September Tier List Update!

Tier List Link!

Note: Database is currently updating to reflect changes made, please give it a moment.

Intro

This article aims to highlight the changes of the unit rating that were changed in this tier list update! Some Nikke ratings were change this month, with healers getting some love!

P.S. Use the Table of contents above to easily navigate through units that were changed

Unit Changes

Alice

Alice

(PvP) 9.0 > 9.1

A small bump to put her in the same tier as Summer Anis as they both offer similar team wipe capability. However, slightly worse than Summer Anis because she can easily be “walled” (taunted by a defender with indomitability buff)

Centi

Centi

(Story) 10 > 9.5

Centi was the undisputed best campaign unit due to her unmatched burst generation, however there are now Burst III Nikkes that can provide decent burst generation themselves. She is also not the “must-pick” unit for campaign anymore either ever since the release of Blanc.

Emma

Emma

(Boss) 3 > 5

Great healing, however Cooldown/downtime is simply TOO long between heals, also 40s CD. Still deserves a little bump to rating though

Frima

Frima

(Boss) 4.3 > 7.0

Frima’s extremely low boss rating was rather harsh, she can output good healing while being a 20s CD unit. She can also be manually played to improve healing output even more.

Jackal

Jackal

(Boss) 4 > 6

Good buffer for 2B, her damage share has seen good use in recent Solo raids as well.

Mary: Bay Goddess

Mary: Bay Goddess

(Boss) 8 > 8.3

Up’d her tier, has better healing than Soda and can manually spam shoot for burst generation. Deserves to be a higher tier than Soda at least.

Mary

Mary

(Boss) 2.9 > 5

Somewhat similar reasoning with Emma

Mast

Mast

(Boss) 8.5 > 8.6

Hehe.

Miranda

Miranda

(Story) 6 > 7

A decent substitute to teams that do not have cool down reduction. Great for newbies who don’t have liter or volume, but have only 1 hypercarry Nikke such as Scarlet, A2 or Modernia in the team due to incomplete Nikke collections.

Noise

Noise

(Boss) 8.4 > 8.9

Seeing constant use lately in solo raids in teams 3-5 due to self healing and taunt capabilities.

Novel

Novel

(Story) 7.1 > 6.1

Extremely inconsistent burst targeting. Burst will likely not hit your preferred target 90% of the time. More usable Burst II’s have since arrived as well

Snow White

Snow white

(Boss) 9.8 > 9.5

Due to new Solo raid targeting mechanics, Snow white will most likely be targeted in her optimal team. This makes playing her even harder or even require a taunt Nikke in the team, which makes her slightly less flexible lately. However still an excellent bossing Nikke.

Soline

Soline

(Story) 5 > 6.5

Her Full HP mechanic isn’t too hard to maintain, and has a hard hitting AoE burst (Albeit rather small) when Full HP, up’d her rating a bit.

Sugar

Sugar

(Story) 7 > 6.5

Shotgun. But at least she has hit rate buffs, maybe you’ll hit two pellets beyond close range.

Helm: Aquamarine

Helm: Aquamarine

(Boss) 9.1 > 9

Lowered her tier as it may seem very misleading despite her being strong in her niche.


Ending Thoughts

Gave some healers Love this update, as I feel like they’re rather undervalued in the tier list. Do take tier lists with a grain of salt, as there will always be scenarios where a rather lower tier unit can perform better than a higher tier unit all depending on scenarios and content. Do understand and experiment with Nikke skill kits.

  1. What does “Due to new Solo raid targeting mechanics”, did they change it? I notice it as well that my highest DPS always get targeted last solo raid, I thought it’s just rng, is that what they doing?

    • Yup, that’s what they’re doing, it’s been like that for the last two solo raids
