Review

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

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • BEST UNIT IN GAME with INSANE DPS

  • The only unit who can use Burst Skill in any Burst Stages

  • Can act as a DPS or a buffer

  • Can convert excess charge speed into charge damage

  • Unconditional pierce, allowing her to deal much more damage against clustered mobs and parts

  • Possesses the highest ATK buff in Burst I despite the 40s CD

  • Large pierce radius; hitting multiple mobs in close proximity has never been easier

  • Has a taunt, a lifesteal, and HP potency for emergencies

  • Unlike Alice, she is usable at lower investments

  • Endless campaign and Pilgrim Tower potential

Cons

  • Burst Skill has a 40s CD even when used in Burst Stage I or II (except for the first activation)

  • Her Burst Skill in Stage II requires her to also use Burst Skill in Stage III in the same rotation, else it may backfire if healing < damage taken

  • The zoomed-in scope during Burst Skill may make it hard to spot out-of-reach enemies if manually controlled

  • Skill investment dependent

  • Pilgrim unit; obtaining outside special banner is luck-dependent

Investment Tips

Cube Investment

  • Adjutant Cube

Post-overload
  • Resilience Cube

  • Bastion Cube

  • Adjutant Cube

    Adjutant Cube

Red doesn't actually need any cube, so a generic DPS cube like Bastion/Resilience is okay. You can actually put Adjutant if it's the same level as your highest lvl cube to increase her overall DPS by a small margin! Or using Vigor (Hp) Cube to manipulate Blanc's Indomitable in PVP too.

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.
