If you haven’t checked our previous guide about Meta Team, make sure to drop a view
This post is written under the assumption you have a proper knowledge about team building, because Tribe Tower forces you to use Nikke's from that manufacturer only. And read our Investment Guide as your books are precious!
Missilis can be considered “Normal Mode” because although their DPS are outdated, their supporters are very strong, and they have Goathara too. Thanks to those supporters, the DPS can distribute pretty meaningful damage even with low investment.
The current MVP of Missilis Tower, featuring 2 heavy drillers Laplace and Maxwell. This team excels in killing single targets like Boss, Dangerous Elite units and can do pretty well against mobs too thanks to Laplace splash damage + Drill burst (And she’s even stronger now due to Favorite system). Their DPS (mostly Maxwell if you have Laplace Treasure version) can be replaced somewhat with:
Replacements
Ein: Very strong electric DPS with great AoE wiping. In fact, you will want to replace either Laplace or Maxwell, depending on the situation, with Ein.
Mihara: Bonding Chain: Strongest single target DPS in Missilis Bossing. She’s the way to go against every boss stage. But besides the boss stage, you may not want to use her at all unless you are fighting Elemental Shield Bomber. (Fire weak, of course).
Very friendly stage, it welcomes you with 11 instant kill Raptures…
Drake: Good Replacement for when you do not have Laplace or Maxwell. Can also be used for PvP, if you are in a tight spot for Synchro Device slots and want flexible units. Her treasure version is very decent but won’t make it here because it supports Shotgun team more.
Quency: Escape Queen: The goat of water weak stages. If Ein helps you in neutral and electric, then against water weak stages, you may want to swap to Quency for a smoother experience.
Although Tetra supporters are not as busted as Missilis, Mustang has his trump card with Bunnies Goddess.
Alice is the real MVP here. Insane single target DPS with pierce allows her to clean a lot of mobs in very short time, even elite/boss too. And Xlud will provide a lot of DPS on her own while also increasing Alice damage. Note that Rouge must be in P2 or P4, because of her skill.
Replacements
Milk: Blooming Bunny: Milk the goat. She’s better Alice, stronger AoE cleaning mobs too, in exchange for a weird ass gameplay. Check her review for better understanding.
Soda: Twinkling Bunny: Easily the best AoE wiper for Tetra tower. You may need to swap Xludmilla for B.Soda on some stages, or when you don’t have her due to being Seasonal Limited.
Anis: Sparkling Summer: You can replace Noir with Anis: Sparkling Summer if you have Rouge. Blanc only needs 1 member of 777 squad, be it Noir or Rouge. And S.Anis deals a lot of damage on her own.
Example of an evil stage, this player had to cope with Ludmilla!
Noise: Very strong “healer” and “taunter” in Nikke. Sometimes when Blanc alone is not enough, you may want to rely on Noise to tank those rough damage. She can be paired with Sakura if you lack Volume.
Rebuilt Cucumber burns very hard
Mica: Snow Buddy/Cocoa/Ade: These girls are cleansers, and you can use whoever you have against VERY SITUATIONAL stages, for example, Sunbather, or Rebuilt Cucumber above. Mica and Cocoa can replace Volume (you will run 0 CDR team but keep good DPS), or Ade if you sacrifice your DPS for more CDR (single DPS Alice with Noir as support).
Mary: Bay Goddess: She serves the same as Noise without taunt, but you don’t need to burst her to heal. Used on heavy heal required stages, but mind you, seasonal limited Nikke too!
Novel: Novel is a good option to use against Bosses when you lack bunnies.
Volume: When you don’t have Rouge, Volume is okay.
Anis: Our trusty, always adorable and funny Anis will always be there to fill in the spot for B2 if you lack other B2s.
Funnily enough, by the time this guide is updated (Sep 28, 2025), Elysion is considered the easiest and strongest tower. They are so strong to a point you run no Electric Nikke against Mirror Container, accept the damage loss during Elemental shield, tank the fail QTEs, and still be able to kill it. The goat.
