Talents: Core Utility Explained
Arknights Nasti do have some useful utilities with her talents as:
-
Talent 1: Multi-Device Carrier Carries 3 devices (deploy up to 2 max; +1 at Module/Pot 6). Effects change per active skill. The first device is cheaper via modules. Devices regen HP slowly but drain during use so position carefully!
-
Talent 2: Ranged Sanctuary Self: 10% Sanctuary (damage reduction). On ranged enemy spawn: Self + all ranged ops gain 15% Sanctuary (+3% Pot 4) + 1 SP every 6s. Cycles backline skills endlessly in prolonged waves, perfect for casters/snipers.
Which Skills You Should Focus on First
When you start building Nasti in Arknights, you want to know which skills give you the best value. All three skills use auto or manual SP recovery, and each activation gives you a device that costs four or six DP depending on the skill. If you want a quick order to follow, you can focus on this path.
-
First priority is S3 at Mastery 3
-
Second priority is S2 at Mastery 1
-
You can leave S1 at its base level
Remember that S3 is the skill that truly defines how you use Nasti. The other two skills help in more specific situations.
Skill 1 Defensive Anchor
You can get a passive device with the skill 1 that increases an ally’s defense. When you activate the skill at Mastery 3, Nasti gains an eighty percent boost to attack and defense, and she hits multiple targets. Her device gives an ally one extra block and fifty five percent more defense while draining two percent of their HP each second. You gain one device when the skill ends.
This skill can be used when you want stable frontline support. It shines in early waves and helps vanguards or defenders stay alive. It works well even with low investment.
Skill 2 Barrier Surge
There is a slow passive HP regeneration with the skill 2 that lands on allies. When you activate the skill at Mastery 3, all devices drain one HP every half second and give allies one SP plus a barrier equal to five percent of Nasti’s maximum HP. Nasti herself stops attacking and gains a barrier equal to ten percent of her maximum HP every half second. This can stack up to eighty percent of her HP. The skill activates all existing devices and gives you one more when it ends.
You can use this when your team needs emergency SP, especially if you run operators who depend heavily on their skills. The slight delay caused by the regen effect can reduce uptime, so you want to use it carefully.
Skill 3 Tile Architect
With the skill 3, you get a special device that creates a ranged tile. This tile generates one SP every second, and this rate doubles when Nasti uses the skill. Devices also heal the tile by draining their own HP. After the tile reaches fifty SP, it goes through three upgrade levels. The first upgrade gives plus 20% HP and attack to the operator you place on it along with one extra block. The third upgrade stays active even after Nasti leaves the field.
When you activate the skill at Mastery 3, Nasti gains a 160% boost to attack and defense and the tile gains faster SP and HP recovery. You also gain one new device.
With two devices and smart timing, you usually reach the third upgrade at around fifty seven to sixty seconds.
This skill changes how you play the map because it lets you place operators like Ifrit, Wisadel or Exusiai in spots that normally do not exist. The tile can also block or redirect enemies, giving you new paths to control. You can only have one tile per map, which keeps the skill balanced but still extremely powerful.
How to Use Nasti’s Modules for Maximum Power
You should unlock Nasti’s module upgrades as early as possible, especially if you want smoother chaining and stronger device effects within her attack range. Stage 3 is where the module fully changes how she performs, so aim for that as your main goal.
|
Stage |
Key Effect |
|
1 |
HP plus 78, ATK plus 26, DEF plus 25 You gain one extra device and you pay less DP when you activate skills. Skill 1 and Skill 2 cost two DP less, and Skill 3 costs three DP less |
|
2 |
HP plus 102, ATK plus 32, DEF plus 35 Talent 1 improves so the first device you place costs three DP less |
|
3 |
HP plus 145, ATK plus 40, DEF plus 45 Talent 1 becomes stronger and allows devices to chain their effects whenever they stay within each other’s range. |
Recommended Builds and Investment Path
-
E2 should be your first priority since this unlocks Skill 3 and her full talent set.
-
Your main mastery choice is S3 at Mastery 3 because it improves tile setup and attack power.
-
S2 at Mastery 1 is enough for a solid SP burst.
-
You do not need to upgrade S1.
-
A minimum workable build is E2 Level 30 with S3 at Mastery 1.
-
Max trust for the best stat increase.
-
Arknights Nasti fits perfectly inside Rhine Lab squads. She also gives plus twenty five percent base output and plus fifteen percent for Precious Metals in the base.
Promotion Materials You Need
Since Nasti follows the standard six star Supporter promotion line, you must gather materials such as Sugilite, RMA70 24, Bitter T Omicron, D32 Steel and about three hundred thousand LMD. You can farm most of these easily during events released after her banner period.
How to Use Nasti Effectively?
When you expect heavy pressure, you have to place Nasti early. Set down two devices, activate Skill 3 and let the tile start building upgrades while she holds the lane. Once the tile reaches its third upgrade, you can safely retreat her since the tile remains on the field.
This pattern lets you control space, guide enemy movement and place your strongest units in positions that normally do not exist.
Where Nasti Performs Best
-
Story and Event Stages: You can guide enemies into focused kill zones and let your ranged operators take aggressive positions on melee tiles created by Nasti.
-
Integrated Strategies: She gives you mobile high ground that works incredibly well with operators who perform best with wide or global range. Wisadel is one of the strongest partners here.
-
Contingency Contract: Her tile helps you manage skill uptime and gives you safe blocking points in maps where risk is high and chokepoints are dangerous.
-
IS5 and Higher: You can set up Ifrit lanes anywhere. Rhine Lab themed teams benefit even more because of shared tech interactions.
Best Partners for Nasti
|
Role |
Partners |
|
Damage Dealers |
Ifrit, Wisadel and the alternate Exusiai work extremely well with the placement freedom you gain from her tile |
|
Support Units |
Silence becomes especially strong since you can stack Sanctuary up to three thousand six hundred HP. Stainless helps create SP loops with Nasti’s kit |
|
Rhine Lab Operators |
Saria and Ptilopsis offer powerful buffs that fit perfectly with Nasti’s fast paced setups and base bonuses |
What to Avoid: You should not use Nasti on maps where enemies deal heavy Arts damage or where snipers target devices directly, since both situations reduce her value.

What teams pair best with Nasti in Arknights?
The strongest results can be taken when you place Nasti inside a Rhine Lab focused team. A common core includes Nasti with Ifrit or Saria and Ptilopsis.
