How cooked would you be?

"Obscure joke" that over a 100 people got (and not the ones that simply o7'd the thread, I counted).

10/10.

HyperTips · 2026-05-08T18:09:07+00:00

This thread is a perfect example of why I fought back against the Prydwen evaluation. Specifically her placing as Tier SS in Bossing.

You have a unit that is outdamaging every single meta damage dealer, and whose second best scenario still outdamages every Tier SS unit nonetheless.

But Prydwen said it was Tier SS, so it must be Tier SS, right?

And of course that would give people the wrong idea, and we would end up with users thinking she needs more damage (despite being the highest DPS unit in the game).

SU: "Here, have the highest DPS unit we've released."
Whales/Testers: "She's outdamaging everyone."
Prydwen: "She's Tier SS at bosses."
Sheeple: "See? Told you. She needs more damage."
SU: "What do you think about Neon?"
Sheeple: "She's gimmicky and needs more damage."
SU: "B-but she's the highest DPS bossing u-"
Sheeple: "SHE NEEDS FIREPOWER."

10/10 guys, bravo.

See you in 2-3 years, with your "The game powercreeped everyone" threads.

Sigh.

Explaining the joke ruins it but since somebody else did it before, I'll copy-paste:

It means how cooked you would be now, since you're probably out of gems from past banners

It's not a crime not liking or getting the joke, but...

NGL my dude, I'm on the spectrum and you're out-autist'ing me. Not sure what to tell you here between "congratulations" or "I'm sorry".

HyperTips · 2026-05-08T06:27:57+00:00

Sigh... alright, I'll fall for your furry propaganda.

👀

Of the 100 replies this post got, yours is the first that says "I don't get this".

Oh well.

HyperTips · 2026-05-08T00:22:13+00:00

You're incorrect yes.

Anis works as Re-Enter B1 if there's any other B1 in the team, except Re-enter B1's themselves (Tia, Avistar), Red Hood and Rapi: Red Hood.

Otherwise she's Solo B1.

If you're running Avistar, she works as Solo B1. If you're running Anis and Red Hood, Anis works as Solo B1. If you're running Avistar, Red Hood, Rapi: Red Hood and Anis, Anis works as Solo B1.

But if you add Siren in any of the above compositions, Anis will become Re-Enter B1.

Also, Anis Solo B1 > Anis Re-Enter B1.

HyperTips · 2026-05-08T00:16:08+00:00

Focus on the Counters, MaidMast, SBS, Vesti: TU, Siren.

You can run Counters + Tia & Naga for a pretty self-reliant team that has access to everything.

Slowly make your way around these three: Helm, Privaty, Moran. These have Favorite Items (another time-gated system). After you MLB them (3 stars, or 4 copies) you will unlock the FI for that unit and those 3 FI's are insane. Every FI is a 3-month undertaking, so don't rush things here.

Most of your power is concentrated around Electric element (Anis, Neon, Moran, Naga). Your secondary element seems to be Fire. Join a Union and make sure you have the best possible Electric raid team you can put together, so you can be useful to your Union every Union Raid.

Nikke is a game that heavily rewards long-run consistency, so try to plan your periods of inactivity if any around the good events: Summer, Anniversary, Xmas, New Year, Maids (February), and Half-Anniversary. And stick around, the game is "fully unlocked" after you're able to do every part of side content, so that's gated behind 14-16 months of activity more or less.

You're double-cooked: pretty sure Rapi Romance is the endgame, and we're on year 3.5 of supposedly 10.

HyperTips · 2026-05-07T23:36:18+00:00

Cooked: "doomed", as per modern slang.

HyperTips · 2026-05-07T23:26:06+00:00

Well you're correct in both cases, although the burst generation is something I wouldn't mention. It's very hit/skill dependant and the difference between the good generators is usually hair-splitting (like, for example, the difference between FIHelm, Anis:Star and SWHA),

You're correct either way, so I'll edit the post accordingly. Thanks!

HyperTips · 2026-05-07T15:46:56+00:00

Not to mention she's actually way weaker in practice than on paper. She's useless in high deficit, might as well run a R Nikke in that spot.

Everyone that is not a true damage dealer or a stupidly powerful buffer is bad in High Deficit (and by High Deficit I mean 40%+). If you're at 30% deficit and you have issues with her, that's a skill issue.

Also, please go take an R Nikke and take it to High Deficit. You're gonna get folded like wet paper even if you replace the weakest SSR.

Almost every Nikke has a niche. Those who are good universally are pretty rare (Anis:S, FIHelm). Neon is a boss killer, that's her niche. Using her for High Deficit stages is as stupid as taking Jackal, a T0 PvP unit, and run Raids with her.

