im standing at top 6 regularly and he's the lowest amongst the top 5
i guess i have to be satisfied with top 6

others are even worse than this guy uh?
but yeah, your main issue here would be defense rather than offense, although it's hard at least on attack you can commit to two teams... def they'd just steamroll it sadly
mhm rip 
yeah previous bracket i can steadily finish top 3 but after reset this is just insane
le rookie warfare 
the gap is just too much
Gems wasted for what. A couple rookie tickets 🧌

14,1% CP difference on first team, so that one could go through
you mean you still died with scar jack against 3 SGs? 
i didnt use that team
oh alrighty
but the team i did use still should have won
oki, checking their T2 and T3 let's see which is weaker, T1 is scar-jackable
Take Biscuit out of team 1 and put her with Noah
et back to pvp
No, I’m retired
the return of the warrior 
T1 is scar-jackal weak
T2 is p1 defender + biscuit weak (will hardcounter SBS dmg output)
T3 is 3RL noah weak, your current team is CP gapped although, need to raise CP
Need defender taunter for t2
so what should i do
Team 2 put in Noah Biscuit and make sure team is a tad slower than opponent
Do you have Emilia?
not invested at all
Cindy may work
post your box, we can take a better look 🤔
Invest in Emilia if you want to win in pvp
Noah bisc sanis maybe 
SAnis is a great choice
teams work great but definitely will need some investments, i have just 2 questions : where would Scarlet be slotted when i get her ? and is my current Rookie team (Blanc/Emilia/RH/Biscuit/Jackal) good until i get Scarlet ?
for scarlet, we could make an adhoc team with jackal, as emi on defense is generally a weaker choice
for rookie, same reasoning, although you've got a lot of options (cindy nuke, s.anis stall etc)
got it, thank you 
make these 2 teams and check if CP is enough
we could rotate T3 to face T2 instead if CP sucks for T3 🤔
t3 has been the biggest pain in my arse tbh
so pissed i got to rank 11 and then this loser sniped me out of nowhere
well it should work the same way with noah taunting SBS and on biscuit invulnerability, correct? @rich quail @glad meteor
lemme try
but he won 🏃♂️💨
no shit hes 20 lvls above me
like pick on someone ur own size bro 
Yeah just 20 lvls above

we have people beating guys at +5sync tier higher (81~100lvs)

i beat some guy 70 lvls above me
he then couldnt win back
but this other guy is giving me more trouble somehow
sync doesn’t matter much
It’s cp and unit investment
kinda does
especially in my case since they have lvl and investment, im a returner
is all about the cp deficit and stats debuff
tell that to this guy 
synchro lvl 701 
could prob beat my ass with 5 rare nikkes
the highest lvl right now is like 840?
numbers i can't even imagine 
854 i think
only 600k on team 3
note my sanis also has 2 ammo lines that i cant get rid of
gapped by 15,3% against T2, gonna need to tweak with a bit more CP
Biscuit + defender
try this one, rapu has more CP than noise
Counters SBS
yeah noah in p1 and biscuit in p3, noah taunts aswell should match the requirement right?
TY Man! 

I believe so, works quite well for me

you fought on deficit? 
replaced sanis with cindy
oh oke doke


It was probably easier to block opp Scar burst than Cindy’s
Not sure why opp decided to have both on the same team
auto and yolo 
backup if scarlet dies i guess, seemed to work more than once
If Jackal linked, Scar isn’t dying so quickly unless he has investment problems
i mean if everyone else died
cindy would stay alive and clutch
which is what happened
idk the mechanics of it but
yeah seems more of a weird attempt of throwing something together that still hits 3RL
and pad as much as possible at it
? I was away 
Hmm can you only challenge diamond 1 and not challenger from diamond 2? 🤔
c9(?
Haven't experienced going that low so I'm not sure who is in the target range base on rank position
Y’all won. 
Do we have like a guide for that?
Yo i need advice for sp arena.
3 ranks above your current rank
You can hit 3 ranks above
oh it worked out, thanks for earlier 
shoot, we're all ears 
Do diamond 2 can hit d1, c10, c9?
Yah
dia1 can hit ch10-ch9-ch8 iirc
dia2 up to ch9 i think?
So from diamond 4 and below, can't hit any challenger
yeah definitely
Oh thanks, anyways am struggling to go beyond diamond 7, i have teams that i randomly put together that I thought would work together But i would like to get proper feedback and suggestions
hmm ok, post your box ordered by strength and we can see if you're bricked or if we can work something out
unless you took long breaks, you should've a chance to climb
they patched that thing, when you drop ranks and didn't refresh the people
Ya let me just switch to my pc so i can better snip it.
Reminds me about that bug where someone could hit way above their ranks when the game was still new 
I did it once, it was a bummer they patched it too quick 
the game didn't ask you to refresh the info about teams or ranks before an attack/hit, you could drop some ranks and attack people way above your current rank and just swap
good times for those climbing, bad times for those defending 
good times to make people waste their gems
you don't have a jackal or rumani hidden down there right? 
also... nier collab but synchro lvl 315 
might be a bit tough but you can try i guess
Ya? but i don't use her.
nah it's more about level and progression, you probably took a break i think
To be frank i have everyone but the chainsaw man collab
Ok
Yeah, develop Jackal, Emil and Biscuit (if you have her)
3rl icbm to counter this?
Noah also a necessity
you can go for these
T1: scarlet blanc rh noir jackal
T2: centi cind pepper anis laplace+
T3: noise noah rapu sbs drake
rookie team
noah centi cind laplace+ jackal
as for cubes:
use quantum on jackal, centi, anis
use vigor on blanc rapu and noise
use temperance on noah
:/
I did say i have everyone but a certain collab
and i mean it
Yeah you got the units for sure
Just need to build them up if you want to make pvp a better experience
Got it
seems like they're still on 3RL, albeit of very little
so the answer would be yes
Which anis? the summer one or the sr one?
I assume the summer one
anis is the SR one, s.anis would be the summer one 
It more like good times for the prankster.. dropping some1 from C1 to Diamond4 in just one battle 
oh yeah real bully there 
SR Anis needs Quantum
just to clarify anis SR is a battery for burst gen, s.anis is used for different purposes
SR Anis also weaker than normal units, so be careful not to put her in a team with Blanc, because she may steal Blanc’s indom
Help me win please!
looks like you can ICBM on 2nd team and scar-jack T3
CP for your ICBM is kinda on the low side tho
nvm you're in range 
less synch level than me but with emi is indeed already a bad sign 
Ye he begging for a 3 defs idk what to do lol
remind him he's got a lot of bricks to drag with him 
Uhh tell him to pretend the pvp button doesnt exist 
emi blanc rh alice jackal
centi naga cind pepper noise
noah biscuit rapu s.anis noir
quantum on jackal, centi
vigor on blanc, rapu, biscuit
temperance on noah
resil on s.anis, s.anis must be lvl 9 burst skill, else use SBS instead

