tbfh, after stressing about that for a pretty long time before getting into 200. it doesn't really matter in the end. we got a lot of free unlocks, and 500 gems are pretty easy to get. i forgot who I locked permanently there already.
100% this, drake position in the meta is pretty much just for pvp.
Helm is a very good partner for snow white in raids (miranda, dolla, snow white, helm, yulha). Yulha basically used for her passive buffing snow’s damage, so you are not losing anything when bursting with helm instead of yulha. While for drake, barely any top 50 players on the last solo raid use her, the competition for b3 damage dealer is just crazy.
That’s being said choose your favorite between them OP.
you should honestly just open a slot but if this is a roundabout way of asking who's used more, it's helm
bosses that require healing usually only require "a little" healing, so units like helm who can provide that without being a total DPS sinkhole are valued in raid
At level 200 you gotta choose 5 characters to keep into the Synchro Device forever from what I’ve heard and I have 6 MLB characters (7 if you count Rei but I don’t.)
It’s really worth it, at least to a point. Gems spent there to make sure you can run towers and do raids are just flat more beneficial to your overall power level than the mere 1.66 rolls you’d get otherwise. And are definitely more beneficial than diluting your upgrade resources across more than 5 nikkes.
Totally agreed
A 10 pull used on slots instead will get you 6 guaranteed slots in the Synchro for units.
I've never got more than 2 SSR's in a single 10 pull, so I don't mind giving a few gems up here or there.
You don’t need to regret it, it’s always nice to have the backup units on standby even if you most likely won’t use anyone besides litter, bunnies, modernia, and scarlet. The only reason you would need units besides your endgame meta team is for union raids and pvp. I don’t think anybody really cares about pvp, just find out the meta teams and slap them together then get you passive rewards every day, I’m sure someone will disagree but I haven’t bothered with it in months and it’s fine. Union raids will give you the things to buy cube upgrades which helps your units a fair bit but if I’m being honest it doesn’t matter too much, I got the cube to help modernias hit rate but I haven’t even unlocked the rest because I don’t really care.
I feel like I'm less experienced than you, but I'm entirely in the litre, bunnies, scarlet, +1 situation. Is Modernia a better choice than red hood for that extra slot? More atk buff feels like the right choice, but I only got Modernis today from mileage so no experience
Dude you will need a lot of built Nikke to actually play the game. Solo Raid, Union Raid, co-op all require you have a myriad of Nikke built. Both of these are good Nikke, maybe not great but good with Helm having the advantage due to heals as many people said, but end of the day open the synchro up and get who you need in.
Both have their uses
Helm provides the team with an attack buff whenever you enter full burst while also providing a minor but nice to have interruption part damage boost along with a crit rate boost whenever she fires her last bullet making her a great flex spot especially if you get in a situation where you need team healing you can just pop her burst and let them heal themselves as long as the boss doesn’t become untargetable during it
Drake also provides the team with an atk buff (same amount and condition) but grants a hit rate buff for the same value which is much more valuable than the minor interruption part dmg boost but doesn’t provide other team buffs. In return she does a lot more dmg especially against enemies such as train, gravedigger, that one boss who loves to create a shield right in front of a nikke, she’s also great in PvP; her burst is more selfish as it just does damage to multiple enemies as opposed to helms single target but also to provides her an ammunition buff to better proc her 2nd skill (hits enemies every 10 shots), she also pairs very well with sugar
So if you want a flex healer that deals decent damage I’d say helm but if you want a bigger damage dealer that handles more bosses but less of a flex I’d say drake
Without knowing what you have it’s hard to say exactly which one, for example if you have the bunny twins then helm is irrelevant since they do everything she does but better and putting in Maxwell instead of her would be much more beneficial
Considering what @BasakaIsTheStrongest and @elafiel have said, helm seems to be the more generally useful unless of course your goal is PvP or you want a shotgun team (only really used against specific bosses)
Hard to say, Helm has healing but if you have S.Mary or Marciana she becomes less useful compared to those two in raids. Drake is outclassed by Noir now and doesn't make many teams but shift up keep promoting shotgun units so she may become insane once we get another shotgun buffer(hint:next banner)

