Review & Analysis

Shifty is NIKKE's April Fool's Day character in the Counters squad. The publisher data currently shows Power/HP/ATK/DEF as 0, and all three skill descriptions are joke text (an explainer on the origin of April Fool's Day, a spicy rice-cake recipe, and an unfinished limerick) rather than real combat mechanics — no real skill numbers have been published. So no concrete damage or buff percentages can be stated for her. Treat Shifty as an easter egg rather than a usable Attacker/Supporter for a real team.

The original of April Fool's Day While there are several hypotheses as to the origin of April Fool's Day, the prevailing theory is...

Panic BombSkill 2

Spicy Stir-Fried Rice Cake Recipe. 1. Add 2 cups of water, put in rice cakes, and turn the burner on to max heat to boil the water. 2. When the water starts boiling, add seasoning and stir well. Contnue to boil. 3. When there is not too much broth left in the wok, add scallions, sesame seeds, and any additional seasoning that you like. Viola!

State of EmergencyBurst Skill

I'll write a limerick containing all three words in "April Fools Day" April... was a fool, who... one day... Forget it, I'm no good at this. Maybe I'll give it another shot next day.

Skill Investment Priority

There is no real skill data to compare, so no leveling priority can be recommended yet. If forced to choose, prioritize Burst since it's the only active skill (20s cooldown per publisher data), while Skill 1/2 currently only show joke text.

No real skill-scaling data has been published for Skill 1/Skill 2 (only April Fool's joke text is shown). Leave at default and update once official numbers are published.
