Appears in 2 teams

SG Team ft. DrakeT

Boss

Tove· Viper· Soda: Twinkling Bunny· Leona· Drake

[Source: prydwen.gg character page] This Brilliant SG Team is a classic that can deal the most damage without using Blanc-Noir or Tia-Naga. Here, Drake can be used as Off-Burst as well as the Main Burst, depending on whether she is Phase 2 or Phase 3 Treasure. If a healer is needed, replace Viper Treasure with a healer (if it is Fire-Weak) or Drake/Soda: Twinkling Bunny (if it is Electric-Weak) or, better yet, change the team entirely and use our other recommended teams. (Element: Water)

Run It Down ft. 5 SGs

PvP

Drake· Sugar· Noir· Soda: Twinkling Bunny· Viper

[Source: prydwen.gg character page] This is a team for ATK only. The idea behind this team is that you counter a defensive team without proper P1 protection, i.e. to undo their Burst Chain or simply just to kill them before they can retaliate. No, this team cannot reach Full Burst, but who needs that if the enemy is already dead? Alternatively, you can use Pepper/Viper or any other B1/B2 as deemed necessary if you do need Full Burst. Or use Makima if you counter SG teams alike (defending SG hits P5). You can slot in Anis: Sparkling Summer and Privaty: Unkind Maid and replace any of the SGs above if they are more invested. You can also use Laplace (Treasure) because she also hurts right off the bat, not to mention the splash. Ultimately, investments (and element counters) determine damage dealt, and CP is important for avoiding stat penalty from CP deficit. Do pay attention to Burst Gen (if you are planning to Full Burst with this team).

Pick the NIKKEs you own and we'll build the best 5-member team including Viper.
