Vesti (Attacker · Water) — Stats & Skills | NIKKE

30-second summary of Vesti

Vesti is a Water Nikke in the Attacker class, manufactured by Elysion. Stats and skill text below come straight from the game's data.

Review & Analysis

Vesti is a Water Attacker with an RL, built around a unique "Survival Instinct" stacking mechanic from Skill 2: casting her Burst repeatedly upgrades her stage, boosting ATK first, then Critical Damage, then Critical Rate. Her Burst "Justifiable Defense" is the main AoE damage source, and its bonus damage scales up sharply with each Survival Instinct stage reached, while also shortening the time to Full Burst for the whole team. Skill 1 "Dreams Do Come True" slightly increases explosion range on a Full Charge hit. She rewards a playstyle of chaining Bursts to climb her stacks quickly.
