How to build teams for Nikke's endgame modes, from Solo Raid DPS races to Union Raid rotation and PvP burst comps.
- Solo Raid is a pure single-boss DPS race: build around one core DPS (e.g. Cinderella or Red Hood) stacked with maximum ATK buffers like Crown and Liter.
- Element matching is critical for top raid scores, so keep at least one strong team per element (Fire, Water, Electric, Iron, Wind) invested.
- Union Raid rewards multiple viable teams because you field several squads against the same boss, so depth matters more than a single perfect team.
- The 2026 combined tier list weights roughly 60% Boss / 40% Campaign, while PvP is judged separately because it's an entirely different game mode.
- PvP Arena favors fast, high-burst comps (Scarlet/Noah-style) that delete the enemy before they can retaliate, so burst-generation speed is king.
- Crown + Cinderella is the current top-end PvE core, but you still adapt around your invested roster and the boss's element and mechanics.
- Overload gear, skill investment and Cube/Doll upgrades matter as much as the character list, so gear your core units before chasing new banners.
