Elegg has a dedicated review/guide available. You can find it by following the link below.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Offers a unique Distributed Damage buff that can even empower Dorothy.

  • ATK buff that lasts a long time.

  • Notable damage boost to projectiles constantly.

  • Machine guns have unlimited reach.

  • Can both be DPS & support for meta units.

  • A voluptuous egg.

Cons

  • Reliant on Max Ammo as DPS.

  • Distributed Damage is a niché type of damage.

  • Boom Install debuff expires prematurely if affected enemy is killed and deactivates the trigger requirements for Skill 1 & 2.

  • Boom Install can be applied on the wrong enemy if Elegg is not being played on manual when activating.

  • Addicted to Boom; addiction is never good, so tell us — how much time do you spend in Nikke?

    Bastion Cube

You need to make sure that Elegg takes less time to reload. As a support, this is trivial, but as a DPS, it creates a noticeable difference. In most teams, Bastion is obviously the better choice. However, in reload speed teams (SAnis + Privaty), you need to do some testing first. Either Resilience or Bastion would fit your situation better, depending on Privaty's S1 investment as well as the number of OL lines. Boot into Shooting Range without equipping any cube and do normal rotations. Just before Full Burst ends, force-reload Elegg. Now, keep shooting until you reach the next Full Burst. Here are several outcomes:

  • If Elegg reloads outside Full Burst, use Bastion. If you still need to reload, get 1 Max Ammo line and try again. Or, you can try to time your reload so that it starts before Privaty's buff disappears and finishes after Privaty's debuff disappears. This way, Elegg reloads to her full ammo capacity.

  • If Elegg does not reload outside Full Burst, you can use either cube, but Resilience can save you ~11 frames per reload by reaching the >109% threshold. Do provide some leeway. For instance, having ±30 ammo when Full Burst begins is too tight. You can always get more Max Ammo lines, but it may not be efficient.

  • For both cases above, you need to make sure that Elegg does not lose fire rate when reloading by making sure Privaty's S1 is invested well enough. No, it doesn't have to be >100% or >109%. Without sufficient reload speed, reloads will cause uncomfortable hiccups during Full Burst. If this occurs, use Resilience instead and reload outside Full Burst (still reload at the end of Full Burst), or obtain Max Ammo lines.

  • That being said, we do recommend minimum 1–2 Max Ammo lines as a DPS.

Skill Investment

Here's the explanation for all the numbers and colors used in the guide:

  • 10/5/7 means upgrading Skill 1 to lvl 10, Skill 2 to lvl 5, and Burst Skill to lvl 7,
  • Yellow means the immediate investment when u get the unit. There are 3 reasons for this:
    • If the unit is Meta or High Priority, it will have a starting investment of more than 1/1/1 (such as 4/4/4) depending on what the unit provides.
    • If the unit is Medium or Low Priority, 1/1/1 will be mentioned, meaning no immediate investment is required, and you can invest in this character if you need to use it according to the priority listed.
    • If we deem that a unit does not have usable skills to be meta for any gamemode, no investment will be mentioned.
  • Blue means minimum investment to take advantage of the Nikke's skills. There are 2 reasons for this:
    • Sometimes, minimum investments are breakpoints such as for Noir or SAnis.
    • Sometimes, minimum investments are just the ideal way to progress to upgrade that unit, before moving on to Recommended and High.
  • Red means recommended investment for F2P players,
  • Purple means maximum recommended investment, in order to get the best out of the unit. You should only try to reach these investments if you have a surplus of Skill Books leftover.

More info:

  • The skill investment list below features a lot of Level 4 and 7 because they are easier to understand. Any higher levels will cost a new type of resource.
  • However, you may choose to upgrade to Level 5 if you need a stronger effect instead of 4, as the increase in Blue Manual cost from Level 4 to 5 is still low. The leap only starts from Level 6 onward.
  • There is also a leap from Level 3 to 4, so if you want to save a tiny bit of Blue Manuals, then leave at 3 instead of 4.

Priority explained:

  • Meta: Most Important Nikkes.
  • High: Good in various PvE content.
  • Medium: Good in at least one PvE content.
  • Low: Can perform well but not as good as other units / Situationally Meta / Old Meta
  • Very Low: Niche usage / Tribe Tower Units
  • Late Game: These nikkes need investments to reach their potential but are expensive to build. They should be invested after clearing Ch 23 Normal with mentioned priority.
  • PvP: These units are more used for PvP.
