Moran build & priority
Skill priority
| Skill 1 | Skill 2 | Burst |

Best harmony cube
Quantum or Resilience. Avoid cubes that increase ammunition because skill 2 procs on last bullet.
Stat priority
Defender unit, so doesn’t really matter what stats you get on her gear. Not really recommended investing unless you play NIKKE only for PVP. Avoid max ammunition.

Character traits
Review
Noise at home is finally here and with Moran the underworld queen’s squad is finally complete. Sadly, like the other units in her squad, she’s quite underwhelming and a unit that even whales have decided to skip or get just one copy.
Let’s talk first about her kit, then team compositions and what possible uses Moran could have for PVE in the current meta of NIKKE.
Skill 1 gives her defense the more HP she loses, which is a double-edged sword but makes her really tanky. However, take into consideration that DEF isn’t a good stat thanks to the damage formula in NIKKE.
Skill 2 is a taunt that procs on the last bullet of the magazine, making team compositions even harder since you have to avoid most meta units. Even if this taunt doesn’t have 100% uptime, you can control it quite easily since its final bullet fired.
The second part of this skill is probably the only thing that makes Moran kinda usable, increasing max HP when her own HP falls below 20%, having a good synergy with skill 1 and the defense UP. This max hp increase lasts only for 3 seconds and activates once per battle with three different %.
Three full rotations is more than enough for PVP and simple PVE content but will fall short when we talk about both union and solo raids. Sadly, a 3-second buff like this is going to be used more for healing rather than to increase damage for units like 2B since the timing is hard to control opposite to the taunt itself.
Lastly, her burst skill works similar to Laplace, transforming her weapon and making Moran not being able to take cover while this burst is active. The damage of this burst is decent but remember that this is a defender unit without any offensive buffs on her kit and 40-second cooldown, making it hard to justify investing in this skill.
Team composition
40-second cooldown on her burst and needing to avoid max ammunition units, it’s really hard to find a place and team for Moran. Right now, your best option would be a support for 2B or Anis: Sparkling Summer.
Should you reroll for Moran?
Not really. A PVP unit that even in that game mode has trouble finding a place because the current meta is burst first, ask questions later.
