Is Narja Worth Pulling?

Only pull Narja if you have characters who can complement her playstyle, such as Mei Lin, Veronica, Cassius, Sereniel, or Chizuru. She isn’t an overpowered Controller on her own, but she can be very strong with the right team composition and specific card epiphanies.

Best Team Compositions

Position	Character
DPS	Mei Lin
Sub DPS	Veronica
Support	Narja

Mei Lin is currently the ideal teammate for Narja because she maximizes both parts of Narja's kit. She depends heavily on basic attacks and has multi-hit skills that work perfectly with Narja's buffs, making this pairing extremely effective.

Veronica provides valuable card draw, which Narja lacks unless you get specific upgrades. As a fellow Passion character, she also helps fuel Mei Lin's Rising Dragon Spire ability, creating strong synergy across the team.

Alternative Team Members

Character	Explanation
Sereniel	Sereniel's exceptional multi-hit capabilities match perfectly with Narja's abilities, creating powerful combo opportunities.
Cassius	Cassius can substitute for Veronica if needed. His Quest Cards grant morale buffs to the team and offer card draw options, though less reliably than Veronica.

Playstyle Tips and Strategy/How to Play

Narja is a flexible all-rounder who can fulfill multiple roles simultaneously. She excels at dealing decent single-target and area damage while reducing card costs to improve action point efficiency. Her kit provides consistent team buffs and substantial passive healing at minimal cost.

Through different Epiphanies, she can specialize as a DPS, basic attack buffer, or defense-based damage booster, though the defense build isn't fully optimized yet at release.

Certain Epiphanies let Narja amplify defense-scaling attacks, making her excellent support for tanks like Khalipe, Magna, or Maribell.

Core Mechanic: Voracity & Predation Stacks

Narja's gameplay revolves around building and spending two unique buffs:

• Voracity (max 30 stacks): While active, every hit from Attack Cards heals the team for 40% and grants 30% bonus damage if team HP is above 50%. Each hit consumes one stack.
• Predation: Provides 80% bonus damage per hit to Attack Cards. Like Voracity, each hit consumes one stack.

Important: Both buffs work with card-based attacks and Ego Skills but NOT with triggered effects like Mark or Counter. Area attacks consume stacks for each enemy hit (hitting 4 enemies = 4 stacks consumed).

Basic Gameplay Loop

1. Build Voracity using Shackles of Hunger and/or Voluntary Control
2. Apply discounts with Bottomless Hunger when you have good targets
3. Consume stacks to power up attacks or activate card effects
4. Use Mealtime when heavily discounted to apply Predation for your strongest attacks, or to heal if you have the epiphany.
5. Use Domain of Voracity either before building stacks (for debuffs) or after (for damage)
6. Weave in Ego Skill to maintain Voracity or set up Predation

Generate stacks, manage them wisely, and time your high-damage cards when Predation is active for maximum impact. Do this, and you will have a great time playing Narja.
