Skill 1: Meditation
Activates when entering Burst Stage 1. Affects self when MP is 0.
MP recovers by 1. MP can be accumulated up to a maximum of 12. All accumulated MP is consumed when using Burst Skill.
Activates when entering Full Burst. Affects self when MP is above 1.
MP replenishes by 1 MP can be accumulated up to a maximum of 12. All accumulated MP is consumed when using Burst Skill.
Activates when attacking with Full Charge for 6 time(s).Affects self.
Max HP ▲ 6.34% without restoring HP for 15 sec, stacks up to I0 time(s)
Maiden: Ice Rose has a simple gimmick, Maiden gains 2 MP for every full burst that she starts with 0 MP. If Maiden already has MP, stacks will increase by 1 per full burst. MP can stack up to 12 times. However, this isn’t recommended to do as her skill 2 wants Maiden to burst often. But, if you reallllyy wanted to, can produce some really big damage numbers at the end of boss fights if the Commander stacks MP until the end
This tech can be beneficial if there are powerful enough electric DPS’s in the team to compensate for her Auto Attack DPS loss in the future.
It takes Maiden around 82s~ + reload time to fully stack her HP buffs.
Skill 2: Blessings Upon You

Damage as strong element ▲ 40.9% for I0 sec.
ATK ▲ 20.9% of caster’s ATK for I0 sec.
Activates when MP is used. Affects self.
Damage as strong element ▲ 31.68% for 10 sec
ATK ▲ 3.2% of caster’s final Max HP for I0 sec.
Activates when attacking with Full Charge for 1 time(s). Affects 1 enemy unit(s) nearest to the crosshair.
Deals 547.62% of final ATK as damage
Maiden: Ice Rose has a rare buff that only one other Nikke can give, and that is damage against strong element. This buff alone makes her very important for solo raid and electric weak content. Maiden almost has full uptime on her team element and attack buff, as it procs every full burst.
Although mostly relevant in late game (Mostly only available with late game gear) and if the Commander has a lot of Nikkes to play with
Using a character with a stronger element against a boss/campaign stage is usually recommended. Especially in solo raid and union raid battles. This is because this acts as a final multiplier to damage dealt.
(ATK x Buffs x Skill modifiers) x Element Damage = Final Damage
This allows S tier DPS’s to deal similar damage to SS or SSS tier DPS’s if said characters have high enough elemental damage (80%+) if the S tier DPS has elemental advantage and the higher tier characters don’t.
It isn’t recommended to overload lower-tier characters purely for this reason though.
Maiden’s self-attack and element buff has around 40% uptime with a cooldown reduction Nikke in the team, assuming the Commander uses her burst every time it is available. she provides herself with a big ATK buff based on final Max HP, a similar buff to what Cinderella has
Burst: Diamond Dust
Affects l enemy unit(s) nearest to the crosshair.
Deals damage equal to 1372.8% of ATK that is calculated based on 10% of
the caster’s final Max HP. Attacks continuously based on the current MP
Her burst hits hard due to how the conversion works.
10% of her final HP gets converted and added to her ATK values, which is then multiplied by her skill modifier (1372%).
let’s say a Nikke has 2,400,000 HP and 60k ATK (around Nikke level 400 defender values)
Maiden Burst values
Maiden’s HP -> ATK has been accounted for from her skill 2 (External and internal HP buffs are not considered)
2,400,000 x 0.10 = 200,000 + 134,000 (ATK)
334,000 x 1372% x 2 (MP stacks) = 9,164,960 DMG
Cinderella Burst Values (Comparison)
Cinderella HP -> ATK has been accounted for in this formula (External and internal HP buffs are not considered)
127,000 (ATK) x 14000% of ATK (Full stack burst + post patch values) = 17,780,000 DMG
Total DPS
Maiden: Ice Rose being around half the DPS of Cinderella (Best Boss Killer) while being able to buff other electric Nikkes is nothing to scuff at. Maiden’s personal DPS also exceeds Summer Anis’s personal DPS in her best team, while out-buffing her as well for Cinderella teams against electric weak content.
Maiden: Ice Rose just beats Scarlet’s personal DPS in almost all scenarios, with the only scenario being Scarlet can core hit consistently, which is rare. This makes Maiden: Ice Rose a good DPS even outside of electric weak content or teams.
Element Neutral Testing, Scarlet being more raised than Maiden by a good margin, with a team that favors Scarlet.
