Nah

Preferred IV: +ATK / -SPD

+ATK improves Nah’s damage output from her regular and follow-up attacks, greatly improving her KO potential. Of Nah’s possible Flaws, -Spd is preferable as Nah’s HP is valuable.

Weapon: Oracle’s Breath

• Oracle’s Breath is a powerful weapon which incentivizes buffing up Nah’s stats by allowing her to negate enemy follow-up attacks. This weapon effect is not only powerful, but incredibly easy to activate through team support or even a Wave skill in Nah’s own C slot. However, Panic Ploy will counter this weapon directly, so beware of enemy heroes with greater HP than Nah using this skill.

Assist: Reposition / Flexible

• Reposition offers solid maneuverability and can be acquired cheaply, but Nah’s Assist skill is flexible and often team dependant.

Special: Aether / Bonfire / Ignis

• Thanks to Nah’s impressive mixed defenses, she can survive multiple rounds of combat without much threat of KO, provided her foe does not have a dragon-effective weapon. This makes a slower Special skill like Aether more appealing, as it delivers a nice damage boost with some heavy sustain. Aether can keep Nah above the necessary threshold for Quick Riposte while improving her long term durability.

• Alternatively, Bonfire or Ignis discard the healing effect for greater damage. Nah’s base 38 Defense offers a stellar 19 true damage from Bonfire, before accounting for skills, buffs and other effects. With enough Defense, Nah can punch through incredibly bulky opponents with high-power Specials. Ignis offers greater damage on a longer cooldown, but may be preferable in some match-ups.

Passive A: Distant Counter

• Distant Counter is necessary to enable Nah’s counterattack against ranged opponents. Though it offers no bonuses to her stats, Distant Counter vastly improves Nah’s proficiency as an Enemy Phase hero by allowing her to KO ranged attackers instead of merely walling their attacks.

Passive B: Null C-Disrupt / Wrath / Quick Riposte

• Null C-Disrupt ensures that Nah can retaliate against enemies who would otherwise negate counter-attacks. This is primarily significant against heroes with Firesweep weapons or Dazzling Staff, who could otherwise chip away at Nah with safe attacks and out-of-combat damage effects like Poison Strike or Pain.

• Alternatively, Nah can take Wrath for some added damage and Special charge. Wrath can be a very synergistic skill alongside Aether and Quick Riposte, allowing Nah to charge Aether more quickly once she falls out of the necessary threshold for Quick Riposte. Furthermore, the bonus true damage allows Aether to keep up with other Special skills like Bonfire when it comes to damage output.

• For a budget option, Quick Riposte is accessible in Nah’s base kit and can be a strong alternative. While she misses out on the effects of Null C-Disrupt or Wrath, Nah can opt for a different Sacred Seal, opening up choices like Renewal or Brazen Atk/Res.

Passive C: Infantry Breath / Even Attack Wave / Odd Attack Wave / Flexible

• Infantry Breath, if Nah finds herself alongside suitable allies, can be a powerful team asset. Any infantry unit who fights in Enemy Phase can benefit from improved Special charge, allowing more favourable outcomes.

• Alternatively, Wave skills can be extremely potent on Nah, as they ensure that she can maintain the follow-up negation offered by Oracle’s Breath 50% of the time. Though unnecessary if Nah has the appropriate support partner, Wave skills can greatly improve Nah’s independence.

Sacred Seal: Quick Riposte / Renewal / Brazen Atk/Def / Atk/Def Bond

• Quick Riposte ensures that Nah can deliver follow-up attacks when defending on Enemy Phase, allowing her to deal tremendous damage. This skill is essential to improving Nah’s combat ability, and preserving this effect is crucial.

• If Quick Riposte is equipped in the B slot instead, Renewal is a worthy consideration for an alternative. Passive healing allows Nah to take a stronger Special such as Bonfire, without sacrificing on the healing previously offered by Aether.

• Brazen skills like Brazen Atk/Def or Brazen Atk/Res can improve Nah’s combat performance once her HP drops below the necessary threshold. This can give Nah a much needed boost once she falls out of Quick Riposte range, but will not persist if Nah is healed.

• Bond skills can provide a more versatile alternative to Brazen skills. Though Bond Atk/Def grants a lesser stat bonus, the adjacency requirement can be met while Nah remains in Quick Riposte range.

