Overview

Strengths

  • Manager of Bacchanalia at T5 is a permanent 70% team Critical Damage buff with 15% self crit rate attached.
  • Final Demand hits all enemies for 1920% Attack, stuns for 4s, and applies 25% additional damage received for 16s.
  • Increasing Stakes is a 765% Attack AoE stun every 11s, control uptime that PVP and raid mechanics both use.

Weaknesses

  • PVE Support only reaches A; story waves want raw clear more than crit-damage aura and mark setup.
  • Enforced Collection needs five marks before the 512% hit and the Damage Reduction shred turn on.
  • Brawl at C: 33s ultimate cooldown and mark ramp lose to short rounds.

Extra copies

Feed extras into Transcend first. The team Critical Damage aura and mark thresholds scale with skill level more than an early card dupe.

Transcend stop

Stop at T5. That is where Critical Damage hits 70%, Final Demand's amp reaches 25%, and marks pay 512% with up to 30 shred stacks.

Review

Nia is a Radiance Knight in the middle row whose job is to make everyone else's crits hurt and to interrupt the enemy on a reliable timer. Raids and PVP list her Support at S; general PVE Support is A; Brawl is C. Skill priority is Passive 2 = Active = Ultimate > Passive 1. The aura and the stuns come before the mark payoff.

Manager of Bacchanalia is the reason she has a seat. At T5 allies gain +70% Critical Damage and she gains +15% Critical Hit Chance. That is a permanent party multiplier with no stack condition. Crit-heavy comps draft her for this line alone.

Final Demand at T5 hits all enemies for 1920% Attack, stuns for 4s, and applies 25% additional damage received for 16s, on a 33s cooldown. The amp window is long enough to cover a full team burst cycle after the stun. It is a support ultimate that still prints a large number.

Increasing Stakes is the short control button: 765% Attack to all enemies and a 1.5s stun on an 11s cooldown. Between this and the ultimate she keeps a stun available for PVP openers and raid mechanics that punish free casting. Raise Active alongside Passive 2 and Ultimate; do not treat it as filler.

Enforced Collection is the slower engine. Marks accumulate on targets; at 5 or more marks she deals an extra 512% Attack hit. Once any enemy has 5 of her marks, further stacks shred Damage Reduction by 1% per stack, up to 30 stacks. That is why Passive 1 is last on the priority list. The aura and stuns work from skill one; the mark package needs fight length.

Named gear matches other front-mid Knights: Fragarach (Attack %, Crit DMG %), Warrior Armor (Block %, Crit Res %), Glory of the Empire (HP %), and Rune of Focus (Crit DMG %). Her own crit damage still matters for the 1920% and 765% buttons, but the party-facing value is the 70% Critical Damage aura.

Draft her when the team already crits and needs an amp plus interrupt. Do not draft her as your primary wave clearer. That is the gap between S raid Support and A PVE Support. Keep Transcend moving to T5 so the aura and the mark thresholds are finished; the card can wait.
