Investment & usage

Treasure: At the time this guide was written (before the Treasure system released) there is no mention of a Treasure. As a Burst 1 she is effectively a locked-in pick; as a Burst 3 the supporting pieces to run alongside her are scarce, so building a team around her is comparatively awkward.

Investment profile: Minimum 4/4/4; the cost-efficient line is Skill 1 and Burst at 10 with Skill 2 at 7; endgame is 10/10/10. She can serve as either Burst 1 or Burst 3.

Skill priority: Skill 1 = Burst Skill > Skill 2 (Skill 2 is still worth taking to 10 eventually)

Overload priority: Max Ammo = Elemental Damage > ATK (at least 3 Max Ammo lines, up to 4 each of Elemental Damage and ATK; she is a machine gun so Hit Rate lines are unnecessary)

She was strong enough at release to be called the first "Overspec" NIKKE. Her skill set automatically converts her to Burst 1 when the Burst 1 slot is empty (the first NIKKE with a dual advantage code: Fire + Iron). Run her as Burst 1 with Crown, Scarlet: Black Shadow or Alice, or add Naga as a totem for stability. Not recommended for PvP because of how machine guns behave there.

Appears in 112 teams

Showing 6 representative teams.

Auto team (balanced beginner composition)

Campaign

Vesti: Tactical Upgrade· Rapi: Red Hood· Liter

A safe auto-battle team with healing, ATK buffs and cooldown reduction evenly mixed. Vesti and Rapi can be swapped for Cinderella, Scarlet: Black Shadow or Modernia, and Liter can be swapped for Pepper (no cooldown reduction but strong healing) or D: Killer Wife / Rouge (normal-attack-triggered cooldown reduction).

Elysion Tower recommended team

Tower

Rapi: Red Hood· Helm· Anchor: Innocent Maid

An auto-battle-focused team that adds Treasure Helm's healing and Anchor's stored-HP buff on top of wide-area damage (Rapi and Vesti).

Blaze-ing Through Campaign ft. Rapi

Campaign

Crown· Little Mermaid· Rapi: Red Hood· Helm· Modernia

[Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] A very basic team for Campaign. Rapi provides high single target and AoE DPS, while Mod and Helm are used according to the situation. Since both of the Fire DPS are MG units, they can hunt down any rapture with ease because MG units can easily lock on to core. If you need AoE support, burst with Modernia, but otherwise just burst with HelmT to ensure the team lives through anything. If your Modernia is not well built, but your Rapi has great OL gear, you may sub her out for Naga. This way, you basically funnel all buffs into Rapi and allow her to showcase why she is the best unit in the game. This team is usable accross any element! Substitutions: HelmT can be replaced with Maid Mast or Naga if Siren is B1. Siren may be replaced by other B1-CDR units if HelmT is in the team for burst generation. Modernia can be replaced by Naga if you have a well invested Rapi.

Blaze-ing Through Campaign ft. Solohood (CDR + RH Variant)

Campaign

Crown· Little Mermaid· Rapi: Red Hood· Red Hood· Helm

[Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] A very strong contender for the easiest to use Campaign team for players who prefer bossing modes over others, and are not looking to invest into the likes of VestiTU for example. Red Hood's burst generation ensures that the team can get to next burst before Siren's cooldown time. Not just that, but the addition of HelmT as a B3 support means you can do a special combo for players looking to push into higher deficits. While for the first few bursts you would be following the usual pattern of RRH->RH->RRH.., you can break this pattern by bursting with Helm once to heal the team to full (especially useful against Bronchus (farter)), and then using RH-B1 with Rapi's B3 to deal devestating damage to the final boss of the stage. This ensures that the team doesn't die to chip damage and confirms the kill. Substitutions: - [The same team described by another source — "Surf-ing Through Campaign ft. Rapihelm (CDR + RH Variant)"] [Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] The Red Hood variant of the Rapi: Red Hood + HelmTr team. Substitutions: - (Element: Water)

Blaze-ing Through Campaign ft. Alice

Campaign

Crown· Rapi: Red Hood· Alice· Little Mermaid· Helm

[Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] A fully built Alice is a beast for Fire-Weak campaign. She scales well with basically every buffer, but this specific combo of Alice paired with Rapi has everything: Burst Generation with Alice, Helm and Siren, AoE Damage with Rapi and Alice's pierce, Single Target Focus DPS with Alice piercing through shields even! A very strong team and probably the best if not the best if not for Vesti's AoE being so useful in later stages where clearing a few small mobs such as Volleyballs becomes a neccessity. HelmT can even be replaced with Red-Hood or Maid Mast for making use of ATK buffs to counter higher CP Deficits! Substitutions: HelmT can be replaced with Maid Mast for her reload and ATK buffs, or Red-Hood for her B1 stage. Siren may be replaced with any other B1-CDR if you do not have her yet. (Element: Fire)

Blaze-ing Through Campaign ft. Asupi (CDR Variant)

Campaign

Crown· Asuka Shikinami Langley· Little Mermaid· Rapi: Red Hood· Helm

[Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] Asuka is a strong DPS for fire, especially for stages without any shielders. No shields = no one to stop Asuka's teammates from making use of Asuka's core damage bonus for fire allies. Even if there are shields, Asuka deals higher damage to them, making them break early allowing for faster wave clearing. Not to mention, she can even hit raptures through shields thanks to her pierce! Substitutions: HelmT may be replaced with Red Hood's B1 or Maid Mast. Make sure at least one burst gen assist unit is in the team before replacing Siren for another CDR. (Element: Fire)
