Vesti-god's counter against Wind units

PvP

Vesti: Tactical Upgrade

In PvP, Wind characters are especially easy to snipe because of her DEF-ignoring damage (Rei Ayanami (Tentative Name) and Scarlet are cited as vulnerable examples).

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).

One-Nikke-Army-Vesgod

Campaign

Vesti: Tactical Upgrade· N102· Anis· Alice· Privaty

[Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] When they first dropped her, people were kinda disappointed with her Bossing power (which is the most famous mode in Nikke - Solo Raid). But eventually we figure out what a monster Shift Up has let loose onto their game. Vesgod is the one woman army. On Burst, off Burst, buffer has or not, it doesn't matter. If loving you is the work of God, then Vesti's work is sending you back to Him. 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.

Crowntr Team

Campaign

Crown· Anis: Star· Naga· Vesti: Tactical Upgrade· Rapi: Red Hood

[Source: prydwen.gg Team Database] This team is less comfy than the team above, but they can deal way more damage. By using this team, you may want to turn off "Auto Burst" and control Burst time yourself, because these Nikkes have very impactful Bursts that need to be used at proper time to make the most out of them.
