I don't know your units.... Those weren't your only Nikkes right?
Nah i got almost everyone
so he says
Scarlet Blanc Liter Centi Jackal
Noah Red Hood Rapunzel biscuit Emilia
Auto team
That works
What about rookie?
Noah Emilia RH biscuit jackal 
You're amazing, hace a good day 
I need a cook
You are 100 levels behind
also still working on my rumani, that's why you don't see her 

You wanna beat all 3?
why? just 2
Scarlet Black Shadow Blanc Liter centi jackal
(if Noise is higher CS than Noah go this way, else swap positions for those 2)
Noah Noise Cinderella Biscuit Noir
Rapunzel Crown RH Laplace Helm
last time I did some actual pvp was like 6 months ago, if not more, this reshuffle slapped me in an active bracket so gotta cook after not cooking for months 
Yes, we always skip one team 
also need to update my defense ig
T1 just 2rl scarlet jackal and t2 can do 3rl blanc
Do check the RL of the enemy teams since I can't check the spreadsheet rn. But pretty sure 2md team is 3rl
Fantastic, thanks!
will take a look, cheers
In that order right?
Yes, in that order
these are all my nikkes info, could anyone please tell me whats the optimal sp def setup for my account? https://www.blablalink.com/shiftyspad/nikke-list?uid=MjkwODAtNDYwNDMzODYyODI0MjE0ODk5Ng%3D%3D
Nikke blabla link
Ok thanks
Requesting backup @swift mango
My mobile data won't survive this
can someone help me come up with the best sp arena teams i cant pull off please https://www.blablalink.com/shiftyspad/home?uid=MjkwODAtMzg5MDYxNjE3MTcwOTY5NjMxNw%3D%3D

You'll see however, we ask screenshots from lobby to quickly identify the most invested units one has
arena heating up this season
started off by being shoved down to dia1 from chall7 
Today is work day it seems 
That guy from yesterday will have to wait
Literally me:
wym 
I like when I can rest 
You just bought Asuka gacha skin? Like, on this event?
oh dont want to bother u nw if u cant help 
How many people does a spa have in total
i started when maid mast dropped didnt play last event
Well, there's not Rapunzel Pure Grace, that's a good sign
idk if thats sarcasm
Something between 100 and 200
I think
wow that looks co-ordinated 😄
Thats a very big margin of error sir
like 1-2 mins sat in each bracket jesus
I have seen rank 300 before so I would assume 500 people but mostly dead bodies.
How do you get helm to be the fastest burst gen? Does she have to have 4x 5% charge speed?
iv'e been running these teams chillin at challenger 1 but maybe they can get improvements
Dead bodies are taken out of spa
It really is a good sign, it would meant that you have some months on the game and still haven't reached 200 level, but that's not the case
1 log in every month is still count.
They aren't dead
im like 5 weeks in
Blood, take Marcus
Tell me the highest and lowest subserver number in your top 20 spa
I dunno man
@keen vapor tell him, my game isn't opening right now. 
you could change teams? maybe... but you're already chal 1. maybe you change teams if someone actually challenges you for it (gives them a new thing to try to beat)
I'm busy with Jay 
Doing daily 
HONKAI IMPACT 
Treasure with s1 maxed and phase 2
4 cs lines do help for even faster burst gen
she's good even without CS lines though, but yeah, if you want to min/max a bit add some 
oh no i didnt screenshot me when i came back 24hours later. i climbed back to a little higher than chall7 then took my screenshot
oh it was in reverse lol
yep. i clicked 'collect' and thats when it registered in my head that I actually sank all the way down to dia1
yo guys which are the best 3 teams that can be made now in arena
Scarlet/Maid Anchor/Liter/Centi/Jackal
Noise/Rumani/Naga/Cinderella/Noir
Equip quantum cube on Rumani and Noir or Noise, maybe even the 3 of them
Bay/Biscuit/Red Hood/Anis/Tia
@strange rain
damn thats good thats make all of my teams rl 3 hopefully my cp wont lower much ill try
ty 
do base overload to increase CP
now to see if I can hold til reset lol
Nice one 
story team investments first
still have alot of work over there

or do I just attack this guy now? gotta think of a new team
although all the units i use in story i use in arena also so should be ok
Isn't he using the exact same teams as the other guy? 
wait, I guess he is
I think Rail is tired of cooking these days. 
It gets to a point sometimes
i just got home from work 🤔
Bro misses you 
what this guys wants
Scarlet died? On 2rl?
he's already C1 fyi
let me share the recording in a sec
Is your Helm with treasure? 
bro ran out of opponents cuz he has a cooked team while others are not understanding why their mirror team aint working 

