GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE Yukio Build Guide and Teams

How to build Yukio for bossing and solo raid, which skills and overload lines matter, and which teams make her worth using.

6 min read

Build Yukiko for bossing and solo raid rather than campaign. Invest primarily in her skills and gear for damage and sustain, especially if your account lacks strong fire DPS. Roster depth and content goals should drive whether you pull or build her; new or campaign-focused players are better served waiting for units with broader value.

What Yukiko does and where she belongs

A character overview screen for Yukiko Amagi shows her artwork on the left and a black info panel on the right with the text "B3/Attacker/Fire/MG."

Yukiko is a Burst III attacker with a machine gun and fire code. Her kit focuses on high self buffs for attack and elemental damage, primarily dealing damage with weapon attacks and burst skills. She also provides team healing every 3 seconds, both in normal play and enhanced during Full Burst, which is notable for teams needing sustain without sacrificing offensive units.

Yukiko is most effective in bossing and solo raid scenarios, where healing and single-target damage matter. She is not recommended as a first pull or main damage dealer for campaign or new accounts, as her mobbing and progression utilities are limited compared to other options.

Skills: what to level first

A build guide screen for Yukiko Amagi shows a skills section with bullet points recommending 7/7/7 → 10/10/7 and S2 = S1 > Burst.

steps

  1. Budget skill investment: Aim for 7/7/7 as your initial skill levels if you are resource-constrained or uncertain about your roster fit.
  2. Full investment: Raise skills to the highest levels for maximum performance, focusing your priorities based on team composition.
  3. Skill 1 priority: Level Skill 1 ahead of Skill 2 for general bossing and neutral content, especially if not pairing Yukiko with Makoto.
  4. Skill 2 priority: Raise Skill 2 further for fire-weak content and when Yukiko is paired with Makoto, as her buffs synergize better in this context.

Overload lines and cubes

Yukiko’s gear should reflect her primary usage and the team you plan to run her in. The table below summarizes her overload and cube setup.

Setup Overload Lines Cube Choice Notes
Solo raid meta (maids present) 4 fire elemental, 4 attack Resilience Cube Maid duo covers ammo; use Resilience with reload-speed buffs
Other teams 10 lines; recommend 2 max ammo, rest attack and elemental Bastion Cube Use Bastion if lacking reload-speed buffs; swap 2 attack for ammo if needed
General Crit lines - Filler only, not core to her build

Always use the highest cube for its elemental bonus when possible; choose cube based on whether reload speed buffs are available.

comparison

Solo Raid (maids present)

  • 4 elemental
  • 4 attack
  • Resilience Cube

Other Teams (no reload buffer)

  • 2 max ammo
  • 8 attack/elemental
  • Bastion Cube

Doll investment: SR5 or SR15

A build guide screen for Yukiko Amagi shows sections for Skills, Overload, Cube, and Doll, with the Doll recommendation reading SR5 → SR15.

Doll investment: SR5 or SR15

Choose SR5 if your main goal is solo raid or you don't plan to push high-deficit content. This is a reasonable and affordable investment for most players. Go to SR15 if you intend to use Yukiko in harder deficit bossing or want every edge for fire-weak content—this is only recommended if you're committed to using her heavily.

Best solo raid teams and bossing options

Yukiko is strongest in teams designed for solo raid and anomaly interception, with the following compositions recommended:

Solo Raid and Bossing Teams

  • Optimal solo raid team: Maid Mast, Siren, Makoto, Yukiko, Maid Anchor. Maid duo provides reload speed and crit buffs, Siren covers burst and cooldowns, while Yukiko and Maid Anchor sustain the team.
  • Devilia interception team: Crown, Star Anise, Rappy Red Hood, Yukiko, flex slot (Treasure Flora, Maid Mast, Treasure Privaty). Yukiko’s healing and damage outperform other fire utility picks, protecting the highest-attack unit with Crown’s shield and her own sustain. Choose the team that best matches your available units and content needs.

When to skip Yukiko

A character art screen for Yukiko Amagi appears on the left, and a verdict panel on the right says Campaign/Tower (30-45% Deficit) and Not Recommended.

Also worth knowing

  • Collector’s value: Owning a copy is usually sufficient if you want to save resources or invest later, but she ranks below the upcoming anniversary units in banner priority.
  • Campaign disappointment: Many found Yukiko underwhelming for campaign and new-account progression, reaffirming she is best for bossing content.
  • Fire DPS stopgap: She can still fill the role if your fire roster is thin, but this is more a temporary solution than a recommendation.

FAQ

What skill levels does Yukiko want?

Yukiko’s recommended skill levels are 10/10/7 for full investment and 7/7/7 as a budget option; Skill 1 matters most for neutral content, Skill 2 is more important in fire-weak teams or with Makoto.

What overload lines should Yukiko have?

Yukiko should have four elemental and four attack lines in her ideal setup; outside solo raid, aim for ten lines with two max ammo and the rest attack/elemental. Crit lines are filler.

Which cube is best for Yukiko?

Use Resilience Cube when running reload-speed buffers (maid duo); use Bastion Cube if your team lacks reload-speed options. Always choose the highest cube matching the elemental bonus.

Is SR5 enough for Yukiko or should you go to SR15?

SR5 is sufficient for solo raid and general bossing; upgrade to SR15 only if you want to push her into higher deficit content.

What are Yukiko’s best solo raid team comps?

Her best solo raid team includes Maid Mast, Siren, Makoto, Yukiko, and Maid Anchor. For Devilia anomaly interception, use Crown, Star Anise, Rappy Red Hood, Yukiko, and a flex slot (Treasure Flora, Maid Mast, or Treasure Privaty).

Is Yukiko worth pulling for campaign or for new players?

Yukiko is not recommended for campaign or new players—she lacks mobbing tools and broader account value; pull her only if you need fire bossing support and have the roster depth.
