#[Soda: Twinkling Bunny] New Unit Megathread
1 messages · Page 3 of 1
That was posted yesterday tho
why did they translate 'alice is a rabbit' to 'here i come' that's strange
Rather, with lack of particle, it's probably meant to be "It's rabbit Alice!"
She's presenting herself
Jaaa~ Alice usagi desu!
Roughly:
Surprise~ It's bunny Alice!
Yeah
HERE I COME
its time for me to learn japanese so i don't question these things anymore

There was a time when I thought that having learned Japanese was a waste of effort
then I saw how licensing was destroying the fan-translation community to milk the industry dry with garbage quality
now I'm very glad I did 
Answered
does this unit work without Tove
anything works without Tove
not seeing top 3 material
Think though
Iron has RH and SW

Problem is the competitive element
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure she'll beat Maxwell if put into bunnies team with Modernia
(assuming Gravedigger)
In terms of meta, yes
She's more flexible than M Priv
do you think she’ll see any use in UR
Geez
I just realised why Aku asked 
To use her, you'll need to up all of them to 10/10/10 cuz tove needs lvl9 s1
I don't see her being useful in UR
Unless we start getting mono-element URs 
For people who haven't been blessed by Snow White, maybe 
but if using for UR, then not a must pull since wishlist exists
Yeah, no.. unless there's 2× or 3× iron weak
There's redhood
There's snowwhite
And then there's soda
kek
Well, it also depends on like
How much dps soda does lmfao
Maxwell in shambles
If her dps is super high and competes with pierce units
It's tover for other units 
my reasoning is that if she’s too weak to compete in UR 3team format she’ll be too weak for SR pretty soon
yes but not the strongest
If there's 2× iron weak
And one of them is a non pierce boss like dual ring for example
Soda >>> snow or maxwell
Well P1 last raid was Alice+SBS so no iron dps
So there's use cases
Indivilia
Oh, SR
bSoda has 628.7% screenwipe
mPrivy has 1066.66% screenwipe
so
Redhood goes on one iron weak boss
Soda or snowwhite go on the other
If snowwhite goes with redhood like last UR, if we had another iron weak boss which was boss 1/2/4, she's gonna be used
Bro pls UR is a copium
No, not just them
Anyways I want my union to have sg team built now 
F2p forcing his union mates to spend in SG

leona need 10 10 10 too?
Akusetsu will need to bump Leona to 777
Because otherwise his account is bricked in his eyes
check maid privy thread

we have pins there about tove leona
dont mind me
Leona 10/7/10 iirc?
Also, for some people, UR is something that actually does need attention
The fuck with mw+xlud xD
Unequal numbers are not allowed on his account
Not everyone's in the sweaty unions 
It needs to be 4/4/4, 7/7/7 or 10/10/10
@rose mango this still apply?
Crown 
Why don't you just use MoWu's skill rec
Or Austin's
The low Tove S2 is cope
oh right we have that too
leaking my amazing strategy
When tove came out I didn't have enough skill books at all, but 9/4/7 tove was enough to outdps my SAnis+scar team in UR
Not to mention, you needed to do smthng for crystal chamber raid lol
S2 is actually busted when it's up all the time, it's the main source of effectiveness for this SG team especially since it's a 0 CDR FB extension team
Yeah but there's breakpoints to that S2 which gatrix calculated iirc
So leaving it at those breakpoints is kinda fine
What is the correct number to say what Party is, yellow one, blue or green (left. Middle, right)?
Breakpoints for ATK spd are semi-fake when it comes to atk spd up from what I've tested
Or usage?
I've looked at soline for example

Max, average, min
Iirc Kos told me that soline atk speed doesn't work at all
Gatrix and Kos worked on SG tho, which works
I'm colorblind so maybe I said different colors xD
I have color deficiency as well 
It does work
I've put 5 SMGs in a team together
Not sure about the left one, but middle is blue and right is red
And Soline consistently empties out a couple bullets faster
Yellow blue red
work on SG
Lowest average highest
it was me who recorded every single frame of Sugar from lv 1 to 10
However, the apparently atk spd that was gained was not what was advertised on the skill, it was lower

