If combos and finesse are your preferred approach to combat, then the always-snacking Nadia Cassel will always have a place on your team in Metal Slug Tactics. She doesn't have the point-and-shoot efficiency of many of her teammates, but given enough time to prepare, her mines and drones will prove to be more than a match for all the firepower the other characters can bring to bear.

Keeping Nadia safe and letting her do her job are a top priority when she's on your team. As long as she has the support she needs, she'll pay you back in spades.

Nadia's Core Abilities - Bots And Electric Mines

Metal Slug Tactics: Nadia Character Guide

Nadia deploys two unique types of gadgets in battle, giving her tactical options unavailable to the rest of the Peregrine Falcons.

Bots

As long as she has the correct Special Actions, Nadia can deploy two different bots; Gunbot and Iron Lizard. Gunbot borrows her handgun to fight remotely, and can place Electric Mines on the battlefield. Iron Lizard can use Magnetic Grab to shuffle units around the battlefield, or detonate with a powerful Self-Destruct explosion.

You can have both Gunbot and Iron Lizard on the field simultaneously, but you can't have more than one copy of each at a time.

When using the bots, particularly Gunbot, it's important to note that they don't have the Synchronization skill. That means that while human squadmates can perform Sync Attacks triggered by bot attacks, the bots themselves cannot make Sync Attacks by any means.

Electric Mines

Many of Nadia's abilities let her deploy Electric Mines, which remain on the battlefield until an enemy steps on them or a tile adjacent to them. There is no limit to the number of Electric Mines that can be on the field at a time, but each tile can only have one Mine.

If Nadia or a bot attempts to deploy an Electric Mine on a space that already has one, nothing happens.

Enemies that trigger an Electric Mine suffer four damage. If a hapless foe triggers multiple Mines at once, they take damage from all of them.

Most Electric Mines will be placed by the Hypertension Passive, which Nadia has in all of her loadouts. It allows both Nadia and her bots to place an Electric Mine on their current tile any time they trigger or participate in a Sync Attack.

Nadia gains Energize for the rest of the turn, which grants her a Bonus Action if she uses a Special Action while on or adjacent to an Electric Mine. Nadia gains Dynamize for the rest of the turn, which grants her a Bonus Move is she performs any type of action while on or adjacent to an Electric Mine.

Nadia Classic Loadout

Metal Slug Tactics: Nadia Character Guide

Nadia uses a pretty basic set of gear for her standard loadout; a no-frills Handgun and Cross Launcher. That's because in most cases, she'll be using her Special Actions instead to fill the battlefield with her destructive toys.

Once Nadia is in position, have her teammates trigger a Sync Attack so that she can deploy an Electric Mine via Hypertension, then use Nadia's action to summon Gunbot and place more Mines. If Gunbot survives the enemy turn, you can have them Self-Destruct before Nadia takes her turn to repeat the process with no drawbacks.

Recommended Passives

  • Taser Mines and Caltrops cause the Electric Mines to inflict less damage, but cause debuffs to their victims. It's best to choose one or the other, as both will cause the Mines to deal zero damage.
  • Hidden Bomb lets Nadia plant a Mine at the location of her first defeated enemy each turn, adding to the size of your minefield.
  • Tesla Ammo lets Nadia fire the Cross Launcher without spending ammo, as long as she's near an Electric Mine, which helps make up for the weapon's low capacity.
  • Photon Swap and Aftershock both give Gunbot something extra to do before Self-Destructing, adding to the little drone's efficiency.

Overload Loadout

Metal Slug Tactics: Nadia Character Guide

This loadout has a lot of damage potential, provided that Nadia and Gunbot always have an Electric Mine nearby to power their weapons. Both the Zapper Handgun and Electrifier Laser have the Overload ability, which allows the user to destroy a nearby Electric Mine to increase the damage of the weapon by a whopping four.

This can be especially devastating with the Electrifier, which hits every target in a line thanks to being a laser weapon.

Recommended Passives

  • Photon Swap makes Gunbot especially deadly, as it guarantees they'll be able to Overload their borrowed Zapper as long as there's a Mine on the map.
  • First Detonation does the same for Nadia, deploying an Electric Mine to her position after her first move of the battle.
  • Hidden Bomb helps place more Mines, making sure you're never without a good firing position.
  • Dynamize grants Nadia a Bonus Move after she fires an Overloaded shot, giving her a chance to get to cover and letting you take riskier shots.

Explosive Duo Loadout

Metal Slug Tactics: Nadia Character Guide

The Explosive Duo loadout has Nadia's most powerful Handgun, a four-damage beast that enhances Sync Attacks with the Impressive trait built in. It's meant to be combined with Iron Lizard, who can place enemies right in Nadia's sights, but if you unlock Gunbot as well you can let them borrow the pistol and wreak some havoc with a more standard Nadia strategy.

Nadia's special weapon in Explosive Duo is the Pulsar, a Shotgun with a very short range but a potential damage of eight thanks to Overload. As with the previous loadout, always make sure to have an Electric Mine nearby when firing this high-tech boomstick.

Recommended Passives

  • Tesla Ammo prevents the Pulsar from consuming ammo on shots where it benefits from Overload.
  • Team Player lets Nadia benefit from the increased number of Synchronizations she'll be participating in with this build, letting her use more advanced Special Actions more frequently.
  • Hidden Bomb places Mines on defeated enemies, potentially seeding defended positions with shocking surprises.

Ablaze Loadout

Metal Slug Tactics: Nadia Character Guide

Ablaze offers a lot of utility compared to Nadia's other loadouts, which is really saying a lot. The Burning Pistol places fire tiles around Nadia or Gunbot whenever they score a frag with it, adding even more dangerous terrain for enemies to negotiate beyond what you manage with the Electric Mines. The Glitter Bomb is a Grenade Launcher with a wide, loose AoE that prevents units hit from using Cover.

Recommended Passives

  • Caltrops causes Electric Mines to apply Slow status, potentially forcing enemies to walk into flames or other Mines for lack of any other options.
  • Aftershock and Hidden Bomb further restrict enemy movements by adding to the number of Electric Mines on the field at any given time.
  • Energize gives Nadia the chance to use more Special Actions as long as she's near a Mine, letting her bring her full power to bear.
