Strategy/Usage[]
Naala's unique way of attacking may seem hard to understand, so here's how it affects its performance:
- Enemies stalled anywhere in its range get hit exactly once, they thus take 1/3 of its full damage and DPS.
- Enemies approaching it have a chance to not be hit by the attack at all (faster = higher chance), as they may move from the range of an attack that is about to happen to the range of an attack that has just happened.
- Does NOT benefit from a higher de-buff chance/uptime that multi-hit attackers usually receive.
- Bases take damage from the closest hit that reaches them and all that overshoot, taking up to 100% of Naala's DPS (see Hitbox to understand why).
- Enemies hit while in specific positions, if knocked back, may very rarely be hit twice.
Overall, it's like a normal attack with the chance to miss enemies and 1/3 the power outside of bases.
While Naala technically has 15,031 DPS at level 30, in practice it will "only" be 5,010, which is still very good for a Long Distance attacker. The cost is its short standing range; most mid-ranged enemies can easily get the first hit on Naala, meaning that it has to rely on a stepping stone to safely snipe them. Worse still, it only has 1 standing range against enemy bases which means it can get easily ambushed by spawned enemies without having protection from meatshields. Nevertheless, its high health and immunities give it some usage in 4-Crown Uncanny Legends or in specific scenarios. In addition, standing so close to bases with few knockbacks has some potential for cheesing stages, as any non-boss enemy that spawns would not get in front of the base until Naala is half-dead, allowing DPS units that suffer from short range and/or Single Target to safely whale on it for a short while.
True Form[]
Awakened Naala gains several useful buffs that further improve its utility and survivability. What's most important is its enhanced weaken ability, now able to consistently affect Naala's targets with greater uptime. This improvement matters the most when you're up in your neck against particularly nasty Relics such as Magamojoe, Dogumaru, Great Ape Luza, Zero Luza and even Naala's own enemy counterpart. Its Behemoth Slayer and Colossus Slayer are worthy upgrades as well, making Naala's good stats even higher against such enemies and enhancing its offensive compatibility against them. It retains its weaknesses in True Form, but nonetheless, it is one that you won't regret unlocking simply for Naala's role as a powerful Long Distance attacker, as well as Behemoths running rampant in many late-game stages.

Trivia[]
- Elder Beast Naala and Ultima Beast Naala are the first characters to have multi-hit attacks with different effective ranges on each hit.
- Elder Beast Naala may be named after the Japanese city of Nara which is famous for its deer. In fact, Naala and Nara sound almost the same in Japanese.
- Elder Beast Naala bears some resemblances to a Kirin from the Monster Hunter series, especially with its ability to call down lightning.
- However, its color scheme is more evocative of the Pokémon Arceus.
- Elder Beast Naala's Japanese description refers to it as a raijū (雷獣, "thunder-beast"), a Japanese legendary creature whose body is made of lightning and is represented with the form of many different animals, including a deer or qilin.
- Unlike other Legend Cats, Elder Beast Naala's preview displayed when entering Legend Stages shows its enemy counterpart: one can tell from the shape of its tail and the idol on its back.
