#[A2] New Unit Megathread
1 messages · Page 9 of 1
Let me rephrase the conditions
- 11.67% charge speed from Alice S1
- 4.92% charge speed from 2 OL lines
- 28.74% from lv 5 burst of A2
How long is thay
4.92 * 2 you mean
well sure, let's say it works that way first
so 9.84%
damn this is interesting
let me throw a Maxwell in
a Yuni too for the lmao
shit, max has too high atk ._.
Maxwell: 4.48s CS
Yuni: 4.93% CS
Let's see
I think it multiplies other charge speed buffs
Im gonna wait 2 more mins
try checking a few random bullet, yep each bullet charges 20 frames or 0.333s
No Alice?
Then its true right
Normal maths
Exactly right
11.67+9.41+9.84+28.74=59.66%
still lacks eh
7%

where the hell is this 7%
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
more like 8% but whatever
The non Max Yuni also
didn't have 7%
-8%
Part of B mode
Or animation
yuni here
ah true
non burst takes 54 frames or 0.9s per charge. Pretty true due to almost 10% charge speed
the problem is with mode B
I only check the % man, don't even check animation here 

btw non other CS buff except OL and self
0.582s or 41.8% charge speed
Self CS: 38.58%
So yeah, the more CS I gain, the bigger the diff

Since every sec, it charges for 1.7%
on who?
Alice has 31.51% charge speed. Since her charge time is 1.5s, she should charge at 1.027s for full charge
Her full charge is somewhere between 61 and 62 frames or 1.015 ~ 1.032. Which is pretty true
only A2 has the significant different

Try with sim room buff

Cus her charge speed is 0.9s

Game lied
Or 0.8s
have you rolled any charge speed on her?
can use this to count the frame
that's what I and Kos use to calculate frame stuff
If u do the maths
Her chg time is around 0.83-0.84s on Mode B
I think
Hang on a second
Wait
Maybe the 47% thingy
Lmao
@celest urchin I think it's the 47% thingy
Or no
Idk
It seems to be
I will find some spare time and stack sim room buff
Nah
Yeah Mode B seems to come with self reduction
To charge time
Because 0.83-0.84s fits charge speed well.
Hmmm
Ah yes animation lock
That screenshot
Lmao
Yep
It's fucking multiplier to charge time
Lmao
Which means it isnt active
Before Mode B
How fucking secretive they are
@royal brook the 84% is most likely a multiplier to charge time
Not 0.84s animation
In Mode B, she has a charge time of 0.84s.
Not 1s.
Making charge speed more useless.

And worse
The 47
Tf does that mean
A hidden number

Can you find if chg spd reduces animation time?
for A2? or anyone in general?
A2
The 47% might have been a multiplier to that
As in 50% chg spd, would make it cut down by idk 28.5%?
Doesnt make sense but yeah
still 12 frames from full charge to actually shoots (0.2s)
26 frames to go back to charging (0.433s)
With or without Alice (11.67% charge speed diff)
So 0.433s delay in total?
0.633s
Kinda gay tbf
In Mode B?

yes, 0.633s
from full charge to actually shoot
But
she wastes 0.2s to push the sword then swing
Bruh
Im sure she fires faster than that
Well Idk
Mine is at
25+28% chg spd
So

But she definitely fires fastee than 1s
Per second
Maybe Im just
Wrong
Hahahhahaha
But more chg spd = more burst regen


If I can reach 1s per bar
I can burst 8 times

Jk
Dont
Ideally, that's 2.85s per bar
For 14 bursts
And liter choke exists for the first 2
exactly same frame right. That's 73 frames. 38 frames delay so my charging took 35 frames (which is also correct)

yeah, time between hit for my A2
no Alice, so it's eh 38.35% charge speed
to be kinda same as normal RL

N...

