Is Scarlet: Goddeath Worth Pulling? NIKKE Banner and Skills Guide

Scarlet: Goddeath is the second paid SSR of the NIKKE 4th Anniversary, and her banner opens on November 5. She is a Fire Burst III Attacker whose normal attacks pierce through enemies, with a burst window that stacks huge ATK and crit buffs on top. Her banner also runs alongside Marian: Queen for two weeks, so many players will have to choose between them. At gamemarket.gg, we cover when the banner runs, how her skills work, early build advice and whether she is worth your Gems.

Scarlet: Goddeath Banner Dates

• Banner: Special Recruit (Pick Up)
• Start: November 5, 2026, 05:00 (UTC+9)
• End: November 26, 2026, 04:59 (UTC+9)
• Rates: 1% for Scarlet: Goddeath, 4% total SSR rate
• Mileage: you can exchange 200 Gold Mileage Tickets for her, and unused tickets do not expire when the banner ends

The Marian: Queen banner runs until November 19, so the two anniversary banners overlap from November 5 to 19. The official announcement does not say whether Scarlet: Goddeath is limited or will join the standard pool later, so treat this banner as your safest chance to get her for now.

Profile and Weapon

• Element: Fire
• Weapon: Assault Rifle, "Beyond the Fade"
• Burst: Burst III
• Class: Attacker
• Manufacturer: Pilgrim
• Squad: Goddess
• Magazine: 9 rounds, with a 1.17-second reload

Unlike the original Scarlet, who is a Wind unit, Goddeath fights with Fire, so she fills a different slot on your roster rather than replacing her.

Skill 1: Beyond the Fade: Bloom

• From the start of battle, her normal attacks become wide-range Pierce attacks
• Her normal attacks also deal extra Iai damage to the enemy nearest the crosshair
• Normal attack crit rate +35%
• When she enters Full Burst, she gains +60% crit damage for 10 seconds

This skill is the core of her kit. Pierce lets her hit enemies and parts lined up behind her target, which matters a lot in raids where the weak point sits behind armor.

Skill 2: Beyond the Fade: Sword Dance

• Outside of Full Bloom, landing 2 critical normal attacks reloads 1 round
• Using her Burst grants a 10-second buff to normal attack crit rate, attack damage and Iai damage. According to the skill data shared by NikkeHub, these buffs reach +50% crit rate, +116% attack damage and +100% Iai damage

The reload effect helps her keep firing with a small 9-round magazine, since her high crit rate means she refills often.

Burst: Beyond the Fade: Goddeath

• Switches to Full Bloom for 10 seconds
• Normal attack range +100%
• ATK +120%
• Deals extra damage equal to 3,000% of final ATK to the nearest enemy
• Cooldown: 40 seconds

Every buff in her kit lines up inside the same 10-second burst window, so her damage depends heavily on timing her Burst with your team's Full Burst.

Early Build Advice

These recommendations come from pre-release guides and may change once players test her in Union Raids and Solo Raids.

• Skill priority: Burst first, then her crit and Pierce skill, then the remaining skill. A budget target of 7/7/7 is a good start, with 10/10/10 for raid investment
• Overload gear: focus on ATK and Critical Damage, then Elemental Damage. Early guides suggest avoiding Critical Rate, since her kit already gives a lot of it, as well as Hit Rate and DEF
• Harmony Cube: Resilience is the most common early suggestion, with Destruction as an option for raids. At least one guide notes the best cube has not been confirmed through live testing yet

Team Ideas

Early guides suggest building around a Burst I cooldown support, a Burst II Fire support and Scarlet: Goddeath as the main Burst III damage dealer:

• Raid team (reported): Liter, Grave, Scarlet: Goddeath, Marian: Queen, with Rapunzel: Sanctuary as a flex pick
• Free-to-play friendly team (reported): Liter, Rapunzel: Sanctuary, Scarlet: Goddeath, Rapi: Red Hood, plus a healer

Rapunzel: Sanctuary is the free SSR of the anniversary, which makes her an easy partner for Scarlet: Goddeath. Our 4th Anniversary SSR overview covers all three new Nikkes.

Is Scarlet: Goddeath Worth Pulling?

Consider pulling if:

• You need a strong Fire Burst III attacker for Union Raids and Solo Raids against Fire-weak bosses
• You want a Pierce damage dealer for bosses with parts hidden behind armor
• You plan to run her with Rapunzel: Sanctuary, who you can get for free this anniversary

Consider waiting if:

• You only have Gems for one anniversary banner and your team needs Marian: Queen more. Her banner ends earlier, on November 19
• You mainly play the campaign and already have enough Burst III attackers