aye, had it too in rookie, match at least still went through 
although i fear that one was in SP 
i want to watch cindy one shot my enemy!!
Blanc team on T2?
yeah something like this
if you've grave, poli or xanne invested they're better than naga for buffing scarlet nuke, although naga boosts your CP probably
13% CP deficit in your favour on T3 so it's probably fine as is
have u guys ever had a thought that u want to put rng into ur arena and use tove + shotguns praying u get 3 stacks within the first 1s
i wonder how many shots sg could get
3 rank above you. So C10 could be hit by Diamond 3.
Diamond 1 could hit up to ch8.
Ch7 is the start of the staple Challenge rank
can someone help me make a third team? just got jackal, but dont really know who to put around her.
Scar jacked unless cores 
Are you fighting to enter Diamond rank? Can you get to diamond 9?
Why diamond 9? diamond 10 is enough to be on map.
Wasn't the breakpoint in rewards top90? Even so, the higher, the more secure you have a position
Start cooking! 
I'd like to know Moran investment btw...
How was the result? I'm curious. That team can be anywhere from 2rl to 3rl defending on investment...
From what you have left you could go
Maiden+Liter+SBS+Centi+Jackal
But, better to rebuild 3 teams altogether.
Something like this 
Thanks. I barely won and tried again when he knocked me down and lost on T2 😦
Bruh i have question about cube in Scarlett,grave,rh,bsoda (my soda don't build so must build her for now?), Naga cube, cinderela,xmaiden,emi,and ein cube
And what mean about extra battery and promote 2.5rl/2rl i don't understand too this
Highest level cube
Mainly Resilience
Are this worth to build bsoda? What skill i use her in pvp? Im never use her
Are my quantum cube must lvl 7 for centi? (Now my quantum just lvl 5) and resilince (lvl 9),Vigor (lvl 4),another cube is lvl 4
So what i must focus upgrade next cube
scalter team requres hp manipulation though. Noahless 
Skip
Noise blanc scalter centi jackal
Rumani grave biscuit cindirella emilia
Soda is just there for being a burst battery, you can invest her for raid(like 7/7/7 for example)
Next what cube i must upgrade btw?
How's Bastion
Lvl 5
I'd say get it to level 7 for Rapi

Can send ur entire box!
Wasn’t there a page to put my box? I play on my phone so it’s a lot of images and the bot doesn’t allow me to send that many
U can change to horizontal mode, then screenshot from there
Didn’t knew that was an option lol thx
📦
Ok
T1: Noise Centi Cindy Noir Rapunzel
T2: Blanc SAnis Biscuit Sugar Anis
T3: Auto
Alright thanks man
🧱

Did you see he opened some boxes to 341?
Oh really?? Less bricked then 
Was about time
Anyway for me to beat this? I keep losing in def
No jackal?
Nope 
Deadge
F 
CP def xmaiden team and kill dkw on t2 maybe
T1: Moran Noise Blanc SBS Centi
T2: Skip
T3: Auto ur 5 highest cp units
Their T1 has no burst 1
and their T3 cp is super low, can just CP diff
what do you have?
i'll try thanks!
still ded 
just T1 and T2
Does this team work if I replace Pepper with Rumani againt my opponent?
I killed ASS but then Rap revive her
double buff xmaiden (jackal buff better than rh here) vs 0 sustain (their noise b1 wasn't in time)
rapipi does a lot more dmg, issue is feed
only reason it works against scar is bc scar self dmg and attacker being squishy, so link is on lower hp side
even then against beefy scar it might fail unbuffed
Well, idk, it was supposed to nuke 2 attacker Jackal link... Not this kind of link... Good test though.
Idk if Jackal > RH though...
a lot more dmg from shooting range test
maiden is half atk scaling, and already gives herself a ton of atk
You might have killed it
Well, enemies there have like zero def.
then that means rh has advantage in shooting range
nah maiden won't kill them on time before indom runs out
Hp
double invuln noah
eh....
well at the very least I'm finally not going below 4th 
This is really something to think about 
Gotta make sure Blanc goes to XMaiden if I ever used them together.
if maiden gets hp buff, maybe kills noise, likely not cindy jackal due to higher hp, 25% more final dmg
at that point it's triple buff maiden maybe killing no sustain link 
also I lose splash dmg by swapping of emilia
maiden ain't cutting it against anything other than scar link
need the attacker hp and especially self dmg
The heck you talking about
Did u fight against T1 and T3? cause u shold skip opponent’s Team 2
You were also under 40 level gapped by enemies. Yeah, I wouldn't be doing this attack. 
then it's due to invest diff on both sides, making it inconsistent for most
Its the same, investment issues in the end 
that makes it not a reliably counter
Mid Maiden 
just need to find a way to somehow make rapipi not feed
rapipi with just jackal buff and about 75% ele does 2.6x as much as triple buff maiden
unbuffed will 1 tap entire link
It never was a reliable counter to begin with, coz you need an exposed linked unit first and for most. Having Noah at P1 already negates it 
I would only do this if the linked b3s are attacker.
I already failed to kill liter lol.
Scarlet usually P1 though 
My Maiden with 1 attack line will do 