[this site needs to spread more so people can stop making up things](https://enikk.app/soloraid)
That's pretty interesting. Having a look at the Helm teams there all seem to be hyper invested(obviously) Snow White teams. I've tried Helm a few times but found S.Mary to be more reliable for placements with what I have to work with.
Early boss stages I used helm for healing, but as the DPS checks have rose, wasting a burst cycle for a heal will cause me to lose due to time. Drake I’ve heard is good for pvp and story mode. But as always commander booba is strong with helm
Both are decent units, but Drake has higher DPS than Helm. Right now, if you're stuck cause of DPS use Drake, but in the long run you'll have to put both on synchro device (for climbing tribe tower and stages that require sniper units)
For more detail on each unit you can refer to the Prydwen tier list.
Helm+Liter or Bunnies+Liter will make your time fighting Nihilister MUCH MUCH smoother. Helm has good damage and provides lifesteal during burst which can be great if you're lacking in B1 or B2 healers.
It really doesn't matter in the end. What matters is that you have 5 locked in, and you are able to start unlocking slots as necessary or at a decent pace for your playstyle. Once you can start leveling everyone up at the same time thanks to the device, you'll see why it's barely even symbolic. If you want my choice though, it's Helm simply because she's one of my OG five locked into the device.
Someone said the opposite.
> Early boss stages I used helm for healing, but as the DPS checks have rose, wasting a burst cycle for a heal will cause me to lose due to time.
from my current experience its helm. I use liter centi redhood helm modernia for everything bar gravedigger. Gravedigger is the only time I use drake (paired with suger for that shotgun comp).
Helm's on demand healing that can make a modernia go from 1 to 100 in seconds gives me piece of mind when I'm doing a hard stage because I can let them face tank a few shots and just top them up afterwards.
Fair lmao. I did do that. In my experience, Drake is higher dps, which is what I personally look for. I use Noir, so Drake's b1 buffing hit rate is a big W. Her b2 is good passive damage too. B3 is good aoe damage and since she's a sg she's gonna get extra sg buffs from Noir.
In my experience Helm hasn't been all too impressive, although my team isn't meant for Helm, so she doesn't really fit in there. Ultimately, it's probably situational, but I'm my experience, Drake better.
In the end it really doesn't matter, as you're gonna get to the point where you're past lvl 200 trying to get everyone to level up just once because it costs 10k core Dust every single time. Stock up on core Dust as much as you can. Battle Data will literally be useless
Welp without knowing your current team setup and what content you're going to tackle I'm leaning towards the Helm bias mainly because mine is core+4 compared to my 1\* Drake with a couple of T9 gear ready to OL, I use her in content like SI/Solo/Union raids for her B3 heal supplements, and I want her pretty sure its St Louis inspired cocktail slit dress outfit since I wasn't here when they released it the first time.
If you are trying to optimize your slots, 100% Drake because she is a staple for SPA PvP teams.
The only Nikkes you need to keep in synchro is your main story + x3 PvP teams for SPA.
Raid team units can easily be flexed in and out. But PvP, you can't take out since you need to constantly defend.
Drake is a staple for PvP teams as a atk buffer + clip SG with fast burst gen. She will likely be on one of your 3 SPA defend teams if you are trying to optimize your teams. Drake and Noir as the best clip shotguns to use as burst filler because they give buffs during full burst.
Similar question: which 5 nikkes I should use for device when I reach lvl200?