Lmfao
My bad
I see yellow, blue and green maybe?
Hence atk spd breakpoints are "semi-fake"
Highest, average, lowest
Yellow blue red
Highest, average, lowest
If you see green for the right, you must have true protanopia 
Atk spd as a buff clearly works even when a breakpoint isn't hit but its actual effectiveness is reduced from what it advertises
Well that yellow can be red if you tell me
That's the general conclusion I came too while looking at soline
did you compare each skill level?
I've got a lot of problems with colors 
or default soline vs any other smg yeah she's faster
Hmm so what you mean is that over 3 minutes that atk speed will give you an extra 3-4 bullets even if it's not a breakpoint
Over 10s, what gatrix calculated
It's not the same for sg?
@lucid nest I'm correct, right?
I forgot the exact numbers so I'm not commenting on that, but if you put 5 smgs in a team with soline, you can watch how fast they empty their mags
And soline is always first
Damn, fun test
The apparent gain in spd however
Is clearly less than what is advertised
My theory is that it's due to time loss on the tick function
it's more interesting to know how much faster each skill up gets than knowing that she is indeed faster at skill lvl 1
if skill resets were still a thing i'd test it
got enough resets np
So the theory in my book is that breakpoints give you full benefit of the atk spd buff
And that non breakpoints gives partial benefit
Due to time loss on the tick function
I tried shooting 9 times on auto with Sugar. On each burst lv

I guess AS works better on faster Attack speed
for SG, the breakpoint really exists
E.g. tick occurs and the float "overflows" partially
This is gatrix breakpoints @misty estuary
From what he calculated for tove
Yeah again from what I've seen you eventually fire extra bullets over time
And it's just most apparent with soline
Since it's a tiny amount
Maybe because of her high fire rate??
In SG, fire rate is like 20× less
So it's less "possible" that you shoot faster?
More like "Tada! It is Bunny Alice"
High fire rate means that it'll be more obvious when you get that extra bullet yes
Low fire rate means it takes longer to see when that benefit manifests
But from what I've seen atk spd as a stat isn't totally useless even when it doesn't hit a breakpoint, but it does seem "less effective" than advertised
Japanese content creator PESU MY has an invested Soline and has gameplay of her if you'd want to analyze that 
It's called localizing, unfortunately
EN bricked
Localizing =/= translating

They just make it whatever they think is most fitting 
imma play in Chinese rn
That's why you get deliquent guys in their young twenties using "rizz" in GBF 
hmm I'll try to see if there's a way to test it with SG
To test this, need a way to keep tove S2 up 100% 
~~nevermind, despite having OL gear on Soline, her S1 is still level 1
~~
gd solo raid
Yeah, most likely another Iron raid
Oh boy I can't wait to
g!gravedigger
With 10 circles every 5 seconds
isnt the kit is like really strong ? specially paired with M.Priv
pinned message says SSS dps
Leona can be 4 7 10
But s1 is gonna have more value after soda release
Is sugar placeholder for soda?
inb4 pulls Doro before B Soda/B Alice 
If Alice keeps tove stacks up
Time to edit an exodia meme
ALL FIVE PIECES OF PUZZLE
And I was thinking that duo characters were bad design
Now we have quintuple characters
that could have been 45 rolls and 4500 gems
You don't need team building just put them all together 👌
Except Tove 
I said this before, imagine a weapon that is so bad
you need 5 brand new nikkes just to fix it 
only "savable" smg is just supports or change weapon type in burst
thats probably it
We don't
SMG is a weapon you give ppl just to make sure you know they're a buffer

like mg
It would be nice to get a new weapon type. We know that Nikke handguns exist.
SMG isn’t salvageable unless they make a rapture type that the MGs can’t deal with up close.
what would the niche of the type be?
they are 'fixing' shotguns by giving it additional effects and a bunch of hitrate
smg fix is pretty much the same thing make it shoot straight and make it do something extra
Slow fire, high damage, close range…which is shotgun.
To be fair, do you run down in traditional fps with smg?
And even in real life, smg is also frontload and not some heavy dps
They are cheap hence they are shit
smg does not sound like the type of weapon you would bring to kill off some raptures