I did test laplace
but gave up immediately after seeing dmg in shooting range, even with ele
not even half that of maiden
You could always use XMaiden to kill Scarlet link just fine. No problem.
It's just this test was pushing the limit.
rapipi is the best "sniper", rosa and miden depend heavily on invest, laplace the worst
each tier is like at least 2x more dmg than the last
well dmg in terms of dealing with linked
rosa dmg is trash if she couldn't dispel 
everyone else dealing with dmg divided by 3
Rapipi is the worse Sniper. You need speed when she is slow af
she's the best in dmg
problem is, unless they ain't using noah, you ain't sniping them
You can't call it snipe when they already burst before you...
here's what they need for p1 snipe:
- jackal
- p1 linked

so unless they're slower than 3rl, your 2rl rapipi ain't nuking before their noah if they got quantums
if rapipi was like rl or even sr, she would be so broken
2RL Rapipi would be without buff. So worse than XMaiden 
no
much much higher dmg if you got good ele, higher even without
lemme test rn with no ele
for reference triple buff maiden is 10mil, double buff is 8mil
wdym T1 no burst?
MG is the most drill-like weapon here 
for your T1, did SBS enter burst? did oppo scarlet kill you before u kill her?


Ah my mistake. I forgot Tia doesnt count as B1
so opponent's Rapi is used as B1 here
i fought against all 3, i didn't know there was a skip option?
Did your XMaiden equipped with Vigor cube? It's also good dmg buff.
Worse even if 4 lv higher
When facing opponent's team 2, you can just leave 1 nikke there as a "throwaway team".
So your main teams are T1 and T3 as I have suggested 
the third buff is 32% hp, and even that isn't enough
cube makes 0 difference here, maybe lets me get away with a lvl 9 burst instead of 10
OHHH, i just assume skipped = you're doomed gg. i'm out of tickets so i'll try at reset. thanks! 
which I'm not doing just for this
all teams have B1, Tia + Rapipi

One day I will have my Rapipi nuke, one day. 
Maybe evening
T1: Blanc SBS Centi Drake Noise
T2: Skip
T3: Auto ur 5 highest cp units. Ensure that your your CP/Opponents CP > 20%. When ur CP is more than >1.15x than opponent's CP, opponent's get a stat penalty and do less dmg. With ur CP should be doable
Edited the teams! Can give these teams a try tmr. Ping me if u need any more help 
Why xmaiden copium
let her be a burst gen 💤
@tropic summit @keen vapor dang, the DEF comp didn't work.
You need to invest units 
All of our PVP units are overloaded
Not to mention level diff can wreck you
Thanks for the test. It was very informative. 
Just like your own def comp. 
Heard u opened some of ur boxes
less bricked 🧱

Legit he just ol'd the piece 2 rolls later done
Me watching this live
Maybe
Blanc SBS Noir Liter Jackal
Centi Biscuit Rapunzel Cinderella XMaiden
Noah Ein Rapi:RH Bsoda Drake
Aight I don't really know much about arena team building so Imma follow your recipe. thanks
You guys using Fapi as your B1s?
no i use Noise, Jackal/Liter and Rumani (for 2RL) lol
havent built moran and rapunzel yet but i'll use them
I would build Moran 
building tove first
i want a real full fledge SG team for SR
lmao but fire weakness is interesting, SG team covers everything except that
Why didn't you 
maybe slot grave b2
I'm out of mats for skill 1 
I think is more of the level currently because All the current Nikkes are invested. Oh well, staying #6 till the Pay 2 Win leave lol
Whose fault is that? 
I build Tove and I reject it 
I dont cook until SR. I'm spending very little time on the game lately
Welp... 1/2 anniversary for skill resets maybe?
It was 3rl and I won 
I'm gonna reset me Tove.
@fathom rock since I failed at getting 3%, should I reset SG team?
You still need a 5th team...
How come?
Got her s1 to lv9 early on. I don't even focus on raid now and no mat to OL Tove
Or even B.Soda
Hmm you can use BSoda for CA though in Nikke 3
Well.. if you don't play SR makes sense for you
SbS, Alice, Cindy, S Rossana, Emi, Scarlet are enough for 5 teams I guess.
I have Drake, Noir, Sugar already OL. So I will consider B.Soda after I OL more B1-2 options
Fair enough
Eh, and ASS just keep slipping my mind.. I swear she is a death weight to me these days ....
She is a bit of a liability in SPA right now cuz of Scarlet
Just get 3% next raid 
And those units can be used for pvp minus tove
Everyone in my bracket use Scar-Jackal. Even top 100 in rookie use scarjack
Yeah I can see that

3rl ASS vs standard 3rl scarjack = auto lose...
Feeding them to 2.5rl
I've been pretty disinterested in PvP lately because of the state of things
It's a mostly solved game mode
Start playing with handicaps then 
We have resources that should allow most new players become somewhat competent as well
Hopefully CA isnt boring 
This whole game is a solved game mode.
Well we get the occasional unit to switch things up for a bit but other than that there's nothing really. It's just trading back and forth.
The best defense is whaling and CP gap
SR15 doll won't solve? 
I've thought about making a crash course guide for the new players when we get an influx here from events and such but the motivation isn't really there with everything being available anyway and SU doesn't really fix anything unless it's something immediately game breaking
You could try but you're doing a tank measuring game
Yeah they should make something game breaking like raid for Arena.
Like a biscuit for Attacker.
Defender Rapunzel
Unit which gives whole team +10% charge speed 
Yuni 
Units which buff attack speed to counter fps reduction.
Maybe if we have more interesting kits, we’ll have more interesting comps like quiry
I wish she give it with Normal attack.
Rather than after bursting
Yuni alt in nikke 2
Treasure Yuni when?
Nikke 2
Yuni will probably be an alter though
Same with Mihara
She will get her treasure when she gets back her sexy body. Trust.

