Naraka: Bladepoint Matari Guide Build, Skills & Playstyle

Matari is Naraka: Bladepoint's premier stealth assassin. Her signature ability teleports her in any direction — in the air or on the ground — and her ultimate makes her and her entire team invisible. In Solo play she excels at ambushing isolated targets and escaping fights she cannot win. In Trio she provides flanking pressure and clutch invisibility for team rotations. Her ceiling is high, but so is her floor — Silent Flutter combos require timing to convert into kills.

01Matari Overview

Matari's identity is built around unpredictability. Her teleport (Silent Flutter) removes her from the enemy's expected position almost instantly, and her ultimate makes the entire squad invisible for a significant duration. This makes her dangerous against opponents who rely on reaction-time or positional reads — two things that matter a lot in Naraka's counter system.

Her weaknesses are equally clear: she deals no more damage than other heroes when her ability is on cooldown, and she has no self-healing or zone-control. Against heroes with long-range abilities or fast projectiles, she needs to close distance before engaging — and that initial close is her most vulnerable moment.

Matari is rated A-Tier in both Solo and Trio in Season 19. She is not a beginner hero — her value is almost entirely locked behind knowing when to use Silent Flutter and how to follow it with a combo. If you are still learning the counter system, start with Cyra or Temulch and come back to Matari.

02Abilities: Silent Flutter (Main Skill)

Matari's skill is Silent Flutter, which teleports her in the aimed direction whether she is on the ground or in the air. It has a base cooldown of 20 seconds, and using it grants her a 15% attack damage increase for 3 seconds. The attack window is the key — you use Silent Flutter to close distance and then immediately hit your charge attack in that 3-second buff window.

Silent Flutter has three variants you choose between before the match. Understanding all three is essential for adapting to different situations:

• Standard Silent Flutter: Chargeable — hold to charge for a longer teleport distance, tap for a quick short-range blink. The 15% attack buff applies on any version. Best for general use.
• Rapid Flash: No charge option, but Matari gains up to two charges of the ability. This trades range control for frequency — you can blink twice before the cooldown begins. Strong in Solo where escaping a failed engagement is common.
• Retrace Flash: Leaves a mark on the ground that lasts 9 seconds. Tapping the skill again returns Matari to the mark's location — even during active combat. This variant is the most mechanically demanding but gives Matari a pseudo-second-chance in 1v1 fights: engage, place mark, fight, return to mark if losing.

For beginners, start with Standard Silent Flutter. Master the basic engage pattern (blink in, hit charge attack) before committing to the more complex two-charge or mark variants.

03Ultimate: Group Stealth

Matari's ultimate, Group Stealth, resets her Silent Flutter cooldown and grants Matari and all nearby allies stealth for 16 seconds. During stealth:

• While moving, Matari appears as a faint outline to enemies.
• While stationary, she becomes nearly invisible.
• Silent Flutter's range is increased and its cooldown is reduced for the ultimate's duration.
• Allies within range also receive the stealth effect — making this one of the most powerful team-rotation tools in Trio mode.

In Solo, Group Stealth is a powerful escape and reset tool. If a fight is not going your way, activate it and reposition — most opponents cannot track an invisible player well enough to press the advantage. When you re-engage, do it while enemies are still scanning for you.

In Trio, Group Stealth enables coordinated team flanks. Activate before rotating around a group of enemies, let all three players reach a new position simultaneously, then attack before the invisibility expires. Because the stealthy outline is still visible at close range, coordinate with teammates to avoid accidentally walking through the enemy formation.

04Best Glyph Build for Matari

The glyph system in Naraka lets you configure passive bonuses outside of matches using Tae currency. For Matari, the priority is stamina (for more dodge rolls to complement teleport) and skill cooldown reduction (so Silent Flutter is available more often):

• Origin glyphs (red) — Ferocity or Spirit: Ferocity increases your Rage (ultimate charge) accumulation. Spirit boosts stamina recovery. For aggressive Matari players, Ferocity gets your ultimate up faster. For defensive players, Spirit extends your dodge window.
• Lunar glyphs (purple) — Agility: Reduces skill cooldown. This directly shortens the 20-second wait between Silent Flutter uses — invaluable for Matari whose entire kit depends on it.
• Solar glyphs (blue) — Quickness: Reduces skill cooldown as well. Stack Agility and Quickness together for maximum Silent Flutter uptime.
• Omni glyphs (green) — Spirit: Stamina recovery. Matari dashes a lot, and dodging uses stamina — keeping this full means more parry windows and escape options.

A common build for Solo Matari: max Agility (Lunar) + Quickness (Solar) for cooldown, with Spirit (Omni/red) to sustain dodge frequency. In Trio, some players swap one Agility slot for Enragement (increases rage generation) to keep Group Stealth available across multiple team fights.

05Recommended Weapons

Matari's teleport works with any weapon, but some pairings amplify her strengths significantly:

• Dagger (primary recommendation): The Dagger's movement-based combos and Dagger Dash ability synergise with Matari's teleport. You blink in, dash through the opponent, and continue the combo from a new angle — opponents struggle to track your position. The Dagger also covers ground fast, which matters when Matari's teleport is on cooldown.
• Longsword (solid alternative): The most beginner-friendly melee weapon. Its wide horizontal Focus Strike creates a shockwave that covers range even if your teleport lands slightly off-target. A reliable fallback if you are still learning Matari's engage timing.
• Katana: Faster attack speed than the Longsword with less reach. The increased speed complements Silent Flutter's 15% attack buff window, letting you squeeze in more hits during the 3-second boost. Requires more precision to land combos reliably.
• Bow or Musket (ranged secondary): Matari wants to close distance, not fight at range. Carry a ranged weapon primarily for early-game chip damage and to punish retreating enemies — not as a primary damage source.

06Matari Playstyle Tips

• Engage from stealth whenever possible. Silent Flutter has a short animation before the teleport lands. Use it from cover or while behind terrain so the opponent has no time to react before the attack boost window opens.
• Do not use Silent Flutter as a pure escape. It is tempting to blink away the moment a fight goes bad, but Silent Flutter on a 20-second cooldown with no mark or charges means you are then vulnerable for almost half a minute. Assess whether retreating or completing the combo is the better risk.
• Master the air attack combo. One of Matari's strongest engage patterns is: grappling hook to height → Silent Flutter mid-air → charge attack while descending. This delivers a boosted downward strike that is very hard to parry correctly.
• In Trio, save Group Stealth for rotations, not 1v1. The 16-second team stealth is too valuable to spend on a solo skirmish you could resolve with Silent Flutter alone. Coordinate with teammates so all three of you benefit from the repositioning window.
• Watch your stamina. Matari dodges frequently and her combos build on mobility. Running out of stamina mid-fight removes your ability to parry or dodge — check the stamina bar after each teleport sequence.
