Various Nen types in Hunter x Hunter
There are a total of 6 types of Nen.
Hunter × Hunter Nen is often praised for its amazing power system. Nen can be very complex, making it a very versatile and amazing power system.
In the case of Nen, the auras that humans can have are divided into six categories. Each person belongs to the Nen type, and some are inclined to other types adjacent to the main type.
The types of Nen are as follows:
- Enhanced: This Nen type is in some ways the most basic, but at the same time the most balanced. As the name suggests, it uses the user's aura to strengthen something about the user. It could be something as simple as strengthening your punches or improving your sense of smell to a whole new level. Enhancers generally have incredible offensive and defensive abilities.
- Emission: It is easier for the emitter to separate his or her aura from the body. This can be used in a variety of ways, the most obvious being a long-range attack using the aura. It can also be used to power something without constant input from the user, as in the case of Zukuro. It can also be used to teleport or move the user or something along those lines.
- Transmutation: The transmuter can modify the properties of the Nen Aura. The properties an aura can take are not limited. It may be a natural element or an artificial substance.
Anyone can learn Nen if they put in the effort and effort. That's why you need to be careful when choosing who to learn from. — wings
- Conjuration: Conjuration can often be confused with transmutation. This is because both may seem very similar at first glance. While the transmuter modifies his or her aura to resemble an object or substance, the enchanter's aura becomes the object itself. A wizard's creations are more independent of themselves and can be granted special powers or rules.
- Manipulation: The Manipulator can use his or her aura to manipulate other people, animals, or inanimate objects. Manipulators are especially fearsome in combat because they can control enemies when the conditions for their abilities are met. Most types of control a manipulator can impose on a target include coercion, pseudo-coercion, and inducement.
- Specialization: Specialists are very special and their abilities don't really fit into any other Nen category. This is a unique category in every way. Although it is possible for someone to fall into one Nen category and later become an expert like Kurapika, this is not at all common.
