Nia's Gang

# Nia's Gang, by Dev\_Moonlight

### Overview & Tips

This strategy aims at dealing as much damage as possible with the first big swarm.

The key is to make the most of Nia's active and passive skills as well as Pain Soup, Stimulant and the synergy from the Sharkkus Pathfinder.

#### Champion

- Bullseye (Passive Skill): Enemies hit by Nia will receive 75 extra damage for 5 seconds (and it stacks!)

- Get out of my way! (Active Skill): Enemie shit receive 30% more damage during 6 seconds

- Don't come closer! (Passive Skill): Make sure to keep an eye on the icon for this skill as it will fill up once it can be used. In a situation where the skill is not available, you will be able to rely on Pick Up only to get out of tricky situation. And if you're not able to use Pick Up then, you're toast.

- In the situation where a massive group attack is going on, make sure to make good use of your active skill so that your ally troopers can benefit from the 30% extra damage.

#### Miracles

- Freeze: I mostly use this when an enemy champion has been picked up and thrown towards my side of the map. If you have enough mana, I would recommend to use it continuously with Pain Soup and Stimulant. If the enemy champion attacks from a long range, use it on them.

- Pain Soup: Increases the damage taken by 65% for 5 seconds. Combined with Nia's active skill this can be a huge game changer.

- Stimulant: Increases speed by 50% during 6 seconds. This is great miracle to create intense strikes.

- Cleansing: If you're about togo in with a heavy swarm but your opponent uses Freeze or Mass Disguise and thus comes in the way of your plan, you can respond by using Cleansing
Static Shock: This miracle is the best to deal with enemy Scouters or Gliptos Chasers.

- Vacuum: This miracle is effective at getting enemy Scouters/Gliptos Chasers together, but can also help if you intend on using Nia's active skill, Freeze or Pain Soup on as many units as possible
Healing Powder: Even if you're winning at the front, if your units are in a critical state, you might not be able to push much more forward. In the case that you do not have a healer in your team, then this miracle is the next best thing.

#### Troopers

- Rapanossan Warrior: Creaea's #1 trooper! The key is in placing them at the feet of the enemy tower so that they can help in the first big swarm. But do not send more than one unit at a time. You should save your rations for other troopers too.

- Sharkkus Hunter: Use this trooper after the enemy champion has just been picked up so that they have tno way to escape. Since it sends several units at once, it will be effective in regular attacks as well.
Gliptos Chaser / Rapanossam Assassin / Sharkkus Assassin: These troopers are good for instant/fast attacks. I recommend not to send the same type of trooper, but to mix them together. If you pick only Chasers for example, they can be taken down with one miracle, so choose wisely. However, at night try and send more Assassins.

- Sharkkus Pathfinder: Pick this trooper last so that it gives other units a nice boost to deal more damage. If possible, try and place it so that it buffs your tower as well.

#### Extra tips

- Try to make it so that you can combine the attacks of Nia and your troopers, the boost of the Pathfinders and a miracle at the same time.

- If you are winning but still in a bad position when it comes to the health of your champion, do not hesitate to make them rest, their health will go back up!
Please note that the Pathfinder buff cannot be removed with Cleansing.
