Hatari Nailah

Weapon: Royal Hatari Fang

Assist: Positional Assist / flexible

Special: Galeforce / flexible

IVs: +Atk or +Spd / -Res or -Def or -HP

Passive A: Flashing Blade 3 or 4 / flexible

Passive B: Wings of Mercy / flexible

Passive C: Time’s Pulse / Glare

Sacred Seal:  Quickened Pulse / Blade Session / flexible

• One of Nailah’s strengths is her ability to use Galeforce, Canto, and Wings of Mercy together in the same set. This makes her a great choice for a follow-up unit on a galeforce team that can teleport adjacent to a low-HP ally, KO an opponent, activate galeforce, KO another opponent, and then move with Canto to potentially trap a third opponent. In addition to those effects, Royal Hatari Fang also accelerates Galeforce’s cooldown to 4, and prevents her Special charge from being slowed by enemy skills such as Guard or Sturdy Stance 3. As Nailah is an infantry unit, she can also benefit from skills like Time’s Pulse or Infantry Pulse on a teammate to charge Galeforce at the start of turn 1. If she starts the map with a 2 charge Galeforce, she can hit a single foe one time and guarantee that Galeforce activates as long as Flashing Blade is active. 
• This set can also function similarly using a damage-dealing Special instead of Galeforce; Nailah will in that case have fewer actions but deal more damage against a single target. This is highly useful on some teams, and she can still “trap” units using Canto. 
• Some skills can be swapped out for others depending on how the player wants to use Nailah; Wings of Mercy may not be necessary or useful in some contexts for example, or the extra mobility from something like Odd Tempest may be desired. 
• Ideally, Nailah will start the map by receiving two “Pulses” from any source, whether that be Time’s Pulse or Quickened Pulse in her own kit, or a skill like Infantry Pulse or Ostia’s Pulse II on a teammate. Skills can be replaced in order to maximize her power while also hitting this target. 
• The ideal boon is +Spd for Flashing Blade activation, though there is also a solid case for +Atk for extra power. A bane in any defensive stat is fine, with -Res being arguably the best due to the relative rarity of melee units that will retaliate and target Res compared to those that hit Def. 

Weapon: Royal Hatari Fang

Assist: Positional Assist / flexible

Special: Luna / Moonbow / flexible

IVs: +Atk or +Spd / -Res or -Def or -HP

Passive A: Sturdy Surge / Surge Sparrow / flexible

Passive B: Lull Spd/Def / Hit and Run / flexible

Passive C: Glare / Time’s Pulse / Odd Tempest / flexible

Sacred Seal:  Blade Session / Quickened Pulse / flexible

• This set attempts to capitalize on Nailah’s ability to activate Specials and deal high damage. The choice of Special depends on the skills used. With Moonbow and Time’s Pulse or Quickened Pulse, she can begin the turn with Moonbow already charged, activate it on her first hit, and if she gets counterattacked she will charge it again and activate it on her second hit. This can deal very high damage across two hits. Alternatively, she can stick with Luna if not using any kind of Pulse in order to activate it on the second hit only, but with higher power. 
• Sturdy Surge is the superior A slot against slow units that can counterattack Nailah for high damage, as it raises her Def against those foes. Surge Sparrow is better if she needs the extra Spd to follow-up against a fast unit. Other A skills that boost Atk and Spd can also work. 
• Lull Spd/Def provides a straightforward -3 to Nailah’s foe’s Spd and Def, as well as neutralizing any visible buffs they have in those stats. This improves her ability to deal damage and follow-up attack. Alternatively, she can opt for Hit and Run in order to retreat backwards 1 tile after combat, allowing her to more effectively escape enemy threat range in combination with the Canto effect of Royal Hatari Fang. 
• At time of writing, Blade Session provides the highest potential boost to Atk and Spd from a seal, but other seals like Atk/Spd Solo are also good choices. Quickened Pulse can be used to charge Nailah’s Special by 1 at the start of turn 1, but unlike Time’s Pulse, it only works on turn 1 of the map, not every turn.