@pale knoll
Oh she didn't kill rh huh
and she's 10 10 10 with lvl 15 cube
Too bad my fun doesn't ends like that 
What about attack lines?
only 1 
That's the issue 
I want to improve the defense of my friend but he's not on the server 
all her gear has some mix of ele dmg+ammo or high ammo rolls, don't wanna touch that for now
still, kinda impressive she face tanked it
liter+centi (even though it's a small debuff)
crown buff will be only partial though
but whatever lets you kill liter will allow you to outdps
You just need to jump to a bracket 4 months later than you. Like mine, and you would be competitive. 
You what? 
Another attack lines would be nice at least, but you decide your priorities 👍
move noise to p5 and biscuit to p4, ein can be p3.
Cinderella must absolutely not be p1, read the table please, it specifically says to put her p3 (you're giving opponent 1.75x extra burst speed on p1)
oo ok thanks
gotta finish OLing rumani first then getting decent lines on rei2
we did have all sorts of discussions earlier on why cindy is not p1 but she wound up back there 😄
at some point it will be just natural selection
daily reminder of what happens when you put cindy in p1
Tell me the highest and lowest subserver number in your top 20 spa
Just build reit and bench scar 
me? I'm a total noob (but Railtracer is my sensei)
someone who reads 
@keen vapor i'm moved to tears
next step is cooking yourself and become a sensei yourself 
one problem I will still face tbh even if I get enough of the basics here is that I can't/won't really get to see how older collab units work
Stronger nuke than scar
it's hard to cook for teams you can't use/see ever 😄
but no counter/jackal synergy
do we already have vids of reit nuke power on meta teams on high synchs? 🤔
Why counter when you do like 50% more dmg baseline, ele adv on rh, doesn't lose stack from 2rl
also I guess I'll probably not face them unless I get shuffled into a bracket they're in but they'd be starting months before me then
wdym doesn't lose stack
Scarlet powercreep happened? 
theoretically, i've yet to see good vids 
that's gonna change when SU releases attack speed cube, trust 
5 stack scar still nukes for less
I still wonder how surface content will boost our accounts
Literally should full replace scar for insta nuke atk comps
you mean more lvl disparity with whales who will definitely have more advantages and source of income? yes
gonna take a while for a full investment, rn the only nuke that I use other than scar is cindy and emilia
My 7/7/7 Scarlet is getting replaced let's gooooooooo 
you do realize that means getting a built reit 
1/1/7 is as cheap as nukes can possibly get
Rei Alter skill investment 
Well do want a few atk and ele yeah
oh oke
But no ammo needed
that's probably 10-15 rocks unless pretty bad luck
x2 ele x2 atk seems fair enough
10-15 rocks for atk+ele on all pieces? what
2 of each
FINALLY
so a total of 4 lines
then again it took me 20 rocks for 1 ammo OL on alice so it may RNG badly
yea, ultimately it depends on luck
so i guess the self buff applies to the nuke dmg afterall (sorry didn't follow much on her)
Yes, at least in pve
fascinating, a vid would be nice 🤔
did anyone test in pvp?
A few burst lvl 4 vids I saw, but nothing to compare to
plus being instant is a good pro too
and doesn't need a buff or could go with even just 1
scary 
my entire rookie bracket either uses 2rl noah or scar jack
so uh...
I prob can't test until I get her cp high enough to be used in sp
s.anis blanc emi centi jackal
auto
noah biscuit sbs la+ rh
cubes:
quantum on jackal, centi
vigor on biscuit, blanc
temperance on noah
resil on s.anis, s.anis must be burst lvl 9 and no ammo+ OL
notes: check table attached for what to aim/build toward
notes2: consider investing asap in cindy, looks low on investiment.
Can opt out of scarlet and go straight into building reiT
would need testing, but i can assume these teams:
T1: revive chance if dying within 2RL, single buff + splash
T2: buffs standard 2RL
T3: very heavy pressure 2RL no buff nuke
Tell me the highest and lowest subserver number in your top 20 spa
ig if you build 100% ele on reit, she should do 33% more dmg to every linked unit
good god 
if rh is linked, 66%
defense teams about to get even weaker 
once ppl find out
i better start building rosanna and go for sacc instead 
fast reit could legit be a viable counter to standard emi, while in the past rh living could still mess you up
now rh will definitely die, and if you want, you can go for comfy 2rl and keep same dmg, or try to outspeed like with scar and do like 50% extra dmg without counting for ele
second accident like emilia right there 
at least this time i had the resources to grab her
if I can get my reit higher atk than helm+, then I'll be really cooking
@keen vapor oi let's change one of those meta teams shall we 
much easier way to deal with the og stall sanis, esp with how tanky my sp whale's rapu is
scar needed to crit to kill rapu and win the fight
sakura meta soon, counter SBS and reiT 
reit won't need crit, with helm+ I can still outspeed
beefy sanis living (no counter) is a slight worry, but with raw dmg it should be fine
wouldn't you still have scarlet for s.anis anyway?
oh wait i get what you mean
@coarse lake any concern for this
would make her useless in defense i suppose? very strong attack and very counterable defense
emilia dejavu 
OG Sakura would tank CP say real
Who willing to lv burst to lv7 too 
you sure? we assuming we dealing with whales here, they could be investing in my own house
Maybe in ReiT becomes more mainstream… maybe we’ll see more Sakura counters 
if she becomes mainstream it's a given
free win against that matchup as you'd kill the only source of dmg
Ppl probably taking into account other skills as well
4 is meant to be enough apparently 
which is very budget oriented
anyone could get one and throw her in synch
gonna be a strictly attack team i guess
4OL OG Sakura soon… 
not a problem for whalerino
another hit to f2p and defense teams
arena is screwed 
not that it wasn't before, it just keeps getting screwed worse tho
Imagine whel knowing counter
Just bet gems on Keripo’s pvp whaling 
Better stock up ur gem stash for CA sports betting
lmao
Time to core 7 sanis when she rerun again 
Rerun in 2 years 
Rheax insider info
old collab units obtainable in mileage doko 
yeah this neuters her
seems like lvl 4 is enough to kill it
or y'know, just use bay
oh right it's a single hit
yeah that's an attack team only 
on defense she's too counterable
Eventually
they have to allow newer players to get old collab charas some how
I have mlb rei, she need 2RL on def to make it harder for sakura usage. 
right? surely? definitely. 
Sakura gen bad, but for sp we have a lot of good gen anyway
Test her against scarjack 
don't you have a reiT built btw?
weren't you saying something about getting dupes
No
aww sadge
I have her MLB, R15 but that's it. Not built.
Need a week or two before I full OL her. Just spent to OL helm+body of Rouge and I'm out of mat.
I think I will SR 15 my Scarlet first so I would be better position to face mother whale. 
Get the last 3rd line for her too....
Can you guess which game is it?
If you could dedicate your 1+ month of b3 skill book for this then you deserve it.
not a 1+month for 4/4/4 sakura tho 🤔
No. It's either blue or purple. Purple burst skill books is often lacking, unlike Purple common skill books.
Blue is bottle neck in both.
You don't get -90% dmg with lv4 burst skill.
that's fine even if we're to assume it's 50-60%, that's enough to kill the nuke
You don't level up every one to 10. Most will stop at 4-5-7. The gold ones will be the ones you use the least
Not really, we have Blanc, remember?
You are bricking yourself if you only built 10/10/10 and not a whale.
would need testing anyhow, i guess too early to say since bay also exists for those scenarios
might be more cost effective just having bay instead
since she can be used for other stall teams

