Review

Review

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

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Respectable tanking ability.

  • Great pair for Guillotine in PvE because she has no heal.

  • Possesses long taunts; synergizes well with Biscuit in PvP.

  • Last bullet taunt is controllable.

  • Soft counter to AoE in PvP.

  • Lifesteal with SAnis's buff allows her to recover some HP hack.

Cons

  • Cannot cover during Burst Skill.

  • Can die to one shot if an opponent rapture (or Nikke in PvP) does enough damage to reduce her HP from >20% to 0% instantly.

  • Low Burst Gen hurts PvP team-building.

  • Her protection is DMG Reduction, not healing like Noise, so she might not be able to protect your team from constant AoE (Bronchus).

  • DMG is below expectation, making her lifesteal underwhelming too.

Investment Tips

Cube Investment
Pre-overload
  • Resilience Cube

    Resilience Cube

  • Wingman Cube

    Vigor Cube

Post-overload
  • Resilience Cube

    Resilience Cube

  • Wingman Cube

    Vigor Cube

For more taunting outside Burst Skill, use Resilience. For higher HP, use Vigor. If you feel like she taunts too much outside Full Burst and want to dial it back a bit, try Bastion. However, this is not recommended! You can still use Resilience and manual her if you are worried.

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.
