Nen is the primary power system in Hunter x Hunter, and it is widely regarded as one of the most well-developed power systems in shonen anime. There are plenty of powerful male Nen users, but there are also many highly skilled female Nen users in the series. The best female Nen users aren’t necessarily good fighters, but they have mastered their abilities regardless.
Several of Hunter x Hunter‘s best female Nen users are associated with the Phantom Troupe, which is to be expected. Most of the others are high-ranking members of the Hunter’s Association who have still not revealed their full power. One of the series’ few Nen masters happens to be female.
Pakunoda Was Not Physically Strong, but She Was a Gifted Nen User
Pakunoda was a founding member of the Phantom Troupe and was part of the group’s Recon and Cleanup unit. This means she was tasked with gathering information and getting rid of evidence. In terms of physical strength, Pakunoda was not that impressive, but she was very accurate with pistols. Her Nen capabilities were also highly coveted.
Pakunoda was a Specialist who could read other people’s memories through physical contact. She could extract their purest memories, which meant no one could feed her false information or confuse her with random thoughts. Pakunoda could also use Conjuration to produce Nen bullets or standard bullets that were enhanced with Nen. She also produced special bullets that could erase someone’s memories or implant memories in their head.
Palm Siberia Became a Better Nen User After Becoming a Chimera Ant Hybrid

Palm Siberia was captured during the Chimera Ant Arc and got turned into a Chimera Ant hybrid. As a human, Palm’s Nen ability was useless in combat because it allowed her to observe a target at any time through a crystal ball. That said, she became a much more effective Nen user after becoming a hybrid.
Palm became an Enhancer who leans towards Transmutation. She could still use a slightly altered version of her original Nen ability to locate people, but she can now use Black Widow, which is very effective in battle. With it, she can wrap her hair around her body to form outfits that are directly connected to her emotions. She can focus her Nen into the hair to make it as strong as armor, while also using Nen to enhance all of her physical attacks.
Tsubone Is Considered the Zoldyck Family’s Strongest Butler
The Zoldyck Family are the most lethal assassins in the world, and they employ butlers to serve and protect them. The strongest butlers are highly capable Nen users, and Tsubone is the most effective of these butlers. She is a Conjurer with a dual affinity towards Transmutation. Her primary Nen ability appears to be symbiotic because it relies on another person’s aura for fuel.
Tsubone can transform into various vehicles, including a motorcycle that can keep up with Killua’s Speed of Lightning. She can also morph into a glider that functions like a fighter jet since it can shoot Nen missiles that are powerful enough to shoot down other aircraft. Tsubone has mastered her very versatile Nen ability, but the only downside is that she cannot move unless she has at least one rider.
Zazan Was a Chimera Ant Squadron Leader and a Dangerous Manipulator
Zazan was originally a Chimera Ant Squadron Leader before breaking off to establish her own nest in Meteor City. When she was alive, she was one of the strongest Manipulation Nen users in HxH. She even forced Feitan, one of the Phantom Troupe’s best fighters, to get serious and use his overwhelming Nen ability.
Zazan could transform humans into horrifying animal hybrids by stinging them. The metamorphosis would kill the target if they were too weak, but those who lived would be completely loyal to her. She could control up to a dozen hybrids at once, and there was no way to reverse the transformation. Zazan also appeared to be proficient in Enhancement and another Nen category because she could transform into a crocodile-like monster with incredible strength and durability.

Shizuku is a member of the Phantom Troupe and the only current member of the Recon and Cleanup unit, which is understandable given her Nen ability. She can kill weaker Nen users with a single hit, and she even defeated a Chimera Ant soldier with enhanced physical abilities on her own. This makes Shizuku one of Hunter x Hunter‘s strongest Conjuration Nen users.
Shizuku can conjure a vacuum cleaner named Blinky, which, despite its gaping maw and tongue, is a conjured object rather than a Nen beast. This vacuum can inhale a seemingly unlimited number of nonliving objects, but it cannot inhale living things or other Nen objects. Initially, Blinky could inhale living things, but Shizuku added the restriction in order to see traps. If Shizuku can cut her opponent, Blinky can suck all the blood out of their body through the wound.
Cluck Is a Member of the Zodiacs and One of the Hunter Association’s Top Manipulators
The Zodiacs were established by Isaac Netero, and their main purpose is to act as the Hunter Association’s high council. It is made up of twelve of the Association’s top Hunters. Cluck is a member of this council, and according to Kanzai, a fellow Zodiac, she is stronger than Morel and Knov, who are top-tier Hunters in their own right.
Cluck’s strength is held in high regard because she was once Netero’s sparring partner. She is a Manipulator who can control a large number of birds simultaneously. She used pigeons to deliver messages to every Hunter in the world, which means she could control at least 600 birds at once. Cluck has other Nen abilities that she has revealed to the other Zodiacs, but fans have not seen them yet.
Guess the anime from the emojis.
Gel Is a Member of the Zodiacs and the World’s Top Poison Hunter
Gel is also a member of the Zodiacs and Netero’s former sparring partner. She is a Poison Hunter who specializes in various poisons and their pharmaceutical usage, which is why she was named to the Science Team traveling to the Dark Continent. Like Cluck, Gel is said to be stronger than both Knov and Morel.
Given her position, Gel is an accomplished Nen user, and she is confident in her skills because she threatened Pariston while surrounded by the rest of the Zodiacs. Gel has more than one Nen ability, but she has not revealed them all in combat. She can use Nen to transform her arm into a snake, which means she is likely a Transmuter or Conjurer.

Machi is a founding member of the Phantom Troupe, and when it comes to overall physical strength, she ranks sixth among the group. She possesses incredible speed and reflexes, and she is an exceptionally skilled fighter who can hold her own against Feitan and Phinks, two of the Troupe’s best fighters. Machi is a natural Transmuter, but she has an affinity for Enhancement as well.
Machi can transmute her aura into threads. She can use them to sew up wounds and completely reattach severed limbs in a short time. The threads can be used to set up elaborate traps, and once someone is caught, Machi can choose to slice them apart or strangle them. Machi can also choose to attach her threads to someone and control them like a puppet. Such an ability requires a great deal of Nen control.
Cheadle Yorkshire Is the Current Chairwoman of the Hunter Association and Netero’s Former Sparring Partner
Cheadle may look harmless, but as the current Chairwoman of the Hunter Association, she is one of the top Hunters in the world. She is one of only 10 Triple-Star Hunters, which means she has made remarkable achievements in her field and fulfilled the first six articles of the Hunter Bylaws. In Cheadle’s case, she is a Disease Hunter who has helped cure multiple illnesses.
Cheadle possesses a genius-level intellect and was known as the “Brain of the Zodiacs” when she was part of the group. She has not revealed any type of Nen ability yet, but given her former status as Netero’s sparring partner, she is highly proficient in Nen.

According to series creator Yoshihiro Togashi, there are only a handful of Nen masters in Hunter x Hunter, and Biscuit is one of them. This automatically makes her the best female Nen user in the series. Her mastery of Nen makes Biscuit an exceptional teacher, as demonstrated when she taught Gon and Killua how to develop their respective Nen abilities.
Biscuit is primarily a Transmuter, but she is also proficient in Emission, Enhancement, and Manipulation. Her child-like appearance is due to her Transmutation ability, as it allows her to transform her body to look like a young girl. Biscuit wields enhanced strength, but it becomes superhuman with Enhancement. She can summon a Nen masseuse who can restore vitality, relieve fatigue, and accelerate aura restoration.