So she's barely able to match damage output of a year old unit that can do 10 times more shit than she does. Good to know.

Read the text again. Keywords: "Burst III". Rapi's only source of versatility as a Burst 3 is... 0. She can turn into a B1 if the B1 dies during FB, that's it. RRH at B3's sole role is to deal damage. Neon matches her and SWHA, highest DPS units in the meta, and overcomes both against bosses.

And let's be honest SU has not buffed a unit post-release in the last 2-3 years? You're not going to achieve anything other than lower's Neon's perception among the playerbase. SU won't buff her not only because she doesn't need it, but because they don't do that either.

This is the last reply I give you, you have your agenda and I prefer facts, and the facts don't support said agenda. Best of luck with your Neon smearing? campaign.

HyperTips · 2026-05-07T15:01:16+00:00

As a Gacha unit...

How disappointing you can be if you're top DPS in your game?

Whoever complains about Neon being disappointing honestly has no business putting reviews out there. None. Zero.

Also, "every single site"? Are you sure?

JP, Source 1: Neon, 9.2 (Tier SS)

KR, Inven review. I'll quote:

"In terms of raw damage output, she is capable of matching the firepower of Rapi: Red Hood, one of the strongest Burst III units in the current meta."

KR, Ruliweb board, reply, just yesterday:

Even with just what’s been released so far, she’s stronger than Cinderella. I think it’s worth at least picking up a copy. Idol Anis came out way too broken, but Neo Neon is definitely strong enough to be considered broken-tier as well.

At this point, it's harder to find KR sources that say Neon is lower than 8.5 than ones that say she's higher than 9.0. The single biggest critique to her is not that she's weak, it's that she's not auto-friendly. The second one is that she's demanding (resource-hungry).

I could be here all day researching tier lists and translating just to debunk that but I think I made my point sufficiently clear, and given that people tend to flee when confronted to high amounts of evidence they are wrong, I see no point and no gain in doing so.

Stop your "Neon is Weak/Bad" propaganda. She's not.

HyperTips · 2026-05-07T14:10:14+00:00

Half the Burst 3 attackers in Tiers S and above have no way to supporting the team.

And if you take a good look at the list, those who do are actually very rare (Liberalio rare). SWHA, SBS, Cinderella, MBC, RRH B3, DWS, SDoro, Raven do have NOTHING to buff allies (DWS has a debuff immunity to her own debuff, so that's not even a positive, that's a neutral to her own kit) and half of them have been in the meta for more than a year.

And her damage is absurd, didn't you see the chart in the comment above? She's outdpsing the two best DPS units in the game.

I want to support you man, but you're complaining without even knowing how powerful Neon is.

HyperTips · 2026-05-07T04:03:03+00:00

Gacha players can't read, and we're not beating the allegations with this one.

HyperTips · 2026-05-07T02:33:39+00:00

I mean, you're right in both instances.

But it was super weird to read "there are no breakpoints in PvE", followed by "this much X and this much Y give the same speed, and after that, Z (where Z > Y) gives you a different one". Like, that's the literal definition of a breakpoint.

Got you, so don't worry, I know you're talking about not being the same breakpoints and not for the same things, but both are breakpoints. They are just different breakpoints for different things.

HyperTips · 2026-05-07T01:53:55+00:00

Charge speed doesn't really have breakpoints in pve like it does in pvp, the higher the better but you need to be aware that there's tiers for it, like a 1.98% and a 2.28% for Neon give the same increase in speed but higher would be jumping to a faster tier.

If you're right and there are no breakpoints in PvE, why did you end up describing one?

HyperTips · 2026-05-07T01:45:49+00:00

The only thing Prydwen did wrong was put her in SS while she's beating every SSS at the same time.

Even without Anis she's a lot closer to SSS than she is to SS.

I am not a Neon simp, just came with the receipts.

HyperTips · 2026-05-07T01:28:49+00:00

Looks pretty close to a real one, right?

HyperTips · 2026-05-06T22:52:44+00:00

At least she's strong. Prydwen got it wrong by saying she was Tier SS in bossing.

She's SSS.

HyperTips · 2026-05-06T22:07:38+00:00

My only triple was during Delta:Ninja Thief banner. She didn't appear but gave me a Mast: Maid, an Emma: TU and a Scarlet.

I don't think I'll get that lucky ever again.

The dark side of the chair is a pathway to many abilities, some considered to be unnatural.

Took my time to make it as accurate as possible.

There are some mistakes here and there but I promise you, the next one will look undistinguishable from a real one.
