Review

Review

Mica: Snow Buddy has a dedicated review/guide available. You can find it by following the link below.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Cleanse debuffs and stack refresh; both are situationally useful.

  • Some skills' trigger intervals can be shortened with Max Ammo buffs and OL.

  • Provides ATK buff, regardless of its low value.

  • Provides permanent teamwide Damage Reduction and Max Ammo, great for ammo-dependent units.

  • One of the better replacements for B1 in Raids and PvP if you lack the Meta units.

  • Decent Burst Generation thanks to her Skill 2.

Cons

  • Needs high investments, especially for Skill 2 to be fully effective.

  • Gives caster's ATK buff, which means weaker buff for Attackers.

  • This also forces you to invest in her gear.

  • Cannot compete with Top Tier B1 Nikkes due to her overall weaker ATK buff.

  • Feeds Burst Energy to Jackal, restricting usability in PvP.

Both Bastion and Resilience would serve her well for PvE purposes for more reliable stacking. In PvP, you can opt for Quantum instead (or even Vigor if she constantly dies before she can benefit from her Burst Skill).

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.
