300%, same as Thermite B
Cindrella Burst name: Beautiful
- Increases team JPS (Jiggles Per Second) by 200%
- Does nothing else
Rip fps
she will be a b1-3 like rh most likely
What’s the standard SG team again?
Tove, Leona, Bunny Soda, Bunny Privaty, Bunny Alice?
Does Viper change this at all?
Healerless Tove, Viper, Leona, Bunny Soda, Bunny Privaty? 👀
That’s a maximum of 4 SGs in the team
Tove value
Probably can just outright replace Leona with Marciana if you need heals, or is that bad?
I think bAlice fits the role perfectly in SG team, but then she is a re-enter unit too.
Unless if using the treasue p2 only
If you don't need heals I think Viper > Balice
Depends how much damage boss deals
If water weak dunno if Viper & Marciana > Balice & Leona or not
Actually would probably do Viper & Rem lol
viper does covers the dmg lost from leona buffs and if you need heals, you can just use marciana. thats what i do anyways
Viper gives more elemental flexibility to the SG team. That's mostly how I use her.
I usually kick out BAlice for her.
Viper ain't shit with b.alice 
It's impossible to use her that way
We've seen that the SG team can survive when it's fully dolled up
So the way to go is to essentially go healerless
Tove viper b.soda mPriv leona
Doll up all 3 DPS, maybe even Leona, and we have ourselves water sg team
If we plan to separate Doro priv from crown, we can add viper to crown team like
DWife viper Alice SBS crown
Cuz if we use Doro, then priv is necessary and viper can't fit in the team
My assumption is these will be the teams
For phase 2 viper, I suppose viper will be able to slot in over Leona as he here with b.alice tho
@short wadi still wanna now the missions for it? I will go phase 3
not needed
there's replay available now
Should be pinned now anyways
Doesn't that mean you can't cycle burst?
@misty sigil can your comp around viper reach higher score in Harvester than other comp without Viper? Im wondering about her damage comparing to other b3 dps with and without her
Huh wdym
You would burst with viper 
which comp?
Any harvester comp that use Viper
I finally got both porno disc and choo choo do i get viper next i heard theres new treasures
New treasures should be January afaik
viper because next is water weak raid
but i don't think you can phase 3 her when solo raid up
then what do u want me to do for other comp
So lets say:
Crown-Liter-Xlud-Sbs-Naga
Vs
Viper-Liter-Xlud-Sbs-Crown
I think the second one might die mid way also 
dkw, crown, viper, rh and maxwell work also really well
just replace liter with rouge
Switch Liter for Rogue for survival
Oh, ninja'd

That cut so much dps away though, but maybe it work? Rouge heal? 
she "heals"
she increases max hp but once it runs out the base hp stays higher
lets say your at 50/100 hp, she buffs max hp by 20% so now your at 70/120. when the buff runs out your at 70/100
doesn't count as healing thought so it doesn't trigger crowns buff
still 100% more dps then being dead
I had that with this UR, against the lvl 10 rebuild spook my liter team died halway in but rouge let me survive and kill him despite only being 282
ill see what i can do
@unique mason
crown died w 10s left in viper run mid burst, so didnt really lose any dmg, and sbs died at 5s left
then idk if its fair in my case comparing my xlud to my viper 
considering the massive investment difference
well if xlud had the same investment viper had, xlud would defo do more, but then this isnt a team you would use viper in for her optimal team
quite a significant difference
vipers optimal team would be tove, viper, bsoda, mpriv and crown
for the record
or swap mpriv for xlud
That team in Harvester?
sbs died because AoE laser?
cant remember, but think so
ill do that later
investment and fps
i can't run nikke 60fps on my PC
i need better PC to test running
Just wait until Phantom is out to replace SBS 
as if 
You think I'm not serious 
Cant
Phantom DD is bound to burst
Phantom would also be shooting the mobs herself
Isn't better quency?
That logic works for all units but Phantom

