To be honest, what makes a "nuker" is kinda relative to each person - meaning that there isn't exactly a clear cut definition of what a nuker is. In general, a nuker is a unit which posseses or can possess high damage output - be that in orthodox or unorthodox methods.

Normal Attack Nukers

Normal Attack Nukers are interesting because a good number of them don't actually shine through their BBAtks. What make them special is their ability to turn normally useless standard attacks into devastating nukes for the entire squad. This is done by a hitcount buff on their UBB, and can be boosted by a classic hitcount buff via BB or SBB. At the moment, the highest hitcount boost present is a +4 hitcount buff with a total of 250% damage total, but weaker forms of it exist. However, these units don't really shine much in PvP situations, wherein UBBs are locked. Units such as Savia, Ceulfan, and Ciardha fall into this category.

PvP Nukers 

Units in this category are those which bear inherently high damage outputs without the need of BB/SBB buffs. They often have the capacity to OHKO opponents, and, as such, are mainly used in PvP content. However, a fair amount of them aren't effective in other content, such as in Trials or Strategy Zones, due to their low constitution or lack of an extensive buffpool. These units shine the most in PvP content, but are also commonly used in farming situations (e.g. farming the Monday EXP dungeon) thanks to their quick yet deadly attacks. Units such as Zekuu and Mifune fall under this category.

BBAtk Nukers

So, this category is probably the most extensive one. Let me explain.

Essentially, we can dub this class the "standard nuker". Nukers in this class, regardless of their buffs, share a common trait - either their BBs, SBBs, or both have damage scaled to their remaining HP. Essentially, the higher their current HP is, the more powerful their attacks become. Another version of this are units who have their damage scaled to how many times you activate their BBAtks. Basically, every unit bearing innate damage boosts on their BB or SBB fall into this category. As you can probably guess, this makes this particular category very, very extensive. Units such as Vaisal, Faelan, and Rize can all fall under this category.

Self-Sparking Nukers

There are two conditions to fall under this category: 1), for you BB or SBB to have a combination of an AoE, Single Target, and/or Random Target attack; and 2), for these attacks to be able to spark against each other. This ability to self-spark are what makes these units so deadly - given the right spheres, they can be downright destructive. Most, if not all, Vortex Arena units can fall under this category, but the earliest example of this trait is Nyami (pre-Omni).

'''Keep note that there are many more nukers out there aside from those mentioned. ''' Additionally, being on this list doesn't exactly mean the unit is an incredible nuker - they're just the ones that came to mind first as of writing this.

I hope this helped! (^^)/