might wanna consider rosanna and having two very fast teams with CS% added 
my Rosanna isn't build at all 
oh don't worry mine either, but the more synch advances the more i see that i'll strictly need her 
forcing out a noah on 2 teams that need noah generally raises the odds your def will win
and that's achievable mostly if not only with a rosanna team and a fast 2RL noah team
doesn't she need heavy skill investment?
7/10/10 SR15 doll and ideally 30-40%atk, crit% also very useful, elem atk not strictly necessary as you'll murder helmT and emilia regardless
Bay is very copium to be honest, how many time did you actually used her to win against a scarlet?
very limited use cases, although i've seen interesting vids
Rosanna has been surprisingly useful tbh 
that's the investment I feared of
@gaunt viper look at how this invested ross puts pressure on attacker with a fast team
Vids in meaningless if you can't use it in actual fight. I can reset 100 times to make a perfect vids, it doesn't mean it's any use.
How has the testing been for Rei 2.0? 
Reset in PvE is free but arena take gem.
a better scarlet on all fronts burst wise, very good for attack, easy to counter
added bonus she doesn't need buffs, unless you dealing with very tanky comps
When I have no scarlet but also no more resources to even attempt to team build
no 
you rolled her right?
mhm!
🫡 I might hit
C1
Focus on main campaign team 
that's gonna be your scarlet then, go invest 1/1/7 
is that a fully invested Ross do u know?
I am that's why I can't afford to give anything else to anyone rn 
Yall same bracket? With retro? 
no clue but a well invested one if anything, i used to have RH survive with 40-50% hp on non invested ones
But soon her time will come 
Yes
gl, that guy scares me 
C7 goes stronk
Whels
shucks, mine literally might as well be at 0. I remember I considered raising her at one point for arena but things worked out and I didn't end up needing her, now it's been like 8 months since then and I'm back at that crossroad 
it's your next step in an improved defense
should raise the odds at least
Looks like a bunch of alts. 
I was hoping more meta units would arrive to take the place of Rosana that would actually be useful in other content without having to go hogwild on investments as I have little to no rocks 
what the hell is their scarlet team, freaking whels 
Maiden bursting 
it hurts just looking at those teams
Yeah, We take these wins 
CA is gonna be fun, no more lvl advantage only rocks at worse if synch level locked
finally could compete on more equal grounds
one can dream at least 
Hopefully he eep 
Wasn't CA the end of Feb or am I tripping
or was it march?
March 
might be end of march, but considering the many times they postponed it, i'd rather have low expectations
You would fight lv500+ peep who 101010 everyone and higher core + manufacturer bonus than you. So still in deficit anyway. 
Nothing equal for you sir.

still better than having to deal with that PLUS the extra 50+ levels you know
they didn’t say 
anything that kills their advantage is a godsent
Whale normally don't have their biscuit 101010

Not at our level
But commoner at 500+ have.
now u got a target on ur back 
the whale gonna wake up 
Doll is fine
hopefully he have long eep 
reit into scar jack is just stupid, I ain't doing that
just scar into scar but worse 
Do it!
i recently got mana and treasure helm! i wanted to see if there could be any improvement with what i have right now
well I fought against one that I thought was well invested but used my Noah squad so it wasn't bad. but with Blanc and Emi I don't know what to do, I lost against a Noah with Emi because no matter what I do Emi will just not live, she keeps dying before b1 even gets off 
not much to do with mana, now helmT on the other hand sure can
is her treasure on stage 2 and skill 1 lvl 10?
Tell me the highest and lowest subserver number in your top 20 spa
i have her on stage 2 level 7 skill 1
actually held the rank 
ok then once she's lvl 10 we can make good use of her
your priority is going to be taking away those SG feeders asap
ideally also replace pmaid as B3 with someone else
if you've reiT she can work too
i have reiTN
awesome
build her to 1/1/7, R15 or SR5 doll and 4 OLs lvl 0, aim for atk% and elem atk, although not mandatory
once she's ready, can probably change your lineup quite a bit
i'll focus on getting helm to S1 skill 10 then move onto rei after some investment in my cinderella team
thank you
yep sounds good, no problem
Pepega leader getting ignored 3 times now
just to give you an idea, this is what you could pursue
helm s1 maxed

out of exp fodder for rumani though, need to clear more tribe floors 
time to mald 
wait faster
wait, no
challanger rank 
red rank, I'm officially a blabber
one day I'll be there
tho feels like I've been at bronze forever 
to whom are you referring to?
Idk , anyone works
that was way too close, was there a better team against this one?
If i use what Rheax gave me. what would I do if I had a fully invested Ross? cause honestly I'm considering doing it instead of constantly bashing my head against the wall 
Maybe just add a link of the message into one your comments. So it's not easy to find but still can be found. 
those teams while not weak aren't forcing opponent hands enough
What is 1RL, 2RL, 3RL, 4rl? This is the most frequently confusion in arena lol...
@coarse lake dunno maybe ppl just don't listen in this chat, another mirror scarlet 

how should I force their hands more? because my hand is constantly forced and I'm switching things up when Attacking daily
I'm gonna have an aneurysm
Does blanc cast the invinibility thing after the full burst or just her burst?
I guess it's bad 
what was the right counter then?
the highest is 17807 (guy in 1st and a whale) and lowest is 17775
scarrosa scarrosa mirror rng intensifies, double gen rng, double crit rng
well PvP in nikke is very simple, it's a matter of rock, paper scissors... now what happens if you force an opponent to run out of either of those 3? they can't then beat the one they need
or at worse, force them into not as good matchups
how you do that is to have 2 teams that force to use their best cards, ideally
the more you force their hands, the less good cards left for your other 2 teams
a 2RL anti nuke with a nuke or strong DPS (indom) with a rosanna team generally forces the hands the most
realistically speaking, you'll have one of these:
quick nuke + resistant anti nuke
quick indom
stall/CP padd
once that's reached, that's the best def you can pull off, a more advanced technique would be building a def involving a sacc (rosanna gives burst when a nikke die... forcing one to die early... and...)
yeah so Blanc and Noah are 2 of those cards
mhm
the problem is i don't know how to make a 3rd card very well. I'm not even sure how one would use a Ross with how many options there are now 😅 . I want to be more well versed in these sorts of things but it's not easy
Deviance of 32
Mine is 54
well we've posted several variations, just pick the best ones you can dish out for now then build toward those you can't yet
rheax did a fine job here for example:
can also work toward these
well I've got everything but treasure Laplace from that 😅
but i see the Rosanna positioning
rosa usually in scar team p4 so
yeah you've gotta avoid having rosanna being hit ideally
I didn't know Mari was a good pvp until now tho 🤔
just one of the best buffs but bad gen no feed

