currently featured in Identity V.
Contents
Background[edit | edit source]
Although not tall and physically strong, Naib is like most Gurkhas, and the rugged terrain has trained their strong physiques and indomitable spirits. Naib used to be a soldier for the East India Company, but because he believed in the idea of equality for human beings, his dislike of war reached its peak and refused to sell for the British. He then became a free mercenary, but he has long since left his bloodthirsty life after retirement. Perhaps a dangerous game can give him the same experience on the battlefield?

Full Conclusion[edit | edit source]
Fighting with his comrades in battle, they covered him, but he was injured. The mercenary wanted to leave with his comrades. For this, he shot the opposing general in the head. In the military, he was discriminated because of his nationality. He was not treated as a British soldier in all respects, so he decided to retire as a soldier. When he was a mercenary, he was free and his income was much higher than before.
Mercenaries have always had weak comrades, but because their overall power was low, they decided not to fight and chose to retreat. The mercenary survived and recalled that his elbow was severely damaged in the battle.

Tips[edit | edit source]
Playing as
- Even having 4 elbow pads, save them. With 10% increased vaulting speed, you still be able to kite at least 10 seconds. (Don't)
- A Perfect Scenario:
- One Elbow Pad for getting away from hunter. (Early/Mid)
- Two Elbow Pads to get to the rescue. (1 if there are secondary rescuer)
- One Elbow Pad use for late game.
- Have Tide Turner
on the mercenary so the teammate you save can get as far away from the rocket chair as possible. - As his healing speed is slow and the ability to apply damage slower, sometimes in the match only Borrowed Time
can save him. Due to that fact, body block and take hits whenever you can for your teammates. - You do not need to body block when performing the first rescue. Body block the second time rescuing when you are without Tide Turner .
- Broken Windows
is not favorable for Naib, as Tide Turner and Borrowed Time benefit him far more. He does not need the boosts when kiting due to his delayed damage and multiple elbow pads. - Naib is the only character in the game who, at full health, can body-block a hunter's normal attack when the hunter has detention. This can be incredibly useful when your teammate is being chased by the hunter and is close to the exit gate. Joseph is the one exception to this, and can terror shock Naib at any time. To counter this, make sure to not take any risks when going against him, especially when photo world is active and Joseph has presence.
Countering
- One hit for the Naib when he goes for a rescue. One hit is more than nothing - especially when Naib can dash away with no injuries. (Don't expect terror shock on chair that much on high ranks)
- Don't chase Naib in the early game. If you chase him to make him waste elbow pads, you will most likely have several Cipher Machines completed. Even if you get him on the chair, his 30% ability slowing down rocket chair speed will make all machines primed. To go with this, do not camp his rocket chair if you end up chairing him, as you will be there for at least the completion of one to two cipher machines.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- His name, Naib Subedar is a rank in the Indian Army that often serves as a platoon for commanders[12].
- His birthday is on the 23rd of July.
- He is interested and skilled in using melee weapons, fighting, and climbing.
- He hates boars and customers that cause trouble.
- He likes scimitars and moonlit nights.
- The way to achieve Naib's achievement, "Blade Dancer", is to use his elbow pads at least four times when the hunter attacks him within 1 second without being injured.
