Nungal
AMobile physical unit with spear patterns; bridges into SP Nungal investment later.
Last updated: 2026-08-02
Player notes
Nungal is a Legendary Seeker tagged with Iria. In practical terms they cover flank assassination and Act Again kill loops. Mobile physical unit with spear patterns; bridges into SP Nungal investment later.
Use as flexible physical until limiteds outclass; keep shards if SP is planned.
In the role triangle, lean on free damage into Breakers and respect Defenders. Stars and gear still matter more than matchup alone on hard maps.
Star plan on this page (“Hold for SP if possible”) is a budgeting hint: finish the first power spike that stabilizes clears, then reassess against your enabler and main carry before dumping every shard here.

Gear deep dive
- Weapon — Spear of Iria: Iria spear with first-turn tempo and NRG utility. Prefer it when first-turn tempo and NRG top-up on physical Iria cores.
- Trinket — Focus Lens: Crit lens for physical carries mid-game. Best when universal crit budget piece — highest build count in the DB.
- Tarot — Strength: Raw power tarot for bruisers and breakers. Take it for raw power bruisers when execute tarots are missing.
Open each gear page for alternatives and Best on lists.
Team plan
Nungal wants an Act Again enabler and a Defender who holds aggro while they flank. Prioritize backline kills so kill-passives and multi-action loops fire.
- Open with Pierce Run when the board allows a clean cast.
- Keep reaction (Slip Step) online—do not strip it for vanity actives mid-fight.
- Basic attack (Spear Jab) is for reposition turns or when NRG is dry.
- Count kill thresholds before committing—wasted openers cost the Act Again or NRG window.