amonog the better ones of 93102420 b2 buffers we can use
I think you're missing one 
I've been curious what is meant by non-feeding with her, i mean that's normal of MG to do (to feed)
hitcount = feed scarjackel gen
well no i understand that
SR and RL do not feed many bullets to jackal
= less burst gen gain on enemy
for 2 "rl" sg feeds 40, ar 20, sr 2, smg 30, mg 35, rl 2n
maths 
oh that was in reference to Mari, I thought it was Rosanna for some reason 
constants are just numbers
maths is maths
hello
sounds like good maths to me 
getting the frame part figured for actual feed prediction based of cs would be some math
too much maths for me I think 
so what does this mean exactly?
Spa takes players in subservers close to each other and puts em together, that way if they've been playing loyally , you can get challenger easily as an f2p , as time goes on , people quit , there aren't enough people to fill a spa
Solution: increase the number of subservers people are taken from to fill a spa
Im a launch month player , rn my spa is consists of people from 54 subservers at least
I was just curious how many subservers others are facing
I see, I wonder what it was initially then 🤔
I did count it once before , but its been an year , so i forgor
I'm confused, how did Scarlet wipe me here? Aren't these both 3RL teams meaning noah should have covered me?
what's your noah and noise CS%
if noise has taunt priority, enemy will splash on 3 nikke instead of 2
Noah is 5.5% Noise is at 0
yep there you go
noah applies taunt, reloads
noise applies taunt after noah due to slower CS% and also p2 is further away than p1 = noise taunt priority
there's also helm treasured anyway
Taunt isn’t a problem here since scar blanc aren’t rls. I think it’s rh cover hit + feed
Or CS
is noah/noise linked with jackal btw?
that could also be, but let's start from fixing what can be fixed
we've no clue what opponent OLs are
It looks like jackal would be linked with rap and RH, although I've never been sure if attack OLs play a role or if its base ATK
it does
atk% OL count toward total atk%, which then leads to who jackal is linked with
if your p1 and p2 aren't linked, you get 0 feed
opponent meanwhile gets feed for sure due to scarlet in p1, unless they're bricking her with helmT stealing it together with RH
but then you'd have killed scarlet, so unlikely
the easist solution in this cases is to assume opponent is on 2.5RL at the minimun, just go 2RL or 2.5RL noah
so swap rap with my treasure helm maybe? I was planning on that at first but figured the healing would help (since I thought it was 3rl vs 3rl)
not a fan of that team tbh
you're bursting with RH B3 against an indom scarlet
if you get locked onto p1, it's over.
Watch this RH B3 against indom scarlet
I see. I'll give that SBS comp a try, would romani over Anis be better?
yes that works too
i suggest this one, way safer:
mine was counting on noise surviving 2RL, which was fairly close due to rosanna pressure
you don't have to deal with a rosanna here
an alternative would be a 2RL buffed cindy nuke
something like this
omg that's a liter with s.anis 
utterly bricked
and indomless scarlet 
This worked, thanks!
end their suffering
noise can be replaced with biscuit if you want extra safety
It's pretty common to use XAnne... Provide their Anis and Jackal having charge speed.

that's one of the weakest scarlet teams i've seen tho
no rosanna pressure, no 2RL, no indom
anis also tanks CP partially
even if they're promoted to 2RL, you'll get noah absorbing the nuke
I used to see that team killed 2RL Scarlet+Blanc before Blanc could even burst lol ... Just a matter of investment
Ded from counter buffed by RH...
oh but that's a different story
Team only a bit above 2.5rl.
On it , thanks 
looking for suggestions on how to improve these teams for sp defense (no mana or helm treasure)
I mean the XAnne team being 2.3-2.4rl and the Scarlet+Blanc team being exactly 2rl.
Their RH trigger before your Blanc and your Scarlet ded by counter. You could ask LD for that experience...
It's a team that solely relies on scar nuke not getting blocked
yolo
Scar/X.Anne comps do exist out there
they're good enough, replace anis with helmT and replace noir asap with RH or a non feeding flex
T3 could use a backup B1 or a biscuit tho, you're relying a lot on that rumani surviving
u see the issue with RH is my burst gen is slower
Don't have rumani remember 💀
🧱
me
time to unleash your anis
i have death wish
Using RH just makes it a standard 3RL team, nothing different
maybe its the cp difference that noir provide but from my testing i cant burst fast enough compared to with noir in the team
ensure scarlet is 1st or 2nd highest atk% (atk% OL included)
Noir likely just makes it 2.5RL or something, not much of a diff and it's a much weaker team compared to Scar/Blanc/RH
2 AR and shotgun feed is death sentence
but anis makes this 2.5?
it does not, i suggest you get yourself a calculator so you can easily find out