May she become the first heretic under the new queen Mordenia and come back to conquer the Ark.
But she's on her redemption arc
Yuni and siren will have a convo scene together just grunting

Is using scar as sg tank for burst gen a viable strat
I think you could try these teams.
Need Quantum lv,3 though.
For Quency team you want the one with highest ATK at p1. Maybe your Liter/Grave has higher ATK than Quency.
Rapunzel could move to p1 if you aren't sure she would trigger biscuit.
No. Unless you have Jackal or CP gap their team or lucky. If you put Scarlet p5 without link you would more often died to SG than killing them.
The burst gen is minimal too. Without jackal s1.
In defense team, Scarlet p1 without jackal would also just die anyway.
Maybe get you a little bit burst gen. So if you lacked like 2/100 or something you could try.
Scar’s burst gen is like 0.45% per counter (which procs at 30% chance)
Thats like 3 procs per SG attack for ~1.5% gen 
Hey, I just started getting into pvp and currently have no teams or only a team when pvp first came out. what are the meta teams?
for sp arena
Can check out the pins which includes prydwen’s/nikkegg pvp guides. They’re a good starting ground to understand
ah okok, I thought they were outdated since the last update was a year ago I believe
ill check it out tho
That's actually more than I thought I would. Probably worth it if you lack like 3-6/100 now.
Just equip 5 quantum cubes 
Quantum on Scarlet
pobably the same thing with 5 squads now lol
(the only confirmed thing is the 5 squads)
Building 5 viable team comps for PvP is actually a lot of fun
I've been cooking for over a year on it and it's interesting to see my 5 teams slowly get better and better as new units get introduced and unlock more potential combos
Rumani + Cindy were huge
(not as a combo, just as a wave of new units introduced I mean)
hmm looks like you barely made it in time on T2, if scarlet crits you might get in trouble, post your box and let's see if we can get a more reliable approach for T2 
Hmmm, technically I've been preparing for Champion Arena for exactly 2 years

But I only really started cooking for 5 teams one year ago when they finally confirmed it
-
naga, cind, xmaiden, emi and ein can run any high lvl cube (bastion/resil), what matters are the cube i provided in the post (quantum and vigor)
-
b.soda was used as battery due to being a clip SG, you can get more info here on burst gen
RL jargon:
pvp mechanics: https://nikke.gg/arena-mechanics/
With SP bugs, UR beta, collab etc, seems like CA will be delayed awhile longer 
nice, so the updated teams are doing their job 
I can only hope that the SP Arena bugs are a result of them making changes for CA and accidentally breaking SP
yeah
they said they're struggling with CA networking stuff
... which has bled into SP now
Not surprising. Net code is not easy to write, especially as an after-thought
That said, this is an AI autobattle system we're dealing with here. Not a complicated fighting game requiring real time rollback or whatnot
yep I would say so for now at least
, I'll just keep duking it out with the 2nd place back and forth 
their code is a mess
pve stuff affecting pvp targeting is still a thing
there's probably some real time stuff with champ
Overwatch's presentation on their network rollback code is a fascinating watch if you're ever bored
https://youtu.be/odSBJ49rzDo?si=K8Em72J2sKAup3dl
alright someone build me top10 arena def lol. I think I'm fine overall, manage t10 every season, just looking to improve.
Maybe it would be faster for you to show us your current def to see if we could make any improvement upon that.
let's try this next
scarlet grave rh noir jackal
noah biscuit rapu s.anis laplace+
noise blanc cind anis rumani
cubes are as last time 
Feels nice as f2pvp, even if it'll last maybe 3 minutes 
Maybe you could use your Liter here instead of Pepper.
I just have some cookie cutter comps lol. scarlet cleave, sanis turtle, and working on a cinderella cleave i guess.
Your Noise would steal Noah taunt if she is p1? Because if she's not, better put Noah there.
Last team also low on cp
I'd probably have to do a run and see haha, noted. and yeah last team needs investments on rumani anis and emilia lmao
What is the CP of your strongest auto team?
@quick lake @keen vapor @swift mango what's a typical moran bay team btw? 🤔
probably like 900k-1m
I guess your team needs to be around 800k to not be CP gapped then if others in your bracket around your level.
So far viable teams imo:
Moran Bay Biscuit SBS/SAnis
Moran Rumani Bay SBS/SAnis

oh ok with sbs 
SBS deals the most dmg, cause the team has no buffers
SAnis also works, maybe abit slow 
How do you guy calculate burst gen btw Rail-chan
use this bad boy
or this
It didnt work for me somehow
Key in the units and it will auto show u the speed of the team

