Blaze-ing Through Campaign ft. Rapi
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
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!
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)
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
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.

Blaze-ing Through Campaign ft. Alice
Mode: Campaign || Element: Fire
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!
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.
Blaze-ing Through Campaign ft. Asupi (CDR Variant)
Mode: Campaign || Element: Fire
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!
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.
Blaze-ing Through Campaign ft. Asulice (Rapi as B1)
Mode: Campaign || Element: Fire
Well, we've seen enough about Rapi B3. It is now time to discuss Rapi as B1. Rapi doesn't buff a lot as B1, but she really doesn't need to considering the damage she dishes out. A manaul intensive Alice for burst generation gets all the assist she needs from Asuka and Rapi that she needs to ensure that the stage is cleared! Fire mains can try using this team to achieve high deficit clears for the leaderboards. With both main B3s and the B1 being core focused units (with the B3s having pierce as well), Naga can also assist this team well. ATK buffs and reload speed from Maid Mast also allow for heavily improved DPS.
HelmT may be replaced with Maid Mast, Naga or RH-B1.
Breeze-ing Through Campaign ft. SBLice (RRH CDR Variant)
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
For Low deficit players, there is nothing better than a good SBS! And who better to pair her with than Alice! Alice provides the single target focus damage that SBS does not have while there is a large number of mobs on the screen. Meanwhile, SBS with elemental damage is simply.. lovely! 2+ years since her release, and she is still probably the best low deficit DPS to exist in Nikke, even with all the new tech we have with units like Rapi etc. But who says no to using Rapi? If you lack Siren, just use Rapi to cover all your bases for wind weak content! She will assist not only Alice in focus target DPS, but also SBS by doing chip damage to mobs. All is well and easy in low deficit as long as you have SBS. You may take advantage of Maid Mast's Distributed Damage and ATK buffs to further buff your Scarlet, provided that you are able to properly burst gen with Alice.
HelmT may be replaced by Maid Mast.
Zap-ping Through Campaign ft. Cindy & Ein (CDR Variant)
Mode: Campaign || Element: Electric
This team consists of Ein, who is a strong AoE mobber in Campaign especially at High Deficit thanks to her True Damage. Rapi: Red Hood is used as the other B3 because there is no other Electric B3 yet that can fill this role better (Red Hood & Alice come close). HelmTr is used to activate Crown's S2 and provide emergency heal on Burst if needed. Siren is used as CDR.
-
Zap-ping Through Campaign ft. Cindy & Ein (CDR + RH Variant)
Mode: Campaign || Element: Electric
Zap-ping Through Campaign ft. Cindy & Ein (Non-CDR Variant)
Mode: Campaign || Element: Electric
Zap-ping Through Campaign ft. Rapipi & Ein (CDR Variant)
Mode: Campaign || Element: Electric
This team is one of the best Electric stage demolishers, featuring Ein's True Damage and reliable AoE clearing as well as Rapipi's insane AoE potential, HelmTr synergizes well with Ein's lack of Core Damage and supports the team with Burst Gen (which the other 4 units lack). She also triggers Crown's S2.
-
Zap-ping Through Campaign ft. Rapipi & Ein (CDR + RH Variant)
Mode: Campaign || Element: Electric
Surf-ing Through Campaign ft. Rapihelm (CDR + Variant)
Mode: Campaign || Element: Water
Rapipi + HelmTr have been a staple Water comp for Campaign, although they are not as prominent as the rest due to HelmTr's lack of AoE potential. However, HelmTr can provide healing and insane single-target damage that, when timed properly, can change the tides of a battle, especially against Farters.
-
Surf-ing Through Campaign ft. Rapilud (CDR + Variant)
Mode: Campaign || Element: Water
Clash-ing Through Campaign ft. RRH & RH
Mode: Campaign || Element: Iron
The best and most reliable Iron clearer because RRH & RH are goated in Campaign. Does it need any more explanation? We use Naga here for Core Damage, but you can also use HelmTr for better Burst gen, healing Burst Skill (especially against Farters), and higher CP (for most players since Helm-Treasure is a top-tier Treasure priority). Higher CP negates stat penalty.

Clash-ing Through Campaign ft. RRH & Maxwell (CDR Variant)
Mode: Campaign || Element: Iron
Clash-ing Through Campaign ft. RRH & Maxwell (CDR + RH Variant)
Mode: Campaign || Element: Iron
Clash-ing Through Campaign ft. RH & Maxwell (CDR Variant)
Mode: Campaign || Element: Iron
Mermaid vs Octopus (Funneling Scarlet)
Mode: Anomaly - Kraken || Element: Wind
This is your bread and butter team to fight Kraken. The fight is super easy because you have Helm Burst and Crown shield so dying is never an option. Remember to Burst Mast every 3rd Burst. Think of it as Crown - Crown - Mast - Crown - Crown - Mast. Whoever B3 has Mast is fine.
