SHIFT UP has announced another brilliant project for Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. They recently revealed that the game would have another collaboration with the Nier: Automata series, Nikke x Nier Automata. And today, we will discuss one of the new Nikke, 2B’s in-depth guide, focusing on her skills and team synergies. Let’s begin.
After several hours of maintenance, the NIKKE x Nier: Automata collaboration update commenced on September 1, 2023. Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is available on Windows, Android, and iOS.

2B Combat Overview
Let’s look at 2B’s Nikke Skills to start the guide. As an offensive Defender Nikke, she focuses on her survivability while dishing out damage based on her Max HP. Let’s start with her Skill 1, Survival, which enables 2B to continuously increase her Max HP whenever she uses her Burst Skill. This Skill’s effects can trigger repeatedly, allowing 2B to stack quite a substantial amount of health points throughout a battle.
Meanwhile, her Skill 2, Cluster Bomb, complements 2B’s Skill 1 by increasing her ATK from a portion of her Max HP, which can go quite high when Skill 1’s trigger times reach the maximum amount. Moreover, for every 300 bullets 2B fires, she will deal damage to all enemies (167.45% of 2B’s Final ATK).
Lastly, her Burst Skill, Series of Attacks, is 2B’s pure damage source, as she deals massive damages to all enemies as Distributed Damage. Not only that, 2B will also target an enemy with the highest Max HP and deal up to 792% of her final ATK as additional damage.
Overall, 2B has incredible attacking potential, despite being a Defender Nikke, though the downside is that she doesn’t provide benefits for other teammates such as Shielding ability or Damage Transfer ability, something you might want to consider before fielding her as one of your Burst 3 Nikkes.
To summarize, we have provided a table that highlights 2B’s strengths and weaknesses below:
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| Great damage potential as the battle goes on | Needs specific Nikkes that can boost her Maximum HP |
| 2B only requires as many HP as she can, so she does not collide with other DPS’ support units | Weaker in Normal Stages |
| Burst Skill’s potency increases when fighting a singular entity/Bosses | Her defensive capabilities are self-centered |
| Skill 2 can act as a screen wiper (deleting many enemies’ projectiles all at once) | Very expensive (Needs major investments for her and her Support Nikkes) |
Skills Priority
Now that you know 2B’s Skills, it’s time to move on to her Skills Priority. As she is an offensive Defender Nikke, here is the hierarchy of what you should upgrade first (in descending order):
- Survival: 2B’s Skill 1 is most definitely the best part of her kit since it allows her to continuously increase her Max HP the longer the battle goes on since she must use her Burst Skill multiple times before having the maximum amount of health possible, granting her Skill 2 bonus damage by a substantial amount.
- Cluster Bomb: The next Skill to prioritize is her Skill 2, Cluster Bomb. This Skill is the direct enhancement for 2B after her Skill 1. The ATK bonus’s potential can greatly increase if you can maximize 2B’s Burst Skill usage.
- Series of Attacks: Lastly, Burst Skill has the lowest priority among the three due to its simple effects, which are dealing damage to enemies and a particular enemy with the highest HP.
2B’s Skills.
Best Equipment Substats
Since 2B is a Defender-Class Nikke, she can only use the corresponding equipment designated for that Class. It is not necessary to put your Manufacturer’s Equipment on her as she’s not that demanding in terms of stats. Even Level 0 equipment is enough to make her a potent character on your team.
However, if you do have excess equipment and wish to place them on 2B, I recommend you to look out for Increase Critical Damage, Increase Critical Rate, and Increase Element Damage Dealt sub-stats if you wish to upgrade her equipment to Overload Tier to add some firepower to her kit.
2B’s Potential Team Composition
As for her potential teammates, 2B is a very versatile Nikke that can fit into many team lineups, and her downside is practically non-existent, meaning you can always get something out of her wherever you decide to use 2B.
Her potential teammates are Noise, Mast, Flex Burst 3, and Quency.
Thanks to her nature as a Burst 3 Nikke with a 40-second Burst Skill cooldown, she has a better time pairing with other Burst 3 Nikkes such as Scarlet, Modernia, or Alice.
Noise is super important to have here since her Burst Skill can increase all allies’ Max HP, something that 2B will benefit greatly. Meanwhile, the other units in this team composition help 2B to truly shine as a defender-attacker hybrid Burst 3 Nikke. Mast can increase 2B’s Max HP, and Quency heals the team, although not as potent as Rapunzel or Blanc. Lastly, you may use Liter to help the Burst rotation stay in motion.

2B’s Overall Power Rank
Now that we’ve gone through 2B’s Skills and her Team potential, it’s time to talk about her usability in every content within the game. In Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, there are many challenges that players must face, such as Interception, Arena, and Tribe Towers. As stated before, 2B is a versatile Defender Nikke but lacks defensive powers she can provide for her teammates.
And so, to close off this 2B Nikke guide, we will provide a table that includes her usability against all game contents, including Interception and PvP Arena, to provide insight about what types of content she’s strong in and which are the ones you should avoid using her.
| Type of Content |
Usability Rank (E – SS) |
Explanations |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign Stages (Early) | SS | If you’re still in Early Campaign Stages (Chapters 1 – 16), then she’s one of the best DPS behind Scarlet and Alice to use here as 2B can do two roles at the same time, allowing you to have more wiggling room for team compositions. |
| Campaign Stages (Late) | S | 2B’s usability falters a bit during Late Campaign Stages (Chapter 17+), though she can still remain a solid option for your Burst 3 Nikke slot since her Skill 2 can wipe many projectiles at once, something that’s always useful during Campaign. |
| PvP Arena | S | Although not as meta-defining as Scarlet, 2B’s kits are enough to put her as one of the top DPS units in the game currently, making her a perfect fit for your team lineup both in Rookie Arena and Special Arena. |
| Interception | SS | As stated before, 2B’s strength lies in longer battles, and usually, fighting Interception Bosses will give her plenty of time to maximize her output. Moreover, her Burst Skill’s effect potency massively increases in Interception since there is only one entity for each stage. |
And that’s the character guide for 2B for Goddess of Victory: NIKKE.