Phantom deals more damage from hitting multiple targets 
Use both 
i can run 60 fps on my phone, so thats no issue for me
viper > xlud
shes gonna be my highest dmg unit this upcoming solor raid 
by far
@misty sigil if your xlud has 2 more atk lines and 3 ele, i can still see her top another 1b left on the table
Has to leave Viper smoking dust
I use that comp with Doro instead of Liter on Harvester now. It’s risky but they usually make it to the last five seconds before I lose XLud. Viper is there for bonus damage being another sub-DPS.
And I haven’t really reinvested in her since I maxed out her Treasure.
It is a lot of HP management and burst management because Doro remains unable to auto-target Harvester.
cant do my girl like that tho

bit of shooting range rng but seems acceptable at my pisslow investment. slightly greifs your other dps with just how long re-enter takes but crown getting 2 instances of s1 on dps makes it worth. only gets better at higher invest i think. https://i.imgur.com/LkYndGF.png
prob better on sg team though
did they say that on a dev note or is it speculation?
They're doing three treasures every six months, and Viper's was July
Forget if the confirmation of six months was patch notes or dev notes

there's a survey
- 1 treasure every 2 months, or
- 3 treasures every 6 montsh
Yes, and the survey results were 6 months
I was very unhappy when they announced that, so I remember it well
[Favorite Item Release Cycle Change]
The current Favorite Item release plan was to update the character's one Favorite Item every two months. However, based on your feedback from the recent survey, we plan to change the Favorite Item release cycle to approximately 3 releases within about six months.
Through this adjustment, we hope to secure more time for obtaining Favorite Items and Nikke's growth currently available.
We at GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE will always listen to the opinions of our Commanders and do our best to make it a better game. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the many Commanders who provided their valuable opinions through the survey.
Otherwise we would've gotten a treasure this month
so next treasure will be january with new pilgrim
I like having "waves" 
rapunzel treasure with skin gacha
I don't. The units will compete for treasure upgrade mats

thats why they did 6 months, so we have time to get other treasures first
and you can now trade in old mats for different ones too
rario of 5:1
if you maxed phased them tho
i think people rather give doll and upgrade those 'meta nikke' than obliged to treasure nikke every 2 months
as upgrading dolls is super RNG
so most people choose 6 months in the surveys because they want to upgrade 'meta nikke' first
Missing my point
that too
When those three come out, you have to choose one
Either way, you're slaving away at a treasure for two months
Now you have to hope you picked the right one for the next solo raid
ah, i can understand that then
after i get frima max, im just gonna collect the random boxes
and hope i get lucky with the new mats
Probably gonna be a season 2 box to collect and the ones we have now won't help 
dispatch refresher
we already had season 2
Which got changed

Oh, says 1&2 on the spare body one 
I've never chosen the random box dispatch, so not actually sure what it's called
But we'll have more than enough time to collect all of the treasure upgrade mats needed for the current five treasure units before the next wave
to treasure phase 3 you need 160 items
dispatch gives you 3/day so ideally you need 54 days, with bonus from solo raid could be at least 50 days
but not every nikke need phase 3 treasure so you can skip them
Have 215 days between May 31st and Jan 1st
Need 270 for phase 3 on all
So I guess we'll be a bit short depending on solo raid luck
but yeah, not all need Phase 3
Laplace and Diesel Phase 3 are
iirc
lets be honest, we probably will get a treaure for the anni, maybe for an underused pilgrim
rapunzel can still get her youth form so maybe isabel or haran
Doubt
Nah
they will focus everything on Cinderella
And most probably she'll be the next big powercreep
Like red hood killing difficult in Interception EX
new doll upgrade variation for Pilgrims, heretic drives
Then go super dark and cause all of the Pilgrims to gradually get corrupted
everything is ok for me, just don't pull double pilgrim banner

Personally I can't MLB double pilgrim rn
yeah SI nowadays is joke
AI fix this with ele shield + bonus damage to ele weak nikke
I’m getting phase 3 on all shortly after SR19
so in a month and a half unless I’m giga unlucly
Neutral DMG is kek rn
pilgrim banner just claim from mileage and call it a day
and usually dev gives you 1 pull per day (in annivs)
that's why new nikke evolves around elemental for DPS
this make support nikke is stinky, as no one can't beat Crown
If your RNG is really good, you probably want more treasures. If your RNG is exceptionally bad, like mine, you're still struggling to get a third SR doll to level 15
Exia has failed nearly every maintenance kit.
gimmicks like 'follows milestone' blabla
Bro reverted negative clause with another negative clause
Yeah characters like Ein+Sanis can't be beaten by neutral DMG even from stronger characters like SBS
treasure isabel 

