New Year Tana Skills at 5★

Snaking Sword Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Allies within 2 spaces of unit can move to any space within 2 spaces of unit. If unit has entered combat or used an Assist skill during the current turn, allies can move to a space within 2 spaces of unit. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = number of allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit × 3, + 5 (max 14), deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 20% of unit's Spd during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes).

Draconic Aura Cooldown Count = 3 Boosts Atk by 30%.

Heavenly Wings Enables 【Canto (Dist. +1; Max 4)】. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts penalty to foe's Atk/Spd/Def = 5 + number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat × 3 (max 14), neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks, grants Special cooldown charge +1 to unit per attack (only highest value applied; does not stack), and grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat.

S/D Rein Snap Inflicts Spd/Def-4 on foes within 2 spaces of unit during combat. At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an armored ally or an infantry ally with Range = 1, grants "unit can move 1 extra space" to unit, infantry allies with Range = 1 within 2 spaces of unit, and armored allies within 2 spaces of unit. (That turn only; does not stack; effect triggers only if unit has no Sing or Dance skill.)

New Year Tana Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (10)		★★★★☆
Spd (8)		★★★★★
Def (13)		★★★☆☆
Res (6)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for New Year Tana are +Spd and -Res. Spd is a superboon and boosts her impressive Spd from base 47 to base 51. With Heavenly Wings having a Null Follow-Up effect, boosting Spd is the best option to create follow-up attacks against slower foes and prevent follow-up attacks against faster foes.

New Year Tana's Res stat is quite lackluster at only base 25 and can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging New Year Tana up to +10 to maximize her high Spd stat and create follow-up attacks against slower foes.

New Year Tana Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

New Year Tana Roles

Tana - Soaring New Year Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

New Year Tana is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

New Year Tana Strengths

Snaking Sword grants superior mobility to allies

New Year Tana's Snaking Sword has a built-in omni-Guidance effect allowing any nearby ally to warp to any space within 2 spaces of Tana.

Additionally, after New Year Tana has entered combat or used an Assist skill on the current turn, allies can warp to any space within 2 spaces of Tana no matter where they are on the map. Once enabled, this superior warping effect can be abused, allowing an entire team to warp across the map without any restrictions.

In combat, Snaking Sword grants New Year Tana bonus Atk/Spd/Def/Res equal to 5 plus 3x the number of allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on Tana (up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14), bonus true damage equal to 20% of Tana's Spd, and true damage reduction on foe's first attack equal to 20% of Tana's Spd.

While the in-combat effects are commonly found on many modern metagame weapons, Snaking Sword's warping effects set it apart from other weapons and gives New Year Tana a valuable niche that can be abused under the right conditions.

Heavenly Wings grants Canto and multiple in-combat effects

New Year Tana's exclusive B skill Heavenly Wings grants her 【Canto (Dist. +1; Max 4)】, which is incredibly useful in positioning Tana to take full advantage of Snaking Sword's warping effects. Simply move Tana near the enemy team after her action and warp in the rest of your team to clean up the map.

In combat, Heavenly Wings inflicts up to Atk/Spd/Def-14 onto her foe based on distance travelled, grants Tana a Null Follow-Up effect, Special cooldown charges per attack, and Special cooldown count -1 before her first attack.

Heavenly Wings provides useful combat effects to accelerate her Special use, and grants her impressive post-combat mobility to either retreat or aggressively position herself to abuse Snaking Sword's warping effects.

New Year Tana Weaknesses

Weak to Bows

As a flying unit, New Year Tana takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.

New Year Tana as a Source Hero

New Year Tana has S/D Rein Snap as an inheritable skill. She is the first demote unit to have a tier 4 skill able to be inherited to other units.

S/D Rein Snap isn't exactly the best C skill to equip onto flier units in the current metagame, but it has a niche that makes it great in certain situations.
