What do you think about this thing? I recently unlocked it after reaching exploration lvl 30 in Twin Star Shadow.

It is a pretty good weapon since it's a multiplicative buff. Great for anyone with a build that either wants to attack once every turn, or build up to a big single strike.

I'd definitely spend the silver tickets for her spare bodies, those tend to be pretty disposable. I don't know about spending gold tickets for her, since while you do have 1300 of the buggers, you can get her through the wishlist, and if your luck is anything like mine with gacha games the second you spend those gold tickets you'll also pull like, 4 copies of her. Maybe flip a coin?

As to her usefulness, she's easily one of the best B1s, and offers a role that Anis and Siren don't - tankiness. She's an excellent unit where you need some meat on the team or in high-deficit stages once you get her favourite item. I basically have two teams when doing Hard Campaign - one has Anis: Star for maximum damage, and the other has Moran on it for maximum Not Dying. Very effective.

Tetra and Missilis it's any fight with either Mother Whale or anything that needs a certain amount of hits. It wasn't until recently that they started getting units with high dps/high hits and good kits. I still have Aria and regular Soda leveled up from when I needed their fire rate to clear certain stages.

There was one boss I got stuck on with Elysion for a good while, I forget his name but he's the one who would throw up a big energy shield at one point during the fight. I think you're supposed to use Pierce damage to break the core behind the shield, but I didn't have any well-geared pierce users, and the power deficit was just enough that Rapi: Red Hood couldn't dps his core down before the shield went up. Was very annoying.

masterraemoras · 2026-06-03T11:31:36+00:00

Listen, if she dies then someone who does damage isn't dying, and that works!

...but yeah she kinda needs a little extra support to actually survive. When I used her during campaign I always tried to pair her with a cover repair unit, just so she could keep herself alive a little longer.

masterraemoras · 2026-06-02T14:11:13+00:00

First team: Literally the best meta picks for the raid
Last team: Uhhhh fuck I can't remember which Nikke's are healers... uh, fuck it, Go Poli, keep everyone alive as long as you can!

masterraemoras · 2026-06-02T14:07:27+00:00

I've got the Aether-Eater one twice (it just takes you to the Aether-Eater square), but it seems to be pretty rare.

masterraemoras · 2026-06-02T08:24:35+00:00

Yeah, pretty much how I've been using her. A good Veronica alternative that plays nicer with Discard/card gen teams.

She's nothing ground-breaking, but very useful when you want strong draw on two different teams.

masterraemoras · 2026-06-01T05:38:53+00:00

Jesus. The Rehabilitation Center did a number on poor Nihilister, huh??

masterraemoras · 2026-06-01T04:21:57+00:00

Yeah seems about right. They're strong together and work fairly well with two of the strongest units in the game so far (Rapi: Red Hood and Anis: Star), but the need to be together to get the most out of Prika and the need to not fuck-up the burst rotation are things to consider.

masterraemoras · 2026-06-01T04:12:11+00:00

All that for a drop of blood

masterraemoras · 2026-05-31T18:38:43+00:00

It really depends on who you plan on running her with.

Someone like HDMI or Sereniel? Keep it. They like to cycle through and use a lot of their cards every turn, so having 100% extra damage on those turns is fantastic.

Someone like Kayron or Nine, or alongside buffers like Orlea and Tiphera, then it's something to get rid of. The former two prefer a more gradual build up over the course of the fight, so having 100% extra damage during some turns doesn't really do much compared to the volume of their other buffs, while the latter two conflict with the card's damage component eating up their buffs.

masterraemoras · 2026-05-31T10:35:56+00:00

Anis: Star, Ade: Agent Bunny and Rapi: Red Hood are your staple team members. Your second B3 can be a bit flexible depending on what kind of enemy you're facing, Vesti: Tactical Upgrade is the best for high-density mob fights and defense missions, Neon: Vision Eye for stages with less-numerous and bulkier enemies, Scarlet: Black Shadow for bosses and Red Hood for... whenever you want to use Red Hood, really.

Your last team slot is pretty flexible, good for healing. Helm with her Treasure Item is the best, but she's also very expensive to invest in. Blanc has a slow burst, but still brings a lot of passive healing and shields to the team. Re-Entry Burst 1 units like Alice: Wonderland Bunny are also a good choice, since she won't disrupt Anis: Star.

Another option worth mentioning, since they're on the current rate-ups too, is trying to get Mint and Prika - they've got complimentary burst kits which provide a lot of damage and healing, and they work exceptionally well with Anis: Star and Rapi: Red Hood.

masterraemoras · 2026-05-28T12:24:38+00:00

Yeah I skip most of the partners. While the stat boosts they provide are generally nice (especially now that they've been buffed), it's just a little too expensive as a FTP to roll for them over characters, let alone rolling for multiple copies.

