Note: Narja's performance will significantly improve if her cards has a Draw 1 Divine Epiphany.

One of Narja's build focuses on increasing the damage of basic cards with Voluntary Control while maintaining Voracity stacks and card discounts with Bottomless Hunger. She can also significantly increase the damage of one attack card using Shackles of Hunger after consuming 5 Voracity stacks while providing enough heals for the party to survive most attacks.

For her Memory Fragments, this build works best with a 4/2 set using the new memory fragment, Glory's Rein, to get a 15% multiplicative damage boost to allies after using 3 cards with exhaust, Tetra's Authority to provide Narja more defense stat for her healing.

Her favored chaos zone this Season 2: Seed of Karmic Fire is Burning Life to get her best equipment such as Pale Eternal Flame for a 10% multiplicative damage after exhausting a card. Vine Lord's Mask to get a shield after drawing a card with exhaust and Sphere of Randomness for a 10% max HP plus a draw 1 and 1 AP at the start of battle however this weapon is exclusive drop chance from Senectus.

Main DPS Sub-DPS
Mei Lin Mei Lin Veronica Veronica

Narja's best team for this build is Mei Lin and Veronica. Mei Lin is the best character currently that can utilize both aspects of this Narja build at its full potential because she relies heavily on her basic attack card and also has a multi-hit attack card that benefits with Narja's buffs.

Veronica can help with more card draw for this team as Narja doesn't have any if you don't get a draw 1 divine epiphany for her and also fuel Mei Lin's Rising Dragon Spire as she is also a Passion character.

Alternative Team Members

Character Explanation
Chizuru Chizuru Can replace Mei Lin as a Main DPS. You need her Moonslash Oni Hunt build for this to work much better than Mei Lin however what she lacks is a proper multi-hit attack as she can't scale Shadow of the Moon in the same speed as Mei Lin.
Rei Rei Can replace Veronica as a Support. Rei can provide more damage buffs to Mei Lin at the cost of losing consistent card draw, AP reduction, and passion cards.
Cassius Cassius Can replace Veronica as a Support. Quest Cards can help give more morale buffs to the party and he also has access to draw but not as consistent as Veronica and his quest cards can consume Voracity stacks.

Can Fit in Select Team Comps

Narja can reliably heal and buff the party to full HP as long as you can maintain her Voracity stacks and her Mealtime can burst heal and deal reasonable damage if at max stacks and built specifically. She also has a unique ability where she can buff defense-based teams such as Khalipe, Magna, Maribell, Amir and recently, Nine, while having access to shields.

Narja can be built in many ways but her best build currently as a support is all about buffing basic and multi-hit attack cards. Her choice of Shackles of Hunger should always be the epiphany that increases the next attack card up to 200% if you are able to consume 5 stacks of Voracity. This card will also give 3 stacks of Predation resulting to a total of up to 300% damage amount.

As for Bottomless Hunger, her best epiphany is the one that gives Voracity stacks and card discount when used. This way, you can also reduce the cost of cards which can ease the usage of Rising Dragon Spire and other cards that costs 1 AP or more.

Her choice for Voluntary Control must be the epiphany that increases the damage amount of basic cards permanently and increases Voracity stack for each hit. This ensures that you can maintain Voracity stacks making Mei Lin's cards deal increased damage all the time.

After the February 4 Patch, You can also delete these two cards if you can without any save data limit cost. You can replace those two cards with two neutral cards you can obtain in the new chaos zone with Ebony Lumen for more card draw and Nutrient Absorption for the exhaust trigger which can activate the effects of Glory's Reign.

Shackles of Hunger Combo

Narja's best build buffs characters that revolves around using basic cards and multi-hit attacks. Since Mei Lin can do both, she can utilize both part of Narja's kit to its full extent. Here are the steps to execute the highest possible damage you can achieve with her buffs:

  1. Play Voluntary Control and Flame Dragon Jewel first alongside a few upgrade cards if needed.
  2. Have Spirit of the Aromata, Shackles of Hunger and Rising Dragon Spire in your hand before doing the next steps.
  3. Use Spirit of the Aromata first before using any of Mei Lin and Veronica's cards.
  4. Play Bottomless Hunger to discount cards after attacking and get more Voracity stacks.
  5. Leave at least 2 AP so you can use Rising Dragon Spire.
  6. Before using Shackles of Hunger, ensure that you have at least 5 Voracity stacks then play Rising Dragon Spire after to deal huge damage.

Voracity Heal Does Not Activate Heal Effects

Voracity heal activates after hitting an enemy with an attack but it will not activate equipment, card or passive effects that has a heal or recover condition. For example, Shining World Tree Stem, Lightless Stem or Branch of Eternity will ignore the healing from Voracity.

Similarly, Voracity will not heal stress from combatants even if your health is not full.

Voracity Activates Per Enemy Hit

Voracity activates on each enemy hit which means that multi-hit and AoE attack cards will consume multiple stack per use.

For example, if a 3-hit attack card is used, it will use 3 Voracity stack. Similarly, if an AoE attack card hits 4 enemies, it will consume 4 Voracity stack.

Predation and Voracity are Consumed Together

Once Predation is active, using an attack card will always use both stacks resulting to a buff to damage up to 140% additive damage increase per hit.

Icon Difference When Predation is Active

Chaos Zero Nightmare - Voracity Icon Change
You can quickly tell if you have both effects active if the icon underneath Narja's portrait below the party HP has its mouth open. Otherwise, if the mouth is closed that means you currently don't have any Predation stacks.

Bottomless Hunger and Shackles of Hunger Can Stack

Some epiphanies of Bottomless Hunger can stack and be used in future turns meaning that you can amass the amount of card discounts and use it even after the turn you played the card. Shackles of Hunger is the same where multiple copies or use can increase the damage boost further.

Bottomless Hunger Mealtime Damage Stacks Infinitely

Bottomless Hunger epiphany 5 with the lead tag can stack infinitely until you use Mealtime. This means you can keep Mealtime on your hand and keep stacking additive damage to it then using it to deal massive AoE damage to enemies if you scaled it high enough.

Bottomless Hunger Epiphany 5 Only Extends the Effect Duration

However, multiple copies of Bottomless Hunger epiphany 5 will only extend the duration of its effect but not increase the damage amount it provides to Mealtime.
