Support our contentNIKKE introduces new favorite items every 6-ish months and while some of them are pretty good, sometimes they miss the mark and release treasures that are worse than units from 2022.
So let’s talk about priority for treasures and which ones are worth investing.
This is not a guide explaining the doll system, if you need help with that, check our Collectible & favorite items guide.
Meta

Helm (Treasure)
Water Sniper Rifle Attacker Burst 3ElysionCube: Bastion is the best cube for her since if you go for the treasure, she's highly invested.
Overload: Usual DPS build; Elemental DMG and ATK take priority. Charge speed is really good too depending how many rocks you are willing to use. A line of ammo is nice.
- Best synergy with characters that proc their skills when they are healed (like Crown)
- Best (at the time of her release) burst generation in the game. Makes no sense how good Shift Up decided to make this treasure
- Can be used as an offburst just for the buffs, heals and extra burst generation OR you can use her as your main Water DPS. Incredible damage on elemental content
- Like all treasures, pretty expensive to build and fully invest considering you need gear, skills and the doll itself
Highest priority for everyone who cares about meta is Helm.
Better burst generation for the team, permanent attack damage buff, heals and great elemental damage for enemies weak to water.
This is by far the best treasure Shift Up has done.
Good (but situational)

Drake (Treasure)
Fire Shotgun Attacker Burst 3MissilisCube: Resilience cube for faster reload.
Overload: Elemental DMG and ATK if you are building her as a damage dealer. If you only want to use her as a support for shotgun teams, you can just get max ammo capacity and hit rate as extra lines.
- Incredible buffer for shotgun teams that can dish out good damage at the same time
- Cheap to build if you want to use her as a support
- Staple unit for both shotgun teams and fire elemental content thanks to her treasure
- Like all treasures, pretty expensive to build and fully invest considering you need gear, skills and the doll itself

Miranda (Treasure)
Fire SMG Supporter Burst 1ElysionCube: SMG units benefit from Bastion even at low investment. Quantum it's also a good option if you need more burst generation.
Overload: Max ammo capacity and hit rate are good lines. You don't really care what lines she gets since she will work out of the box.
- Perfect support for one-shot teams with units like Snow White and Maxwell
- Cheaper to build than the other treasures since you only need to focus on 2 skills and it doesn't matter what lines she gets on her OL
- Like all treasures, pretty expensive to build and fully invest considering you need gear, skills and the doll itself
- Depending on your playstyle fishing for crits can be seen as a negative or a positive
The treasures in this category are consistently used in raids and even some bosses for campaign.
Drake has become a staple for shotgun teams. She’s also a nice buffer and her damage was increased thanks to the treasure.
Miranda is used on crit damage oriented teams, be it for one-shot teams with Snow White or even normal DPS teams with Rapi Red Hood.

Diesel (Treasure)
Wind Machine Gun Defender Burst 2ElysionCube: Like all machine guns; Bastion. Unless you are super unlucky with overload stats and get no max ammunition, in that case run Resilience.
Overload: MG tank / support. Outside of getting max ammo capacity, you literally don’t care what she gets.
- Pierce buffers are always welcome since a lot of the meta units benefit from that
- Taunt with good uptime and she will keep herself alive as long as you burst with her
- Like all treasures, pretty expensive to build and fully invest considering you need gear, skills and the doll itself
- Underwhelming kit even with a treasure considering the price to build them

Exia (Treasure)
Electric Sniper Rifle Supporter Burst 1TetraCube: Resilience for better reloads. Avoid using Bastion or Wingman.
Overload: ATK and elemental damage take priority. Charge speed and damage for filler lines. Avoid getting max ammo capacity.
- Increases damage taken by almost 20% on burst, increasing her usability on bosses for elemental teams
- Not only hits hard herself, but enables electric units to hit harder thanks to her Skill 2 when fully stacked
- Like all treasures, expensive to build
×
Frima (Treasure)
Iron Sniper Rifle Supporter Burst 1TetraCube: Adjutant will help her skills a lot. If not levelled up, Resilience it's a good pick.
Overload: Max ammo capacity and charge speed are priority. You'll have an easier time maintaining her buffs.
- Like all treasures, pretty expensive to build and fully invest considering you need gear, skills and the doll itself
- Underwhelming kit even with a treasure considering the price to build them

Laplace (Treasure)
Iron Rocket Launcher Attacker Burst 3MissilisCube: Resilience for faster reload.
Overload: Usual DPS build; Elemental DMG and ATK take priority. Charge speed is really good too depending how many rocks you are willing to use. A line of ammo is nice.
- True damage finally gets some usage. If you pair her with the Frima treasure, Laplace has amazing damage (but way too expensive)
- Like all treasures, pretty expensive to build and fully invest considering you need gear, skills and the doll itself
- Can't cover during her burst, making her an easy target depending on the boss mechanics

Viper (Treasure)
Water Shotgun Attacker Burst 2TetraCube: Resilience cube for faster reload. If you get enough max ammo lines, you can also use Bastion.
Overload: Elemental DMG and ATK take priority as usual. Filler lines can be max ammo capacity and hit rate.
- Re-enter burst can be seen as a positive or negative depending on what characters you have invested
- Like all treasures, pretty expensive to build and fully invest considering you need gear, skills and the doll itself
- Skill 2 has really low value considering how expensive it is. You can even leave that at level 1 if you want.
Treasures in this category are barely used even for raids or elemental content.
They are a buff in contrast to the original unit, but not enough to make a difference in the usage they get.
Not recommended to build unless waifu or you have one of those units with a lot of dupes.
Milk (the worst)

Milk (Treasure)
Water Sniper Rifle Attacker Burst 1Tetra- Like all treasures, pretty expensive to build and fully invest considering you need gear, skills and the doll itself
- Underwhelming kit even with a treasure considering the price to build them
- Burst cooldown reduction so bad you are better off using Sakura
Shift Up cooked one of the biggest pieces of trash I’ve seen in a while.
While her heals are an improvement over the base version, her CDR is so bad you are better off using Sakura instead as an off burst unit.
