Review

Nao is an attempt at a new buffer support. Nao’s kit functions around building up (among other things) an ATK% buff applied and stacked via her special skill.

Nao’s ATK buff has significant overlap with other buffers (e.g. Sky Layfield, Seo Yoon, Awakened Shin Jia). In a 16-man environment (CCB, Raid), Nao is able to provide a slightly better attack buff than Sky, with the trade-off being Nao is a melee-range unit. Nao periodically sees limited play in CCB, if the weekly arena buffs shore up her weaknesses:

  • As Nao’s buffs are tied to ASPD, she benefits heavily from ASPD artifacts

  • In order for Nao to be playable, she needs additional survivability from artifacts

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Decent assortment of buffs.

  • Can act as an offtank with serviceable stats for a frontline supporter.

Cons

  • Struggles to compete against stronger supporters who provide the same buffs and then some, with better consistency.
