INagu is the base version of the Blade Trickster unit in Anime Crusaders. This simple form introduces players to his sword-based combat style without the advanced mechanics of his evolved version. While not as flashy or powerful as Blade Trickster, Nagu remains a solid and balanced melee unit, making him a dependable choice for early- to mid-game players.
Rarity and Acquisition
- Rarity: Rare or Epic (depending on summon pool rotation)
- Availability: Obtainable through standard summon banners
- Accessibility: Much easier to obtain than Nagu (Blade Trickster), which makes him suitable for beginners looking to expand their roster
Abilities and Skills
The simple Nagu has a straightforward, melee-focused skillset:
- Quick Slash – A fast sword strike that deals single-target damage
- Blade Dash – Short-range attack that hits multiple enemies in a line
- Trickster’s Instinct – Passive buff that increases his attack speed slightly after a few waves
While his abilities are not highly complex, they provide a good mix of single-target and light AoE damage.

Strengths
- Easy to obtain and upgrade
- Decent early-game damage for both mobs and mini-bosses
- Attack speed buff allows him to scale slightly during battles
- Beginner-friendly and useful in story progression
Weaknesses
- Limited overall damage compared to evolved Nagu (Blade Trickster)
- Lacks powerful crowd control or team utility
- Falls off in late-game and Infinite mode compared to higher-tier units
- Outclassed by Mythic and Secret units fairly quickly
Best Uses
- Story Mode: Reliable for progressing through early and mid-game stages
- Early Infinite Mode: Can help clear lower waves with his quick attacks
- Beginner Raids: Works well as a supplementary DPS but not a main carry
Tier Placement
- Early Game: A-Tier
- Late Game: C-Tier
- Reason: Nagu is dependable in the early stages but struggles to keep up with the scaling of higher-level enemies later on.