Standard SMG is literally the weapon type with literally no benefits whatsoever, its defining feature is that it's good at nothing and bad at everything
Then they should work better on bomb raptures!
Supportive gun, may be giving them built in defense reduction is better
Or slow enemy dow
ER in this game is a joke compared to core hits
Whatever benefit you gain from range not only tends to overlap with AR anyway but also the decreased hit rate for being MG offsets the advantage of effective range
Like when a rapture walks up close to an AR
Oh boy, now you don't have ER anymore! But now you have 100% core hit rate
idk what the math is in this game but sniper works just fine against anything in front of me
So in actuality, your dps increased lmfao
Like this is a very old school observation
smg should give lots of burst gen and make it pvp niche
That base scarlet dealt more damage to an enemy right in her face than an enemy in her effective range
So AR just poaches "being better at close range" from SMG as well
ar gets reduced dmg from up close maybe she missed shots or some shit
Having SMG do something else like a debuff or the stun suggestion would be a good way to make it worth considering.
The weapon literally has no redeeming qualities, even it's slightly higher fire rate for procing stacks is canceled out by the skill needing to hit an enemy and having low hit rate at range
But that can just be skills. It should just be a standard of the SMG.
No there's no damage reducing mechanic
there's none?
ER is just a flat bonus when an enemy is in the weapon types designated range
smg should just gen burst 3x as fast that's an easy niche
No it doesnt
Smg needs 40 hits per sec to make up for their shitty dmg and accuracy
SMG burst gen values are trash so they generate the least burst
Instead of being the single worst?

xMidca supremacy
X Mica literally gets 3x burst gen and it's only comfortable, not good 
SMG is the weapon you give to supports to nerf them even harder than giving them a normal AR
Just to make sure they def can't do mechanics
i'm not so sure when they give all weapon types to also all kinds of supports
I'm saying giving someone an SMG is almost always just a nerf
Giving someone AR is like giving them basic rights
jesus foken christ
Giving them SMG is making them a refugee
is her 40% burst hit rate not enough?
i guess the only thing to pray is that alice gives massive crit rate
but at the end of the day...
Crit in Nikke is foken LOL why
Leona already exists
Giving them mg means making them meta
It's hard to make an MG unit bad
Especially if they're an attacker type
they tried really hard with sneon by taking her mg away hahaha
Sneon and aria are unique stuff lmfao
Aria with an MG and a last bullet skill:
Is she stupid?
we got 2 horrible MG and 2 mid close to Bad MG
Even product 12 is good
If you tweak her kit a bit with treasure, she can become good iirc
why don't we get treasure kits?
we need 4 more treats
Soda and Emma can be easily fixed
-
Emma S2 activate when HP above 30%
-
Emma S1 activates at 20%
-
Soda S1 Needs 120 shots per stacks
-
Soda S2 has 6s CD
or 1 collective treasure
Oh damn I'm thinking of the wrong R unit my bad
It's really simple, being MG is like getting an extra DPS skill, being SR/RL is like getting an extra support skill, and being SMG means being nerfed
To incentives using leona even more
noooo
It was soldier ow
If she was mg and this percentage was higher she would be one of the best
If not the best
the best r in the game
Idk if she even needs to be mg
Even AR would suffice I think
Currently she's smg iirc
God forbid you wanna use your own character instead of their tailor made for each other ones
i don't really think you are required to build a specific comp to tailer to her s1 lol
that specific loss is minimal
use crown if you want its fine
just fix mast by turning that shitty 30s into continuous
its a simple and single word that will change everything
That'd be p mediocre
I can't find the numbers xdd
But yeah ar probably wouldn't be good
i'm looking forward for balice to replace rapunzel in crown teams
so i can skip this whole tove leona team 5 shit
anyoen find it strange shes still part of Maid for You but Mprivatey was switched to the Maid For you squad?
shes not part of the 777 squad????
balice/boda don't work for 777
mpriv worked for maids
not joining the squad vs joining the squad
well based on the event looks like alice and soda will be helping the casino so that means they will be working for them
i have not seen alice lift a single finger
and her story is 'checking out the clowns' or some shit
They don't want them to work with blanc
Simplest answer
no kit 
57m

