Build

NIKKE goddess of victory harmony cube

Cube: Resilience, Bastion, or Quantum. Whatever you have with an empty slot is good. Quantum is a good cube for extra burst generation on support units like Novel.

OL Gear: Other than max ammo capacity, the rest of the lines can be whatever you get since she doesn’t deal that much damage. Hit rate, ATK and elemental damage are always welcomed stats.


✅ Pros

  • Increase damage taken debuff on enemies is the strongest damage buff you can get
  • Small defense shred on enemies that is fairly consistent

❌ Cons

  • Maximum investment into Burst is mandatory, especially for competitive content
  • Outside of her Burst, her actual buffs are non-existent or extremely weak overall
  • Meant to be used on boss encounters to maximize damage in a single burst

Extra notes

Decent single target debuffer (Increased damage taken debuff). Fairly weak kit outside the debuff
