Ancient Naga Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (15) HP Superbane ★★☆☆☆
Atk (8) Attack Bane ★★★☆☆
Spd (5) Spd Bane ★★☆☆☆
Def (12) Def Bane ★★★★★
Res (15) Res Boon ★★★★★

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

See the IV Checker for All Units Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

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.

+Res / -Spd

The best IVs for Ancient Naga are +Res and -Spd. Ancient Naga is built to be a tanky unit with her high defensive stats. Improving her bulk through her Res superboon is ideal to make her excel in her role.

Naga's Spd is her least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane, as it will not change her matchups against both fast foes and slow foes.

+Res for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Res IV when merging Ancient Naga up to +10 to maximize her overall defensive stats. Res is a superboon, but +Def can also be used if opting for more physical bulk.

Ancient Naga is a close magic 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 Res stat.

Ancient Naga Strengths

Ancient Majesty inflicts Frozen and Guard

Ancient Naga Attack

Ancient Naga's exclusive weapon Ancient Majesty has built-in dragon effective damage and inflicts Atk/Res-7, 【Frozen】, and 【Guard】 onto the closest foes and any foes within 2 spaces of those foes at the start of each player and enemy phase.

In combat, Ancient Majesty grants Naga up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14 based on the number of allies within 3 rows or 3 columns, bonus true damage equal to 15% of her foe's Atk, and 50% damage reduction piercing.

Ancient Majesty in-combat effects aren't special, but the support it provides is hard to find and gives Naga a useful niche in combat.

Divine God Fang has built-in Guidance and grants bonus effects to allies

The bulk of Ancient Naga's strength comes from her exclusive C skill, Divine God Fang. This skill has built-in Guidance 4 for all movement types, granting superior mobility for her allies.

Divine God Fang also grants Naga and her nearby allies 【Dragon-effective damage】, 【Dragon Shield】, and 【Empathy】 at the start of each phase, and grants Naga Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, +7 true damage, +7 true damage reduction on all of her foe's attacks, and Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat.

Most exclusive C skills lack mobility, and for fliers like Ancient Naga, can be detrimental due to being in the C slot and locking them out of Guidance 4 to provide mobility for the team. Divine God Fang has this effect built-in, removing this weakness while also granting useful statuses to Naga and her allies.

Ancient Naga Weaknesses

Weak to Bows

As a flying unit, Ancient Naga 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.

Weak to Dragon Effective Weapons

Ancient Naga takes 1.5x damage from dragon-effective weapons like Divine Mist, and one blow from this type of weapon will deal significant damage. However, Divine God Fang can remove this weakness if it successfully applies 【Dragon Shield】 to Naga.