kinda dumb :/
Kit is usually 1 day before the patch anyway
whats dumb is mpriv joining the squad temporarily
it gave everyone false hope
So they just put one of them earlier
Not dumb, only 2 alts ever changed their squad names
Not surprising, nothing to make a big thing out of
i do get it though everyone wants to get rid of bnoir i'm as sad as you guys are
@rose mango can i skip both bunnies if I'm missing leona and don't have tove built?
imagine skipping sss tier
You realistically can replace Leona with dolla
Tove dolla soda flex flex
But imo you should pull her and start investing in SG team
If you don't care about raids, soda is an ez skip
Soda is also usable in PvP so
Remember that
I have maiden for that
reset maiden
just making an observation, like what constitutes for squad changes and what doesnt? skins its whatever but if Soda was in 777 squad it wouldve helped me out lol
put skills into boda
Nah it's different
you think bsoda works for 777 but i highly doubt that
why would she enter her own competition then? makes no sense
"what constitutes for squad changes"
There's no consistency for this
It's common sense that an already broken unit shouldn't be made more broken
And as Raoul said
Soda enters the coin rush bunny competition
Doesn't take part as the 777 squad member
at this point from what you said i doubt rouge will join lol
unless rouge is underwhelming enough that it wont make the bunny girls even more broken
bblanc will get yeeted from union raid before rouge releases
i mean school girls are the better duo, esp now with crown working with naga. power creep is gonna be a bitch later on.
mayeb thats when rouge comes in
Bunnies are already weaker than JKs and Crown
Like Naga and Crown are fighting for best B2 and Blanc is clearly 1 tier below
Tho that's partially bc Noir is weaker than Tia
And Crown gets to pick and choose who she wants as a partner
Blanc is technically weaker than both crown and Naga too tho
I mean, her heals are better and she has indom
But the damage buffs
Clearly weaker
I said partially bc
Not fully bc
Blanc def has better heals and mechanic ignoring
Yeah agreed
Way too much cushion
To fall on
i think they know duo pairs can only go so long before power creep or better units come out. they will prob add in a 3rd nikke to each duos later on that buff them up more to catch up. prob why they are holding back with releasing them
i can def see bunny girls slowly drop in tier when better duos come out then boom rouge is out and they are top tier again
Only one of them will become top tier
Either noir or blanc
At least
From what I think
Crown Naga and Blanc are the best b2s by far
Everyone else is significantly worse
So preferably Rouge just needs to be B3 or CDR B1
thats what i was thinking but she has to be good enough to compete with liter other wise its jus the usual Liter, bunny girls, two DPS
and if shes B3 she has to comepte with mord, RH, scarlet etc. itll be tough
Her competition isn't liter
It's volume
She just needs to be better than volume

The bar isn't that high considering she starts with the benefit of being 777
oh the ole "i dont need to be the best, i just need to be better than you" strategy 
whack how volume was considered cope liter at release but still meta today
It's just bc they aren't release B1 CDRs v often
D alt was the last one, she doesnt compete with them on CDR?
After JKs and before DKW it was impossible to have any decent comp flexibility with B1s at all
Now it's slightly better
In order of release
Liter Volume Dolla
Sakura
Dorothy
Helm: Aqua Marine
D: Killer Wife
If you wanna be technical
Noir and redhood are cdr as well 
Yeah unfortunately dolla is more than underwhelming in terms of actual buffs
And s.helms buffs only work when the enemy is weak to iron
And then sakura has meme buffs
Over time B2 somehow became a stronger position than B1 in terms of bench supports
Sakura might become better if they added a 40s b1 that doesn't blow ass and isn't a pure tank like noise
E.g. RH but all she does is B1
PvE almost dead anyways
Champs soon

PvP is gonna be so fun for all us whales who can't practice any team to figure out what's good because we're just synchro diffing everyone in our bracket

