Review
Diesel - one of the most wholesome personalities in the game - has been given an upgrade thanks to this new collectibles system. Back in the old days, she used to be one of the better tanks, and had niche usage against bosses for players with incomplete rosters. Slowly, she was powercreeped out of everywhere she was used in, even from Tribe Tower. But now, she has been given another chance. An upgrade to decide whether or not she is part of this revival series by Shift Up, or does she still lack that special something which other Meta Nikkes possess. Let's take a look together.
If Laplace deals more damage with her Favorite Item version, then Diesel is the same... except instead of improving her own DPS, she improves not only the DPS of her allies, and has also become a better tank!, she has become a better tank and buffer! Since Nikke is a mostly DPS race, tankers like Diesel will have hard time fitting in the Meta Teams sadly. But to be fair, if we consider Crown as the god Defender right now, then Diesel should be the Fake Crown, for some units at least. Diesel's new major buff abilities comes from two things: Firstly, the ability to buff Pierce Damage, which she does so substantially! Secondly, her ability to reload magazines of all allies, from which MGs can greatly benefit from. Hence, piercers like Snow White, Maxwell, Red Hood and Alice are the major benefitters, along with MG units, especially Guillotine, for whom Diesel can tank the world for to allow her to survive at even 1 HP!
Diesel is a good choice to go for when it comes to upgrading Favorite Items. However, we feel like her use is too niche. Her main meta use may be in either Snow White teams as an upgrade of Helm, or as a tanker for units like Guillotine who have special prowess in niche conditions (electric-weak bosses with a core in Guillotine's case). She can also be effectively used to help Guillotine survive in Elysion Tribe Tower against Bosses (only Bosses since in campaign-like stages, Diesel is likely to get one-shot due to her constant taunt without a shield). If any of the following screams useful enough to you, you should definitely aim for Diesel's treasure. Otherwise, it is better to focus Doll upgrade materials on more meta DPS units like Red Hood or Alice, or better favorite items (which is only Laplace for now, or Exia if you aim to strengthen your Electric element roster). If you decide to get her treasure, we recommend stopping at Phase 2.
High buff and taunt uptime.
Good against stages (mostly Boss stages) where chip damage is prevalent.
Gives ▲Pierce Damage, which is usually an undiluted buff.
Can reduce reloading time overall for teammates by refilling magazines.
Almost immortal during burst (she can only die to one-shots).
Must burst to be near immortal.
Won't survive in High Deficit against high damage Raptures.
Buffs are strong but very niche, and B2 competition is kinda fierce right now.
Can't protect team well against AoE Wiping like Scarlet's burst.
MGs are slow in generating burst gen, and feed burst gen in return to opponent Jackal or Scarlet.

Priority
Low
This Overload (OL) Recommendations and Priority guide unravels in detail everything you need about a character in terms of priority, overload targets (effects), and order of acquisition, alongside some notes to explain our thinking process.
For OL targets and order of acquisition, we decided to divide the target effects into several categories.
Overload effects are ordered by importance from Left to Right, which means anything on the left provides more value than the right. Effects that belong to the same group generate too similar an impact to make a difference (and are sometimes interchangeable). Try to follow this order as faithfully as possible for maximum mileage.
Additional tips:
Diesel only requires Max Ammo, the value of which depends on your Treasure's Phase. The amount of ammo will vary from 700 to 490, which is 133% ~ 88% ammo up. If we consider mid-value Ammo lines, with the help of a lvl7 Bastion cube, Diesel's ideal OL gear will need 2-3 Ammo.
Bastion Cube
Bastion Cube
MGs love the bastion cube! If you haven't reached 700+ Ammo, slap Bastion on her. But, depending on your Favorite Item Progression and Ammo lines (700+ Ammo in Phase 1/2), she will never reload so you can slap Vigor cube on her (Max HP up) to make her survive better during taunting.
