Review

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

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Provides a unique Attack Damage buff, which is rarely diluted and usually stands as an independent multiplier.

  • Grants Independent Shield every burst cycle, which allows the team to evade dangerous attacks over and over.

  • Self-sustainable thanks to multiple recovery skills (cover + lifesteal), alongside taunts to divert attacks away from key units.

  • Unique Re-Enter Burst Stage I trait.

  • Assists her major pair, Naga, to activate the dominant parts of her skills with ease.

  • Can provide above average burst generation in Campaign due to her being an RL; less sensitive to enemy distance.

Cons

  • Her constant taunt may be a blessing or a curse; it may be a threat to her existence.

  • If her cover is destroyed, she loses the Attack Damage buff permanently.

  • Can be a manual-heavy Nikke depending on the stage.

  • Limited flexibility as her best pair is Naga, who provides Tia with the best sustain through her constant taunt. Less versatile than Bunnies in general.

  • You're forced to run a 2-1-2 formation due to her Re-Enter Burst Stage I skill.

  • With Naga being her best pair, she only optimally works with units that can hit cores all the time.

You can use Resilience/Bastion for CP padding in campaign, although Tia has a mechanic relied on attack, you actually don't want it to trigger more often. Either she will die, or your cover die. In both cases, you are pretty much guaranteed a retry. Just make sure she stays alive with Vigor.

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.