this then? https://nikke-deck.web.app/
Yeah, I can probably just slap in high CP for now while I work on the more pvp oriented units
You save me again Rail-chan
against this matchup, being an unbuffed scarlet:
i'm conflicted on B3 to use 🤔
Bay alone should win, neutralise scarlet nuke
Also you learn build pvp from gg right
yeah that's the plan
So, to which units you have OL on?
I guess Anis?
aye, i started from here https://nikke.gg/arena-mechanics/ 
prydwen and gg both are good. But not as much “teambuilding”, rather its arena mechanics
Yea its complicated
Pretty hard to learn for me lol
Yeah
pvp mostly trial by fire, or copy team comps
I honestly just familiarised myself with the main team archetypes, eg from Keripo’s matrix
yeah reverse approach also works, start from the usual templates then customize them as you go
finite number of defence teams:
Scarlet + Jackal
Cindy + Noise
Blanc + SAnis + Biscuit
Moran + Biscuit + SBS/SAnis
Noah + Emilia
Blanc + Emilia + Biscuit
after the above it's just a matter of balancing investiment + batteries + ensuring you get to reach B3 alive 
the top row are the defending teams. ie the win/lose is seen from the defender’s percpective.
So attacking left column teams VS the row teams

Ill heading here more frequency then
Where is Bay?
Not common enough to include 

Where's biscuit Cindy?
Cindy P1? 
Just Biscuit anywhere in the Cindy team.
Under the Noise + Cindy variation 
looks like this one might be a safer approach, just check CP against their two teams (making sure you're not on deficit)
(the bay team goes against their scarlet)
My matrix for SPA
are you asking which units I have OL gear on? I think pretty much starting from top up to emilia should all be OL
Ig ill try it again on Pc
I think must download and save a copy
yeah i usually build stuff on PC, on phone i'd just rather die

My brain still cant adapt this one
Thanks. That Bay team is meta for defense too?
Can you explain it more detail?
Slowly
pvp gang always here
hmm on defense unfortunately bay can get countered, a noah would've been safer but you don't have her, i'd stick to higher CP teams
since you already shared your box, I can check and make 3 def teams i suppose
Emi 21% CS?
Now i have to read all pvp unit kit again
Yeah Noah has been evading me. Same with rapunzel
No haha, I need to reroll her substats. I think maybe like 10% cs
Like for example we can look at the first defending team, a 2RL speed Scarlet Jackal VS a similar 2RL Scarlet Noah Jackal.
Both teams burst at the same time, but the attacking team has a Noah to block the incoming nuke. So in this scenario, the attacking team wins (cause of Noah)
What's is level of her s1?
i have her at 4/4/4 right now. so still needs work overall.
If she had 10% from OL line then she should have enough for 21% Emi. Good enough.
You could make some of your 3rl team 2.5rl with it.
Same to other Clip RL with 15%+ cs
Pvp is mostly about team archetypes vs team archetype imo.
If we have a 3RL scarlet jackal teams, there are handful of ways to counter. We can do a 3RL Noah/Bay to perfectly block nuke.
Alternatively we can do a 3RL Blanc + SAnis. Blanc will trigger and apply her indom on SAnis, leaving her to ignore the nuke and destroy the opponent’s team
But there only scarlet + jackal
The remaining units can be thought or regular burst gen unit to achieve the desired team speed.
The main “archetype” of the team is still a scarlet nuke team

I see
Mostly around Scarlet +jack while buffer can be different as long as they give decent amount burst gen right
Yep exactly! So they can be sugar sugar sugar. The unit themselves dont matter that much, just need to achieve the team speed
Of course we can rare cases like a monster 4ele atk cs Laplace that does bull dozes through, but generally rare
The more u cook, the more interactions and synergies u memorise/understand 
5 SR team even easier than this
Pvp is just advanced rock paper scissors essentially 
But yea time to cope
Hmm you could try
Noise+Noah+ASS+Rapu+LaplaceT
Crown+Rumani+Biscuit+Cindy+SBS
And see if the improved CP worked out for you.
scarlet blanc rh noir jackal
noise cind emi centi laplace+
bay rumani sbs biscuit ein
looks like we can still work something out without noah
quantum on rumani and biscuit to hit 3RL threshold on T3
quantum on jackal, centi
vigor on blanc, noise
temperance on bay
anyone else just run highest available lvl cube
Wishlist: rapu and noah
At the start, I went through all 180+ pages of Keripo’s messages 
And mostly asking blood stupid questions 
this man has seen hell 
Learnt alot 
I can give those a go, thanks for all the input
Sniping p5 biscuit 
He thought he had a team that stopped brain death auto attack? Think again. 
Should i read through all rheax messages to understand pvp 
did you have CP advantage for this?
Ofc I am. Why else I went for auto attack team lol?
I talk alot of junk too 
man I wish I could invest more into my pvp units but I've been climbing the towers daily for those dumb leaderboard achievements lol
Time to real deal
7 days learning pvp with chefs

imagine having biscuit at p5 and not a defender
with xmaiden sitting right beside her in p4 
this
far from my level little boi

