GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE — Analyzing TOP 50 Team Compositions for the 'Liberelio Body' Solo Raid on the KR Server
Which Nikkes and team setups did high-ranking players use in this Water-code Solo Raid?
Let's examine five distinct team compositions and analyze the reasons behind their usage.
#. Tove - Arcana: Fortune Mate - Dorothy: Serendipity - Sugar - Soline: Frost Ticket [50 Uses]
A Shotgun composition used by all top 50 rankers on the KR server. The core strategy revolves around focusing dedicated Shotgun support buffs onto Dorothy: Serendipity, an ultra-high-firepower Water-code attacker. Tove provides ATK Speed and ATK, while Arcana supports ATK and attack damage. In particular, since Dorothy fires enhanced pierce rounds by accumulating pellet hits, she pairs exceptionally well with Shotgun-specialized support, including ATK Speed buffs. Arcana also fulfills a sub-DPS/supporter role, buffing allies while contributing direct damage herself.
Although its high versatility allows it to be used in other elemental Raids as well, this composition's value skyrockets under Water Superior Code conditions. Since it utilizes pure Shotgun squad pieces, it achieves a high level of completion without taking up versatile top-tier supporters like Crown or Nayuta, granting greater flexibility when building other teams.
#. Liter - Nayuta - Helm - Ludmilla: Winter Owner - Elegg: Boom and Shock [40 Uses]
A composition that leverages both core hits and Water-code synergy. Ludmilla: Winter Owner delivers additional damage upon core hits alongside a fast rate of fire, with her firepower further amplified by Nayuta's buffs. Since Liberelio Body allows players to attack the core directly in both Phase 1 and Phase 2, the environment is ideal for maximizing the strengths of these two Nikkes.
In terms of raw attacker specs alone, this setup may not be Tier 1 or 2, but many top players adopted it because it produces high damage against Water Superior Code without stealing core components from other primary squads.
#. Miranda - Crown - Snow White: Heavy Arms - Privaty - Little Mermaid [35 Uses]
A composition centered on the synergy between the powerful charge attacks of Tier 1 attacker Snow White: Heavy Arms and Favorite Item Miranda. Snow White: Heavy Arms boasts top-tier firepower among all Nikkes; combined with the Superior Code advantage, top rankers evaluated that competing at the high levels without building this composition was nearly impossible.
This composition also offers the advantage of not requiring high investment in Burst 3 attackers other than Snow White. Its value is exceptionally high because it delivers immense damage while freeing up other primary DPS units for separate squads.
#. Rapi: Red Hood - Takina Inoue - Guilty: Mighty Bunny - Sin: Swift Bunny - Flora [28 Uses]
A Water-code DEF-ignoring composition built around the new Nikkes, Guilty: Mighty Bunny and Sin: Swift Bunny. Solo Raid bosses released during a new Nikke's banner period typically feature mechanics tailored for those units to shine. This boss was likewise designed to be vulnerable to DEF-ignoring attacks, setting the stage for both Nikkes to perform. Supporters were also selected primarily to amplify DEF-ignoring damage.
A notable feature is the utilization of Rapi: Red Hood as a Burst 1 enabler. While Rapi: Red Hood would normally be deployed as a DPS unit in standard settings, top-tier players showcased a unique tactic here. Although this Raid catered specifically to the two DEF-ignoring Nikkes, the overall combined firepower was not remarkably high. As a result, this composition may prove difficult to utilize in Water-code Solo Raids with different gimmicks.
#. Anis: Star - Anchor: Innocent Maid - Mast: Romantic Maid - Phantom - Bready [21 Uses]
A distributed damage composition centered around Phantom and Bready, who are rated as Tier 2 attackers behind Snow White and Dorothy. Since they possess solid baseline specs within the Water code, they were capable of outputting substantial damage.
The composition's synergy is exceptionally high. The DPS units make great use of the distributed damage buffs from the Mast and Anchor duo, while Anchor receives projectile explosion damage buffs from Anis upon meeting DEF requirements. Although players rarely expect high damage from Anchor under normal circumstances, she can deliver sub-DPS-level firepower in this setup. Because the squad generates organic synergy by exchanging buffs, it is expected to see continued use in future Water Superior Code Raids.
