Summary

New Age Naielle Bluesteel (ANaielle) is a utility frontline tank that applies a variety of debuffs scattered throughout her kit. Of note are 30% ATK debuff on special skill, 4s bind on enhanced basic attack after special skill and 45% DMG AMP attached to her ultimate.

As ANaielle’s base stats are unimpressive for her cost (notably higher MDL value compared to other Awakened frontline units), her survivability primarily relies on a 4-second Iron Wall self-buff, activated after receiving 18 hits. This mechanic makes her exceptionally resilient against enemies with high attack frequency but low per-hit damage.

PVE Review

ANaielle finds value in PVE through her ATK% debuff, which can be used in tandem with other ATK% debuffers (e.g. Ministra) to mitigate enemy damage output. This gives her a niche in situations where survivability is enough of a concern to warrant dedicated team building to combat. For example, ANaielle fits well into existing (sophisticated) Tyrant Gigas strategies that revolve around the heavy stacking of ATK% debuffs.

PVP Review

In PVP, ANaielle functions as a durable frontline unit. While her debuffs remain relevant, her primary strength lies in the frequent activation of Iron Wall and permanent Special Tier Hitstun Immunity.

Because ANaielle’s survivability relies on Iron Wall self-buff, she is critically weak to buff removal. Buff block (e.g. Anila, Awakened Regina, Awakened Yuna) is especially debilitating, reducing her to a costly underperforming unit for the duration of the debuff.

In a weekly metagame without buff block ANaielle becomes one of the best frontline options in the game.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • ATK% debuffer

  • Iron Wall can make her unkillable

Cons

  • Always one buff block away from death
