Overload Gear Priority September Update

1. Why Maxwell is high priority? I though she only be used in oneshot team?

   • 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.

   • Noted, thanks for your Input!

     • 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.

   • NOT TRUE! Don’t listen to this untested bullshit. Alice needs 2 charge speed OL or just 1 at 4.2% if you use her with Maxwell. 92% Alice charge speed does not allow her to shoot at frame 1. Frame 1 will only be around 128% damage instead of her 350% which is nearly 1/3 the damage dealt by Alice which will cost you tons of DPS, all the whales and top ranker in SR will always have charge speed on their Alice.

3. How about Laplace, is she worth overload gear? I’m planning to full overload her, i beat nihilister with laplace as main dps

   • She’s okay. As much as any other High Tier, but not quiet Meta-Unit is. If she’s your best DPS or just your waifu, than there’s nothing wrong prioritizing her.

     • Edit: For anyone reading this in the future.

       All units are worth Overloading as its free stats. It’s just some, like the ones listed above, should be done first for Meta and or Quality-Of-Life reasons.

4. Why is Modernia only mid priority ?

   • Simple, Modernia’s kit gives her so much that she simply benefits “less” from Overload Gear than other units that essentially go up entire Tiers with it (ie; Snow White, Alice, Maxwell). Or even compared to Scarlet whose damage gets even more disgusting with Max Ammo Rolls by reducing her downtime. That being said Modernia is still a top tier pick, hence her being Mid-Priority in the first place.

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.

6. Where are MG’s in the general archetype suggestions?

   • We still wait.

7. Does manufactures bonus no longer matter when it comes to overloading gear? I can safely use Abnormal on non-abinormal nikkes and overload them?

   • nvm, ignore this

8. I really want a guide on the specific on how to reroll, I see the 2 options in the menu but I cant figure out what they mean. What is the difference between “change effects” and “reset attributes”?

   • https://nikke.gg/overload-equipment/

9. I’d be curious what Guilty’s overload stats would be, given how much damage she can put out coupled with how her burst is a great def shred and damage dealer. Attack and Max Ammo would probably be king since her 1st Skill requires shots done rather than reloads.

   • The same as any shotgun unit.
     She is was the 1st character to ever get full OL gear in my acc.
     Currently I use her as main slot2 unit, what I got for her so far is:
     – Crit R2
     – Crit D 1
     – Hit R 1
     – Max Ammo 2

10. I still don’t understand why Liter isn’t a recommended unit. She’s still the best B1 overall. Dorothy is great for boss killing but suffers everywhere else. Is it just because she doesn’t benefit as much from overload gear?

    • Liter is a very great unit yes. But overloading her serves no Purpose in regards to DPS gains, and if any, very miniscule. You’d only OL Support/defenders if you have enough resources to throw around, which most people will certainly not have. I made this in mind that people do not have such resources to throw around and focused on DPS Orientated units as they’re worth much more in regards to Overloading and spending Weapon EXP / Crystals.

      I hope this clarifies everything.

      P.S Dorothy is definitely still usable in normal campaign missions too, occasionally better than Liter, However she falls off hard against High CS deficits. Which is more prominent in Hard mode Campaign.

11. Why isn’t Guilty a priority unit? Using the site’s interception guides, I ended up using Guilty in 4 out of my 5 interception teams. Since she’s a dps unit that seems to get a lot of use in late game content, what is keeping her from being a priority unit for OL gear?

    • Her S1 scales off your strongest attacker, so you can boost the hell out of whatever meta b3 attackers you use and she dips into the highest attack.

12. I feel like this section should be updated more often or be revamped showing more units and priorities based on how many questions there are in the comments.
    There’s not even a guide for Machine Guns under the archetype subsection lol

    • Adding more units, not really. I still don’t think anyone else is worth Overloading quite yet at the moment.
      However, Machine gun archetype, probably.
      I’ll add it soon.

13. how about noir and blanc?

14. What exactly does this sentence mean “Recommended is how many rolls you want on the sub-stat (For example, 4 lines of max ammo = 4x).” Sorry if I don’t understand.

    • ok nevermind, i understand

      • Pls explain

15. Uh can someone pls explain to me what 4x means, idk. Like pls explain specifically, how do i get 4x on overload gear sub stat

    • 4x ATK mean having ATK rolls on across all 4 OL gear slot.

16. Wtf happened to drake? She is not on the list anymore

    • I no longer think she’s a priority to Overload more than the listed units when I updated the page. She should fit into the SG “archetype” Category if you still wish to overload her.