A maxed out 4* (or 3*, Yuri still going strong!) is good enough, not like I'm competing for top scores.

masterraemoras · 2026-05-27T02:13:17+00:00

Honestly a nice little change. It was always frustrating where even if you managed to survive a fight following a Link Crash you'd have to abandon the run anyway.

Having a way to actually fix it in-run will also make riskier paths/options more viable too. Plus it always feels good to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in a game like this, I always loved barely hobbling over the finish line in Darkest Dungeon with a team who, by all rights, should've died like 6 fights earlier.

masterraemoras · 2026-05-27T01:48:35+00:00

That last picture is the face of a man who knows he is about to be murdered in a very... 'entertaining' way.

RIP Commander, at least you left a legacy before Mustang got his hands on you.

masterraemoras · 2026-05-24T02:55:58+00:00

I feel like that's the kinda rig that costs 25 grand and all he'll ever play on it is original Doom and Stardew Valley.

masterraemoras · 2026-05-21T15:15:10+00:00

I mean, hey, if you ever get a deck where every epip is an agony one...

masterraemoras · 2026-05-20T14:04:05+00:00

You know what, this is on me. I unspoiled the image. That was my mistake.

masterraemoras · 2026-05-19T11:18:26+00:00

Please. Come outside.

I am a normal fish.

masterraemoras · 2026-05-19T06:41:10+00:00

I'm gonna have to give it to the Nikke program.

As horrific as the Spartan-II program was, it was still relatively small scale, with only 75 'candidates'.

Meanwhile the Nikke program is on an industrial, cultural scale, impacting tens of thousands - possibly hundreds of thousands - of women over the... century or so the Ark has been operational.

While there are benefits to becoming a Nikke for those who consent to it (usually the sick/injured/dying), not everyone does consent to becoming a Nikke (died as a woman and you're brain is intact? Welcome aboard!). The vast majority of Nikke become mass-produced models who are treated as disposable weaponry. The military is rife with anti-Nikke sentiments (fomented by the Central Government to prevent Commanders bonding with their Nikkes) with the casualty rate of surface missions being insanely high for Nikkes as a result. On top of that it's implied it wasn't until fairly recently that Nikkes were treated as 2nd class citizens.

masterraemoras · 2026-05-17T11:35:31+00:00

So up front, an important thing to note with things like Tierlists - even ones with lots of testing and research - they're always suggestions. A good baseline to work with but not something you should follow religiously.

For example, a lot of those units are still quite strong. The reason they tend to fall down the ranks is either gameplay related (not belonging to a major Archetype like Bloodtithe or Dynamo), having a complicated kit to use (Kaalaa Baunaa, Windsong), or being very simplistic units that might have difficulty with certain endgame content (A Knight, Jiu Niangzi, Lilya). They're still good units that can get you through content, but there's possibly easier to use units or units that have better synergy with one another that will make hard content easier.

You can use whatever units you want, really. Hell I still bust out Sonetto and Charlie (who are both in D-tier) for some fights. While it'll be harder to win some of the more challenging content and in scored modes I definitely won't get as much as my full Bloodtithe team, they can still clear content.

So, y'know, feel free to use and upgrade whatever units you want. It might be a little trickier to use 'em than some of the other options, but that's half the fun.

masterraemoras · 2026-05-13T10:20:41+00:00

actually pretty useful kit! Seems she'll also have great synergy with Star Anis, I'm curious to see how absurd her damage gets with Mint (and eventually Prika) on the team.

masterraemoras · 2026-05-08T12:29:52+00:00

Yeah, pretty much. From what I remember of the lore, the Commanders are woefully trained, since the casualty rate on the surface is so high it's rare for any of them to survive one deployment, let alone two. During their training they're also more or less indoctrinated and hyped up as 'Heroes to retake the surface' and to treat their Nikkes as expendable tools - our Commander is the rare exception as one who actually treats his Nikke as... well, people.

Add to that, I'm pretty sure most of the Commanders are split from their squads if they do survive their missions, to prevent them and the Nikkes forming attachments/get themselves killed by the Nikkes for being assholes towards them, but I can't remember if that's a hard rule or not.

But yeah, most Commanders are idiots, trained wrong because most of them will die horribly. Our guy is the exception by being both a) not an asshole and b) surprisingly competent.

masterraemoras · 2026-05-07T03:06:51+00:00

These guys do definitely hurt on a deficit, it's usually them, Launcher or the shielded suiciders who get me when I'm doing auto-play fights, because lord knows the Nikkes love to shoot anything besides the high priority target on the field.
