You now face level 25 Nanally. As long as you have your characters ascended to level 30, you won’t have much issue. In fact, all of Nanally’s attacks are just her combos. She doesn’t use any complicated skills or even her Ultimate. Just dodge her attacks and chip away at her until a cutscene starts.

After about a third of its health is gone, it splits into two smaller level 26 versions of itself. They follow the same attack patterns at the Imaginadough, but now you need to contend with two of them.
When a third of its health remains, the pair starts to do combination attacks before forming back into the Imaginadough once again.
Near the end of the fight, the Imaginadough splits itself into the copies once again. By this time, you end up finishing it off.
