Goddess of Victory: Nikke is currently running simultaneous pick-up events for four limited summer Nikkes: 'Cinderella: Crystal Wave' (Summer Cinderella), 'Dorothy: Serendipity' (Summer Dorothy), 'Marciana: Marine Study' (Summer Marciana), and 'Elegg: Boom & Shock' (Summer Elegg). Summer Cinderella and Summer Marciana are new, while Summer Dorothy and Summer Elegg are returning characters.

Among these four, Summer Cinderella is our top recommendation. She is a damage dealer with such overwhelming stats that she has shaken up the entire Tier list. She is also a highly valuable Iron code unit, and her ability to switch between attack modes—allowing her to toggle between large-part and core-hitting modes—gives her excellent versatility.

Given her high base stats, she is expected to be a staple not only in Iron-weakness raids but in most raids overall. As she can be utilized in various content where raw firepower is needed, she is currently the highest priority pick-up.

While shotgun decks can be situational, their high damage output makes them a frequent choice in Solo Raids regardless of code. Since Solo Raids require five teams, and it is difficult to perfectly build five teams based solely on weakness codes with current damage dealer pools, shotgun decks are frequently deployed.

Summer Dorothy is the final piece that completes this shotgun deck. Although she is a shotgun damage dealer, she possesses a penetration effect, which covers the weaknesses of shotgun decks and further boosts their firepower. She is essentially indispensable for running a shotgun deck.

She isn't just limited to shotgun decks, either. Even outside of specialized shotgun teams, her stats allow her to output top-tier damage in any content where Water-weakness code is applicable. For players aiming to tackle high-difficulty content like Solo Raids, she is arguably just as important as our top-priority pick, Summer Cinderella.

The biggest advantage of Summer Marciana is also her 'Code.' She is a Burst III damage dealer with the Iron Code, a category often criticized for its lack of viable damage dealers. While the recent addition of Summer Helm provided some relief, the absolute number of damage dealers remains insufficient. Most of the existing ones are collaboration-limited Nikkes, and characters like Bunny Girl Milk are difficult to use effectively.

Many Commanders are thirsty for powerful Iron damage dealers, making Summer Marciana valuable for her code alone. Furthermore, her stats are exceptionally high, allowing her to output more damage than 'Raven,' who was previously considered a Tier 1-2 Iron unit. She also possesses some area-of-effect damage dealing capabilities, allowing her to handle multiple enemies.

Summer Elegg is a Burst 3 Water damage dealer. She isn't a main damage dealer meant to carry a team like Summer Cinderella or Summer Dorothy, but she serves as an excellent 'Totem' that enhances the team's overall performance.

Summer Elegg has solid base stats and performs well even in a 'Totem' slot where she doesn't use her Burst. By stacking buffs throughout the battle and using her Burst once or twice per raid, she provides additional firepower. She is truly the perfect fit for a Totem role. Additionally, she provides Attack and weakness code buffs, making her a valuable Supporter as well.

However, it is important to note that these strengths are primarily utilized in Water-weakness Solo Raids and specific content. Her versatility is not as high, so if you are a newer player focusing on stage progression rather than end-game content like Solo Raids, you can safely lower her priority.