Maiden is a delicate and feeble being, they need to be protected by their doggy.
tf you you meen feeble,her asscheeks alone are capable to tank sniper shots
and there is biscuit too
can you guys help me build team for pvp and special pvp ?
taking a look 
hmm, it seems like you're kinda lacking in batteries, might wanna at least invest in the minimun for the following (also will need to be put in synch)
rapu,rumani (optionally also anis SR)
can consider also investing, with lower priority, on laplace+
let's see what can be done with the as-is
are they? 
rookie:s.anis blanc rh centi jackal,sp arena:cp gap team,noah sbs centi biscuit rumani,s.anis blanc maiden bsoda jackal
i had a 3 minute aneurism cuz while i was typing teams for the 1st guy,2nd had posted and they have same synchro
🗿
Are there any tips for building 3 effective special PvP teams?
🗿
95% of last teams in sp arena are ineffective due to a lack of actual meta pvp otions in nikke
even 2rl cindy can get clowned on and i'm specialist in it
well you can start with this while you build rumani, rapu and possibly anis (way lower priority as SR, can be bare minimun for battery purposes)
scarlet grave rh noir jackal
noah rrh cind drake xmaiden
moran bay sbs biscuit centi
quantum as for the SS attached
temperance on bay
once you get those above synched and built, we can revise T2 and T3
Take you 3 strongest dps then build around them. Add clip reload RL, SG
that sacc 
i can kill it with blanc empty p2 sbs biscu rumani
Gotcha, any cube rec for Grave?
uh get her bastion if it's still available or resil (either which is higher lvl)
and in fact i already don eithttps://youtu.be/0lM_uQw4nXU
Not if they have more investment and level than u. 
i clapped it with 25% deficit
and they do have more investment than i am
@tropic summit rate the clown activity in this one
umm, can you explain the second part of each table? I'm not understanding it well.
Maybe they forgot to bring Emilia in that team 
Also, show me the screen shot of the match up
if they bring emilia,i will just use my crown team
a solid 11/11, would do it again
to put simply, each team has a burst gen, the most common are 2RL, 2.5RL, 3RL, 3.5RL and 4RL
these tiers decide essentially **when **you burst, in most matchup that can be decisive for win/loss
to get a clear picture, just give this a 5 min read
https://nikke.gg/arena-mechanics/
in particular, the section on Burst Generation - "Speed"
oh thank you so much !
The video is very laggy somehow. I finally watch it all after some struggle.
Well, it's still the same SBS+Noah+Biscuit but you saved one Clip RL... Oh well. I think you could save a biscuit in this case if you used a normal 3 clip RL instead.
But you used Noah, not Blanc. Gonna need another clip with Blanc to prove your first statement.
i checked this one,and if there is no laplacet,i could use rapunzel instead
oh wait
worng vid
lmao
Then it's not 25% diff. At 25% diff your whole team would be killed in 3rl without biscuit or Makima. No matter which team you use.
c6 sr 10 blanc with temperance in my case
don't mind the lag,my laptop is on the death door
Well, doesn't mattered much when you stats are cut by half.
it's kinda 50/50 in rapunzel's case
cuz blanc must survive 2 shots at least
Basically impossible
true
I need a screenshot of your CP vs their to make it believable.
dunno if i find it but 1 sec
Wait. You didn't even used Rapu in this video so nvm. You did it with Rumani though. If their RL had more CS you might not make it Ig.
I guess this is the the reason people use Emillia+ Clip SG in their 2RL Cindy.
2rl cindy
only allows 1 clip sg
cuz it's 3rl other cases
Yeah
Emi+Clip SG would counter Empty p2 well enough with deficit.
Biscuit can't protect 3 units at once.
and i have a vid of that too
but if they use emi
i would just use crown team
Well if you don't have 25% deficit then Emi aren't killing your p3.
And Clip SG may not killing P5 in time.
basically if they use 2 b2 in 2rl cindy,i do empty p2 slot strat,if they do emi laplacet,crown team it is
Anyway, thanks. Now we have even more options to deal with Cindy 2rl. 😏
u welcome
What about the pic to show you were 25% deficit?
didn't found that one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmrkHebsbac here's my final act
that's why i lovw fighting against 2rl cindy
it's too ez to deal with if you know your drill
Yeah, Emi killed your SBS in this video. So I believe you were in deficit.
nvm,350k vs 440k when they used anis and 350k vs 520k when laplacet and emilia
so emi murked me
but still works when no emi
uh is anyone going to help me?
You got help? 
@mortal sorrel right
I dont have RH
Liter
s.anis liter?
I think you mixed me with the other person. I dont have RH
at this point just slap privaty instead or rh
Yeah ... Jackal b1
well,i told already what happened
Uh you missed one whole team for arena you only listed two.
3 rd one is gap,i told this already
just pess auto and putt highest cp units there
I see.
might wanna ask again for teams once you've set these up too,:
wishlist: noise
to sync and build: rapu, jackal, rumani, blanc
We can probably build something better at that point
I just need something decent since I got more units is all.
yeah with those built and synched, you could get 3 actual decent teams
else you gonna have 2 decent teams and 1 padded 🤔
So what 3 team would I make once I sync thoses 4?
For example purposes*
I see
considering you lack noise and RH, i'd go with this temporary ones
Soda 
rouge could be moved to p3 and biscuit to p2 if not confident surviving 3RL lacking rapu, cindy lacks noise for buffing, t3 lacks RH to replace liter for better nuke
would make for some temporary but working teams 🤔
No no, we don't use RH for better nuke, that's a bonus
I have been trying to get RH for a year now 😭
Is for less feed
oh ye, liter definitely does feed way more due to SMG 
but iirc liter buff is also weaker than RH, so it's actually twice the bonus 
Especially when you buff Cindy
who should I smash together for my sp-arena teams? I did have a cooking session in the past but I think a lot has changed since then
burst 1/2/3 ordered by power
I'm currently holding 2nd but it's more by raw power of my pve units than by skill at knowing what I am doing 😄
current defense teams
a lot my pvp units are totally uninvested really which means I may still need CP from the pve ones, but I guess some decent burst1/2 combos will allow me to slot in some dps to pad it out a bit
I'm lacking Noah / Rumani and they're both on wishlist, any other units I should add to this?
Thank you for the help. I was also wondering for single PVP whats my best option?
post your box in order of strength and without filtering for burst, that way we can easily tell investiment 
hmm until you get jackal and the nikke mentioned before built, you could alternate between these 2 rookie teams
should go top 1-2 and then more obvious which is 2nd one
it's good like this thank you, let's see 
scarlet grave rh noir jackal
naga cind anis xmaiden noise
blanc sbs biscuit rapu centi
cubes:
quantum jackal, anis, centi
vigor on noise, blanc, biscuit, rapu
everyone else use highest available lvl cube
notes:
once you get noah, we can upgrade t3
wishlist noah, rumani
thanks let me see how that looks CP wise as well
I lack in cubes a bit
I only have 2 on most (like quantum)
that's fine, quantum here is not gonna make a difference (yet)
try getting it at least lvl 3
i'll try 🙂
allows a bit more flexibility when building teams
was working on bastion/resi some, I have only been playing a couple of months so not had a chance to max em out
and my union kind of weak.. looking for a new one tbh
current standings btw, so doing well, but people are biting at my heels for 2nd 😄
might be lowering my CP a bit too much, especially on 3rd team
will get killed by investment perhaps
I can add some cubes around some of them if missing, but dolls/skills sometimes won't be invested
it's 427k a drop of about 100k cp
yeah T3 is the one i struggled with the most, you could replace it with a padded team and a biscuit, e.g.:
crown biscuit rrh rapu alice
the point with that is that crown will get invulnerable for quite a while, once you finally hit bursts rapu will revive and you might get to still burst
let's see how that looks
oh means that your biscuit and rapu are really poorly invested 🤔
should consider indeed getting those 2 to R15 doll and some OL gear
ah not too shabby
yeah this will do until you hit noah 🤔
484K power atm
oh btw since we removed centi, you can place her instead of anis
will raise a bit CP on cindy's team
definitely will she beats my Anis on power
while keeping same 3RL threshold
492k with centi in
Team 1 -
Scar = R0 doll | 441 skills | no cube | all gear slots
Jackal = no doll | 444 skills | quantum cube | all gear slots
Team 2 -
Centi = no doll | 444 skills | quantum cube | all gear slots
Noise = no doll | 111 skills | no cube | 3/4 gear slots
Team 3 -
Biscuit = no doll | 111 skills | onslaught cube (lol) | all gear slots
Rapunzel = no doll | 444 skills | no cube | no gear slots
so the ones I noted have not ever been in my pve teams so they are under-invested like hell
if I haven't noted it down it's because the unit is OK built and will have been used so will have cube/doll/gear at OK standards at least
I lack dolls to give out hope I get more that I can use
I can steal some gear from elsewhere for now I think, and same for cubes I can just yoink some from other units

