Choose the best-suited Nikke for your squad

There are several factors included in the task of choosing the best Nikke for your squad. All are explained to you in detail:

1. Understanding Burst type to select the best Nikke

When choosing the best Nikke for your squad, the first factor to consider is the burst type of your Nikke. There are three types of burst for the Nikke:

1. Burst I
2. Burst II
3. Burst III

Each of the Nikke will have any one of the three types of burst in the game. Burst I and II Nikke are usually Defenders or Supporters, and Burst III are mostly Attackers. Your characters can use their burst skills once the burst meter is filled.

However, you can only use burst skills in particular phases. For example, you will have to use the Burst I unit’s ability first, and then you will have access to use the Burst II ability. After you have used the Burst II ability, you will get access to use the Burst III ability, and once you use that too, you will go into the full burst mode.

So you will have to select all three burst skills to progress through the battle. Not using the previous type of burst ability will make you unable to use the following type. Each burst ability will have either 20 second or a 40-second cooldown. It is advised to keep a combination of shorter and longer cooldown Nikke so you can complete the burst phase more often.

We would suggest the combination of 1 burst I Nikke, 2 burst II Nikke and 2 burst III Nike.

2. Understanding Weapons

Goddess of Victory: NIKKE has over 60 different Nikke for the players to select for their squad. The players must choose a squad of 5 Nikke before going on a mission. Selecting the best-suited Nikke for a mission is essential since each mission will have different types of enemies and has to be dealt with various weapons. There are six types of weapons in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE:

• Assault Rifle: Assault rifles are a decent choice for fighting against enemies in close and medium-range fights. It has a range of 25 to 45 in the game with a decent reloading time and it also deals good damage to the enemy units.
• Sub-Machine Gun: Like shotguns, Submachine guns are also used against enemies at close distances. They have considerably decent damage and a higher fire rate with a range of 15 to 36.
• Shotgun: Shotguns are best used against enemies at close range. They have a 0 to 25 range and cannot deal damage to enemies outside this range. They have a decent reload time but low magazine capacity.
• Sniper Rifle: Sniper rifles are a good choice for engaging with enemies at long range. They have a range of 45 to 100 but have to be charged before firing a shot. However, sniper rifles have higher reloading time and less magazine capacity.
• Rocket Launcher: Rocket Launchers can deal damage to enemies at any range. They have high damage stats but need to be reloaded after every shot.
• Minigun: Miniguns or Gatlin Guns can be used against enemies in medium or long range. They have a range of 35 to 55 with the highest magazine capacity in the game. However, they lack damage and have a longer reload time.

Each Nikke can use only one of the above six weapons, so it is essential to select Nikke for your squad, considering what weapon they use and which enemies you will be fighting. However, you must not choose all Nikke with the same type of weapon just because it matches the mission. Various weapons in the squad are also essential to battle against enemies efficiently.

3. Understanding the class, rarity, environment and abilities of Nikke

There are also three classes of Nikke for the players to choose from for their squad. A balance of all these three classes is important when you will be picking the Nikke for your squad:

• Attackers: These units have the best damage stats in the game and can play as the tank for their team. They can take on the enemy bosses easily in the later phase of the game with their abilities.
• Defenders: Defenders are the class of Nikke who absorbs the damage for their team. They have higher defensive and HP stats which gives them the ability to defend their team from enemy damage.
• Supporters: As their name suggests, Supporters are the ones who provide support to their teammates during the battle. They have comparatively lower attacking stats but their healing or buff abilities make them a viable pick for your squad.

There are three rarity ratings for the Nikke in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE: SSR, SR and R. SSR are the strongest Nikke while R-rated Nikke is the most basic character the players will acquire by default at the start.

Each Nikke excels in a certain environment and can deal extra damage while fighting in its own type of environment. So it is advised to choose Nikke not only according to the enemies, but also the environment you will be fighting in. This will grant you 10% extra damage and possibly a better outcome in the game. The five types of environments are:

1. Fire
2. Water
3. Wind
4. Electric
5. Iron

All Nikke also has certain unique skills:

• Active skills (Must be cast manually)
• Passive skills (Cast automatically)
• Burst skill (Must be cast manually)
