If you're looking for a new mobile third-person shooter RPG, then Goddess of Victory: Nikke might just be the game for you. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has been forced underground, this game follows the humanoid girls named Nikke in their quest to defeat the invading Rapture and reclaim the planet. In this guide, we'll take a closer look at one of the Nikke characters - Maiden - and provide some tips on how to build her effectively.
About Maiden
Maiden is a Burst III Shotgun Attacker from the Elysion manufacturer and part of the Extrinsic squad. She's a Nikke who likes to dress to impress and hides a shocking secret behind her mask. Maiden's specialities are taunting enemies and increasing her own ATK. She's equipped with a shotgun that limits her weapon range, but makes up for it with her high damage potential.

Analysis and Review
Maiden's skills allow her to increase her damage potential, especially when she's being attacked. Her S1 increases her ATK when she gets hit, while her S2 taunts all enemies and gives her a massive Critical Damage buff. However, she has no defensive capabilities or self-healing to negate the damage taken. So, she relies on allies to save her during the time she taunts enemies and unleashes hell upon them. Her weakness is her S1's massive 30 seconds cooldown, which means that her sustained damage outside of the 10-second damage window is much lower compared to other Shotgun wielders like Drake or Sugar.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Taunts enemies
- Increases her own ATK
Cons:
- Shotgun limits weapon range
- Must have Skill 1 active to do full Burst damage
- 30-second cooldown timer for taunt and critical damage buff
Conclusion
Maiden is a powerful character in Goddess of Victory: Nikke who excels at dealing damage and taunting enemies. To build her effectively, players should focus on increasing her ATK and maximizing the damage dealt during her S2's taunt window. Additionally, players should be aware of her weaknesses, including her shotgun's limited range and lack of defensive capabilities.