hmm i see, you want to doll up asap your scar and jack, afterward biscuit and rapu. (scar and jack will be often exposed to dmg due to the link)
as for OL, probably the same priority
makes sense
Just R doll. (U’ll want to get SR5 eventually) 
let me fix some of them a bit in terms of gear and cubes at least what I can and see what diff it makes
I don't have any that apply to any of these sadly 😄
ye R15 does already good
I hope to get some on SR...
No worries
coming SR trust
Dont be like me put SR0 on drake and now she has a treasure 
my main PVE units all have dolls now so I don't think I need to spare any there, I can put all into my arena team


Same
when will s3 favorite item be released?
scarlet burst is gonna need to be high lvl to be reliably wiping
as for jackal, 4/4/4 is fine
My guess… next SR 
Gonna be fire weak again to get ppl to treasure drake, I call it in advance
I can get scar to 4/4/4 - from 4/4/1
I will otherwise mostly need to sit units here on 4/4/4 anyway due to pve investment on skills 
aim for scarlet burst lvl 7 asap at least imo
before that, she'll have to do with double buff 
rip
Early game resources are never enough 
Can get drake from tix shop
i planned to max core noise first
OK so 500K on the nose with some cubes moved in and gear equipped in all slots
I got scar to 4/4/4 like I said, I can get the others up a bit (I guess 4/4/4 isn't difficult to achieve on all units, and 7 burst on scar)
quantum cubes on centi + jackal and vigor on noise + naga
They forgot about it