Oh bad maths
Wrong number
ewww healing
🚮
just manual Pepper
ez pz
or use some god damn limited Nikke like Mary
or roll blanc
pretty easy
Bro forgot Helm
Entirely

Or is it cut off
Smh
When Nikke.gg + Prydwen both mention it
I think he put it last
Well Folkwang and Helm are similar

One requires u to burst with Helm, one requires u to burst with Folk
the point is
Helm can't keep A2 in touch

she takes around 15 - 17s to delete herself out of Burst
while Helm requires 40s cd lmao
with the new finding does it change anything?
I can't beat modernia with A2 hahahsha
I don't know how but she makes it a little difficult
Yes... just a little
because youre not supposed to break her wings

Ya, don't use a2 on modernia
I looked up A2 stuff, and the charge animation that was forced on her seems to make it so manual play is barely better than auto. Is this true?
I mean you dont need confirmation for that
Yeha its a pretty shoehorned mechanic to test the waters on rl changes
All itll do is put more emphasis on alice/centi style RLs and put more pressure on them to make sure future units are actually decently designed
All because they dont like people clicking fast
Shift up are kings at creating problems with easy solutions, then creating more problems to fix the problem.
Pretty problematic if you ask me.
I really like using manual to improve DPS/burst gen by fast clicking, so I don't really feel like buying A2 with the golden tickets
A2 currently has the highest theoretical DPS
Much better than Alice and Modernia
Are you sure?

Against what bosses?
barely?

we are talking about 40.88% part dmg bonus on every full charge hit
imagine 1000 part boss
I love seeing Gatrix and Kisenix arguing
you guys always fighting for some reason 
Now kiss 
Sakura gaming*
Holy shit dawg, sakura Emma gaming
Two people who most likely are on the spectrum in some shape or form obsessively theory crafting and crunching numbers typically result in these kinds of interactions. Just take some popcorn and enjoy.

is a2 free train?
she can be
His box is freetrain
all units are free train
my number exactly like hurrdurr, u have cp gap 
Alice full invest manual, A2 have 3 overload skill 5-5-5 

my bad though for bursting with alice first and immediately breaking all 4 parts
yea, nah, still the same shit
CpGapProbie, better use rosanna at this point
https://i.imgur.com/kepYJEM.png https://i.imgur.com/QSCWSSk.png https://i.imgur.com/V3cbQMD.png
full auto, kinda forgot to level A2 skills more though
oh nonono bricked a2
how does A2 perform against solo raid boss?


probie
If they gave Whitesmith's turrets high hp enough so that it won't break for the whole fight then I think she'll be amazing.
Only if she's not getting attack by Whitesmith though 
or unlimited spawn without cd
Seems pretty good. Seems to hover around 130-140m with most team comps I tried
just gotta wait and see how CM is
CM WhiteSmith: turret go brrrt and A2 out of berserk mode 
A2 is too good for this team. Zombie scarlet strat is not working. failed 
I actually pulled for A2
is she goodge
She's wrecking in solo raid
Outside of that 

nah she is incredible in campaign too
A2 is very good in campaign, until u face like 2 elites or so
and u need the other B3 to carry your butt
until you get farted on
true
the true raid boss

nah farters is alright.
it's the really tanky but for some reason one shotting elites that love to teleport/jump around that can fuck off
like goblet/screamer
Does A2 be able to hit core and turret and cylinder at the same time?
Yes
Noir highest atk though and A2 get 2nd highest when she burst
So probably can get more when i fix alice to highest(747 A2) this boss is design for A2 lol
So does A2 need a high investment? i haven't upgraded her on anything...
Nah my a2 is 747 full lv 2 OL almost no good roll
1charge spd 2 ammunition and 1 ele
And she already kinda insane(0lb)
2B eat all resources xD
But that being said like people said this boss is for her
She hit legit 5 stuff at once
Imagine alexander
She probably destroy him
too bad the back parts don’t respawn and the turrets only respawn once
0lb
I think people that invest her can get probably 700m+
On top with alice probably
If alice1st and a2 2nd
So should i destroy turrets and cylinders?
or keep cylinders alive as long as possible?
With alice and a2?
I just use alice to kill the 2 turrets first
what does cylinders do though?
Iirc it later on when he do random projectiles
The one that mix indestructable projectile
But in my case i just kill 2 turrets and a2 kill the cylinder cuz her aoe
So i ignore the cylinder with A2 team pretty much
The turrets hit really hard so have to kill it first too ofc

A2 skills are 5/5/5, no OL xD
actually, i can buy another dupe for her via silver ticket, but i'm still waiting for 2nd dupe drop from gacha
or her rerun banner
Alice doesnt have silver ticket iirc
...i just check, yup...
But ye personally i think you invested in 2B is still much worth it
It just cuz this boss designed for A2
If he only core 2b destroy him lol
I saw top people perform really high with 2B team too
I do have copium that anniversary they give us dupe selector
The one that include alice

