Doll review
Overview
Saki Nikaido is a debuffing SG.
Reducing enemy Damage is a niche way of reducing Armor requirements. Here it comes baked into Saki Nikaido’s kit. At a similar uptime to a HG, Saki Nikaido seems quite decent at a first glance, but there are a couple of significant drawbacks here:
- The motorcycle has travel time, making the effective ICD ~8-9s rather than 6s.
- The motorcycle needs to collide with enemies, and it only hits roughly the middle ~80% of the screen. Enemies at the far edges vertically do not get debuffed.
- The motorcycle knocks enemies slightly away from the center. Over time, this means more enemies will be knocked out of the area she can hit. While this doesn’t matter much for quicker fights, this makes her unusable in Ranking stall comps.
With all this in mind, Saki Nikaido is optional at best for regular content.
All ZLS Dolls share two passive effects when using an all-ZLS echelon:
- Summon the two ZLS members not in the echelon as reinforcements behind the echelon, with stats based on the Leader
- Summon a barrier that reduces damage taken and draws fire while active, with stats based on all the members’ combined stats
The reinforcements are incredibly weak and contribute 1-2% of the total damage at best. As such, your choice of Leader hardly matters.
The barrier can withstand weaker enemies if the fights are quick enough, but is far less durable than Suomi or an actual SG. To make matters worse, it can quickly cause your backline to lose links, as it inflicts 50 points of damage to all echelon members when it breaks. The -80% damage taken also doesn’t prevent Ai Mizuno from losing an entire link when her Skill backfires, removing one of the potential upsides. This is honestly so bad that using a full ZLS Echelon is discouraged. Instead, consider whether each individual Doll adds value to your Echelon and if not, pick something else.
