Tribe Towers - Team Composition

Tetra Tower

Although Tetra supporters are not as busted as Missilis, Mustang has his trump card with Bunnies Goddess.

About the team

Alice and Milk are the real MVP here. Insane single target DPS with pierce allows them to clean a lot of mobs in very short time, even elite/boss too. And Xlud will provide a lot of DPS on her own while also increasing Alice/Milk damage. Note that Moran must be Treasure phase 2 at least to have 20s cd and CDR.

Substitutions

-

• 
  Rouge: Old good B1 when you don't have
  
  Moran (Treasure) (phase 2+)
• 
  Blanc: Only usable when you have
  
  Noir or
  
  Rouge
• 
  Noir: Can replace
  
  Ludmilla: Winter Owner as an off burst buffer. Her value is very low in today's standard, but it's better than nothing.
• 
  Soda: Twinkling Bunny: Easily the best AoE wiper for Tetra tower. You may need to swap
  
  Ludmilla: Winter Owner for
  
  Soda: Twinkling Bunny on some stages, or when you don’t have her due to being Seasonal Limited.
• 
  Anis: Sparkling Summer: You can replace a DPS with
  
  Anis: Sparkling Summer if you have rouge. blanc only needs 1 member of 777 squad, be it
  
  Noir or
  
  Rouge. And S.Anis deals a lot of damage on her own.
• 
  Noise: Very strong “healer” and “taunter” in Nikke. Sometimes when
  
  Blanc alone is not enough, you may want to rely on
  
  Noise to tank those rough damage. She can be paired with
  
  Sakura if you lack Volume.
• 
  Volume: When you don't have
  
  Rouge or
  
  Moran (Treasure) phase 2, use her as CDR
• 
  Anis: Our trusty, always adorable and funny
  
  Anis will always be there to fill in the spot for B2 if you lack other B2s.

Example of an evil stage, this player had to cope with Ludmilla!

Rebuilt Cucumber burns very hard

Elysion

Funnily enough, by the time this guide is updated (Sep 28, 2025), Elysion is considered the easiest and strongest tower. They are so strong to a point you run no Electric Nikke against Mirror Container, accept the damage loss during Elemental shield, tank the fail QTEs, and still be able to kill it. The goat.

Characters

About the team

This is the most commonly used team in Elysion tower. It has nice AoE + huge DPS from Rapi, decent heal with Helm Treasure and very strong heal - tank for team with Kinda HP buff from Anchor. A very brain dead team, should put on auto and forget.

Substitutions

-

• 
  Vesti: Tactical Upgrade: God of war has descended upon us in the appearance of a Loli with the strength of 1000 men. Vesti hits so hard and so big nothing survives her Rockets, beside the boss, which Rapi will come in handy. You will see Vesti in the lowest clear of campaign and normal towers too. The goat. If you use her, put Rapi in B1
• 
  Privaty (Treasure): The treasure version of Privaty changes everything. She’s now the 3rd strongest water DPS, 2nd most valuable water Nikke. You can run something like
  
  Rapi: Red Hood(as B1) -
  
  Mast: Romantic Maid -
  
  Privaty (Treasure) -
  
  Helm (Treasure) -
  
  Anchor: Innocent Maid. This team has decent aoe, strong heal, annoying stun and can pin a target down easily.
• 
  Maiden: Ice Rose: Maiden can replace
  
  Helm (Treasure). Her single target nuke can take down important target really quick, with the help of
  
  Guillotine and
  
  Phantom. Seasonal limited btw.
• 
  Eunhwa: Tactical Upgrade: If you don't have Maids, TEunhwa is your best friend. She is likely to be better than
  
  Diesel too. Gives Damage Taken and deals good True Damage.
• 
  Emma: Tactical Upgrade - If you don't have Maids, you can use TEmma (with the pre-requisite that
  
  Eunhwa: Tactical Upgrade is also used). TEmma gives huge ATK, True Damage, and Damage Taken buffs/debuffs.
• 
  Soline: Frost Ticket: If you don't have/run Maids and you don't have
  
  D: Killer Wife, you may be able to use Soline as your off-burst CDR. Note that she requires another B1, so no 1-2-2 (hence no Maids) or 1-1-3 formation. You can only run her with another B1 like
  
  Miranda (Treasure) or
  
  Emma: Tactical Upgrade and
  
  Eunhwa: Tactical Upgrade combo.

Pilgrim - Overspec Tower

Pilgrim is Easy Mode tower, that’s a fact. But there’s another sad fact: They rarely come home, so this tower is actually the hardest tower early on because you have to push sometimes with just 1 Nikke lmao.

Team 45

Pilgrims best tower team

Mode: Tribe Tower || Element: All

Characters

About the team

This is the most familiar team in Pilgrim Tower, with high single target damage, high wipe power, high CDR. If you notice, this team has all 5 elements, so no ele shield can annoy you.
Note that you may run Rapi as B1 here to unlock another slot for B3 DPS, because Rapi B1 still deals decent damage already.

Substitutions

• 
  Dorothy: Her CDR is weak, but it’s still better than nothing. Only rely on her if you lack both
  
  Rapi: Red Hood and
  
  Little Mermaid (Siren), in that case it’s such an unfortunate thing.
• 
  Nayuta: In fact, you may want to run Nayuta as main B2 with
  
  Crown as an off burst, because it will be even more brain dead that way. But those electric weak shields will be pretty annoying…
• 
  Scarlet: Black Shadow: Strong wiping and strong single target damage too. You can pair her with
  
  Liberalio to blow the whole battlefield quickly.
• 
  Liberalio: Too much wind, I get it, but if it's a stage without ele shield, you may want to slap
  
  Liberalio -
  
  Scarlet: Black Shadow in. They end the fight super quick.
• 
  Red Hood: Always leave a spot of tribute to our hero, Red Hood. Remember, before all those fancy Pilgrims these days, there was a time Red had to do everything.
• 
  Dorothy: Serendipity: A variation of
  
  Snow White: Heavy Arms. She hits hard, but the burst gen is where water meets.
• 
  Rapunzel: Some stages force you to bring a healer, for example, Bronchus will punish your team harshly if you don’t have any healer.
• 
  Grave: A little bit weaker than
  
  Crown. Still a very strong B2, especially in Pilgrim tower where you don’t have much choice.
• 
  Noah: Noah has everything: Taunt, Defense Up, even invulnerable temporarily… in exchange for a 40s CD! And being a brat! Still, you can use her normally with
  
  Red Hood as another B2 if you can end stage under 3 rotations (Noah => Red => Noah)
• 
  Nihilister: You must be desperate to rely on a liberation character as B2. But don’t worry, we all did before
  
  Crown!
