Nikke: Goddess of Victory is sweeping the gacha community between its graphics and addictive gameplay. But of course, you’ve got to have some top tier units to stay competitive.
Whether you want an easy time or you just want to flex on your friends with your pulls, here’s a character tier list to get your unit priorities straight.
S-Tier Characters
Scarlet
- Attack: 25,554
- Defense: 4,164
- HP: 583,734
Scarlet is designed specifically to deal as much damage as possible, especially sustained and burst types of damage.
She can also increase her own attack power, which is already high by default, and her critical hit rate with critical damage.
Her best skill is Scarlet Flash, which increases her critical rate and damage once her HP total drops below 50%.
Noah
- Attack: 17,059
- Defense: 4,900
- HP: 711,171
No team can sustain too much damage without the support of a tank character, and Noah is the best tank in the game so far.
She not only has massive HP pool, but she can also boost the defenses of her allies, and debuff all of enemy’s attacks as well.
Her best skill is U Mad Bro?, which taunts all enemies and makes all her allies immune to damage for a short period of time.
Volume
- Attack: 25,554
- Defense: 3,633
- HP: 583,734
Volume is another great attacker, who can increase her own damage, but also help her team by boosting its critical hit rate.
In order to effectively use Volume, players need to consider two of her skills, such as Drop the Beat and Turn Up the Volume, in a synergy.
Once both are used, all your allies get critical hit chance and critical damage boost, as well as burst skill cooldown time reduction.
A-Tier Characters
Novel
- Attack: 17,059
- Defense: 4,364
- HP: 711,171
Novel is another great tank and a good alternative to Noah. She also has support abilities that buff the attacking power of her allies, which is always useful.
Her best ability is Case Closed, which increases both attack and defenses of her allies, stacking Cornucopia defensive skill up to its maximum.
Novel’s only drawback is that her SMG weapon has a shorter range than that of Noah’s weapon.
Poli
- Attack: 17,059
- Defense: 4,827
- HP: 711,171
Poli is definitely a unique defender, as she can take a percentage of her ally’s damage onto herself, if that ally has low HP. This is possible due to her That’s a Good Boy ability.
But her best skill is Poli’s Defense Line, which creates a massive shield that protects all her allies, albeit the cooldown on it is pretty steep at 40 seconds.
Julia
- Attack: 25,554
- Defense: 4,164
- HP: 583,734
Julia’s burst damage is quite amazing, but it needs to be combined with a full stack of her Crescendo ability to give really impressive results.
You can also use her Climax ability that hits five enemies at once with 500% attacking power, but once again with a longer cooldown.
B-Tier Characters
Brid
- Attack: 25,554
- Defense: 4,164
- HP: 583,734
Brid is very similar in design to Julia, whose burst damage can be well utilized, but there is a condition that is quite hard to satisfy in order to maintain the necessary amount of damage: Brid needs to stay at full health.
As for her skills, Leak and AZX are the best for specifically targeting enemies with the highest attack and HP.
Guillotine
- Attack: 25,554
- Defense: 3,539
- HP: 583,734
Guillotine is the opposite of Brid, as she gets stronger the more HP she loses. Note that Guillotine has no skills that would heal her up in case her HP drops too low.
Also, when she uses her Shroud of Darkness ability, you will see some significant damage increase only after her HP total falls below 70%.
Signal
- Attack: 25,554
- Defense: 3,633
- HP: 583,734
If none of the above units seem cool to you, and you don’t mind sacrificing a bit of damage for self-heal ability, then Signal is the right choice.
Her Waiting for Signal passive skill automatically recovers her own lost HP, but only when a full burst damage is activated.
Those are the best characters in Nikke: Goddess of Victory, and stay tuned for more.