This is the most commonly used team in Elysion tower. It has nice AoE + huge DPS from Rapi, decent heal with Helm Treasure and very strong heal - tank for team with Kinda HP buff from Anchor. A very brain dead team, should put on auto and forget.
Replacements
Vesti: Tactical Upgrade: God of war has descended upon us in the appearance of a Loli with the strength of 1000 men. Vesti hits so hard and so big nothing survives her Rockets, beside the boss, which Rapi will come in handy. You will see Vesti in the lowest clear of campaign and normal towers too. The goat.
Maiden: Ice Rose: Maiden can replace Helm. Her single target nuke can take down important target really quick, with the help of Guillotine and Phantom. Seasonal limited btw.
Diesel: Normal Diesel is not worth mentioning and only serves as B2 filler at max. But due to the new Treasure/Favorite system, she’s actually very strong as B2 in Elysion tower now, considering their main DPS is a 1 HP Glass Canon MG. We have a dedicated guide for Diesel Treasure version on her Profile, please read for more information. Also by using Diesel, you can put Vesti back for better burst gen, because your Guillotine will reload even less now.
Poli/Mast/Helm: Aquamarine(Seasonal Limited): These characters can be used as a replacement for Marciana. If you have Helm: Aqua Marine, you should try using her over Marciana for stronger mob cleaning capability. As for the other 2, they are not as comfortable as our cute teacher, but it’s better than nothing. Remember to use another B2 instead of Vesti. if you are using Poli over Marciana. (Some high level stages don’t require burst much, so you can use Poli as solo B2, especially when they need you to rush the boss as fast as you can before they wipe you).
Miranda: D:Killer Wife is the backbone of the Elysion team, but you can run Miranda too if your wife somehow refuses going home. Her treasure version is very strong but for other characters, sadly it won’t help much on Elysion’s tower.
Pilgrim is Easy Mode tower, that’s a fact. But there’s another sad fact: They rarely come home, so this tower is actually the hardest tower early on because you have to push sometimes with just 1 Nikke.
This is the most familiar team in Pilgrim Tower, with high single target damage, high wipe power, decent CDR. Note that you may run Rapi as B1 here to unlock another slot for B3 DPS, because Rapi B1 still deals decent damage already.
There are a few replacements for Red Hood, Modernia and Rapi: Red Hood here:
Scarlet: Black Shadow: Strong wiping and strong single target damage too. In fact, without pierce, you may want to run SBS instead of Red Hood against the boss.
Scarlet: She has a good wipe, decent DPS on her own. On some stages, you are forced to use Scarlet instead of SBS for sure.
Cinderella: She’s extremely strong on bossing, but may help a bit in mob stages too. Just pray that her burst hits the target you want, because it’s random.
Snow White: Snow White will be used when you want to cheese some stages (just snipe the boss before the stage kills all your Nikke).
Rapunzel: Some stages force you to bring a healer, for example, Bronchus will punish your team harshly if you don’t have any healer.
Harran: Great early character, but don’t over invest in her. Stay at max 5/5/5. She will be replaced the moment you have 3 great DPS mentioned above. Crown can also be replaced if you don’t have her, of course:
Grave: A little bit weaker than Crown. Still a very strong B2, especially in Pilgrim tower where you don’t have much choice.
Noah: Noah has everything: Taunt, Defense Up, even invulnerable temporarily… in exchange for a 40s CD! And being a brat! Still, you can use her normally with Red Hood as another B2 if you can end stage under 3 rotations (Noah => Red Hood => Noah)
Nihilister: You must be desperate to rely on a liberation character as B2. But don’t worry, we all did before Crown!
On certain stages, you can (or you must) finish the stage under 2 ~ 3 Burst rotations. This is the best team you can think of:
You start the fight with Red Hood => Crown => Modernia. Then based on the situation, you hold the fight so Crown Burst is ready again, or you go with Rapunzel => Red Hood => Rapi: Red Hood immediately. Then finish the stage by either holding burst till Rapi burst is ready again, or go with Red Hood => Crown => Modernia immediately, killing the mobs and then focusing the boss as much as possible in the remaining time. You may have to use this setup on Pilgrim Tower 245F.
