Review

Review

As it has been a long time since the initial analysis of Maiden and in light of the ever-evolving meta, the dedicated review has been hidden. Furthermore, Maiden has fallen out of fashion when it comes to PVE content. Consider using other higher-ranked units from our tier list if possible. The character is part of the meta in PVP. For more information, visit our PVP meta guide.

Investment Tips

Cube Investment

We are currently updating all cube investment tips as some of them are outdated! The warning will vanish once everything is up to date.

Pre-overload
  • Assault Cube

    Assault Cube

  • Resilience Cube

Post-overload
  • Assault Cube

    Assault Cube

  • Resilience Cube

    Resilience Cube

Assault Cube helps Shotgun wielders to actually hit something past Near range. While the Resilience Cube is a generic DPS increase (but it's better in scenarios when you fight stuff only in Near range as there Hit Rate isn't that useful).

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.