Helps that Electric is getting ATK buff stacks while Fire gets strong element buffs
Electric probably the best brute force element
treasure for DPS is good as meta defining for nowadays around elemental
but for support could be doomed, powercreeped easily
sg comp is goated
Given how bad my luck has been, I will be unlikely to ever catch up on Favorite Item progress.
Nah iron still in the throne
All of our water DPS units are super selfish
electric faces same fate of water
lack of dpses
??
new electric nikkes mostly support, only ein is dps
Electric has the best comp Ein+Sanis
Electric has more DPS than Wind and Water
Ein, S Anis, Exia+, Scarlet, Guillotine
privaty
Ah yeah, and M Priv
still dont have ein 
Fuck SG again XD
Wind is still just SBS and S Sakura with arguable Noir and Guilty
last mirror raid
- ein + sanis (exia included)
- naga with liter buff
- mpriv shotgun
- scarlet
- guillotine
Water getting a little more healthy with X Lud, Rem, Quency, Phantom
Electric has more DPS units than Iron, honestly
Iron is really just SW, Maxwell, and RH
With copium Laplace
crappy
If we're talking full mono-element comp, Iron > Electric > Wind > Fire > Water probably when neutral
Water has no synergy whatsoever 
Even with new units
viper too
yeah iron can made liter - crown - red hood - maxwell/SW + helm
literally in viper thread 
shows how much I've used her up until now
isnt mari second best now if crown in other team?
Talking mono-element
fire lacks of B2
you want run bay or nihilister
ah ic
Fire also stacks strong element bonuses, meaning not good for neutral
id argue water is 3rd best 
doro, viper, rem, xlud and priv
Volume/Blanc/SBS/SSakura/Noir 
thats 2nd
sbs carry hard tho
I should test now 
i dont have ein to test, but i can test every other team
Ah wait, I don't have Viper treasure yet 
My Ein is 94% ele 0% ATK, so she'll suck for neutral 
S Anis x4 ATK tho 
Actually, I should sleep rather than continue to derail the thread 
If I can get good RNG, should have Viper treasure before SR 
Though phase 3 may be late 
my viper phase 3 will be ready at day1 solo raid
I'll be relying on the solo raid drops, sadly
i have like 80 items
80/110
Guess I'll just use ghetto SG comp with no-burst Viper 
I should've delayed Frima

Sad that we can't convert treasure upgrade mats until after we've gotten Phase 3
Otherwise I'd convert away all of my Frima mats 
I have been saving 1200 tickets for this day
or c7 cinderella
Need 2200 for C7 
You need 1000 more tickets
c8
yes

