Work suitabilities & base role
Nox is tagged for Farming, Medicine Production. Slot it into a base loop that stacks its highest work value — for example, an night-shift medicine bench line — and give it the Workaholic + Serious passives to squeeze out extra work speed.

Nox's partner skill "Umbral Veil" activates while it rides on your shoulder or is deployed. Its ride speed of 624 makes it a support-only rider — better as a base worker than a full-time mount.