Create and share a GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE deck
Ez , thanks , guy was below CP but I wanted to make sure want to put your def teams to good use
suggestions?
(actually defended once vs the guy I attacked on spot 10 but the guy attacked me again and won and he gemmed to get to a higher spot after lmao)
yellow teams are ok-ish, red one is one of the most safe, while also increasing speed
FAQ
-# How to navigate the pins.
-# * click/tap the pinned message. Hitting "Jump" will take you directly there
1. How to ask for team-building help
Please include screenshots of your roster from the Nikke tab on the home screen and sort by power as the bare minimum. We prefer screenshots in horizontal mode (Settings>Graphics>Screen Mode>Horizontal). We are limited to 4 image attachments for each message as per server settings.
- It will give the best representation of your investments for everyone to cook teams for you. Otherwise you may not get the response you're looking for
Providing your current teams will also help others give an idea to cook something other than what you're using
2. What teams should I make?
Depends on if you're attacking or defending. Optimal Attack teams are going to be different to your optimal Defense teams
- [Some general
propagandateam ideas](#pvp-arena message) by @quick lake - [Some Attack team ideas](#pvp-arena message) by @tropic summit
- it should be noted that these teams are just a starting point to learn and some teams may not work in all situations
3. What units should I focus on?
Nikke.gg's tier list (sorted by PvP) and Prydwen.gg's tier list (sorted by PvP) will give you good idea. As well as [Keripo's index](#pvp-arena message) for a more detailed look
4. PvP Stat Penalty
Like in PvE, Combat Power (CP) stat penalty exists in PvP but the range differs. [Please refer to this handy dandy chart to visualize](#pvp-arena message) by @opaque yacht
- you're looking for a ratio of less than 15.4% to be clear of getting the stat debuff
5. Terminolog
RL
- borrowed from Rocket Launcher and how we measure burst gen speed. A team that can reach Full Burst Gauge when the third shot of "1 second charge time RL" hits, is referred to as a 3RL team. A high speed team is 2RL
Feed - refers to giving burst gen to units when they are hit
Indomitability (Indom) - not the same as Invincibility
- currently the only unit that is able to give Indom is Blanc. Indom means the unit granted that buff cannot be defeated for the length the buff is active and will hover at 1 Health Point
Sustain - refers to the ability to maintain Health over extended periods of time for an individual unit or the team through buffs
6. Weapons
Different weapon types have different Burst Gen rates to each other. The following is the list from highest to lowest:
- Clip Rocket Launcher (Clip RL) -- very high generation
- Clip Shotgun (Clip SG)
- Rocket Launcher (RL)
- Shotgun (SG)
- Sniper Rifle (SR)
- Assault Rifle (AR)
- Submachine Gun (SMG)
- Machine Gun (MG) -- very poor generation
7. Burst Generation (speed)
Burst Gen is one the most defining factors in PvP when team building. In most cases you want to fill your burst gauge bar as fast as possible. Generating burst occurs when Nikkes hit an enemy or cover either through their weapon or skills. Each unit has a base burst gen number that is mostly decided by the weapon they use but other factors can come into play e.g. Harmony Cubes, Skill
- If you'd like to know more please take a look at the [resources in the pins](#pvp-arena message)
- For [Burst Gen Calculators, click here!](#pvp-arena message)
8. Jackal
Why she's widely used in PvP; she is a Clip RL and her Skill 1 and Skill 2.
- Jackal's S1 fills the Burst Gauge 3.55% every time she is hit 10 times
- S2 creates a link to 2 ally units with the highest ATK number and shares damage while also raising the Defense stat of herself and those 2 linked units

cool thanks
something is cooking 
?
@tropic summit u mentioned noir as a feeding flex so theres no good teams for her?
another CS% believer 
my rumani and centi are both 18%CS
my def win ratio skyrocketed since then
noir should be benched on def teams, at best can be used on attack teams where you know you can use her against non-feed comps
also throws sacc team in def and still has really high cp
obviously you can't bench her if you still need SG clip burst gen tiers to hit thresholds
at that point you just assume the risk of being scarlet'ed
rumani gonna be a dps
whel? dolphin?
another few and you can use her in SR
what lines should I get on rumani? maybe some CS and that's it? does she need any specific % or?
CS% atk% elem atk%
my top10 usually are all whales or used to whale, cuz i used to whale
also you already asked before 
then again nikke players not reading is normal 
reading =/= remembering
i see ty for explaining i wonder if 5% cp increase is worth it with noir over the replacement
the only good answer is to go with what gives you the most cp
depends on your opponents, if you starved for CP keep her, if not try to reduce feeding in your teams
aight bet
if you think about perfect effects/lines in a pvp unit you will find many bad situations
ele, cs are safe, but too much damage in one team can be bad against sac comps
or teams that use defender p1 +biscuit (only against RL teams)
no p2 means less burst gen for your team
more cp and you get the win because the cp debuff
who's used for sacc the most in your bracket Nesso? still anis, mast, viper?
yep
anis or viperT
no one used mast in my brackets
my sac comps were scarlet+SG or different versions of SG rosanna
remind me why viperT specifically? 
more cp
and water code i guess
SG water= weak against scarlet
mhm pretty much instant death
she's in p1 even on def teams or is it p2 to prevent burst gen?
p1~p2
depend in the comp, but i saw anis p2 more times since she get 1 RL shot first then die
and without p2=less burst gen* for RL comps
do they actually gear her or remove body/legs?
i don't know
SR stats are not great, OL give more cp and they still can't tank against some cored units
oh oke so probably doesn't matter making her squishy on purpose, since she's already regardless
sac strat go for speed or more damage in rosanna burst
@tropic summit
Could I get some defensive team ideas for Rookie and SP Arena? Also, could I get a few offensive teams recommended for general use cases (like countering most used teams for example)?
wow, now that's some real bricked lad you facing there
somehow he took my chal 7
Forgot to add this too, my bad
his attack team must be stronnger
CP probably, just commited to your 2 weakest teams
surely you used burst gen calculator and checked what you doing right?
also where's your noah at
oh surprisingly actually built teams with a sense 🤔
i should add noahless on my name
you kidding me
i thought you found at least noah 
this one is a simple puzzle @whole pawn , in my SS above what do you see that is a very bad thing?
no noah no crown no noise no rapunzel
we both have same rl, which it shouldnt be happening
not just that, but close
there's 1 major issue in that matchup
what is the 3rd team for reference btw
there is no scarlet in third team
nono you were on point with the 4RL team
2nd team will win that's fine as is leave it alone
focus on 1st team, there's 1 big issue you should see immediatly
well and also tons of atk lines for most of his characters, and maybe 20 cs on emi
so he tossed every single rocks in pvp
real pvp malder
need your rosanna to punish harder

