Call of Dragons Nika Guide

Nika

Talents: CoD Heroes Infantry Peacekeeping Skills

Nika is a Call of Dragons infantry commander focused on damage, particularly in counterattack and skill damage. Her rage skill is effective in reducing the health of enemy legions, setting them up for attacks. After awakening, she becomes more adept at defeating legions at critical health. Her second skill's bonus only applies to Darklings, so she's more suitable for mid- to high-level spenders who can invest significantly to upgrade her skills into the third and fourth slots.

Nika Hero Pairings

  • Liliya
    Nika
    31 Infantry / 16 Skills
    Madeline

    Offensive, Multi-Target, Counterattack

    Regarded as the premier infantry pairing in Call of Dragons, they offer numerous offensive stat boosts for infantry, rendering them adept at retaliatory counterattacks. Moreover, they can invest in talents that significantly elevate their march speed, endowing them with remarkable swiftness on the battlefield. Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that this pairing leans toward fragility, owing to Nika’s absence of defensive attributes and Madeline‘s provision of solely health and a 10% damage reduction to her awakened rage skill.

    Mid and High Spenders
  • Liliya
    Bakhar
    31 Skills / 16 Infantry
    Nika

    Offensive, Single Target, Skill Damage

    This infantry pairing boasts the highest infantry skill damage output – thanks to multiple skill damage sources. It delivers relatively high single-target damage (for infantry) and a substantial amount of area-of-effect skill damage through Bakhar‘s awakening skill. Notably, this pairing can be effective even with Nika’s skills configured at 5/1/1/1, and grows in effectiveness when Nika is also Awakened.

Nika Talent Builds

  • Nika+Madeline | PvP, Fighter

    This talent build is optimized for delivering the most amount of counterattack damage possible while maintaining a high march speed to better maneuver on the battlefield.

    Counterattack DMG > Legion ATK DMG > Unit ATK DMG > March Speed

    You assume the role of a moderately durable front-line damage dealer. Your primary responsibility will involve intercepting enemy melee legions, preventing them from accessing your flanks, while simultaneously inflicting substantial counterattack damage to any attackers. When feasible, endeavor to flank ranged legions, closing in on them for optimal melee counterattack damage.

  • Bakhar+Nika | PvP, Fighter

    This talent build caters to players without Madeline who favor a front-line damage role over a tanking position. You can opt for the Infantry build mentioned earlier, concentrating on counterattack damage, or adopt this approach for substantial single-target skill damage and respectable area-of-effect skill damage, facilitated by Bakhar‘s awakening skill.

    Skill Damage > Rage Generation

    This playstyle is tailored for single-target combat and small skirmishes. Your objective is to close in on your designated target, delivering substantial single-target skill damage, while also retaliating with counterattack damage and skill damage against those who engage you. You can opt to defend your flank from Cavalry attacks or go into the enemy back-line and reek havoc.