Me.
same shit really
Lmfao
I looked at the kit essay and it showed up as a giant blur, as if it was all censored. Because my brain automatically protected me from reading
Bro really asked this at the worst possible time
Let me just pin that gatrix summary
Fun is subjective as well
Like pvp is about fighting other players
If I can't practice then I'm just running random shit
If I'm just running random shit that's not fun
i do agree that has been lame design
S1
- Start with 50 stacks, equally 66% crit dmg only during FB
- Give 10.51% Attack Damage to self and another DPS
S2:
- When any1 uses B3, FB is prolonged by 5s max.
- Each shot during FB deals additional 137.06%
Burst:
- Reduce 17 stacks, needs to refill with 51 shots during FB to have no loss of stacks
- Deals okayish 628.7% aoe
- Give self 38.91% Hit rate
- Give self 65.25% ATK
Should've been synced from the very start
P much
union raid too or am i asking for too much
Sync is an insanely stupid mechanic to begin with
it just doesn't fit this game
Regardless, the worst part of PvP is something most people don't even know about:
What I will say about PvP is that in the end, if it's 2 good players up against each other, the match is decided by pure rng
Which is funny
To me at least
That's all gacha pvps, I don't know how extreme it is here compared to others
Every gacha pvp I've ever played or researched always comes down to an rngfest at the end of the day and it's just about win percentage
And how volatile that rng is
rocket whiffs are insane rng
Volatility is the main metric to compare with
i'm not sure how the championships work but if it's an elimination bracket it won't be win%
1 loss you're out
Formats is never win percentage
In Nikke, the winning chances of attack should be 99% essentially if you focus on PvP units like you do on raid units
If you know the counters, the match is decided on the 1% chance of whiffing, target skipping, residual targeting, and recently that bug where one bullet literally carries over to the next round and gives the team extra burst gen.
I'm talking about theory
Yeah then that's better than other gachas
In other gachas there's some strategy, but at the end of the day, sometimes all of your CC just doesnt land and all of the other guy's CC does
I'm only gonna have fun if they give some ability to practice
like for example, the very obvious and classic friend battle system

i wonder what alices kit is gonna say to make them be a specific duo pair with each other.
Maybe something to do with Sodas B3/FB since Sodas kit revolves around that
Is she still worth pulling for if I don't have Leona/mpriv/tove
Or should I just WL
Wl
pull
it's fine to wl but at least pull her from wl
don't be an idiot who gets cucked
i think leona is not that required
leona is wanted for mpriv
but bsoda and tove work fine without both of those
go built a tove bsoda and something else team it will still be good
balice tove bblanc bnoir bsoda
That's a bad comp
Will def keep Tove on my WL then
BSoda = Black Screen Of Death Ahhh
Man i dont get her mechanics
she buffs teammates with abit of dmg and she gives her self hit rate and crit with decent aoe dmg while having a prolonged FB each time ANYONE full bursts
what dont u get 
She shoot
She do big pp DPS
Tove help her attack faster, hence even more dps
Thank you for coming to ted talk
bruh im blind but where she gets stacks
The 2nd line of her skill 1
ic
some one doesnt read their terms and conditions
i read them and press decline
So she starts with 50 coins
loses 17 per burst usage
have amount requirement to active effect
but... anywher mentioned how she gains or am i bad at reading
s1
i was unsure but okay
I think a mod needs to pin this
I have seen countless ppl asking how is she going to get charges back today
how is she gonna get charges back please?

who knows
dang
we would acquire the knowledge if we had a place to pin them
i guess ill pin this on my server
The kit doesnt say it but the video does. She gains stacks every reload
idky its not on the kit
but she only gains stacks during FB when she reloads it seems
she doesnt gain stacks every reload
she gains stacks every 3 normals during full burst
you really typed this huh
that reads as if she just gains crit dmg up to a total of 50
yes thats what the stacks do
the golden coin is the stacks

u can look at mast as well
Guys how does she gain stacks
but this one doesnt say continuosly, Sodas can make you think after just activating 3 times your crit alone will just keeping going up consistently cuz you just had to shoot 3 times. and you dont have to do anything else
continously = duration = 3s from mast
Tldr:
- What is "golden chip"?
- It is the name of soda's stacks (that she can gain back during full burst).
- They have no expiry.
- When the Stage/round starts, golden chip stacks are at maximum possible stacks, which is 50.
- when soda bursts herself, stacks drop by 17, hence 50 becomes 33.
- every 3 shots during full burst, the stack count goes up by 1!
mast gets a debuff that lasts 3s if you shot two more times you get another stack. her duration doesnt mean you get stacks its the amount of times she shoots. the debuff only has a 3s duration to use to get more
what is a stack can someone explain
Forget mast