hint: when your cindy bursts, what happens on the other team
So they're pretty good where they're at then?
there might be a bit of nitpicking we can do, let me help the poor crownless lad first
Haha no worries, I can wait 😄
i thint it has to do with noise and reducing dmg or smt? i dont have these units so i dunno, soory
nono this is ABC of pvp you cannot not notice
maybe i m thinking too much mmm
here you go:
your main damage source is absorbed by noah
you should never, ever, run that
that's exactly serving enemy noah what it needs to do
what does noah do? Surely not taunt
oh wow
now i understand why you didn't understand 
don't even know what a noah does 
then what they run against her?
faster nuke that possibly kills them before they can shield it or your own noah to stall it out and outdps afterward
another option would be a counter indom emilia
@tropic summit
tried to p2 sacc his p2 sacc with same rl sacc but for some reason his is way faster
emilia...
yep, not in your cards
so umm what does she do? i mean noah
show 3rd team so we can get the full picture
here, watch what happens to cindy nuke dmg against my team
0 dmg ^
his sacc isnt 2rl even with max skill and landing all his rl splash, and yet quiry sacc and his team is, yes 1.5rl
3 seconds of invincibility
HOW THE F**K?
Absolute hard counter to any aoe nuke
you don't go sac against sac, you use his dead unit in a faster team
what the fk, 0 dmg indeed, no wonder why i loose gainst her
yeah, especially on same RL threshold
NO HE SHOULDNT GET 1.5RL WHEN MY P2 SACC'S
HIS TEAM ISNT EVEN 2RL WITH FEED AND SACC GEN
Is the burst order always left to right even when defending in arena?
i missing a lot of units
teams set on def will go from left to right, correct
Honestly sucks that the snapshotting thing got fixed because now it's back to regular noah counters 
tbh, that was probably unintended in the first place, just took them years to fix
Fair
How about their burst order?
from left to right
But seeing cindy nuke pierce thru noah shield was euphoric
how many hits mast receive??
Phuk you, noah 
Thanks. I’m new to pvp, and its hard to defend in special arena
so just confirming, helm is treasured on at least stage 2 and s1 lvl 10 correct?
Is anybody else having issues with viewing the battle in special arena? Mine always skips despite having quick battle toggle off.

I see x.maiden not synced
This the message i get every time
1, full hp to death instant
3RL comp+2sac is already that fast
@whole pawn so, where's the other 3rd team? 
jackal+xanne hit, rosanna feed on scarlet
makes absolute 0 sense his team cant be 1.5 rl when i sacc
I screenshoted T1 and T3
T2 didn't took a picture
but it had scar jackal blanc Rh and someone else I forgot
anyway I won , if I loose I will take screenshots again
Yes that is correct for all
probably won by CP difference at least, their noah team was rather low
uh ok then yes can be updated a bit
yeah, he didn't change his def team
how invested is your reiT? @worthy jasper
I just started working on her but she's got a collection item and is 4/4/4 until I figure out which skills will help her best
oke, if you decide you wanna run her for pvp 1/1/7 is actually enough, you can go 4/4/7
going to need to raise her CP aswell so at least 4 OL on lvl 0
since you're short of nuke oriented B3s, she'd boost your def quite a bit
I plan to use her with Asuka in AI so she will definitely be built for that. Eventually I'll get her more OVL but I'm starving for some modules atm
She's 4/4/7
jesus christ his 3rl b3 is faster then my 10% 3rl b1
oh wow nice
I had exactly enough Burst books for it haha
I need more Burst manuals. I have plenty of code manuals
nah those are all bs no one convincing me that hes getting black blue cs lines for all those
he dont even have those cs on 3 months ago before regroupping
a plan for you, ideally:
-build/wishlist: noah, biscuit, blanc, RH, rumani, laplaceT
aim then toward the medium term plan, T3 and T1 only change them if CP is not killed in the process
can some1 cook the best pvp def team rn, got helm treasure
no lap treasure
sp arena
neither the 1.5rl against sacc makes any numerical sense nor this
refer to these:
Oh wow, thank you for this! I will start working on this. Noah, RH, and Rumani are currently on my wishlist and Laplace is ready for her treasure P3 once I get 2 more copies of her
double sacc with revive 
thinking of this cuz his team is impossible to get 1.5rl when i sacc, what if theres a bug that makes his rosa sacc trigger twice
Why is there a defense and a attack team? When you are defending and attacking does something change?
...
defense team needs to be universal and not chesse, atk team can just cheese and counter their def
and sg sr taget differently, but the target part isnt nearly as important as the above reason
defense teams can be countered, while on attack you can tailor your offense to the enemy weaknesses
hence defense teams should consider what opponents may be running against you and forcing their hand accordingly, while on attack you want to commit to the 2 weakest enemy teams
weakest doesn't mean less CP, but just that you can counter better
rail u still have any idea why his sacc is 1.5 rl there
my rosanna is 1/1/1 and my experience with sacc is rather poor so far
let's ask the experts on the field
@worthy knoll @coarse lake @lone sequoia any of you can help TiBi figure out the sacc speed there? 
reference: #pvp-arena message
i'd only imagine a bug there triggering his sacc more then once
Cindy is so over powered in PvP. like damn even red hood can't compete with that.
she just nukes everything even if you reach burst at the same time
Where?
Level 1 mast?
yeah lemme clip it
Or low sync Mast?
both p2 lv 1
yep she seemed to have died in 1 hit
and his team still burst before my second 10cs rl shots
Lets see
hold on
🍿
I just realized I wasn't updating my defense team so my current defense team is like 2 weeks out of date.
Is your Rosanna S2 maxed?
nope, but didnt explain why he get to burst that early
It could have been, what is your S2 lvl?
7
well my issue is his sacc shouldnt be 1.5-2 rl to begin with
since my sacc also sabotaged his gen
and only his p2 died

