Profile
Backstory
Like many Catsidhe, Nika chose the path of a professional assassin under "Valo Lana." As an honorable member of Valo Lana, she assassinated quite a few villains, earning herself the nickname "Petal's Shadow" for her distinctive petal-shaped blade.
After the Rift Crisis, Valo Lana fortunately discovered an underground Rift and, despite heavy sacrifices, managed to migrate to Earth through it. However, with assassination being illegal on Earth, Nika quickly found herself without purpose and fell into despair. Introverted and timid, she spent much of her time confined to the house assigned to Valo Lana, with her self-esteem inevitably plummeting.
The news of the Bureau of Rift Management recruiting Vanguards offered her a new sense of purpose. As an expert in assassination, the chance to continue her work meant that she could regain her confidence.

Recomended Stigmatas
Currently, there isn’t a complete optimal set available for Nika, so your best option is to mix and match gear with the best substats you can find.
For now, prioritize equipping the Down Piece from The Wind that Wanders the World and the Left Piece from The Eternal Battle. This combination provides 70% accuracy when fully leveled. You can either complete the 2-piece sets for additional bonuses or go for a rainbow build with mixed pieces, depending on what’s available to you.
For Sub Stats: Accuracy > AP Recovery > Evade > Anything Else.
Recommended Teams
Nika’s best teammate is Marhim, as they complement each other exceptionally well. To complete the team, choose a third character based on your needs. Most of the time, you’ll want a second carry, like Everette, to clean up leftover mobs after Marhim and Nika attack.
And a flex for the 4th slot.
Cats Team
F2p Variations
Cheese Team
For tougher floors with mobs 11 levels higher than your team, focus on stalling while Nika deals consistent damage and Marhim provides support. Additionally, the Moles can be invaluable in these stages, as they can block enemies by burrowing and digging underground, effectively stopping them from advancing toward your team.