I have really high affection for alice lol cuz 21 chapter with no pilgrim alice pretty much get me through everything
50 pulls, i got 2 A2 and then i bought her copy 😄

Now she will have highest ATK and u will regret
See, A2 is more LB worthy than 2B.
Does turret shot her or Tentacle?
Turret.
oh don't worry, my Alice burst first and killed 1 turret, then drained 1/3 HP of the other turret, and when A2 burst, then turret be gone 
yeah Alice is kinda ridiculous... i can let A2 take a cover, one turret is not enough to break the cover
Oh, Alice and A2 dont mix.
A2 wants the turrets to stay alive.
Alice wants them to die.

I think I can let 1 turret live, I let the cylinders alive and it broke around when WhiteSmith began to shoot colorful bullets.
on SR my a2 gets targeted all the time and she's fine with bunnies
he is joking
running a2 + alice actually out damaged my a2 + mod team by a marginal amount
so probalby some variance
but, alice max doro privaty matched that teams damage so they're better separate anyway

caveat being a2 not finished though
so i a2 free train?
yeah sure
she's about the same as alice, enough investment and you can knock out train parts so they won't bother you
Guess who use Alice+A2 
I wouldnt have if my rng is good

They still dont mix
Im forcing
Do i have to use rapi?
Oh can i still do that non mlb
Ye just look for another decent dps to fill the power gap
Ok and skill and ol?
Idk try go as high as u can but not over 7/7/7
S2 priority
Its not about a2 only its about the other 4 too
But a2 has caliber to carry, just behind modernia imo
This is a great reroll for A2
Yes
mine today, 9 ammo A2 have now, 6 ammo is default.
About A2, if boss's parts get destroyed, she won't get the buff, right?
actually, has anyone made a visual radius of A2's expanded range? from default to lv 1 to lv 5 to lv 10 on skill level?
Once boss parts r gone a2 becomes mid2
you can say A2 come 2B mid
huehuehue
Yur mum
For the upcoming Union Raid, A2 will be a bad choice right?
Edit, *Solo raid
Mod will most likely have her wings so probably not
And projectiles
Don't expect her to perform like she did on Whitesmith though
could be used in Nihilister (if u dont care about elemental advantage)
or Rebuild Cucumber to maintain dps while ignore destroying the boms (A2 takes care of it)
Oww snap he said ur not Sr 
I was misremembered, was gonna talk about Modernia but forgot that Union raid have many bosses
(thx for the advice tho)
Nah you're right, mb
I got a few copies of 2B bc people said that she scales well with more copies because of the extra HP.
How about A2?
Dont have many more gems left and it looks like marciana, nega and tia are going to be top tier.
Not to mention anyversary incoming....
Having more a2 copy wont save her from dying if you miss out on tia naga
Marciana not top tier just skip
more copies of 2B enables her to solo tank solo raids (since the bosses seem to be trending towards focusing highest attack)
the breakpoint is undertermined for the future
i just core 7'ed her 🤷♂️
What?
it's more about the fact that there's really no outstanding OL lines that can help 2b scale since she's not the traditional dps due to her s2.
so the only way she can scale better atm is via dupes and recycling room levels
Im saying if u think of getting more a2 copy and gem is low, then save for tia naga
I guess I will go for it since she is not available forever while the schoolgirls will
A2 can still be carried by good OL lines (atk, max ammo, charge damage, ele damage etc)
2B can't
I think I will go for A2 and will then save for anyversary
Fair
Thxx
but she's still a good dps at 0 dupe right?
she can be
but yeah, there's limited ways to gain HP outside of level gains (which don't apply in content that scales down level), ally skills that increase HP, bond level and core level increases (MLB in particular lets you get max bond level of 30, so it increases HP in two ways)
when you finally finish upgrading her armor
I believe mlb only unlock the lobby. If its bond level, 2LB unlocks the level 30. On pilgrim unit though, i believe the last LB unlocks lv 40
I was referring to raw stats
Nothing else
All NIKKES get access to max bond level when they're MLB, 30 for non-pilgrims, 40 for pilgrims
And then ofc, the raw stats gained from limit breaking/core up
It's all small, but unlike atk, there is no OL HP line
So someone like 2b appreciates MLB more more than regular DPS NIKKES, since she doesn't value atk as much as HP.
2LB for nonpilgrims, not MLB
Pilgrims need MLB to get bond level 40
They are the only units that can reach 40 bond
Non pilgrims get 30 bond at 2 limit breaks not 3
Oh, my bad. I misunderstood
But yeah, it's kinda funny how pilgrims have this distinct feature.
Just a little bit more stat potential vs non-pilgrims.
To add onto their exclusivity
No UR for A2 sadge
Does material H not good for her? I save few precious seconds every time it spawn the mobs + shield and A2 just obliterate it in less than 2 sec
Boss parts are too weak here
So currently, which is A2's best team?
Top down best to worst in term of campaign clear:
a/Tia Naga + A2 (early analysis)
a/Blanc Noir + A2
b/Rapunzel + A2
b/Summer Mary + A2
c/Pepper-Privaty or Marciana + A2
c/Folkwang + A2
imho
wont tia naga a bad pick for A2? i think the schollgirl duo want B3 that can focus on core like alice, SW or maxwell
its for campaign as i mentioned
ah fair
Yeah he's doing campaign healer + A2 comps
since A2 requires a healer for perma mode B
And for SI specially train?
bunnies+ A2?
would S!Mary be also required to mantain her HP or bunnies/Gyarus healing is enough so Dorothy/Liter can be added to the team?
No need the pairs alone are sufficient
A2 Story late should be sss.
Scarlet has sss rate but i can’t clear anything with her
let them know dawg
Try hard campaign
Fym you can't clear anything with her
You're kidding
But yeah A2 is good
I malded and pumped all redhood skill books for A2, still lost if stage has a fart monster