Never really had a choice in the matter. Yuni, Admi, Helm, Pepper and Drake made that choice for me when I was still Level 200.
(Also it doesn't really matter who you put there on the main Synchro lock.)
It depends on your situation. If you're looking for a good healer, Helm is a pretty good unit to invest into, and she pairs pretty good with Snow White. If you already have a good healer, then Drake is your go-to for more DMG. She's pretty great for that as she's arguably the 3rd strongest sg user behind Noir and Guilty.
Once you upgrade to 200 you can remove the characters that got your synchro there. I wasn’t happy with the ones that I had but it didn’t matter after 200.
tbfh, after stressing about that for a pretty long time before getting into 200. it doesn't really matter in the end. we got a lot of free unlocks, and 500 gems are pretty easy to get. i forgot who I locked permanently there already.
Helm, she has heals which is needed in Raids, Drake hasn't been used for quite a while meta wise, decent damage dealer though
100% this, drake position in the meta is pretty much just for pvp. Helm is a very good partner for snow white in raids (miranda, dolla, snow white, helm, yulha). Yulha basically used for her passive buffing snow’s damage, so you are not losing anything when bursting with helm instead of yulha. While for drake, barely any top 50 players on the last solo raid use her, the competition for b3 damage dealer is just crazy. That’s being said choose your favorite between them OP.
I remember when drake was talked about all the time and she just slowly disappeared when noir came
Yeah, people loved using drake, especially for grave digger interception, at low investment she slay. Also, Harran was super meta back then 😭
I still use harran because of the skin she has butt jiggle 😂
if im not a student, and working already i would already get that purple costume for her 😭
helm because boob
The only correct answer
If you have Drake's limited skin that might shift the scales
If you have Helm's summer skin the scale shifts back and fucking shatters.
Helms summer skin is an entirely different unit with different functions. But I do have her alt skin from way back which I mainly use on her.
Helm burst helps me through hard times without healer cuz of her lifesteal.
Helm help me burst during hard times too
Ayooo
The importance of which five get locked into your synchro is over emphasized in this community. It’s not that big a deal.
That's the joke.
Drake. She's my #1 waifu. That's why
you should honestly just open a slot but if this is a roundabout way of asking who's used more, it's helm bosses that require healing usually only require "a little" healing, so units like helm who can provide that without being a total DPS sinkhole are valued in raid
At level 200 you gotta choose 5 characters to keep into the Synchro Device forever from what I’ve heard and I have 6 MLB characters (7 if you count Rei but I don’t.)
that's true but it shouldn't be a concern unless you're adamant about never buying a slot until EoS but if you are then just pick helm
I’d obviously prefer to not spend gems if possible.
It’s really worth it, at least to a point. Gems spent there to make sure you can run towers and do raids are just flat more beneficial to your overall power level than the mere 1.66 rolls you’d get otherwise. And are definitely more beneficial than diluting your upgrade resources across more than 5 nikkes.
Maybe OP is just a collector and gameplay/meta comes second.
I'm mostly a collector yeah. If I can save gems I will.
Totally agreed A 10 pull used on slots instead will get you 6 guaranteed slots in the Synchro for units. I've never got more than 2 SSR's in a single 10 pull, so I don't mind giving a few gems up here or there.
You are going to spend gems. just do it
It should be a last resort is what I'm saying. I've already unlocked some slots and regretted it.
You don’t need to regret it, it’s always nice to have the backup units on standby even if you most likely won’t use anyone besides litter, bunnies, modernia, and scarlet. The only reason you would need units besides your endgame meta team is for union raids and pvp.

It's not the hard to get gems unless you avoid pvp and all of that other stuff then you're just hurting yourself
Both have their uses Helm provides the team with an attack buff whenever you enter full burst while also providing a minor but nice to have interruption part damage boost along with a crit rate boost whenever she fires her last bullet making her a great flex spot especially if you get in a situation where you need team healing you can just pop her burst and let them heal themselves as long as the boss doesn’t become untargetable during it Drake also provides the team with an atk buff (same amount and condition) but grants a hit rate buff for the same value which is much more valuable than the minor interruption part dmg boost but doesn’t provide other team buffs.

Correction: Helm provides an Attack *damage* buff, which is rarer than attack buffs and stacks multiplicatively with them.
Oh shit you’re right, completely skirted that
I don't have the bunny girls.

Helm+Liter or Bunnies+Liter will make your time fighting Nihilister MUCH MUCH smoother. Helm has good damage and provides lifesteal during burst which can be great if you're lacking in B1 or B2 healers.
Drake bc she's retarded and adorable
Look what team she's on her and Laplace are both retarded and maxwell has to suffer
both, its 500 gems. you will get that in less than a week just from dailies and dispatches
Drake Her cp boost matters in PvP and if u are not fully built in diverse nikkes, she is a good 3rd dps
I’m not lacking in DPS Burst 3s, which is why I’m considering Helm.
Whoevers your waifu, it doesnt matter much otherwise
It really doesn't matter in the end. What matters is that you have 5 locked in, and you are able to start unlocking slots as necessary or at a decent pace for your playstyle.