You can replace SBS with Wind Asuka if you build her. The outcome doesn't change much though because they deliver the same output. You can even replace Siren with Rapi but we recommend keeping Siren because she has ele advantage.
Double Red against Ultra
Mode: Anomaly - Ultra || Element: Iron
Another version with completely different roster. This time, you do it slowly but steadily with the help of strongest Fire + Iron DPS - Rapipi. And Red Hood is there to pierce.
If you have Laplace built, you can actually run Rapi as B1 and dual piercers Red - Laplace instead. Remove Helm in that case.
The strongest shield vs her own shield
Mode: Anomaly - Mirror Container || Element: Electric
If it's Electric weak and you don't put Cindy in your team, that's Intentionally Throwing. This team will be able to do 13 Full Burst, with the 13th one only lasts 5s. But it deals very high damage instead.
If you want to do faster rotation, replace Sanis with Helm Treasure version. Or replace Mast with Helm.
Rapi and Helm vs Harvester
Mode: Anomaly - Harvester || Element: Water
Rapi is so strong she can even match Helm Tr with high ATK, high Ele and Phase 3 Treasure version on Water weak boss. Just pay attention during helm Burst, you don't want her Burst lands on random mob.
You can replace Rapi with Ludmilla - Winter Owner or Quency: Escape queen, but that's another DPS you have to invest. Just invest in Rapi - Crown - Siren - Mast Maid and 1 element DPS to save your precious resource.
RAMD vs Nvidia
Mode: Anomaly - Indivilla || Element: Fire
This is actually a legit team. You funnel everything to your Rapi and hope she can deal 4.5b - enough to kill Indivilla. Just pay attention, in Phase 2 Indivilla will deal piercing AoE Dmg, which can kill your Crown immediately if you don't have invulnerable on her.
You can replace Mast/Helm with Mihara, Asuka, Alice if they have good Ele + ATK lines. Indivilla has very high def, so you must prepare your DPS with high ATK to offset that.
Elysion best tower team
Mode: Tribe Tower || Element: All
The strongest Elysion team for Tribe Tower. You have heal, A LOT of heal, to a point 3 Bronchus can't even damage you. You have Burst gen and very high damage due to Rapi is the strongest B3 DPS right now.
If you don't have Duo Maid, you can use Diesel (better if Treasure) and Phantom instead. You can even run Rapi as B1 and Guillotine as B3 but in both case, the outcome will be worse.
Missilis best tower team
Mode: Tribe Tower || Element: All
The structure of Missilis team is formed by the holy trinity: Liter - Tia - Naga. With other 2 DPS are based on stages. For general use, Ein and Laplace will do. We recommend Laplace over Maxwell here because you want to Treasure Laplace so you can use her in both PVE and PVP anyway. Sometimes, you will need to swap either Ein or Laplace into Drake (also Treasure) or Quency: Escape Queen to deal with elemental weak stages.
-
Tetra best tower team #1
Mode: Tribe Tower || Element: All
Tetra is special, they can form 2 different teams and each has their own advantage and disadvantage distinctively. This team is the original, featuring 2 ~ 3 heavy DPS, depending on stage. You want Anis against Electric weak stage, else just put Noir in her place and let Alice + Xlud cover the rest. This team lacks AoE power, so you may find yourself in a pickle against some stages.
-
Tetra best tower team #2
Mode: Tribe Tower || Element: All
With the release of Crust and Bready, we can now run them together for a very decent and constant AoE blast. Bready requires Crust to trigger her Distribute Damage, else she will have no skill. Crust requires you to fast tap her 3 times from the very start to trigger her buff, else on auto she also has 0 skill. This team is such a hassle to play, but it's indeed strong.
You can replace Xlud with Blanc for a more comfortable gameplay but weaker damage output.
2 RL instant nuke
Mode: PVP || Element: All
The bread and butter comp in PVP. You win by flashing your enemy before they can do anything. The combination of Red Hood B1 ATK buff and Trina B2 buffs will be enough for Scarlet to kill everything. The neat part? It's still 2 RL speed (after RL shoots 2 times, you fill your Burst gauge completely)
-
One-Nikke-Army-Vesgod
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
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.
-
One-Nikke-Army-Rapi:RedHood
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
The SSR version of our female protagonist brings shame to all current Nikkes ingame. She excels in both single target and AoE wiping, just like SBS (below) without the distributing damage fallback. She can even help you as a decent B1 CDR when you lack a proper team and just have her + another One Nikke Army. Disadvantage? Require your device to run at 60 FPS consistently.