Forget everything else
again why ppl are asking about soda cuz the way ppl interperate it
Just read this
PULL COKE
boda
B. Soda & B. Alice
What do we call Alice and soda together
Bunnies
baldlice and boda
crit 2 times condition = attacking 3 times for soda condition
3s duration for mast = continously duration for soda
pls
its literally the same layout
Bro leave mast out
Not needed
Just tell them what the stacks are
Brain gets confused when thinking more than one nikke probably
The name of stacks is golden chip, the rest of the tldr is pinned
it was an example 
Poor mast
Poor little mast
will Rupee be good with her?
what's a chip

no
now i'm hungry
Holy cursed
Rupee mains eating good tonight
She cant refresh her own stacks
Golden Chip has multiple passive functions, each having certain conditions for Golden chip to do something. based on the amount of stacks. And someone can easily interpret that one of the conditions to activate its affect is to just shot 3 times and for its crit to keep going up. why ppl asked about how it stacks. cuz it just doesnt deliberaly say you gain specifically get stacks from it. it only talks about its effect.
i know how it works now but others are obv just as confused so ty for the simplification
Hoping that Alice is a b3 so you can still run leona
Plot twist baldlice b1
:0
Benchlice
We have enuf time for 2 summer events
The copium is too much
Ggs fr
Yeah
Being a b3 is fine?
we need b0.5 b1.5 or b2.5
mPriv burst is skippable, kinda, no?
want to burst m.priv and b.soda
We do
Plot twist balice is good B1 but not in SG cope
b2 is probably fine too tbh
Its called reset bursts
with so much crit rate/dmg, u want to burst leona and m. priv lol
And Leona burst is crit
Like tia and rupee
It's fine but you'd want to rather live
First reset burst 2 unit
Yeah
b1 = cry
Unless she is just that good
b1 but stack increase on passive so we just dont burst her 
But then she also needs to heal enough
when do i get my ssr summer rapi
wheres @opal lantern
We already have that 🤓
i miss him
He cooked for like 2 hours
bald chef
When thread was made
kisenix not cooking tove unit
im let down
He believed in tove when no one else did
Who knew
The cope was real
Plot twist balice b3 who re-enter in b3
we need b. alice to be B0.5, and her burst to be "increases all allies stacks by 10" or some shit
tsuki cooking 
bro been typing
ima go eat my bbq bye
Maybe she maintains whole buffs during burst?
ping me when alice kit shows b2 
What if Rouge was B1 CDR with the following burst:
Wild Card: After B3 is activated, consume this buff to additionally reactivate the effect of a different B3 that is currently on cooldown. If no other B3 is on cooldown, then consume this effect to re-enter Burst Stage 3 instead.
b1 cdr but needs to be in 777 squad 
now u can use noir burst +b3

rouge just needs 'can add +1 nikke to your squad' skill
make the duo a trio 
make it conditional
Also 2nd effect:
Lucky 21: Activates upon entering full burst, and if 3 of bursts activated were from allies in the same squad. Additionally re-activates the effect of bursts of characters from the same squad (considered as a separate effect to their normal bursts)
if blanc then x if bnoir then y but both then nothing
back in 2022
Actually that skill is OP and def needs a nerf, time to add a minor nerf
During Full Burst*
This is kinda broken tho
yeah it's extremely broken
double uptime on Alice burst is better than getting a big ass atk buff

was more so trying to think of something creative

which tbh the Lucky 21 idea would be pretty cool

Maybe this works? But it's still busted
If that was the only effect and then Rouge's own buffs were meh
then JKs still stronger
Rouge blanc noir and then Alice ×2
Maybe if rouge doesn't have any buffs that she gives herself it's fine
mainly doubling up bursts would be gamebreakingly OP
especially on an element focused boss
so tbh it's not something I actually would want to see
but I thought it was a cool idea

tbh the Lucky 21 effect is already strongk just by itself
Yeah, it is
Tbh there's a lot of stuff they haven't tried out yet regarding skills
A lot of creativity can be done, which other games have
And nikke doesn't yet
adding another Blanc burst to incentivizing Noir burst plus doubling the hit rate would be funny af
tbh I think that idea is p cool since it's once per 2 cycles
I like the idea of Rouge incentivizing Noir, although the big downside to that
is a trios
as if comping wasn't restrictive enough

