Najd is an extremely powerful Rushdown Character. Her high meterless damage combined with her rekkas, counters and command grabs makes her an immediate threat whenever she is on screen. Her most powerful move, Retribution of the Unknown, acts as a drop kick that can be charged for more damage and combo opportunities. This is even boosted in KOF XV, where it can be leveled up for even more damage with her new command grab Anticipated Power.
However she does have her weaknesses. She has no reversal moves outside of her Supers, and in KOF XV, isn't really effective without two bars. Additionally, in KOF XV, she no longer has her counters.