thank you @worthy knoll 
always learning something new from unexpected loss
well makes it valuable at least
xd
now i get the no sacc vs sacc
tho imma just make it actal same rl with extra sacc 
Got everyone but Mana, any suggestions for changes or does this look good?
Moran/Biscuit/SAnis/Centi/Rumani
Noise/Noah/Cindy/THelm/xMaiden
Scarlet/Blanc/RH/Emilia/Jackal
Strange Cindy isn't SSS in PvP considering if her burst skill goes off it's over. I assume it's because her burst charge speed is slow?
These are the general attack teams that I am using, but I'm thinking that the last team needs to be modified. Could I swap in Helm on that team and take out Blanc to make it a better team (3RL)? Or are these teams too spread out?
because cindy can be countered, just like any other nuke
no, you make 2 attack teams not 3.
Your best bet is to make a 3RL scarlet team and a 2RL reiT team
Oh right, duh. You only need 2 wins
Yeah all you need is noah.
It doesn't matter if my burst charge was just as fast as theirs, the stun lock and damage was too much from cindy.
if you don't have noah, your best choice is to skip that team or kill them before they can burst, viceversa kill their B1s at the very least and prevent cindy B3
alternative would be an equal speed indom strong B3
emilia, sbs, scarlet, rrh
No SAnis in the biscuit team?
you don't have the right nikke to properly use s.anis
I assume Noah?
best you could do an indom s.anis, but your current options are probably way more easy to learn
get familiar with these 2 nukers then you could consider her when the right scenarios happens
Alrighty, thank you for the help!
yes, a team like these ones
Ohh nice!
indom s.anis showcase
It's crazy to see one unit dominating a whole team
blanc applies indom to lowest HP besides herself on cast
as long as you ensure the unit you want matches the condition, you end up with that
Good to know for both campaign and PVP
I don't want to see Emilia anymore.
Hitting 3 characters with splash is not okay. 
if only that was the issue
good that shes water code
@tropic summit centi/mast/cindy/rosa/mana the double sacc comp
wants omega amount of centi cs to be as annoying to break as possible
use a bit of resource and can force some and perhaps baiting
tbh it should be really broken before cindy bug fix
my rosanna comps are far away still, once i'll step in that field i'll be able to relate 
top dog in my bracket is the only one with an actually built rosanna
then again it's a full fledged whale, so prolly doesn't count
he'd have probably even isabel built 10/10/10 max OL SR15 max affection c7
yeah rip your nero indefinite delay
then there's that too
nero moran quiry helm flex... so far away 
i find that thing with ReiT more interesting, since we lacked iron code proper counters in a while
far enough for me as well they are all 1/1/1 except helm
might as well protest book shortage instead of coping reset
Why stall or weird gimmicks when big damage do trick?
depends on later synch and that whole thing with def scaling better than atk later down the road
ca & sync
I don't see it making that much of a diff
if lvl locked that won't be a problem 
because is fun, you can see +1min of chibi pew pew instead of 4sec screams
the nero cat sounds is something else
and matches lasting minutes
2-3 burst cycles... true 🍿
slower nikke torture instead of instant
Hahahah makes totao sense
It is
Some people put noah P3 so emi hits 4

5
Even better

because you can counter her with og rei + makima + cindy if theres no cp gap
funny sh*t
@keen vapor sry i felt asleep. This is my target help me guys. Just don't have Anne
yeah noway in hell i can retain that spot, i'm CP gapped on my meta teams with full invest 
just bully as long as i can before they hit 421
teki not daijobu
it is war 
oh ye SBS carried me on 14% deficit
against that lad
I lose a lot of cp running her here, so I'll just see how far I can get before I get my own episode of Haikyuu
aka. the volleyballs again
oh it is time uh
yeah 33-5 was annoying as they have a lot of stuff just to instantly kill you as well, and it was the first volleyball stage
21% deficit malder Hippo 
21% isn't that high I was malding mostly near 35% 😄
are you building your alice btw?
30-35% a lot of the time
she is OK but not amazing, need more rocks, I just using on SBS for now
most investment went to cindy + rh
my hard mode is harder malding
I can see the boss though

it was MC and then the volleyballs that slowed down normal a bit 😄
Opponent P1 Jackal. Ur Rosanna mega feeds
feeds 10 bullet doesn’t make it 1.5rl but the mutual sacc

I’m saccing his sacc, we neither get p2 gen or rl gets splash p2 gen, and Rosa 10th hit dispels feed, it has nothing to do with the one single feed but Rosa getting 70%+percent from both sacc
Yeah, but Im just saying CN likes to counter Rosanna with P1 Jackal 
im at the booss
i like cn people, they are creative
T1: taunter + biscuit + sustain (video is a 5RL team)
T2: 2RL indom SBS or 2RL SBS/s.anis/RRH with noah
T3: any 2RL noah variation, non feeding (noah biscuit sbs anis(helmT/centi) rumani)
(obviously pick 2 teams only)
showcase videos attached
@shell hazel might motivate you in getting SBS built
I see ch 17 hard mode boss, hf with that stinky sinister, don't dps too fast at the end, otherwise it will nuke you multiple times in a row and you die 
why is rail awake
what are the best 3 teams i can build with these units for pvp ? thanks
Can reference here: #pvp-arena message
yes but when RH

rumani and anis have the same burst gen then?
14.2 per rl for anis/jackel, 13.8 per rl for centi, 13 per rl for rumani
Whales can bleed. What a great day
Is it worth lvling gear for Noah and jackal after OL or nah? (Ping is fine)
No
si
but thats up to you
optional. Maybe until lv 2-3 is fine. Mine is maxed 
its fine until tryhard 14.5% deficit spend rocks on dethroning you
then your options are cp padding or climb.
or be very skillful in def team building.
sorry for the late response, just hopped on the game. thank you so much for the advice, i went ahead and changed my teams, this is what the auto button did for my 2nd team but was wondering if i should swap out modernia for s2 drake treasure for the burst gen. makes a cp difference of around 10k
also, if i read your table right, would these be my future teams to build? i dont have helm built at all yet and put rh in the emi team in centi's spot because she was listed again on the cinderella team
well I did have at least a little window before I shot back down 
makes me feel like maybe I shouldn't have made a global account if I'm never attacked by anyone in North America