Ideally I wanna bench noir for a better b3 
but I liked mainly the idea of a B1 buffer that doesn't do something generic but instead does something based on who she's working with
Just push modernia to some other ammo supporter
Somehow
Release a new ammo support shiftup pls
20s goes hard tho
Sad that we don't have any buffs that last 20s
well 20s doesn't go that hard considering you now have to pay reburst time
and even 15s buffs have expired by then

Yeah I mean I get that
It's just that 20s mod burst in campaign would go hard
If there were any buffs that lasted 20s xD
Apart from crowns buff, there's nothing else
imagine the funniest shit
Soda D Modernia
20s full burst into another 20s full burst
Haven't heard of D in months now
Since Elegg dropped
Waiting for D treasure that turns her SMG into an MG
Same model but her gun now shoots a converging laser
Even changed the name
Okay but honestly though collectibles are like lowkey
What I'm cautiously optimistic for this patch
Like I really REALLY wanna know
What they do
+5% crit dmg and that's when I go to sleep
if nothing else at least a universal upgrade for all nikke
Pain
favorite item could be underwhelming 
Favorite item I'm keeping my expectations low
Laplace needs a LOT to even be remotely usable
Honestly Exia is a wild card
Nah trust
Hmm no
Frima looks salvageable
For pvp
30% hp up at lvl10
Make that 50 and she's noise at home
Imagine all these buffs
Are just for pvp

I figured it out
Laplace treasure will give her a special effect
It will turn her into loudmouth
And will just kill any nikkes she fires her loud mouth laser at
Only works in pvp.

laplace clip upgrade
so is soda a must pull based off just being good herself or based off you have tove/mpriv/leona invested?
forgot to top up monthlies
Not herself, she's one of the pieces of the puzzle of the SG team
As it stands:
- Tove Leona soda MPriv marciana
bro just removes alice
balice stans in shambles
It's a full team so you need to start with tove
Tove: 9/7/7
Leona: 4/7/4
Then go with
Soda: 7/7/7
maidPriv: 7/7/7
i really should wait until tomorrow before i say this but i think with jsut tove/soda/balice ppl are good and either pick up the others with wish list or wait for better characters its np
rip skill books
Ok man, go ahead and leak the kit
Alice kit doko
Tove burst not 10 is a sabotage
Actually, maybe keep soda at 7/7/7 too for now, I don't know her scaling yet
this is what I call Snake's "I want to invest but not seriously"
if u guys do this
100% will be disappointed
It's called minimum investments
And they work fine
I'm not a whale and I'm not spending a single penny above those investments either
they need high investments to work
not minimum
they are outclassed by many teams at minimum investments
This was enuf to outdps my scar SAnis combo so I'm happy 
Against elec weak
Electric weak still exists
watching soda's motion demo, her badonkers are insane
Feature creep
Should I take a massive gamble and wait for summer, collab, or anniversary?
At this point I belive most of the player base didn't even read skill descriptions and just wait for prydwen and nikkegg review
I can't answer this question lol
not enough context
Shift Up learned how their own game works
Honestly, Soda is like
finally
FINALLY
an example of a unit that Shift Up
actually has a clear design expectation for and meets its goals
like the actual first 10/10 design in terms of establishing a purpose and meeting its needs
the previous unit in this category was S.Anis but B.Soda surpasses that
it certainly looks like that, but we'll see if this is moreso the case once B. Alice's kit release, or if it's just a fluke lol
i don't think it's a fluke regardless of how alice turns out
balance team knows what they're doing for pve
i dunno meng, Crit stats still shit in nikke... shes almost perfect cut Crit Damage? ew
any1 here on windows 11?
well it is, in fact, good
now fix old soda
now fix or delete crown
it's more consistent that maiden's lmao
180 → 120 shots for buffs
12s → 8s CD effect
12.71% → 31.91% heals
I'm planning to skip bsoda because my Tove isn't built and I'm missing Leona
fr fr you pull SG DPS only if you got the support built up OR cuz your pp orders you
any SG that dont have high asf Hit Rate, Fast Reload & ATK buffs will suffer without tove &/or Leona
and for now only Naga Noir Sugar has 2 or 3 of these
Anis being special and needs Privaty for her S2
... can add her cuz she self-pog too
Guilty bricked by Union Chips
Guilty's reload is really bad too.
i'm in a similar boat, not enough resources to dedicated what is pretty much, nearly entirely a fresh new team. Even if I do start investing into them, there's the future problem of them being possibly powercreeped already. If any case, I might end up just resetting blanc/noir if the numbers on B.Soda/B.Alice/Tove is ridiculously high
I felt bad resetting her, but she hasn't seen much use.
and all of that so you can have a team 5 to that can be fine for every solo raid? no thanks, investment is too high
being B2 is a curse for her too
I'm in chapter 21 hard mode lmao
Thats the main issue of the game, high investment but poor ressource gains
Can only place your bets on units that have 90% of what they need in their own kits
Meme theory: the entire theme of the game and its story is scarcity
especially the mindset around it
meme theory? more like core story crisis
70% of the campaign or event is "skk, we ran out of mayonaise, go fetch some on the surface"

