NIKKE Tier List

This ranking assumes characters are well-invested (skills leveled, decent gear, a Harmony Cube equipped) and is judged on general PvE Story progression. Placements shift with game mode and team comp — a unit that is weak in Story can still be top tier in bossing or PvP.

• Favorite Item: the unit has a bond item that boosts stats — the ranking assumes it is unlocked.
• Limited: only from limited banners, not in the standard pool.
• Heavy investment: needs high skill levels or dupes to reach its rated power.
• Team-dependent: only strong in specific team comps.
• High manual skill: the score assumes good manual burst timing and aiming.

NIKKE has several modes and a unit can rank very differently across them: Story (PvE stage clearing), Bossing (Solo Raid / Union Raid — sustained single-target damage), and PvP Arena (burst-generation speed and quick kills). Read the tier for the mode you actually play.
