The Raider Naki is a Dominion special unit, known for tricky plays and its love of Soulstones: every conquest with Raiders steals Soulstones from the defender.
Strengths and weaknesses
As an Infernal unit, the Raider Naki gets the effectiveness bonus against Primal units, in attack and in defense:
Forest Spirit
Grass Spirit
Guard Naki
Elder Spirit
Nyxi
Astral units get the same bonus against it:
Stealing Soulstones
When an attack with Raider Naki conquers a player's field, the Raiders steal Soulstones: one per 10 Raiders, up to four per 10 with the core upgrades. You can never steal more than the defender has.
Skill tree
In Dominion, special units are unlocked in the second stage of the runes: it needs rune level 50, and choosing a special unit costs
2'500'000Soulstones. That is far more than a normal round pays out, so special units are a rare sight. Each special unit has its own skill tree: three core upgrades, then two of four abilities (picking one locks its neighbour), then its hero.