Scarcity doesn't have to be about physical resources
dang i read scarce city
what about scarcity of purpose, which leads Pathfinder to fall into Sixo's hands
or scarcity of morals, which leads Mary to turn Alice and many others into Nikkes
It's socio-economic disparity more than scarity.
Soverigns and the Three Manufacturers have everything. Everyone else has nothing.
and ofc somehow the Rapture Queen has even more than anything the Ark has of value
The citizens in the Ark don't want to get pushed to the Outer Rim.
But they all will in time.
Define Outer Rim as anywhere outside the Ark?
The Raptures have a solution to the problem of endless economic growth.
say if the Ark ceases to exist?
most people are enjoying the ark from the events i see
Some people happily leave the Ark, even if it dooms them.
They don't know the Ark is going to run out of resources, and the Sovereigns do.
only one i have played where that wasn't the case really was kings raid cuz it was a real time action pvp mode with your 4 characters. some units did have some really stupid rng in their kits though lol
i think we'll be fine with some bullshit story
like a unit that had a 15% chance to stun on every instance of damage they dealt
Personally, I think Mustang built Tetra to rip off as many Sovereigns as possible.
so it will be a matter of time before citizens are sacrificed to the power source, a la Frostpunk child the the Generator?

what does sovereign even mean i never heard that word i lore
The ultra wealthy.
cental government?
SHOGUN
i'm not sure any ark citizen is an ultra wealthy
Rupee's job is to make videos of shopping sprees on super expensive items that normal Ark citizens can't afford, which she happens to sell at the mall she owns.
"Sovereigns are distinguished by their specially-ordered citizen chips, which often use organic materials or are custom work by famous designers."
Replay Anis' bond story. It's episode 3.
aight
all jokes and lore aside
I'd rather wait
if I do worse at a solo raid, probably gravedigger, so be it
like a quarter of a percent worse you'll manage
I still use Sugar as a backup on Special Interception and Event Challenges with GD. She's still mechanically one of the best counters to it.
This is unlike D Killer Wife, I thought people will laugh at me for spending 170 pulls for mlb
If gd prepare to suffer motion sickness
What I'm scared SU will do is make collab Stellar Blade release a hyper broken wind DPS
They might. Once soon and again when the PC version is launched.
can we finally have some s-risk depression story? Say if Gatekeeper was near the Ark?
new unit releases ranked according to their design and tuning on release (so pre-buff RH):
couldn't find her on the tiermaker I was using

Crown is in no way innovative.
I disagree
And Rosanna being down there means this is quite biased.
Rosanna is actually quite nicely designed.
Nero too.
They def put good thought into where Crown could land and what buff packages she can offer to enable potential teams and shake up the meta beyond just sloting directly into something like Dorothy Priv and calling it a day
again this is by release
Rosanna can't do her job on release
Nero too
and I'm p sure afaik nero is still trash
She can. Just that the tech hasn't been discovered.
dunno about Rosanna
Nah, Nero is used.
