Score updated: Nov 3, 2026

Overall Hero Rating

How scoring works
3.24 / 10 Rank 101

Useful in specialised war teams, but difficult setup and weak wave clearing limit broader investment.

Guild Raid 1.0 / 10

A retracted ice-synergy proposal leaves little supported raid utility, while evidence from other modes does not establish an effective boss role.

Guild War 9.0 / 10

Defenses featuring Njal hold in 39.2% of Meds Up battles across equally weighted battlefields, with an established attacking Meta bonus.

Horde 1.5 / 10

Ice dependent damage needs extensive setup, while low clearing reliability and limited sustain make Njal a weak general wave choice.

Popularity 1.48 / 10

Planner records show 721 players at Gold I or higher, 63 at Diamond I or higher and 7 at Adamantine II or higher. Five equally weighted milestones determine this investment-based Popularity score.
