Nagash Guide

## Team Selection

N'agash in my opinion is the easiest dragon that we have to deal with. The strategy is simple, put as many negative statuses on him and attack him before he had possibility to remove all statuses from himself. But there is few tricks we can adapt to make the fight even easier. Dragon is not doing much damage, so we do not need strong healers, but we need lot of attackers to get enough high score, as dragon has high EHP value and the general threshold is setup high. First of all we need to find at least two characters that will apply statuses on the dragon. Dragon RES is only 150% on the maxed level dragon, so getting ACC value from sets and cabinet should be enough to get sufficient value. We can get maximal chance of applying status with 135% ACC, The red heroes needs 30% less, as they got color advantage over the dragon. Additionally, decrease Resistance is also a negative status that we can apply, then required ACC will fall to 95% (65% for reds). We can use Vermin dragon to do this for us or we can use one of the following characters:

Heroes that apply Decrease Resistance status

Being able to apply ten negative statuses is not that difficult. Two can comes from our dragon, additional two we can get from poison potion, so we need two or three heroes that will apply six statuses in total. The most important status is decrease speed, slower dragon will give us more time to deal damage while is affected by ten statuses. Here is a list of heroes that can do this for us.

Recommended heroes with decrease speed status

We can complete the missing negative statuses with one of the heroes below:

Recommended Heroes that apply statuses

This is not a complete list of all heroes that apply statuses, we truly can use any hero that doing this effectively like Tala Ordia Zarkon, What is important, we should choose statuses that stack or are not applied by other team members, and we should avoid Heal Block as this status we can get from poison potion. We don't care here about duration of the statuses, but the quantity, as N'agash anyway will probably remove them in his turn. Naturally we should avoid heroes that apply Decrease Defense, Freeze, Silence, Stun or Sleep as dragon is immune to those. If we got a plan for 10 statuses, we should choose attackers that would benefit from those the most.

Heroes that benefit the most from negative statuses

If we do not have heroes that especially benefits from negative statuses we can take a red hero or not blue hero that got some good passive bonuses or deals damage based on enemies max HP. We should add as many heroes to have four in total.

Now we should still have slot for fifth hero. The dragon is not doing huge damage so we can add a hero that from one hand would protect the team and from the other would give as some additional points. If we took a lot of heroes that deals damage based of ATK we can add someone to increase this statistic, if we decide to go with HP or DEF heroes we can take Tasix that would add points from reflect damage or if we add Dagda we can go without support at all and just add another, in this case, HP attacker. Also heroes that can increase speed of our heroes are very useful, as we can increase the duration when we can deal damage to dragon while he is affected by ten statuses.

Recomended Supports

When fighting N'agash, we have a whole range of heroes to choose from, so the variety of squads is also large, we will definitely achieve the best results by using heroes who gain along with the number of statuses on the opponent. On the other hand, the mecha of the dragon allows the use of other heroes who will easily provide us with the general level. The most important element is to build a squad with at least 6 statuses, as we can provide four with potions and a dragon. 10 statuses will reduce the armor of the dragon by 70%. I have described how to make it easier to keep 10 statuses on the dragon in the Gameplay section.

## Sample Teams

Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of N'agash and knowing which heroes will be effective in the fight against the dragon, and what we have at our disposal, we can choose the team. When choosing, it is worth considering the colors of the heroes and their interaction with each other. Also we need to check that statuses we apply does not overlap each other. The following heroes layouts will be the best matchups for N'agash.

* mono red squad - will make full use of the color advantage, but a large penalty for collecting mana will be applied to allies. Additionally, in this composition, the dragon will attack the hero with the lowest EHP, so you should think about taking hero that apply provoke, like Torug, with you to force the dragon to attack him.
* 4 +1 - Four characters should be red in this setup. A character not blue will attract the dragon's attention, which we can use to our advantage, if we set its DEF and HP values high. Red heroes will have a color advantage dealing increased damage, while they will have a moderate mana collection penalty for allies.
* 3 + 2 - In this setup, it is best to choose three red heroes who should attack and 2 of a different color act as supports or status spamers. The dragon will attack a non-red hero with a lower EHP, so all non-red characters should have high durability. Three heroes will have a small mana-gathering penalty for allies. However, focusing only on two colors will more than compensate for it.
* 2 + 2 + 1 - the most economical setting when it comes to collecting mana, while as many as 3 characters will be taken into account when searching for the weakest target by the dragon. Therefore, it is worth adding a character dedicated to drawing the dragon's attention with a taunt or provocation, or make sure that all 3 have high EHP.

Here are few sample team's setups:

## Gameplay

N'agash will remove all negative statuses from himself when he cast his skill, this will cause that we would have to apply all statuses again to reduce his huge armor. We can do two three things to help our-self. First off all we can add equipment that increase speed of our heroes. The dragon will move less often and the duration with ten statuses will increase. Secondly, we can synchronize the speed of our team so all five heroes will move one by one and will not be separated by the dragon's turn. Lastly we can pickup green stones just before N'agash turn so he will not be able to gather enough mana to cast his skill. To increase amount of negative statuses we should take poison potion with us. The small bottle gives exactly the same as the big bottle in case of boss fight, but the small poison got more uses, so if we don't want to take both we should choose the small one. If we miss someone to increase speed and increase attack we can take potion of strength also. Rest of the slots we should fill with mana and healing potions. We should use poison potion directly after N'agash cast his skill, so all heroes could attack with gemstones with at least 14% armor reduction.

Just before the frenzy, it is worth recharging the skills of our attackers with the remaining mana bottles to take advantage of the negative statuses imposed on the dragon, before he removes them and thus improve your score a little more.