Preferred IV: +ATK / -SPD

+ATK remains the best choice for Nah’s Asset, granting a stellar boost to her damage output. Similarly, -SPD is ideal as Oracle’s Breath negates the requirement for a high Speed stat to avoid enemy follow-up attacks. This is particularly true on this build, which assumes Nah will always be under the effect of a buff.

Weapon: Oracle’s Breath

• Oracle’s Breath allows Nah to disregard her Speed when defending on Enemy Phase, while providing a nice boost to her Attack stat and targeting enemy Resistance. Oracle’s Breath is powerful, but demands that Nah is always affected by a buff.

Assist: Reposition / Flexible

• Reposition offers solid maneuverability and can be acquired cheaply, but Nah’s Assist skill is flexible and often team dependant.

Special: Bonfire / Ignis

• As the focus of this build is damage output, Bonfire is the Special of choice here. Bonfire grants a powerful true damage bonus to Nah’s attack, which will be incredibly strong after accounting for her impressive base Defense, buffs and Bonus Doubler.

• Ignis offers a greater damage bonus in exchange for a longer cooldown. This may be worthwhile on Nah due to her incredibly high Defense, allowing Ignis to deal upwards of 35-40 true damage.

Passive A: Bonus Doubler / Steady Stance / Warding Stance / Fort. Def/Res

• Bonus Doubler is accessible in Nah’s base kit, and synergises incredibly well with Oracle’s Breath. Alongside a suitable partner such as Legendary Azura, Nah can easily achieve a tremendous bonus to all of her stats with consistency and ease.

• Steady Stance, or alternatively Warding Stance, can be worthy alternatives for those looking to protect Nah from enemy Special skills. These skills may be worthwhile against enemies who rely more charging their Special skill during combat, but will offer less versatility compared to Bonus Doubler.

• Fort. Def/Res elevates Nah to the position of an immensely powerful mixed defender: with this skill she can easily reach a Defense and Resistance stat in the low 40s before other skills, buffs or merges are accounted for.

Passive B: Quick Riposte / Wrath / Null C-Disrupt / Guard

• Quick Riposte is Nah’s most affordable option, offering a follow-up attack when defending on Enemy Phase despite her low Speed. Quick Riposte should be taken in the S slot if not here, as the effect is crucial to Nah’s primarily Enemy Phase role.

• Wrath is also a great choice here, offering a powerful bonus to Special charge and damage. Though Nah cannot utilise both Quick Riposte and Wrath simultaneously, the effect is still incredibly valuable and improves Nah’s damage output considerably.

• Guard allows Nah to delay enemy Specials, maximising the value of her defensive stats and ensuring that heroes with powerful Special skills such as Zelgius and Legendary Alm cannot catch her off-guard.

• Null C-Disrupt is useful in ensuring that Nah can retaliate against attackers who would otherwise nullify her counterattack, but this skill’s usefulness is limited without Distant Counter. It’s generally worth sticking with one of the aforementioned skills.

Passive C: Even Attack Wave / Odd Attack Wave / Infantry Breath / Flexible

• Even Attack Wave ensures that Nah will benefit from Oracle’s Breath on even turns if she finds herself unable to receive buffs from another teammate. This can be useful in a pinch, but note that this skill as well as Odd Attack Wave are not recommended if Nah is used alongside a dedicated support.

• If Nah has suitable teammates, Infantry Breath is highly recommended to improve the Special charge of Nah’s teammates. Though reliant on class and adjacency requirements, this effect can reverse the tide of battle.

Sacred Seal: Renewal / Quick Riposte / Brazen Atk/Def / Atk/Def Bond

• Renewal offers Nah a boost to her HP throughout the battle, allowing her to fight in multiple engagements. Alongside her impressive mixed defenses, Renewal can make Nah a particularly difficult hero to KO.

• If Quick Riposte is not being taken in the B slot, it’s highly recommended to take it here. Quick Riposte is an incredible valuable part of Nah’s Enemy Phase kit.

• Brazen skills like Brazen Atk/Def or Brazen Atk/Res can improve Nah’s combat performance once her HP drops below the necessary threshold. This can give Nah a much needed boost once she falls out of Quick Riposte range, but will not persist if Nah is healed.

• Bond skills can provide a more versatile alternative to Brazen skills. Though Bond Atk/Def grants a lesser stat bonus, the adjacency requirement can be met while Nah remains in Quick Riposte range.
