- The Naja is the sniper of the alien family. They have three specializations. Tip The Scales is what to go for when you want to alleviate the weaknesses that plague snipers. It lets the Naja be more mobile, fight at closer ranges and punish pesky robots. The Basilisk tree is a hard-hitting long range skill set for a sniper and generally rewards holding a position rather than moving ground. To round things off, Spitter is an overwatch tree with some exotic options, such as using the Poison Spit ability as a self-buff rather than an offensive technique.

- At Squaddie rank, the Naja has Squadsight, Bind And Crush, Poison Spit, Parkour and Molt. They are also immune to poison. Unlike most snipers, the Naja does not carry a pistol. The Tip The Scales tree is your best bet if you don't want to have to babysit the Naja, otherwise you can still rely on Bind And Crush to mess up a Stun Lancer. Don't rule out retreating.

- Much like LWOTC's Sharpshooter, the LCPL rank is crucial. All of the abilities at that rank are strong picks, and the one you take will play a big part in defining the Naja's role.

- Abilities such as No Scope and Avenger will let the Naja fight even while on the move. Remember to also make use of the wall climb granted by Parkour; any Naja build will benefit greatly from high ground.

- If built just the right way, Najas can punish enemy robots at range harder than any of the other aliens can thanks to abilities like HEAT Ammo, Anatomy and Alpha Mike Foxtrot.

- Najas can equip and throw grenades.
