Skill Order

Best Troop Types

Use all Infantry units or at least as many as possible as she will buff up HP and attack of all infantry units in her legion through her 3rd skill and some of the talent points shown below will also only affect Infantry Units exclusively. It’s not required but it will help a lot and make your life easier at the end of the day.

Best Hero Pairing for Nika

Madeline is along Nika probably the strongest infantry combo you ran run right now and as Madeline also deals some skill damage Nika’s 4th skill buff is not wasted. You, although, want to consider running Madeline as the primary commander in this unless you have your Nika developed a lot further than your Madeline (See full build here).

Hosk is a universally great hero in Call of Dragons and don’t care much about troops type. You want to run Nika as the primary commander here to be able to use her Infantry Tree. It’s not the tankiest combo to brawl around but it’s super punishing and deals a ton of damage while still being quite versatile. I understand that only a little percentage of players can run this but this is just a slam-dunk pairing so I have it listed here (See full build here).

Bakhar is a great epic pair, but there’s a little bit more to that. You actually want to run hima s the primary commander to ramp up the damage dealt by his units from his active skill and then you can hit them with the big skill damage from Nika (See full build here).

Theia is quite a sneaky pairing and with Nika as the primary commander in this combo you gain the shield from Theia for more sustain on the field and Theia will buff up the solid skill damage that Nika deals even more. You will miss out on the flying unit benefits but that is actually alright in this setup (See full build here).

Garwood is such a durable hero in Call of Dragons and his kit actually targets more toward being so durable that you take down enemies with counterattacks while they basically not get much of his pool down – and with the more offensive approach and skill damage that Nika deals I feel this is a sub-par setup (See full build here).

Eliana works as a basic pairing as you can hide Eliana as the epic commander behind Nika and then gain shielding and make Nika work a bit better on the sturdy side. Again, this is a early-stage pairing and none you want to run too long (See full build here).

Best Artifacts

Let’s now take a look at the numerous artifacts that you can possible use. We have tested many of them and some have amazing synergy and others are more in for the stats but no matter what artifacts you have possibly available, you will find the one that works best. Please also check out the full tier list of all artifacts here to see which ones are worth the invest in general.

Dragon Scale Armor increases Nika’s legion defenseand is an absolute stunning (no phun intended) artifact to run with Nika no matter what. Availability of this artifact is a different discussion, though…. Greymar’s Warhammer increases Nika’s legion defenseand is an absolute stunning (no phun intended) artifact to run with Nika no matter what. Availability of this artifact is a different discussion, though….

Best Builds For Nika

Below you will find the talent tree builds for Nika that make sense when running as the primary commander in any legion in Call of Dragons. Please also refer to the description below each talent tree as I explain a general route on how you should spend your talents there + some additional background for each talent build that I very likely will appreciate.

Going with Nika the way of an Infantry Talent uild, which is my favorite for sure now, you go all-in in the Infantry Tree. Right after you picked the basic talents and unlock the center node. Espcially the march speed is super important to pick up early as infantry is slow and adding march speed will give you so much more flexibility with Nika in the open field. Then also Adrenaline Rush for more attack that goes well with Nika’s kit and then take Cool-Headed to gain some defense when you trigger a rage skill (you don’t want to tunr her as front-row march into a glass cannon).From here All-Conquering for reduced damage taken which works fine and Generalist as it’s just a great value talent that will increase basically everything and, very important, Encouraging Dance that will turn her into a rage engine as her legion gets hit a lot and more and more rage let her punish that with her hard-hitting skill. Then take the ultimate talent here in the Infantry Tree which should be Ready for Battle with the chance for the extra counterattack. Now spread the rest of your talent points like shown inthe image (red talents) and you will have an incredible talent build with a hard-hitting infantry hero. Here’s the build that will improve your rage generation a lot, cycle through Nika’s active skill more frequently and add more damage by doing so. This is the highest-damage build that you can run but you might want to include a secondary hero that can provide survivability as there is no defense at all in these talents.here’s the order how to build it… First you you make your way to Spirit of Rage to gain more rage and pick up some buffs on your way as well. From here make it to Thirst of Blood picking the yellow points. Thirst of Blood works crazy here as you will extra skill damage when you perform a rage skill and with all the extra rage you will be spamming your active skill and deal more extra damage.The last points then are well-spend in the red points in the picture, gaining some more rage and damage and there you go. This is the Peacekeeping build to use against Darklings, Dark Creatures or Behemoths in general with Nika. First you go through the end of the Peacekeeping Tree as shown in yellow in the image and then use your last talent points in the Infantry Tree to increase the damage and utility against Darklings, Dark Creatures and Behemoths with Nika.
