Privaty: Unkind Maid Combat Overview
Let’s look at Privaty: Unkind Maid’s Nikke Skills to start the guide. As an Attacker Nikke, Privaty: Unkind Maid has many tools to help her dish out damage against the Raptures. However, her nature as a Shotgunner might hinder her potential and limit her with other Shotgun-based Supporter Nikkes who can provide the necessary buffs for Privaty: Unkind Maid.
Let’s begin with Privaty: Unkind Maid’s Skill 1, Passionate Maid, in which she must rely on her Shotgun’s pellets to hit her enemies. When 30 of these pellets manage to hit the Raptures, she can deal damage to 2 enemies closest to her crosshair, dealing 202.84% of her final ATK stat as additional damage. This mechanic is something new in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, thus making you have to be precise when using Privaty: Unkind Maid to maximize her Skills’ uptime.
Meanwhile, her Skill 2, Loving Maid, also utilizes the Shotgun pellets. The first effect of this Skill activates when you manage to hit 5 pellets in a singular normal attack, granting Privaty: Unkind Maid with bonus Reloading Speed for 2 seconds. As for the second effect, it grants a stackable bonus ATK for 2 seconds and refunds one bullet for her when you successfully land 30 pellets during Full Burst Time.
Lastly, Privaty: Unkind Maid’s Burst Skill, Your Bashful Maid!, is pretty straightforward and dashing, where she can deal damage to all enemies at a whopping 1066.66% of her final ATK stat, as well as giving herself bonus Critical and Attack Damage for 10 seconds.
Overall, for a Shotgun Nikke, Privaty: Unkind Maid jumps into a rich pool where we already have many Nikkes with exceptional abilities in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. However, the Skills she has are more than enough to warrant her a spot in team compositions, especially if you can combine her with Tove and Leona.
Strengths and Weaknesses
As with every Nikkes in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, Privaty: Unkind Maid also has her strengths and weaknesses against different content types within the game, as we have curated in the next part of this guide:
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| Privaty: Unkind Maid is exceptional when you use her in Stages that require close-quarter combat, such as against Grave Digger | Privaty: Unkind Maid requires you to hit Shotgun pellets as fast as you can, and as accurately as possible, meaning that using her with the Auto feature is not as optimal as manual control |
| Privaty: Unkind Maid’s Skills means that she can sustain her damage independently, although other Nikkes like Tove and Leona can enhance her greatly | |
| Privaty: Unkind Maid requires a lot of ammo to consistently hit the pellets she needs, so her Gears investment will be heavily skewed towards Increase Max Ammunition, otherwise, she will reload constantly, reducing her overall DPS output | |
| Privaty: Unkind Maid has several options when it comes to team compositions, as Shotgun Nikkes in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE are abundant and can mix well with other weapon-wielders, such as Modernia (Machine Gun) or Red Hood (Sniper Rifle) |
Skills Priority
Now that you know Privaty: Unkind Maid’s Skills, it’s time to move on to her Skills Priority. As she is an Attacker Nikke, here is the hierarchy of what you should upgrade first (in descending order):
- Your Bashful Maid!: Privaty: Unkind Maid’s main source of her DPS output. This Skill grants her bonus Critical and Attack Damage, not to mention the damage burst that targets all enemies on the field. Prioritize maximizing Privaty: Unkind Maid’s Burst Skill before moving on to other Skills.
- Loving Maid: The next Skill to prioritize is her Skill 2, Loving Maid. Although in terms of usefulness this Skill ties with Privaty: Unkind Maid’s Skill 1, her Skill 2 takes the spot as the second priority thanks to its bonus Reloading Speed and ATK stat which is stackable, something that gives this Skill the edge over Passionate Maid.
- Passionate Maid: Skill 1 has the lowest priority among the three simply because it is not that impactful when you look at Privaty: Unkind Maid’s Burst Skill and Skill 2. Not to mention the damage dealt when you do reach the 30 pellets mark is negligible, as she only damages two enemies nearest with her crosshair. The best stopgap for this Skill is to level it up until level 5~7.

Best Equipment Substats
Privaty: Unkind Maid is an Attacker-Class Nikke, so she can only use the corresponding equipment designated for that Class. With her nature as an Attacker Nikke, Privaty: Unkind Maid would enjoy every Overload Gear you can provide her, so if you have several spare Manufacturer Gears, then I recommend you to equip them for Privaty: Unkind Maid.
As for the recommended sub-stats, I recommend you to look out for Increase Max Ammunition, Increase ATK, and Increase Hit Rate sub-stats for optimal pellets’ hits and damage output for Privaty: Unkind Maid.
