Portraits

Nagas and Naga Queens are level 6 creatures of Tower. They are recruited from Golden Pavilion.

"Nagas are guardian defenders of great strength. Their multi-sword attacks always do maximum damage and are so overwhelming they are impossible to counterstrike against." ^{RoE manual}

See the Comparison of Level 6 Creatures (HotA).

Heroes with a specialty

• Fafner the Alchemist has nagas as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any nagas or naga queens for each level attained after 6th level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.

They are very resilient, hit like a truck and have a good special. The Naga Queens are considered to be the best level 6 units, along with the Dread Knights. Their only downsides are that they are a bit slow for their level and very expensive, combined with their somewhat low defense and likelihood of being targeted by the enemy, especially in PvP multiplayer.

16 Attack is decent, but only 13 Defense is on the low side. Fixed 20/30 Damage is the highest of all 6th level creatures. 110 Health is just below Dread Knights. The only lacking stat is 7 Speed. By their nature as very dangerous melee troops with low Defense they tend to attract damage, so when using Nagas, protect them with Shield, Stone Skin, Air Shield. Counterstrike is very powerful when cast on Naga Queens, as it basically gives them more attacks when fighting several melee stacks.

One of the great things about Naga Queens is that their building upgrade requires no wood, making them under certain situations much more feasible to obtain compared to Arch Magi.

A good tactic for early game on maps with relatively enough resources is to try to build the upgraded Golden Pavilion as soon as possible, building the base dwelling first week (together with Citadel or even Castle, on rare occasions) and upgrading it the week after. The 4-6 Naga Queens at the beginning of the second week will ensure your victory over almost any neutral stack, allowing you to expand way quicker.

Trivia

The Forge equivalent of the Naga and Naga Queen, a level 6 Naga troop whose lower half was a tank and the upper part naked, was gonna be called Tank and its upgrade Heavy Tank. It was also gonna cost special resources and most probably bear stats similar to a level 7.

In one-on-one combat with no stats bonus, a Naga Queen defeats a Dread Knight if their Death Blow doesn't trigger.

In cutscenes, Nagas and Naga Queens appear to be just as tall as regular people.
