Investment & usage

Treasure: No mention of a Treasure.

Investment profile: Overload setup matters little for her, so a light build is enough. Skills: minimum 4/4/4, cost-efficient Skill 1 at 7 / Skill 2 at 10 / Burst at 10, endgame 10/10/10.

Skill priority: Burst Skill >= Skill 2 > Skill 1

Overload priority: She is not a damage dealer and none of her skills key off ammo, so Overload is low priority. Simply crafting the gear is enough.

Totem usage: Burst 2, 40s cooldown. [Based on the skill text + user confirmation] She is different from the usual "totem" (a slot where you never use the Burst) — Mast does use her Burst, just not every cycle: she banks stacks first. Skill 1 "A Pirate's Heart" adds one Drunken stack, up to 3, each time she enters Burst stage 1, and while Drunken she permanently grants all allies crit rate ▲ 11.85% and ATK ▲ 20.69%. Both her Skill 2 (all allies: distributed damage and reload speed ▲, scaling with stack count) and her Burst Skill (all allies: crit damage ▲ 23.51% + attack damage ▲ 8.89%, plus ATK ▲ 11.85% × stack count while Drunken) scale with the stack count, so using the Burst after reaching 3 stacks is the maximum-efficiency line. The standard rotation therefore has Crown (Burst 2, 20s cooldown) drive the first and second cycles and Mast use her Burst on the third — the Korean community calls this "K-K-M" (Crown-Crown-Mast). If Full Burst ends while she is at max stacks she takes a Hangover penalty (10s stun), so it is best to always spend the Burst at 3 stacks. Mast appears in 14 of the 20 recorded real-usage campaign teams, always alongside Crown (the strongest real-usage evidence among registered entries; PvE weight 40.90, versus 4.18 for second-place Helm).

A character who must be run as a set with Anchor: Innocent Maid — her solo performance is ordinary, but as a pair they cover each other's weaknesses. Good synergy with distributed-damage dealers (Scarlet: Black Shadow, Dorothy, Quency: Escape Queen). Rated as the second-best buffer after Crown, and close to mandatory in the Elysion Tower.

Showing 6 representative teams.

El-Macho

Campaign

Mast: Romantic Maid· Anchor: Innocent Maid

[Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] This place was once for Blanc and Noir, but let's be real, they are outclassed heavily by this duo. El Ma-cho gives way stronger buff unconditionally, strong healing and comes with insane reload speed which allows you to ignore Ammo OL completely. Substitutions: -

Auto Team

Campaign

Liter· Mast: Romantic Maid· Vesti: Tactical Upgrade· Rapi: Red Hood· Anchor: Innocent Maid

[Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] At this level, this team brings a lot to the table, and unless it's a very nasty stage where a lot of oneshot mobs are spawned, you can use this team to play automatically. It's balanced and well-rounded with heal, offensive, buffs. Substitutions: Vesti: Tactical Upgrade, Rapi: Red Hood can be replaced with: Cinderella, the better Scarlet. Huge wipe, strong DPS, and Blanc gives her everything she wants too (HP + Damage increase). Scarlet: Black Shadow is a great choice, but when the penalty starts breathing on her neck, her clearing power is not as impressive as at lower penalty. Modernia: is clapped hard by Rapi, both in single target and AoE, but if you don't have Rapi, Modernia is still very good. Incase you don't have Liter, of course you pick Siren here. But if you don't even have Siren. Pepper is a decent healer with high offensive power. She doesn't reduce cooldown, but she heals a lot with her Burst. D: Killer Wife / Rouge also provide Cooldown Reduction (CDR) just like Liter, except their other buffs feel pale compared to Liter. Dorothy brings both CDR and offensive power on her own. Definitely a good alternative. Note that Dorothy is a Pilgrim so it's not easy to roll her. N102 is your go-to when you don't have any of the above Nikke, go N102. If you are missing Crown, you can use Tia.

Auto Team (No Liter)

Campaign

Little Mermaid· Mast: Romantic Maid· Vesti: Tactical Upgrade· Rapi: Red Hood· Anchor: Innocent Maid

[Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] An auto Team variation without Liter. Substitutions: Vesti: Tactical Upgrade, Rapi: Red Hood can be replaced with: Cinderella, the better Scarlet. Huge wipe, strong DPS, and Blanc gives her everything she wants too (HP + Damage increase). Scarlet: Black Shadow is a great choice, but when the penalty starts breathing on her neck, her clearing power is not as impressive as at lower penalty. Modernia: is clapped hard by Rapi, both in single target and AoE, but if you don't have Rapi, Modernia is still very good. Siren can bre replaced with: Pepper is a decent healer with high offensive power. She doesn't reduce cooldown, but she heals a lot with her Burst. D: Killer Wife / Rouge also provide Cooldown Reduction (CDR) just like Liter, except their other buffs feel pale compared to Liter. Dorothy brings both CDR and offensive power on her own. Definitely a good alternative. Note that Dorothy is a Pilgrim so it's not easy to roll her. N102 is your go-to when you don't have any of the above Nikke, go N102. If you are missing Crown, you can use Tia.

Elysion Best Tribe Tower Team

Tower

Rapi: Red Hood· Mast: Romantic Maid· Vesti: Tactical Upgrade· Helm· Anchor: Innocent Maid

[Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] This is the most commonly used team in Elysion tower. It has nice AoE + huge DPS from Rapi and Vesti, decent heal with Helm Treasure and very strong heal - tank for team with HP buff from Anchor. A very brain dead team, should put on auto and forget. Substitutions: This Team is part of Meta Teams - Tribe Tower Guide. Check here for further information and viable substitutes.

Pierce Heaven

Boss

Crown· Anis: Star· Red Hood· Cinderella: Crystal Wave· Mast: Romantic Maid

[Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] When using Red Hood, save her B1 to be used with her B3 and Maid Mast's Burst at 3 stacks once a fight. Burst Maid Mast every third burst (Crown → Crown → Mast). However, there will be situations where you need Crown to go third instead for her shield. When that happens, Burst Maid Mast at 2 stacks instead (Crown → Mast → Crown). Substitutions: Anis: Star may be replaced with Little Mermaid or Rapi: Red Hood or Liter. Red Hood or Cinderella: Crystal Wave may be replaced with Rapi: Red Hood, Milk: Blooming Bunny, Laplace (Treasure), or Raven. Mast: Romantic Maid may be replaced with Naga or Privaty (Treasure) or Helm (Treasure) or Helm: Aquamarine. (Element: Iron)

Cinderella vs Ultra

Boss

Crown· Anis: Star· Cinderella: Crystal Wave· Helm· Mast: Romantic Maid

[Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] Cinderella just keeps winning and replaces Rapi: Red Hood in her funneling team. Switch Cinderella: Crystal Wave to Sniper mode for phase 1, and MG mode for phase 2. Burst Maid Mast with Cinderella as much as possible. However, there will be situations where you need Crown burst for her shield. Substitutions: Anis: Star may be replaced with Little Mermaid or Rapi: Red Hood. Cinderella: Crystal Wave may be replaced with Rapi: Red Hood. Helm (Treasure) may be replaced with Snow White: Heavy Arms. (Element: Iron)
