Queen’s Blood, the addictive card game within Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, can be simple to learn but surprisingly tricky to master. As you climb the ranks, you’ll face increasingly skilled opponents like Navalan, a formidable card shark who blocks your path to further promotion. Let’s break down his strategy and how to build a winning deck.
Navalan’s Playstyle
Navalan, being rank 5, is a tough customer. His main strategy focuses on boosting the power of his cards as they’re played from his hand. This means weaker cards can quickly turn into heavy hitters if you’re not careful. He also packs a few high-power cards to round out his deck.

Building Your Deck: Countermeasures
To take Navalan down, you’ll need a deck that can:
- Prevent Power Boosts: Cards with stun effects or the ability to move enemy cards will stop Navalan from getting those power-ups while disrupting his play.
- Handle High-Power Threats: You’ll need some hard-hitting cards of your own to take down his beefier forces like the Ogre and Zemzellet.
- Versatility: A mix of low, mid, and high-power cards gives you flexibility to respond to different situations.
Sample Deck Suggestion
This deck is a good starting point – feel free to experiment and adapt based on the cards you have:
- Security Officer: Great for stalling out Navalan’s heavy hitters.
- Cactuar: Don’t underestimate this prickly friend! Its ability to move cards can disrupt Navalan’s boosting strategy
- Mandragora: Can potentially take out one of his weaker cards before it gets boosted.
- Fleetwing: Use this to reposition boosted cards, forcing Navalan to waste turns.
- Flametropper: Solid mid-range option to deal with threats.
- Posh Chocobo: Moves enemy cards, messing up Navalan’s careful placement.
- Ogre: Can go toe-to-toe with Navalan’s own Ogre.
- Zemzellet: Useful for taking out boosted cards.
- Midgardsormr: Your powerhouse, perfect for finishing off high-power enemies.
Think about where you play your cards. Can you block a powerful attack or snag an important location? If it means taking down a boosted threat, sacrificing a weaker card might be the right play. Navalan’s deck is strong, but he’s not unbeatable! Keep a cool head and focus on countering his moves.
Final Words
Defeating Navalan is a satisfying achievement in Queen’s Blood! It’ll earn you a promotion and unlock the Bagnadrana card (Cost 3, Power 2), which features a useful power-boosting ability of its own.
Remember, Queen’s Blood is part luck and part strategy. Don’t get discouraged if it takes a few tries, and experiment with this deck to find what works best for you!
