Noah — Stats, Skills, Best Teams

Q: Should you pull?

Should you pull?YES — if your roster lacks a real tank that can survive high-tier boss one-shots, Noah is nearly irreplaceable thanks to her invincibility-shield plus massive DEF combo.

Q: Skill Investment Priority

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 1/1/1 → 4/1/4 → 7/1/7 → 10/1/10. Why: Burst (shield+DEF) and Skill 1 (sustained damage reduction) are her two core tank stats; Skill 2 only lowers enemy ATK for 2 seconds, so it's lowest priority.

Review & Analysis

Noah is a Wind Rocket Launcher (RL) Defender from Pilgrim with Burst II, a true team-saving shield. Her Burst, U Mad Bro?, pulls all enemy aggro onto herself while granting the whole team Invincibility for a few seconds plus a huge DEF boost — a clutch tool when the squad is about to wipe. Cruisin' for a Bruisin' lets her proactively taunt and lower a target's ATK when firing during Full Charge, helping control the battlefield before her Burst is ready. This is Gonna Hurt is a passive buff, with a chance to reduce sustained damage taken for the whole team whenever Noah is attacked.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Burst U Mad Bro? (Invincibility plus massive DEF, the core emergency tool) → Cruisin' for a Bruisin' (proactive taunt and enemy ATK reduction) → This is Gonna Hurt (passive, chance-based sustained damage reduction).

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 1/1/1 → 4/1/4 → 7/1/7 → 10/1/10. Why: Burst (shield+DEF) and Skill 1 (sustained damage reduction) are her two core tank stats; Skill 2 only lowers enemy ATK for 2 seconds, so it's lowest priority.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Her burst grants 3s invincibility plus 99% DEF, near-nullifying most boss one-shot mechanics.
A long 10-second taunt, holding aggro far longer than most other Defenders.

Weaknesses

No AoE damage or ATK buff for the squad — a pure tanking role.
Skill 1 only has a 10% chance to trigger on hit, so damage reduction outside burst is unreliable.