-
One-Nikke-Army-Modernia
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
One-Nikke-Army-SBS
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
Tia + Naga
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
The famous school girls of Missilis, known for their absurd “power” (whatever meaning you want). They are so strong that you can use any DPS with them and it still works wonderfully. Problem with them is, you need another Burst I here: Tia - Burst I - Naga - Burst III - Burst III. Example B3 can be high ranking in Tier List
-
El-Macho
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
Auto Team
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
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.
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)
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
An auto Team variation without Liter.
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.
Crown Naga team
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
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.
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.

If you are missing Crown, you can use Tia.
Old "God team
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
They used to be the most braindead team in Nikke until Blanc-Noir were released. This team has wipe, strong DPS, CDR, a shield that blocks most instant death attacks once in a while, and a nice passive heal from Rapunzel that doesn’t even require her Bursting. Rapunzel can even come in clutch with her revival Burst, saving your run from a disaster. Heavily out-classed by the Bunnies team, but if your Bunnies are not completely, you can go this route.
-
Manual play with lots of clicking
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
This is the traditional team pushing story. They have semi wipe with Privaty (mostly, just stun), boss killing with Alice (requires extremely high investment but she’s worth), and damage buffers with Maxwell + Liter + Privaty. Problem is, they require you to “aim” manually, and it’s not a good experience aiming those small flying Raptures from afar. Highly NOT recommended, just putting them here as a tribute to the past.
-
Vesgod team
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
School girls team
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
Same as Vesgod Team but with more offensive power. School girls team is pretty much meta in all Story stages later on, with a few exceptions on the high healing demand stages, like against Bronchus. This team has a high risk variation, which will be mentioned later on.
Tia can be replaced with Crown (should be, in fact), and Liter can be replaced with Siren or any faster CDR after chapter 23.
Improvised Alice Maxwell team
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
Updated version of old Alice Maxwell team, but this time you have super strong buffers which are Crown and Naga. You also replace Maxwell with Alice 2.0 - yeah she's named Milk. Worst part? Milk is even more difficult to play than Alice.
Crown can be replaced with Grave, but in that case, please change Naga into Helm Treasure version or Ada Wong, because Naga without a shield on herself is basically wasted of slot.
No more Tia team - God Comp #1
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
To push at this level, not only you have to fully invest in these Nikkes, but also you have to rely on good Overload roll, and Elemental advantage. And of course, your own SKILLS! This is where you can brag among all other commanders how good you are, because you are pushing under a penalty that feels impossible. This Team is the best replacement (yes, replacement) for the Not-So-Normal Crown Team, and outperforms it (sometimes) on Defense and Base Defense Stages, or some particular stages where it feels necessary to need more than 2-3 Bursts, or it feels necessary to get the 3rd Burst faster. Notice that we put Siren here. It’s because after Chapter 23, you will notice using Liter will leave you with some odd 4s cool-down after first Burst to second Burst. These 4s will, most of the time, force you to restart the fight because the game leaves you literally no room to wait between first and second Burst. By the way, in this deficit, the enemy's defense will feel so high your Nikke deals very little damage, except Vesgod - she ignores all defense! In fact, if you don’t feel like running those teams below, you can just spam this team, it works.
If you don’t have Siren, D: Killer Wife and Rouge work just fine.
No more Tia team - God Comp #2
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
Almost same as the team above but this time we have Red Hood here, who is super versatile and can go Red - Crown - Red to focus all of your dps into a short Window (normally sniping down the boss). There're some example gameplay here because this team is kinda old, not much people relying on her these days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QxtSsOfVSQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOacKhNRVVM
-
Not-So-Normal Crown Team - God Comp #3
Mode: Campaign || Element: All
Okay these teams will blow your mind, not only from how you craft them, but also you will say: Is that even possible? Key Point to Note: Red Hood is the Solo Burst I Unit, and DO NOT USE RAPI: The Hood here because she will be B1 version This team can deal with stages by relying on 2, or at maximum 3 full Bursts to pass a stage. When you use Red Hood as Burst 1 only, you have an insanely high amount of attack buffs over 10s, and you can even do it twice before she goes on cooldown. It allows you to bring 2 DPS, which will a lot of times be Modernia + Nikke that matches the “Weak Element” of the Stage. Ideally, the B3 choices depend on the stage, and aren’t as easy as - this stage is Wind Weak, so I will pick Vesti: Tactical Upgrade / Scarlet: Black Shadow Huh? Why is Vesti in Wind weak? It’s because there will be a time when you face so many Raptures at once that your SBS damage is splitted too much; it deals meme damage. When that time comes, please remember praying to Vesgod and she will answer. (1145F for example). You want to study the stage step by step and see what best helps you progress from one wave to the other wave, and what the next wave requires. At times, you might need to i-frame to dodge Remnant Raptures, or hold your Burst while your Modernia kills off Raptures outside of Burst.