Boss is iron-weak, which is why Crown is dealing more DPS than Scarlet.
Campaign
Surprisingly, Maiden can work in Campaign as a boss nuker as her burst is crosshair based, which is the best targeting a Nikke can have in regards to single target bursts.
Saving 4-6 MP stacks is plausible in campaign stages, which is pretty much a full Cinderella burst hitting one target.
Basically, whatever the Commander points at, will be the perished by Maiden’s burst. However, it is unlikely that Maiden would see use outside of electric weak content, and even then, there are no top-tier electric weak campaign Nikkes available to buff as of now (Scarlet, Ein being the closest at S)
Luckily Scarlet/Anis: Sparkling Summer and Ein do have decent AoE capabilities, which should be enough to get through most electric weak stages up to the boss. Which then Maiden can finish it off easily.
Elemental Cope
Scarlet/Ein can be replaced with Anis: Sparkling Summer. Liter can be replaced with any burst I CDR. Remember to stall the run before heading to the final wave to stack up more MP to nuke the boss with.
Arena
One of Maiden’s weak points. At most, she takes out one Nikke with her burst. at worst, none
She is a defender, which means some synergy with Biscuit, but that’s not enough in a burst III slot where most of her competitors can wipe out whole teams instantly with their bursts.
Maiden: Ice Rose does have above average burst generation due to her skill 2 proc when compared to other non-clip RLs, which does make her a viable Nikke
Not expected to be very meta, further testing will be done.
Special Interception | Union Raid | Solo Raid
Maiden: Ice Rose already has top spot in Electric weak raids, pairing very nicely with Cinderella teams. Maiden: Ice Rose is also a very nice addition to the electric roster as well as Ein and Cinderella no longer need to compete over Anis: Sparkling Summer, and now both of them can comfortably be in separate teams.
Best in Slot Anomaly Interception Team (Electric)
Most likely the best team to tackle Glass Slippers as of now. Two heavy hitters with Maiden: Ice Rose buffing them. Use Ein to break the Slippers, and burst with Cinderella and Ein. Use the last burst for Maiden: Ice Rose, she should have around 11-12 MP.
Anis: Sparkling Summer is not listed here as there would be no projectile strong enough to break the slippers in one shot if replacing Ein. But theoretically, she would be the better option.
Best in Slot Solo Raid Team (Electric)
Grave can be replaced with Crown if the Commander doesn’t have a raised Ein team on standby: (Ein, Anis: Sparkling Summer, Crown, Exia with treasure, D:killer wife/B1 CDR)
If Grave is slotted, Flex slots can be Ludmilla: Winter Owner/Modernia/any MG, Red hood, or Maxwell. If Grave isn’t slotted, Red hood or Maxwell can be the flex slots. Red hood/Maxwell is important to the team because of their ability to generate burst via spamming sniper shots.
Grave has the unique ability to turn any MG into burst generation machines, which is why Grave teams have an increased amount of viable flex slots.
If healing is needed (rare for this team), slot in a off burst healer like Rapunzel or Alice: Wonderland Bunny
Element Neutral
It’s not recommended to use Maiden: Ice Rose on element-neutral content, but she is viable. She does more damage than Scarlet without any downsides, or similar/equal damage to Ludmilla: Winter Owner with all core hits. However, Most of her wanted buffs are null.
Just use Maiden: Ice Rose with your most preferred buffers and DPS’s.
Should you pull?
Yes for both veterans and newbies, Maiden: Ice Rose has a strong niche, and that is against Electric weak stages, she’s the best hybrid DPS/buffer, dethroning Anis: Sparkling Summer in electric weak content. However Anis: Sparkling Summer is still a more universal option to use in electric teams as her buffs don’t require the stage to be electric weak.
Even outside her Niche, she can deal more damage than Scarlet, Equal damage to Ludmilla: Winter Owner, and slightly less damage than Modernia.
Her only weak spot is arena, but that mode is competitive enough already. She is still viable as a somewhat decent burst generator.
Not pulling her would tank your rankings in electric-weak solo raid and to an extent Union raids for veterans. while newbies would be missing out on a limited/seasonal good DPS unit that isn’t a pilgrim, which are known to have low rates normally and on featured rate ups.

Her skill 2 a lot more utility and takes priority over skill 1. Maiden’s Skill 2 provides a rare Damage as strong element buff to other electric code allies. This alone makes very high value in solo raid and union raid content Her burst equates to around 40%~ of her damage, Raise when possible. | High |
