Overload Gear Priority

Intro

To understand how overload equipment works, click here. Overloading gear are very big investments and the main resource used, custom modules, are scarce. This guide aims to hopefully guide you to the right direction on deciding which units to overload gears and what sub-stats should be rolled for them.

Table Explained

Priority Units are Units that benefit the most from overloaded gear, and where they stand in the meta if they are worth Overloading as well.

Priority is what sub-stat you want the most on said character on a scale of 0* to 5*, with 0* being not worth considering, 1* being least important, 5* being most important.

Recommended is how many rolls you want on the sub-stat (For example, 4 lines of max ammo = 4x). Notes are my explanations on why I think the sub-stat is important.

If a sub-stat for a unit has a Priority of 1* but has 0x recommended, it means that while this particular sub-stat is not exactly recommended for the unit, it doesn’t hurt to have this stat either as it still benefits said character if your stat re-rolls weren’t ideal.

Specific names not listed means that they are not quite worth spending Crystals / Investing towards, but would rather fall into “Archetypes” if the user wishes to do so anyways for stat sticks.

Nikkes’ names are colored corresponding to their element codes. For example, Scarlet is Z.E.U.S, which is purple in game, so Scarlet’s name will be colored purple here.

    • She definitely has more use case scenarios than just being in a oneshot team, She can be a stand alone burst unit. Not only that, she does benefit really well from overloaded gear. She’s shines in late-game content such as Union raid, chapter 20 boss, bosses with parts, etc etc.
      on content Snow white can shine, Maxwell can shine too, with Maxwell being a bit more flexible due to her Skill 1 buff.

  2. You never go charge speed on Alice’s overload gear. The difference between the 92% she innately gets through lvl 10 skills and 100% doesn’t even equate to 1 extra shot during her burst lol. There will always be a delay timing even with 100% charge speed. Charge damage or elemental damage would be infinitely better.

      • I’m pretty sure this is not true, I suggest testing it. I’m gonna be doing some testing of it myself, it could be a device difference but I’m pretty confident 100% is actually needed to maximize dps on the pc client, at least – at 85%, it is very noticeable how much longer I have to hold the charge than if I were spamming at maximum speed.

  5. Increased ammunition on Privaty isn’t actually always a bad idea depending on how its utilized. My SP Arena Privaty setup activates its burst 6 seconds into the fight, so she’s already reloading. If I pick up anything below 50% increase that would allow her to always pop off her stun proc since it seems that AR’s fire at 10 shots a second.

    Also the proc is such small damage in PvE anyways I can’t say I’m worried much about it. Thankfully if/when I get Maiden I can replace Viper and get the same activation time.
