K IS ANOTHER ELECTRIC DPS? PULL OR SKIP? | NIKKE Goddess of Victory

Summary

In this video, Guitar Rock discusses the arrival of character 'K' in *Nikki: Goddess of Victory* and her abilities. While K is a burst-type electric attacker with interesting features like critical hit stacking and reduced max ammo capacity, the character faces significant synergy issues with other characters, particularly in team compositions. Her abilities don't stack well with others, and her damage output is overshadowed by characters like Privy and Cinderella. The reviewer advises players to skip pulling for K and wait for her inclusion in the standard banner, offering a cautious recommendation due to her limited utility in current team strategies.

Takeaways

• 😀 K is a new character in the game, available in the standard banner, but with a possible upcoming Stella Blade collaboration in mind.
• 😀 The latest patch includes some cool costumes, with a significant mention of the Noir skin being available for free after 7 days of login.
• 😀 There is discussion about the pricing of skins, with some players surprised that the Noir skin is free and the blonde skin being part of the Battle Pass.
• 😀 K is an attacker with an electric attribute, but the reviewer expresses fatigue with the overuse of electric characters in the game.
• 😀 K's passive skill can increase her critical rate by up to 75%, but critical hit is considered less effective compared to attack percentage.
• 😀 K’s submachine gun type can work well with faster firing rates, but the reduced ammo capacity may make her less ideal compared to other characters.
• 😀 K’s burst skill reduces attack speed by 90% but increases attack damage, making her a better character for burst phases rather than off-burst.
• 😀 K shares a similar ammo reduction ability with Perty, but they cannot stack, making K’s synergy with Perty ineffective.
• 😀 The review tests K’s damage output in comparison to Perty, and it concludes that Perty performs better in most cases due to her ability to increase attack and reload speed.
• 😀 K’s ammo reduction mechanic makes her a niche character, and the reviewer mentions that she can work well with characters like Sinsu Anis and Dorothy who benefit from the Last Bullet mechanic.
• 😀 K faces synergy issues with characters that increase max ammo, like Drake, as their effects counter each other, making it hard to fit her into shotgun teams.
• 😀 The reviewer advises players to skip pulling for K at this time, suggesting they wait for her to be added to the standard banner and use the wish list system to obtain her.

Q & A

What character is being discussed in the video?

The character being discussed is 'K', a new attacker introduced in the game Nikki Goddess of Victory. She is a burst tree and an electric character.

What is K's synergy or main ability?

K's main synergy is related to critical hit rate and max ammo capacity. She has a passive skill that increases her critical rate by 0.75% up to 100 times, allowing her to achieve up to 75% critical rate. She also has a burst skill that reduces max ammo capacity by 51%, increasing her attack damage by 10%.

What is the issue with K's max ammo capacity reduction?

The reduction in max ammo capacity by 51% doesn't seem to work well with most characters, as it forces more frequent reloads, which generally lowers overall damage output. This mechanic is only beneficial when paired with specific characters like Dorothy or Sinsu Anis, who benefit from the 'Last Bullet' mechanic.

Why is K considered a niche character?

K is considered niche because her abilities don't fit well with many characters in the game. Her max ammo capacity reduction conflicts with other characters who benefit from more ammo, and she struggles to synergize effectively in teams.

How does K compare to Perty, another similar character?

K does not stack well with Perty, who also reduces max ammo capacity. The two abilities can't be combined, which reduces K's overall effectiveness. Additionally, Perty outperforms K in most situations due to her ability to increase attack and reload speed.

What other characters are better suited to the 'Last Bullet' mechanic?

Characters like Dorothy and Sinsu Anis work better with the 'Last Bullet' mechanic, which benefits from reduced max ammo capacity. These characters perform better when they have fewer bullets to reload, making them a better fit than K in certain team compositions.

Why doesn't K synergize well with other characters like Scarlet?

K and Scarlet have poor synergy because Scarlet requires a larger ammo capacity to avoid frequent reloads. Since K reduces max ammo, it forces Scarlet to reload too often, negatively affecting her performance and damage output.

What are the challenges with pairing K in an electric team?

K faces difficulties in electric teams due to her lack of synergy with other electric characters. For instance, characters like Cinderella and Sinsu Anis, who work well in electric teams, do not benefit from K's abilities, making her a poor fit in such teams.

What are some potential teams where K might be useful?

K could be used in niche setups, such as with Mihara, bonding chain, or in an electric-specific team. However, she doesn’t seem to have a place in meta teams due to her limited synergy with other characters and the drawbacks of her abilities.

Should players pull for K or wait for her to be added to the standard banner?

It is recommended that players wait for K to be added to the standard banner, as she doesn't seem to offer enough synergy or performance to justify pulling for her immediately. Players should consider using the wish list system later on if they are still interested.
