GRAVE BETTER THAN CROWN? DAY 1 TESTING & REVIEW! | NIKKE Goddess of Victory

Summary

In this video, the creator discusses the character Grave from *Nik: Goddess of Victory*, analyzing her role as a Burst 2 character with a focus on Pierce damage. While Grave offers strong DPS and support for specific teams, particularly with Ra Hood, her overall utility is limited compared to the more versatile character Crown. The video explains that Grave's potential is largely dependent on having the right team composition, and players without Crown may find her useful, though she struggles in comparison to more universal support characters. The conclusion suggests that Grave is not a must-pull for most players, especially if they already have Crown.

Q & A

What is Grave's primary role in the team?

Grave is primarily a Burst 2 character, focused on dealing damage. She excels in boosting Pierce damage for certain allies, but her utility is limited to specific team compositions that can fully utilize her abilities.

How does Grave's Skill 1 benefit the team?

Grave's Skill 1 boosts her own HP recovery and decreases reload speed by 50%. Additionally, it boosts her allies' Burst gauge fill speed by 38% and increases their Pierce damage, making it useful for teams with characters that can deal Pierce damage.

Which characters benefit the most from Grave's abilities?

Grave works best with characters that can deal Pierce damage, like Ra Hood and Maxwell. These characters benefit greatly from her Burst and the Pierce damage boost she provides.

What makes Crown a better option than Grave for most players?

Crown is more flexible than Grave, providing a universal damage boost and survivability through shields for the team. This makes her a stronger choice for general team compositions, especially for players who need a versatile Burst 2 character.

Why did Asuka perform worse with Grave compared to Crown?

Asuka's performance with Grave was subpar because her synergy with Grave's Pierce buff didn't work as well as expected. Crown's reload speed boost was more beneficial for Asuka, allowing her to deal more damage in this particular setup.

Is Grave a good choice for new players?

For new players, Grave is not an ideal choice unless you have specific characters like Ra Hood. Crown is generally a better option, as she provides more overall utility and is easier to integrate into various team compositions.

Can Grave work well in high-difficulty content like campaigns or higher-level stages?

Grave may struggle in high-difficulty content due to her lack of survivability compared to Crown. While she provides strong DPS, her need for a dedicated healer on Burst 3 and her narrow synergy with specific characters could cause issues in tougher content.

How does Grave compare to other Burst 2 characters?

Grave competes with other Burst 2 characters like Crown, but she is more specialized. While she can do high DPS, she requires specific team setups to shine, particularly with characters that benefit from Pierce boosts. Crown, on the other hand, offers a more universally applicable support and damage boost.

What is the key disadvantage of using Grave over Crown in a team?

The key disadvantage of using Grave over Crown is her lack of flexibility. Grave excels only in teams with Pierce characters, while Crown boosts all characters' damage and survivability, making her a safer and more reliable pick for most teams.

What should players consider before pulling for Grave?

Players should consider their existing roster and whether they have characters that benefit from Grave's Pierce damage boost. If they already have Crown or a strong Burst 2 character, Grave may not provide enough additional value. Additionally, Grave is more effective if you have Ra Hood in your team.