you know how much it sucks getting a pilgrim you already have maxxed from mold?
after getting no ssr in the last 5 molds 
Amico c8 doesn't exist
no but if it would I have it
About as much as having my knee scraped?
I pulled a total of 12 crowns
8 during her banner and 4 after she left
and yet my rh and sbs are still lb0
its core 7 bruh
its mlb (max limit break) then core 7
😭
does viper need max ammo on her OL?
i have 2 max ammo, 2 ATK, and 2 Ele on Viper
is that enough?
but my ele is bad, only 23+13
Hit Rate? 
I guess it’s all the same for trifecta
Any secondary stat works, and hit rate probably best one for flexibility because it prevents situations where Viper significantly sucks at small medium range enemies.
Hit Rate = Crit Rate = Crit Damage, probably
Or even long range enemies
This is enough if you want to settle and run on to something else
so she can reach 90% without other units
hitting core most of the time is a big dmg buff
but yeah, crit rate is also nice, seeing orange numbers on the burst is a huge dopamine rush
Skill Investment:
4/4/4 -> 7/4/7 -> 10/7/10
Overload Investment:
4 × Hit Rate
4 × Elemental
4 × ATK
Acceptable: Ammo
taken from prydwen
10/10/10 
but i would agree on a serious note
maybe like 1 or 2 ammo max is needed
but its not essential like the other stats
crit chance is also nice for that dopamine on seeing orange numbers
thought hitting the core with most pellets at 10 s2 and 4 hit rate OL is even better
once we get a unit that buffs reload speed and can be always played with viper then we would be in a great spot without it
rouge is preatty much the perfect b1 for the dot team, now all we need is another strong b3 that buffs the reload or even mag size like noir and we are set for raids
make her water so we have a team that can be used for 2 different elements
S2 for hit rate
10 10 10
not seeing Viper much yet tho in SR 
so 4/4/4 -> 7/7/7 -> 10/10/10 ?
10 7 10 then 10 10 10 for the hit rate last
I would like to point out that the hit rate gain between 4 and 10 is miniscule, its a 7,4% difference so leveling that skill is far from a priority for accounts that have other units to build
bsoda only has 1 ol so the comparrison isn't the best but how well did viper do in your sr teams?
My Viper absolutely carried my crown team
Lemme see if I've got a screenshot
I do not
But she was equal with my main DPS for that team
Also without her I wouldn't have had 5 water Nikke without separating Doro and Privaty lol
Or taking a dust collector like Helm
I think that team was something cursed like Volume/Viper/Crown/S.Anis/OG Scarlet
for me she saved the entier raid since my quency has no t9 gear and my other 2 teams couldn't even reach phase 2 of the fight because I couldn't destroy the last part
am i stupid or this dmg doesnt add up
i think its because soda and priv have aoe bursts, so every time they burst, it removed the flying objects and that counts as dmg
yeah thats ~ 2,18 lol
AoE Damage dealt to bombs
ohh
Viper's damage is pure raw damage output
makes sense
But Bsoda and mPriv have inflated damage
that makes viper even more impressive
thats a total of ~ 400m dmg from the bombs
sodas actual dmg is probably around 500m and mpriv around 400m
viper is just the goat
Is Viper good now?
what about this lets you think otherwise
always was just required actual testing to see that her DPS is just as strong as other B3s with phase 3 treasure
it was previously assumed she was bugged on release, had to wait 50 days to find out it wasnt bugged, it requires phase 3
since she isnt bugged, she is best sg for water weak bosses 
good for us, there is an sg team waiting for her, but she can realistically fit in any team as a dps since she is re-enter b2
essentially, she is a dps strictly for water weak bosses
Nihilister fight. Health is low because I didn't bother covering during her breath attack lol
All roughly equal investment
Emilia being #1 vs Nihilister is no surprise, Viper doing more damage than XLud is pretty good considering she doesn't give as decent buffs
Or more specifically, debuffs
your tests were on mobile thought, cluds dmg on pc should be roughly double that
X Lud is also nerfed a lot by lack of core
Oh yeah that's a good point
how lol
my samsung galaxy s24 ultra is locked at 30
Did you check your ingame settings?
My Samsung A54 can run the game on 50ish to 60 fps

I'm using an Asus ROG phone
Dunno what to say other than 60fps is an option in the graphics settings lol
Burns through battery insanely fast but is otherwise fine
Are all those viper treasure doing 4B on Rapi Crown Helm teams have 4x atk and 4x ele or just 4x attack's fine.
Is her treasure just that damn good?
Idk but I assume she's given carry treatment. x4 atk, x4 ele. She's an attacker, and in a Crown team will always receive Crown's "if they bursted, give them atk buff" proc
And no on "that damn good" - in the end she's only in water raids
She did 500 mil at phase 3 for me with +0 T9Ms and 4/4/4
She hits like a truck when paired with Crown in water raids
Re-Enter means she piggybacks on Crown's S1
whats the overload effects on that
1st viper, 2nd helm, 3rd xlud
damn thats heavy investment.
thanks
I hope you show us how much you did on this solo raid with your viper and her team
sure, gonna do it later today sometime, i got 5 teams but gonna look at data and boss mechanics first to double check
im going all into water, wish i done it sooner, but started few months ago
Viper's the only relevant water unit that's still uninvested for me 
Was actually planning to invest in her, but seamaids happened
fair
i tried getting them but couldnt get anchor
150 pulls and didnt get her and still havent
only unit im missing too
didnt fully know mechanics of snake as this was my first run against it, but this is the results afer 2.5 mins
clearer image
could easy get 3b
full 3 min run
Looks pretty good to me, very nice
Aside from RRH, this is perhaps the most ideal comp for boosting Viper as much as you can in a single target water raid when no core. Idk if overstacked though, but overstack is cozier
Are you bursting first with Chudmilla? Try using Helm instead since she does higher damage.
Maybe you can squeeze some more
But thats nice numbers to see
My Viper just wont upgrade her doll now on SR13, driving me nuts
yep
I could try that later
who else? liter?
Liter is better steroid for Helm iirc due to shorter length higher buffs
since Helm's damage is largely front-loaded in the early nuke
Meanwhile SBS and Alice deal consistent damage through their bursts, making Rapi better there
Plus MGs are superfuel for Grave's burst gen buff
ye
can liter keep up with burst gen?
Aside from delay on the second burst, Liter has the best cdr in the game 
Grave pumps out higher burst gen than Helm does with MGs in the team 
so you think ill get a higher score using liter over rapi?
I think so, but investment always results in differences 
Could be worth a mock, at least
Is a sustain damage team any good in terms of solo raid even in neutral elements? Can it beat like SG team or bunny jk teams?
Only Summer Rosanna and Bready deal significant Sustained Damage afaik
The incoming Mihara: Bonded Chain may be another Sustained Damage carry
(We haven't seen her kit yet)
Which is to say, building another team around Sustained Damage without any of those two (or three if Mihara BC is great at it), results in a trash Sustained Damage team