Nahh she isnt OL , low skill level and l5 blue doll 💀💀💀 she is on my priority list now that i got s3 drake a few days ago
Help requested building 3 pvp teams for SP Arena
Roster:
Current teams:
I haven't won a battle in SP arena for a while now...
need to wait for 1 day just for 1
Crown Biscuit SAnis Pepper Rumani
ScarletBS Blanc Marciana Jackal Noir
Tia Noise Anis RH BSoda
Scarlet Blanc RedHood BSoda Jackal
Centi Biscuit Cindy Rapipi Anis
Tia Grave XMaiden Rapunzel Drake
You should start preparing Helm for Treasure (Level 15 SR Doll, 2 Star Helm, Bond level 30), she'll be very useful once you treasured her (PvE and PvP wise)
went to sleep after tho 
yes table on the left is your current teams that can be run, table to the right the nikke you should aim toward to, table right below that one is further improvements/nitpicking
yes you can use drakeT instead of moderina in that CP pad team
g'morning good sir! I am still working on it she's good anyway, just I was delaying it as I didn't need her until chap 33 😄
tough one? I should be able to reach it soon. I can't remember chapter 17 boss that well
I don't know how hard the volleyballs get from here but I've made it this far
OL 3rd bit on SBS next but it won't be ready today even with full burst, maybe couple more days, should have all 4 bits OL by next weekend
5hrs of ch1 and still ch2, i've been spared ?! is this the birth of an alliance?
Surprise backstab by Creed(fellow ENG) in the meanwhile, then again the dude logs in once a day then calls it,
They won't even need 300gems with all they've spent on this 
that c4 either lazy or bad at pvp
he just barely checks pvp arena, but also yeah not particularly strong teams, he's the typical stack CP and if it works it works
hitting ch1 from ch2 made no sense, but owe him for saving me in a sense 
creed will be coming for ya 😄
he already played 2hrs ago, he's gonna check in around 16hrs-20hrs if he keeps his routine
objective of this season would've been prevent china ch1 but i doubt i can rely on him... the other dude is german and avoids fighting anything that doesn't put him out of ch2-ch3
they'll probably secure it for another 3 months, again 
i'd prefer they fought each others than hitting on the underdogs, but then again 
like when we took out ch1 as ch2, as you say makes no sense except you can, so you do 😄
did u screenshot every part and attached them?
ch4 hit me yesterday and failed twice
testing the waters and gave up without gemming 
my nemesis is gathering their strength (aka buying levels to get 261)
they might make a move after that if it bumps their cp more
attempts gone
This guy have like 20+ sync above everyone else
level gap is definitely an effective defence tactic
mirror match
Yet he's not very pvp guy from his investment
is this winnable?
yep gotta prepare 😄
that just means he's not f2p though
if they get strong enough to take hold ch1 I can just chill in ch2 anyway I think, not the end of the world 😛
but I'll be a nuisance as long as I can
is this winnable? aside from cp difference
I did win and take C1 from him
T1 has deficit, but still made it
depends on invest difference and crit rate on a mirror match such as that, as both s.anis will try to kill each others post noah shield
I didn't know Crit rate matters on this game
in a mirror match such as that sure does
crit rate also matters on scarlet and rosanna, as that may or may not lead to a lethal
mmmm I think this is why it's rare to see a mirror match
no, mirror matches can be too much RNG in the first place, gambling when you could take a solid plan instead is just lazy thinking
Fr
may I ask what kind of nerf she got?
Previously I use Cindy to fight T2, and they don't die from her Nuke coz the deficits
snapshotting got fixed, no longer bypass noah shield
the 0 DMG Cindy incident
that's not an incident, that's inteded
I can't beat noah teams
what is not intended is that you burst with cindy on 2RL, noah casts shield on 2.5RL, cindy still gets through shield
**that **is what got fixed
can i please get some team recomendations for sp arena?
the teams i have been good for a while but have not been updated in a while (first pic)
i have most of the nikkes and laplace, helm and drake treasures
@tropic summit Do you have recommendation to beat this aside from ScarJack and Mirror?
"Don't fix anything if it's not broken", you don't need to update team if it's works tbh
-emilia 3RL (indom or with noah and single buff RH)
-scar jack
-6RL cindy (stalling post noah shield)
-rosanna + noah (force their cindy to be the B3 and absorb nuke), needs investiment
as a noahless player, I truly suffer against noah players
i need a maid like cocoa
6RL smells like Quiry Rapunzel Noise team
I knew it... No wonder my CN whale gave up because dude doesn't gem.... Could have hitting along side me so the dude waste at least 200 gem a day though... Zzz
Kinda when you do not have strong fire units

expecting a minimun of brain for these ppl on these brackets it's like asking for a miracle 
I think the main issue lies in the fact that they've absolutely no interest or clue anyway. If you s**t gems out of your rear at the single swipe of a card, why should it matter to them 
wow all CPs close to each others minus ch1 
My new bracket is pretty funny. A 1.2m dude is at c5-7 amidst the 1.5m... Pretty weak bracket this time around... Half of competitive dudes in my old bracket isekai'ed so not much pressure now.
Only new challenge is the one gemmer lol.
Yeah I found me an Echo's groupie...
Yeah, C1 is 404 but the rest does not even try
Indeed, nobody has tried their luck on me since season started besides being al close in cp
C3 is 361 but his cp is low
You give me 361 boost and i would be like 1.8 or so
My gemmer at 364 is only 100k lower than your whale (one PvE CP press team though...)... My CN whale at 395 is 2m+... 
Your guys are pretty chill.
C3 POV: why should i atk you, the reward is same. 
Yeah, probably there with your Arena investment. 
For fun, he used to do that when we were at early 200s, i was c1 and him c2, daily he was doing 1 atk
But he is old.now, no time for funny things
The whale kinda low also, 1 cp pad team and the rest decent
I would start making the gemmer losing more gem after I get to 361. 
As dude is only 10 level above me. 
any current collab character is worth to pull for PVP ?
rei is worth
it's the first screen wipe wind code
thank you
What does epinel do
She got D? 
Poke with 🛹
Unfortunate
With Deez
Do you know how to stack the guys in your bracket and find their Blabla?
@waxen tartan I'm bored and ch3 is messing with me, i'm gonna mess with you on ch1 
then i'll stay in c2
