Good AoE screen wipe on burst, similar to Harran's and better than Maiden's for PvP.

Cons
Quite expensive and requires investments on Tove/Leona.
Damage is not that impressive if ALONE.

Investment Tips
Cube Investment
Pre-overload
Bastion Cube
Resilience Cube
Post-overload
Bastion Cube
Resilience Cube
Most of the time, you will want to use Bastion and reload before every Full Burst to guarantee no reload during the DPS window, in case Tove loses stacks immediately, and it's even better with 1 line Max Ammo Overload. But if you have enough reload speed (SAnis in team), you can use Resilience instead.
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.