She good with everything single thing but the farts

Just don't use her for farts then 
upgrade 1st skill more 

Does having another max ammo slot for A2 make her better?
Not really
She need atk%
To be effectively punching hard if u use her in story mode
momo quit?
Left server
he quit
wait momo no why
it's because you guys complained about his music choice in his videos too much /s 
Wow dudes 
15 hp
Yep that's why A2 is a super good unit to wipe out crowds
Nice music 

Can only be done with 4 attack A2 which I don't have for now

I will have soon
@spiral sedge fking cheater
Mine has 3
does this mean
A2's burst gen is also fucked
or is it just applying double damage in a single instance?
or 2 instances of correct damage?
Wth, isn't that supposed to be the design?? If hitting an enemy gets hit with a full charge, it also deals additional dmg
It was dealing said additional damage twice, apparently
Oh ok
Didn’t change anything A2 still good to use (SI modernia)
I use her on train, GD and blacksmith
On train, she's a necessity to break the turrets faster
didnt @granite lynx said it only happened when u have 4 lines of atk%
it wouldnt affect most of us unlucky bastards with 4 def lines

@spiral sedge momo what's the deal with chapter 17 boss
am i not supposed to push below a certain hp somewhere
@marble snow whats the deal with chapter 17 boss?
trust me i never fight them

i just removed a couple of stitches so i cant see shit
cope cheater
i cant even see the black bombs they just spawn

ok alice 1 trick 
i dont even use alice that much

of 1 stage?
yeah right
wat are u talking about, i have vid of all other stage that has the name hurrdurr with alice in the middle

11th rank
tskk tskk
how many alice out of total stage
Use Tia Naga liter imo
Manual Tia to avoid taking any damage
Redhood and one other high DPS unit, modernia if you have ele
Alice if you have chair or can spam well is preferred over redhood immensely.
It's a DPS rush. Nothing else.
How it works is that
Clear all mob waves
Once he's 145-150 bars, wait for him to teleport once and reappear again. Immediately burst with rh/Alice.
You need to bring his hp from 145-150 bars-> 101 bars somehow.
Then cover and wait for him to do his thing that will kill your cover. Now you want him to teleport and as soon as he reappears:
Alice/rh burst to then rush his ass down to 0 hp bars before he does the green bullet thing that kills you

#nikke #goddess #nikkegoddessofvictory
tyvm its that 101 bar thing then, cuz he keeps spamming me with shit
Tia will die from it xD
So you still have a full team
Make sure to target the core when shooting down the boss
It needs to go from 101 -> 0
So make sure to hold out until you can burdt
@marble snowthank you very much 💞 only took me 4 hours
Only 4 hrs
dorothy saves the day as always
RIP A2
2023 Augst -2023 December
A2 probably can still bust multi parts fast
scalt can't really do that unless the distributed damage hit parts
Did u use her against chatterbox?
didn’t
cb part destruction needed to be fast af
my A2 is only lb1 with minimal investment
I might as well reset A2's skills since I haven't touched her at all after getting more great dps units
Smart move!
Reset novel better imo