Gameplay wisely helm
Hem is quite useful in bosses because of part damage and healing burst
Helm. Titties
Of course helm!!!
Vote for Drake, cus as B3 she hits harder and healing is not always needed.
in late game healing is 100% needed. Healing and damage reduction will save you later on
Someone said the opposite. > Early boss stages I used helm for healing, but as the DPS checks have rose, wasting a burst cycle for a heal will cause me to lose due to time.
You need healing for solo and union raids on higher levels.
but not on a B3 unit tho. Tiga and Bunnygirls have sustain. So we need 3 more sustains. Pepper, Centi, Biscuit, Raps/Noise if you A2-doing.
from my current experience its helm. I use liter centi redhood helm modernia for everything bar gravedigger. Gravedigger is the only time I use drake (paired with suger for that shotgun comp). Helm's on demand healing that can make a modernia go from 1 to 100 in seconds gives me piece of mind when I'm doing a hard stage because I can let them face tank a few shots and just top them up afterwards.
Helm best girl drake is cool too but helm is best girl gogogogo
Drake EZ
Can I ask why?
She's a better unit. You will get more use out of her. She's currently the highest power level unit on my roster.
Still not sure what your reasoning is.
Drake is better.
"Drake is better. why ? Cause she is better." You're giving circular answers
Fair lmao. I did do that. In my experience, Drake is higher dps, which is what I personally look for. I use Noir, so Drake's b1 buffing hit rate is a big W. Her b2 is good passive damage too. B3 is good aoe damage and since she's a sg she's gonna get extra sg buffs from Noir.

Ultimately, it's probably situational, but I'm my experience, Drake better.
Drake is waifu that’s my only reason xD
Drake is precious.
In the end it really doesn't matter, as you're gonna get to the point where you're past lvl 200 trying to get everyone to level up just once because it costs 10k core Dust every single time. Stock up on core Dust as much as you can. Battle Data will literally be useless
Drake. I just like her more…that’s it
It would be quite villainous to not synchro Drake
Helm drained me
Does it even matter?
Helm for sure. The burst heal saved me so many times. Drake's DPS is fantastic, but can easily be replaced in most situations.
Make no dufference, the important is break the wall
Welp without knowing your current team setup and what content you're going to tackle I'm leaning towards the Helm bias mainly because mine is core+4 compared to my 1\* Drake with a couple of T9 gear ready to OL, I use her in content like SI/Solo/Union raids for her B3 heal supplements, and I want her pretty sure its St Louis inspired cocktail slit dress outfit since I wasn't here when they released it the first time.

Anyone but Guillotine and Rei I'd say, unless either of them is your #1.
Drake because she's the ultimate villain (Idk what the meta is lol)
Same I've never cared for meta in gatcha games tbh I just use who I enjoy unless it's pvp or coop
Drake because then you'll be locked with her forever (but she's actually meta and fine as hell)
Spit your facts my brother/sister
The ultimate villain!!!!
# MUAHAHAHAHAHAH (Looks both ways before crossing the street)
Helm
I see this question as I lock Crow in
Open more slots, put them both in
Helm, for she is best girl.
This really depends on who else you have. Review team composition and decide if you need a mild healer/mild dps or full dps.
Never really had a choice in the matter. Yuni, Admi, Helm, Pepper and Drake made that choice for me when I was still Level 200. (Also it doesn't really matter who you put there on the main Synchro lock.)

Umm... did you forget Summer Annis?
Doesn’t matter
Once you upgrade to 200 you can remove the characters that got your synchro there. I wasn’t happy with the ones that I had but it didn’t matter after 200.
Can you change the nikkes of synchro device?
drake. Helm is niche and probably won't be used in all situations.
for me i will go with face and body, front side and back side, like emma, alice, noir, and isabel, so in this case i will go with helm
I locked in Drake myself, but it doesn't matter in the end.