Privaty: Unkind Maid’s Potential Team Composition
As for her potential teammates, Privaty: Unkind Maid might seem a little restrictive, however, she’s relatively flexible when it comes to her best team, although it is true that you need other Shotgun Supporter Nikkes to enable her potential. This is why, for this guide, we will list down one team composition that suits Privaty: Unkind Maid the best.
Best Maid Team
For this team, we recommend using Tove, Leona, Drake, Flex Burst 3, and Privaty: Unkind Maid.
This team is the absolute best team you can field with Privaty: Unkind Maid. As mentioned before, Tove and Leona help enable Privaty: Unkind Maid’s absolute best potential in terms of DPS output. Tove’s Attack Speed and ATK buff for Shotgun-wielders mean that Privaty’s damage-dealing capacity increases by a margin thanks to these two buffs.
Meanwhile, Leona’s offensive buffs are what’s crucial for this team, and for Privaty: Unkind Maid. First, her pellet-based buff translates well into Privaty: Unkind Maid’s overall abilities. Secondly, Leona can improve all of her Shotgun-wielding allies, while also increasing their Critical Rate and Critical Damage output, things that complement Privaty: Unkind Maid perfectly. These two Nikkes should always be present in your team if you wish to field Privaty: Unkind Maid on any content within Goddess of Victory: NIKKE.
As for Drake and another Burst 3 Nikke, they can provide more DPS output to help the team, as Drake can further improve all Shotgunners’ Hit Rate. In addition to those Nikkes, having someone like Noir can help this team by enhancing their damage and restoring their ammunition.

Privaty: Unkind Maid’s Overall Power Rank
Now that we’ve gone through Privaty: Unkind Maid’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, Privaty: Unkind Maid is the latest Shotgun-wielding DPS Nikke who can mesh well with many Nikkes, though her best team composition unfortunately is restricted to the Shotgun team.
And so, to close off this Privaty: Unkind Maid Nikke guide, we will provide a table that includes her usability against all game contents, including Interception and PvP Arena, to provide insight into what types of content she’s strong in and which are the ones you should avoid using her.
Power Rank Table
| Type of Content |
Usability Rank (E – SS) |
Explanations |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign Stages (Early) | S | If you’re still in the Early Campaign Stages (Chapters 1 – 16), Privaty: Unkind Maid can shred most Stages at ease, except for the Campaign Stages that require Sniper Rifles to clear them. |
| Campaign Stages (Late) | A | Starting in Campaign Stages Chapter 17+, this is the part where you need to start looking for Tove and Leona if you still don’t have them, as Privaty: Unkind Maid will need them to even try Campaign Stages at this level, otherwise, she can’t do much against the hard-hitting Raptures that are prevalent after Chapter 17. |
| PvP Arena | A | PvP Arena is a game content where Privaty: Unkind Maid has a niche role of being in a Shotgun-exclusive team, though if you can properly build the team with Privaty: Unkind Maid as its star, then you have a fighting chance if you place this team as your secondary team. |
| Interception | A | Interception is another content where you find Privaty: Unkind Maid to be a reliable DPS Nikke. Pit her against the likes of Grave Digger, for example, and you’d have an easy time fighting against it. |
| Tribe Tower | SS | Elysion Tower is arguably the hardest among the three Towers (Elysion, Missilis, and Tetra), as this faction rarely has a new DPS Nikke, or even any Nikke for that matter. Hence, the arrival of Privaty: Unkind Maid allows you to finally push through those pesky Floors that you might stuck at, and climb even further with the help of other Elysion Nikkes. |
Should You Pull for Privaty: Unkind Maid?
It is undeniable that the landscape of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is ever-expanding, with many new Nikkes coming out every few weeks. The latest ones were Scarlet: Black Shadow, Moran, and now we have the ever-blushing Privaty to grace the game. However, when it comes to overall utility, Privaty: Unkind Maid is beaten by the resident meta units like Red Hood, Alice, Scarlet, and Modernia. So, it does beg the question: Is she worth it? Should you pull for her, or wait out for other Nikkes after her?
To answer the question, no, Privaty: Unkind Maid is not a must-pull Nikke, however, her presence is a great help for you to push the Elysion Tribe Tower. While she is indeed quite restrictive, as long as you can pair her with the correct Supports (notably Tove and Leona), and have two other DPS Nikkes to help her out, then you will have a blasting time while using Privaty: Unkind Maid in your team. Keep in mind that the upcoming Solo Raid will favor her, so if you’re looking to enter the highest rankings for that, then pulling her might be in your best interest.
Therefore, we place Privaty: Unkind Maid as an A-Tier Nikke as our final verdict.