Yea, I'll give all of them to Leona
Wait....
Fuck your right
Same thing happened to me.... except for autoing blacksmith
I used her for both train and blacksmith, until I invested in RH
guy's should i pull her


yes
definitely for next solo raid
I am still using her in campaign very good for defense tower
I'm here for the rise of a2 stocks
Good thing i pulled her last week
A2 is actually shit
without parts
Rem wont save her
she has no multiplier
if no parts
her only buff is part damage

superseded by Emilia no cap
the only RL that works with her rn is Emilia only
So csm collab rerun when?
but rn better to run SBS Alice
and not use Emilia burst
opens up Tiga slot for RH
and Xlud
and then Mod and Max def go to LitBun
u can choose not to use Alice burst too if u want for fun

just there for charge speed buff
Why not use Emilia burst
Also, why do you wanna run Emilia barebone

cus her buffs are outside burst
her burst is shit lmao
300%- charge speed means 4x charge time
what u get is 5x damage

no
charge damage buff
not 1500% nuke
want nuke go Power
that girl does nuke
Her nuke is minimum 2200% of her ATK from what me and KosMiu discussed
it's 1300% charge damage
not 1300% of attack
so her charge becomes 1610% assuming max of the max buffs
There's S2 as well
base is 310%
And full burst bonus
ok 1610% over 4s
versus 310% per sec (slightly more) over 4s
u get 1 more shot + range
I understand
if boss doesnt need range
just run Emilia SBS Alice
Alice bursts maybe
but if u need range
Alice can fully support and cry in the corner

the charge speed buff is 1.5x for Emilia
as all we know
wait
nah
Rem will steal the buff

She's only good if the person doesn't have modernia
I have both but Modernia has only 1 OL gear (thanks to SU to not giving us a selective box) and I was able to full OL gears A2
I am still using A2 in campaign because I was able to OL gears her very fast
Modernia is still waiting her full set
I already did full OL A2 with good slots but I reset her skills when mPriv came out and I gave them all to Leona
Also I just recently full OL on modernia but I still need to work on her slots, need to get better rerolls for slots 
Power Fans Rejoice?
Wont use
A2 Burst once better?
Idk man
Power > A2
if no parts

Power has bonk
bonk equals like 5000% charge
A2 has no bonk
5000% charge = 20 shots
if each takes 1.3 sec = 26 secs of DPS
A2 is dead again
I mean if u dont have Power
A2 is the closest thing
Plays Kickback
3750%
Wtf is that random 5000%
Also a2 deals about 250% atk per shot. During burst, it is 365%. So around 10 shot only. But it is indeed sad
Power > A2 in looks, likeability, cuteability, and i prefered playing her over A2 anyways cause based. Will want to see numbers
5000
Huh
Oh
Except it cant core hit
And what the hell is 50
Her burst modifier is 1585%
u need sleep
I alr gave full explanation
obviously you're not megamind enough to comprehend where it came from
Just use Laplace lol
Since nihi has 4 parts, a2 is viable
and she will be more with Rem normally, I am thinking playing RH(B1)/Rem/A2/SBS to push hard campain further, will wait some test
What's A2's recommended skill levels for PvP?
Bench / Bench / Bench, I think
I’m not sure if Power bonk can make up for what seems like weaker S1 and S2?
Can only be used as energy gen filler, okayish not worth it.
since Nier collab is confirmed to rerun on July 3rd, i wonder how good (or bad) A2 is today
A2 is mainly a Boss unit that is heavily reliant on parts.
Shows up in fire weak Raids if the Boss has parts.
Parts or bust essentially
i'm pretty sure she will be like team 3/4/5 in Fire Raids?
since Eva, Mihara and Rapi are the best fire we have
if you miss a lot of banners and have nobody else better, A2 could be worth picking up
this game is about opportunity cost and availability. there’s only 25 slots for a solo raid/CA, if you got nothing better, you have to make do with something worse
There's drake SG team too. Eventually we will have more fire DPS units and right now they are both in team 5 levels so their pull value is more for completionist than meta
