Pursuitcore Nyan is a free starter User in TamaCorp's asymmetrical Roblox survival game, serving as the team's primary targeted healer. Armed with her signature Pop-Tart abilities, Nyan pairs single-target health restoration with high-value movement speed boosts to bail allies out of deadly chases. While her healing output is capped per activation, her ability to reset damage thresholds and dodge incoming lethal hits makes her one of the most impactful support Users on any team.
Nyan Base Stats and Overview
Nyan (full name Nyan Prismheart) belongs to the starting trio alongside Dante and Mikaela. Classified in-game as a LOLCAT, she carries a standard User health pool but relies on her agility and defensive invulnerability frames to stay alive.

Nyan Abilities Breakdown
Nyan possesses two active abilities and a dedicated passive enhancement during Last Man Standing (LMS). Understanding the exact timings and limitations of her toolkit is essential to maximizing her value in a match.
Tartshare (Active Skill - Q Key)
Activating Tartshare causes Nyan to consume a Pop-Tart, generating an aura radius around her for 10 seconds. The ability has a 28-second cooldown.
- Tether Mechanics: The first teammate to step inside the aura connects via a visual beam, expanding the radius. Only one ally can be tethered at a time. If the tethered player steps outside the radius, the tether drops and the circle reverts to its baseline size, though the ability remains active for the remaining duration.
- Regeneration: Tartshare restores 0.4 HP every tenth of a second (4 HP per second) up to a maximum cap of 25 HP healed per activation.
- Speed Boost: Both Nyan and the tethered ally receive a +7 run speed boost, lifting their sprint speed from 30 up to 37 studs per second.
- Restrictions: Nyan cannot heal herself because she has built an in-lore tolerance to Pop-Tarts. Tartshare cannot heal duplicate Nyans (though two Nyans tethered together still receive the +7 speed boost). Healing decreases slightly by 0.035 HP per tenth of a second for each duplicate Nyan in the match. Additionally, Tartshare does not stack with another Nyan's Tartshare or with Fukatsuki's Statue healing aura.
Slide (Active Skill - E Key)
Slide serves as Nyan's primary self-defense tool on a 16-second cooldown.
- Invulnerability: Nyan slides forward for 1 second, gaining complete invulnerability frames (i-frames) for the entire slide duration.
- Movement Mechanics: The slide propels Nyan in the direction her character model is facing with an initial high burst of speed that decelerates into a near-complete stop.
- Steering Limitations: Players cannot steer or turn mid-slide. While colliding with a wall stops her forward travel, it does not prematurely cancel the ability or her i-frames.
- Hazard Utility: Because the i-frames are active throughout the full second, Nyan can safely slide through environmental hazards and trigger mines without taking damage.
Last Man Standing (LMS) - Tart Boost
When Nyan is the last surviving User alive, Tartshare automatically converts into Tart Boost.
- Instead of generating a healing aura for teammates, activating the ability grants Nyan an immediate personal 5-second speed boost (+7 run speed).
- Combined with Slide, Tart Boost allows a solo Nyan to outpace Terminators and rotate across escape routes during end-game standoffs.
Strategy and Damage Threshold Healing
While 25 HP may appear modest on paper, community testing shows that Tartshare functions primarily as a tool to alter Terminator damage thresholds rather than purely top off health bars.
- Breaking Hit Thresholds: Many Terminators deal 35 base damage on standard M1 attacks, requiring three hits to down a full 100 HP User. A teammate who takes two hits drops to 30 HP, putting them one strike away from death. Restoring 25 HP elevates their total to 55 HP, forcing the Terminator to land two additional hits instead of one.
- The Frontline Support Role: Because Tartshare raises both players' run speeds to 37 studs per second—faster than the default 36 run speed shared by most Terminators—Nyan functions best by running directly into a chase right after a teammate takes a hit or an enemy misses an ability.
- Decisive Pathing: A frequent mistake among newer Nyan players is hesitating or stopping to maintain the tether beam. The most effective approach is to commit to a forward escape path. By sprinting decisively toward safe loops or teammates, Nyan pulls her patient along with the speed boost while gaining maximum distance.
- Post-Revive Prioritization: Whenever an ally is revived from a downed state, they return at low health. Popping Tartshare immediately after a successful revive provides instant regeneration and safe disengage speed.
Team Synergies and Surviving as Nyan
Because Nyan cannot heal herself and lacks offensive stuns, her survival depends heavily on positioning and team coordination.
Synergy with Fukatsuki
Fukatsuki is the only other User in Pursuitcore capable of healing. Because Nyan cannot benefit from Tartshare, Fukatsuki's Statue ability is the only method for Nyan to recover lost health. The game features an adjusted mutual interaction where Tartshare heals Fukatsuki at 75% efficiency, and Statue heals Nyan at 75% efficiency. Keeping Fukatsuki alive guarantees Nyan has a reliable recovery option.
Synergy with Sentinels
Sentinels like Dante, Vinnie, and Tac9 provide the crowd control Nyan lacks. When Sentinels peel Terminators away with stuns, Nyan can safely tether the injured fighter, heal them to safe thresholds, and reposition. In return, Sentinels prevent Terminators from cornering Nyan during her ability cooldowns.
Countering Terminator Pressure
Terminators frequently target Nyan first to prevent her from wiping away their damage progress. Surviving aggressive opponents requires calculated defensive habits:
- Save Slide for High-Damage Windups: Use Slide's 1-second i-frame window to nullify heavily telegraphed, punishing moves such as Party Pony's Party Hard dash or Jack Noir's Behead.
- Anticipate Grapples: Slide can evade or break the timing of ranged grapples, such as Captain Limewire's hook or Jack Noir's tentacles, if activated right before impact.
- Respect High-Speed Pursuers: Terminators like Dot X boast base speeds capable of matching or outpacing boosted Users. When facing high-speed killers, use Slide to navigate through obstacles or reach elevated drops rather than sliding in a straight line out in the open.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Nyan heal herself in Pursuitcore?
No. Nyan cannot heal herself with Tartshare because her character has built a tolerance to the effects of Pop-Tarts. Her only direct source of healing during matches comes from Fukatsuki's Statue ability.
Can two Nyans heal each other?
Two Nyans cannot heal each other with Tartshare, and their healing output does not stack on the same target. However, if one Nyan tethers another Nyan, both players still receive the +7 speed boost for the duration of the ability.
What happens to Tartshare during Last Man Standing?
During Last Man Standing (LMS), Tartshare transforms into Tart Boost. It becomes a solo ability that gives Nyan an instant 5-second personal speed boost (+7 run speed) to help her outrun the Terminator and reach the escape portal.
Can Slide's direction be changed while moving?
No. Slide locks Nyan into the direction her character model was facing at the moment of activation. You cannot steer or turn mid-slide, so you must line up your path before pressing the ability key to avoid crashing into dead ends.