so... whats your take
bros hiding his synchro levels
Good news, Mihara BC is in fact a massive sustained dmg carry unit. You can probably replace that placeholder Mihara with the real Mihara BC and possibly do decent 
As for neutral element or superior to other choices, depends on how OP the new Mihara is and whether that team is suitable for her to shine
If only siren is a good sus buffer the exodia for the b1 cdr sus buffer is complete
Has anyone tried 9 ViperT bursts in a row?
Specifically:
B1 CDR (prob Siren) ->
ViperT with 19+ seconds of CDR, nine times in a row (1 sec CDR is sadly unavoidable) ->
B2 CDR (prob Dolla) ->
B3 of your choice, we have so much CDR and we spend 10 full seconds between B1 and B3 so we only need one B3 for the team probably. XGuillo maybe lol
Not sure I can get it to work with Siren
hang on
redo the whole team
FB ends buffs are useless to us
we need outside FB like DWife
does that even work?
Doro/TViper/Crown/Privaty/Rouge
something along those lines
we're probably still a little short on the CDR since we don't have a B2 CDR who reduces outside of FB
But the idea would be Doro -> TViper x 9 -> B2 -> Privaty
And hope TViper's burst sustain damage stacks nine times
S Elegg almost made it work
counterpoint
i'm missing something 
Catch up
i wish you could sort units by cdr
If we get a few more CDR based on bullets fired
or reloads
we might be able to make an insane TViper team for water raids
bonus points if the DEF down also stacks but that one almost certainly won't
The sustain damage...... mmmmmaybe
i think we're a bit short
If you're actually full bursting, then Siren/S Elegg or Mihara would probably be better than Doro/Priv
If you don't full burst, Privaty is pointless
She only halves ammo during full burst

chat hear me out
I think I have it maybe, actually
please tell me there's another unit that does cdr from shooting
i don't wanna 10/10/10 milk for the meme
Nah, couldn't get it to work
Our cdr units don't have enough synergy with each other 
Siren
Oh waitwut
For some reason I thought her cdr was team shots fired
That was just her S2
Oops
I'll try on my main where I have invested Milk
none of the reload speed buffers work without full burst
Lemme finish my 4th accounts' dailies tho
if i had infinite ammo i could get -14s every 8s which would stop you from dropping burst
reload cube doesn't get 8 shots + reload under 10s because of delay after firing
actually
what if you reroll your dkw rouge and milk to full charge speed
Might as well just go for 4x ammo
My Dolla has 17 ammo iirc
Shame her cdr won't work like DKW/Rouge
with 4x ammo you eventually reload and drop burst
Just have to time it so that Doro covers the difference 
Or extend it so that the drop is after 3m 
I'm gonna let this concept sit on the backburner and come back to it everytime we get a new CDR who isn't burst reliant lol
Viper dmg is trash anw
chat
i had a dream
doro viper chime dkw rouge
second b2 reenter makes sure you don't drop burst
hopefully chime buffs b2 damage and not just crown
