Back To Main Page | Back To Units Page

The Naja are a Viper variant specialized as a sniper.

The Naja is a viper variant that is specialized in sniping and exchanges their physical strength for deadly precision. Their weaon of choice is a sniper rifle which allows them to fire at extreme range but requires 2 actions to fire and is not very effective in close range. A more lighter body also makes them incapable of binding targets but instead are capable of scaling buildings sliding along walls to reach higher elevations. As a sniper, they are capable of greatly taking advntage of higher elevation and utilize it to the max as they progress. Similar to Vipers, they are immune to poison

Tips

• Like most flankable units, they will ideally try to find reasonable cover whenever flanked. This can be taken advantage of if you want to force enemies to move. This is especially punishing for Naja's as their sniper rifle requires 2 actions to fire so spending a move effectively skips their turn. Be careful though as ridding them of any possible safe positions or flanking yourself can instead encourage them to make a last ditch effort to injure our soldiers.
• Poison Spit can easily be negated by simply carrying a medikit which grants poison immunity. This immunity can also block the initial poison when spat at, wasting their turn. While Viper's can sometimes spit at a single target, if you group multiple units closeby with immunity it will encourage the viper to spit but is then wasted as you can't be affected.
• As the sniper rifle requires 2 actions to fire, another way to avoid them is to get out of reasonable line of sight. Attempt to take advantage of the environment to avoid being shot at.
