Character Summary
Nikketa is a single-target damage dealer designed around her Ultimate skill auto-trigger passive, which allows her to frequently auto-trigger her Ultimate for massive damage. Nikketa is among the premier damage dealer options within her single-target niche. To briefly cover the mechanic:
Nikketa is accompanied in combat by Kulich, her robot dog companion
Kulich is stationary turret summon who counterattacks up to once per round
When Kulich counterattacks, Nikketa will auto-trigger her Ultimate skill against the same target
Nikketa’s Ultimates are amplified through her Guilt mechanic:
Nikketa tags enemies with Guilt, a damage taken debuff, on Skill 1 and Skill 2
When Nikketa triggers her Ultimate skill against an enemy with Guilt (either as her action, or as an auto-trigger from Kulich), she will perform an additional attack
Fixed Keys
Fixed Keys core to Nikketa’s function are:
02-01 - Righteous Doll: This key gives Nikketa 1 Confectance Index after any of her skills, including when her Ultimate is activated through her summon’s counters. This will allow her to Ultimate more often as well as dealing extra damage for any excess Confectance Index she has.
02-03 - Messenger of Justice: This key bumps her stability damage by 2 for any targets afflicted by Guilt, allowing her to get through enemy stability faster and punch through any cover or stability-based mechanics.
Fixed Keys of contextual relevance that supplement Nikketa’s core function are:
04-03 - Just Desserts: Skill 1 now generates Tideway tiles, giving Nikketa a means of applying Hydro weakness for all the damage amplifying effects it provides.
06-03 - Oppressive Air: Gives Nikketa the ability to source her own Attack Up II self-buff. This fixed key tends to be made redundant by the fact that teams try to plan around having a dedicated Attack Up II buffer, but her ability to self-buff can still be valuable in less optimized setups.
Mod Key
As of writing, Nikketa does not yet have a Mod Key.
Character Function
Nikketa easily slots in any team as a straightforward damage dealer who doesn’t introduce much in the way of additional team building considerations (no specific enablers needed). Nikketa performs well across all game modes. Naturally, as an exceptional single-target damage dealer, she is good against bosses.
Character Synergies
Nikketa is most commonly played as a low-maintenance addition to the existing Springfield(V1)-Tololo(V2) pairing* for Springfield's hydro DMG% buffs. This is primarily to take advantage of Springfield’s potent Overflowing Care buff, which converts excess healing received into hydro DMG%.
Springfield already applies Overflowing Care as a team-wide buff on her Ultimate Skill. By alternating her targeted Overflowing Care on her Skill 2, Springfield is able to maintain the buff on both Nikketa and Tololo. This allows Nikketa to fit neatly into the Springfield(V1)-Tololo(V2) pairing without disrupting the established flow of the duo.
*See Springfield’s character review tab for a detailed breakdown on the pairing.
Vertebrae Breakpoints
SSR characters are reviewed at V0/V1 strength. However, for those especially dedicated players, it is worth noting Nikketa’s significant dupe powerspikes at:
V1: S2 giving Extra Action instead of Extra Command speeds up her skill cooldowns and Confectance Index generation, allowing her to use S2 and Ultimate every turn and boosting her damage output.
V3: Her summon counterattacks an additional time each turn, which means Nikketa also follows up with her ultimate an extra time each turn.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great single-target damage output.
Self-sufficient kit gives her the flexibility to slot into any comp with minimal teambuilding considerations to accommodate her.
Cons
None.

Preferred Attachments and Stats
Attachment Bonus
Phase Strike: Deals 15% increased damage to targets with Phase Element debuffs.
[Elemental] Boost: When dealing [Elemental] damage, the damage is increased by 20%.
Phase Strike is the standard set across all characters due to its universal compatibility and negligible damage difference compared to [Elemental] Boost sets. The 5% difference between +15% Phase Strike and +20% [Elemental] Boost translates to only a 1~3% overall damage increase. Farming new sets and calibrating existing ones both demand stamina; by focusing on fewer shared Phase Strike sets, players can allocate more stamina towards attachment calibration for higher attachment quality and better overall performance.
Support sets (e.g., Ultimate Pursuit, Emergency Repair) are ineffective and are not recommended for targeted farming.
Attachment Substat Priority
Crit DMG% >= ATK% > Flat ATK > Crit Rate
Important! There is already more than enough damage within the character roster to meet the damage thresholds to clear at-level content. Endlessly rerolling calibration% in pursuit of incremental higher numbers has minimal impact on actual gameplay performance. To the average player, attachment calibration min-maxing is unnecessary.
Preferred Weapons
The following weapons are listed in order of relevance. All other weapons are considered broadly comparable in performance, and do not merit individual discussion.
Preferred weapons include:
Bittersweet Caramel
Bittersweet Caramel boasts a potent +10% DEF Ignore Trait and a synergistic weapon passive that greatly boosts Nikketa’s damage output. Bittersweet Caramel noticeably outperforms Nikketa’s signature weapon, Guardian Silverwing.
Samosek
Samosek performs on par with Guardian Silverwing, with Samosek’s Crit DMG% weapon substat even giving it the slightest edge in damage.
[All other SSR Weapons]
SSR weapons will always outperform SR alternatives in damage on account of their higher base ATK stat and added weapon substat, which SR weapons notably lack. In the absence of a more compatible alternative, any SSR weapon will suffice as a statstick stand-in.