Ill get treasure helm asap
keep in mind T3 is temporary, we'll likely have to discard rrh, crown and alice
(those are still great for PVE)
When done with RapiRH
I use them all for PVE so won't change my investments there
yep absolutely fine
so who should I skill up next?
how's your cindy and RH skills
noise and rapu are 1/1/1
yeah ok start getting those all to 4/4/4 
hmm cindy burst could go up still, RH aswell
yeah problem is the ol' resources 😄
i guess start with scarlet nuke just to ensure wipe
although campaign team takes priority 
so list of stuff to do:
Scar to 7 burst
Noise + Rapu to 4/4/4
Dolls for as many as I can (short on upgrade mats)
OL scar jack rapu biscuit, in that order
I can pause campaign team for now I was waiting for level 221. I am doing OK there
OL scar jack rapu biscuit, in that order
keep in mind progression is more important than pvp
what's your deficit at on campaign and hard mode?
221k cp / 330-340k stages
oh looking good 🤔
malders would disagree, but you can ask in question if it's fine to invest in pvp with your current pve progression, on the safe side
i'll OL my campaign team first some where I can but I'm cool to chill and get a few levels here, outpost is lvl 240
if I ran out of gear to OL for campaign team I'll swing some to the units you mentioned 🙂
yeah sounds good
yeah I don't want to go crazy but I want to build them to OK spot to maintain a good SP arena rating for the gems, so a bit of invest is fine I think
you've got a solid plan i'd say 
also lets me catch up levels a bit due to core dust shortages
thanks for your help btw 🙂
I got the $15 daily skill book gifting thing so I can catch up a bit
btw just to confirm, double check that in the scarlet team, Scarlet and RH are the top 2 atk% stat, if noir is for whatever reason higher thna scarlet, we gonna need to swap a clip SG burst gen unit around
i'll park them where I said and move investment back to main team
just the raw atk stat on their page?
ye and eventual OL lines with atk%, those also count
want to make sure scarlet is linked with jackal or she's gonna pop 
noir is 2nd highest
swap noir with xmaiden, problem solved. Once Scarlet is higher than noir, move em back
right you are, problem 2 Grave is higher than scar I think
you kidding me 
put blanc instead of grave then
gonna hit a bit your CP overall but oh well
give scarlet also OL'ed lvl 0 head and arm, should raise her ATK more than enough
ah i c
yeah that's gonna raise the atk%
hmm could also, is blanc that worse on CP side?
way less invested
alrighty
hmm
if you wanna test and ensure link is working, just run any campaign and see that when jackal is hit, RH and scarlet also take hit (and viceversa)
can't remove it ofc 😦
if I give her spare pilgrim gear from SBS I can get her atk a bit higher natively but Grave still has the 11.81% atk stat, so her raw number is 32352
if that adds +11.81% then Grave atk would be higher I think
nope it's definitely Grave who is getting hit 😄
well temporarely you can put grave in p1 and scarlet in p2
OK cool done thanks
I'll get her atk up some and get her above Grave at least
looks like helm is the biggest atk upgrade on level change?
ye for atk for sure
OK i'll go with that first, I think I'm done with adding OL to Alice today, maybe tomorrow, then I'll switch to getting Scar some OL and a higher atk
but yes good thing we noted that or I'd be wondering how I lose so easily 😄
anyone have videos of emi nuke (any as long as nuke isn't blocked) vs one of these 4 specific setups:
noise/noah/cindy/biscuit/jackal (noise cindy link) (noise taunt)
noah/noise/cindy/biscuit/jackal (noise cindy link) (either taunt)
noise/noah/jackal/biscuit/b3 (noise b3 link) (noise taunt)
noah/noise/jackal/biscuit/b3 (noise b3 link) (either taunt)
if so, pls ping me with vid and invest of whichever team yours is
order of units and taunt matters a lot, although biscuit and p5 swapping spots is fine in any of them
who has taunt is basically who emilia shoots the icicle at
especially helpful if your emi setup has the dmg to clean nuke biscuit
but I'll take any vid of those situations, regardless of outcome
garbage game, wasted both attempts today to this, got zero information out of the fight other than it was a loss both times
SU, pls just delete champ arena entirely, it's clear you guys got no idea how to do proper net code for pvp
welp, after Railtracer's suggestions, i hit my highest rank in SP and start to see the top 10 
T2 didnt win unfortunately. Also I forgot to record the battle >.< CP deficit was ok
what would be better rookie def team? given cp diff
SBS
If it’s rookie sbs will just get noah biscuit
Noah noise biscuit sbs jackal
Noah noise sanis biscuit rapunzel/jackal maybe 
Preferably noise more CS than noah
Bro is always attacking me, can’t be satisfied with his 6th place
I always take it back when I login but he takes it back after i log out for the day it’s maddening
Then, why can't you be satisfied with C6?
@coarse lake @swift mango

god i love nikke optimization
pvp recordings are 1 minute loading screen then 25 seconds actual fight

Is in part bc of my wifi mobile data
Noah biscuit sanis doesn’t work for team 3?
Skipping bay comp 
I still don’t know much about biscuit bay.
Look at this record for example
It was restarting at a certain point and did it at 5% battery so entire fight is laggy
It gives me headaches
For example @glad meteor
Yeah I’ve seen that before 
Noise bay to withstand emi nuke
I wonder if it can withstand cindirella though
i won by changing a few things around. slowly learning 
I was always 5
Stop being it 

go for 4!
or change your name and union so he doesn't recognise you anymore 😛
3
Hmm, why Noah p1 and not Centi? Oh well, gg
Bc she wouldn't have died, obviously
Centi p1 so you burst with her for some more dmg. Noah burst is utterly useless in that team.
Also, what is your Noise s3 lv? And did you equip XMaiden with Vigor?
Defense debuff is copium 
Well, better than Noah at least. Centi also deal DMG x3 on link however small that is.
Noise is all 5
And Maiden had another cube
It was within 15.4% deficit right?
Yes
This is the main reason why I record before loading screen
Well, your XMaiden team wasn't with an optimal cube and not following my positioning so it's not entirely my fault.
Maybe doesn't need it
Oh well... Thanks for showing the video.
Was I a good guinea pig?
If you had followed instructions exactly, I wouldn't have known this Noah p1 experience. 
Also, if Noise was S3lv5, s3lv10 RH would have been better.
Centi+Noah+Anis+XMaiden+RH would 100% kill it.
Like I said before, S3lv10 RH was about equal to s3lv7 Noise.
Not to mention RH would buff everyone else in the team.
And xMaiden one Normal attack before her burst 3.
My Centi with RH buff already took nearly half HP of the links.
you mean the Bay team didn't win?
~~Might as well do Centi/Anis/Maiden/RH/Noah
Theres no enemy RL in P1/2 but is safer nonetheless~~
And how is your Moran?
And how is your Rossanna?
Skill lv?
I don't need to look at your gears 
Noise also SR15
sr15 robanana 
Which Pilgrim you sacrificed
my moran not built at all 
relatable 
Um…
I dunno
Because my Scar and RH are stacked
Not me 
Am I right in assuming your Campaign team aren't with SR15 or you are just lucky with the roll?
she's winning your matches, good investiment 
Campaign I am working on right now
Trying to get Crown and Naga in better cp ranges
I kinda went all pvp for a long while
I mean, are their dolls all sr15?
no regrets 
True 
No, only 3 of 5 maybe
you guys have sr15 crown 

Crown/Naga are the ones I want to buff
I would have not met a lot of great friends if I did not play pvp
rps best tomodacheese
Usagi-san

this is unwinnable bc the cp deficit right?













i know t1 is gg but maybe t2 and t3?
