http://flowerknight.wikia.com/wiki/Pink
Deadline: 30.07.2018

Hmmm... I really am not very active this month, this July is really hellish for me. But now I guess I will take this small opportunity to babbling a bit.

Pink, or Nadeshiko but seriously it's too mouthful so let's stick with Pink. Pink is the character that... cursed with traitor artist so she still doesn't have bloom pic yet. But let's talk about that in extra, now let's go with the usual. Oh and here 'Paper only'

1. Stat: Pink has really awesome atk and it's really high that break 8500 wall. (If you can remember my limit, it's 8000 for atk) great def and solid hp with just 1000 below 20k. Her speed is average so she will fit easily into any kind of team. Pink has a very great stat and it's showing.
Grading: A+

2. Skill: 2.9x on all targets with 34% chance max. Not really good trade off as .1x vs 4% activation, then again her ability will offset this. I guess it's all balanced out.
Grading: B

3. Abilities: Her abilities clearly geared to boss killer, she's more of a sweeper than the main gun however.

25% atk boost is nothing notable, it served its role but if it's not higher than 30% unconditional it's not standing out from others right?

In boss fight however she boost additional extra 20% atk and 15% damage so well, she is fine as a supporter. Especially with the next one, the highlight.

1.28x-1.36x skill activation is great asset and it's rare. The pale part is, however, some girls need the skillblooms more than her. but even at lv.1 it's still better than usual 1.2x so this ability is as great as ever.

Heal 10%HP when pass nest node however, is out of meta a long, long time ago. No one really care about the nest anymore no matter how many of them. This skill is pretty much useless. Might as well delete it.

Grading: B

Final verdict: Pink has a great potential as sweeper in boss fight, open the way for her comrade to get a clear shot on boss. But that's pretty much it about her. She has solid hp and high def but I don't think she will last more than 2 turns against OP bosses. She only has 4 useful abilities too so she lost out to her sweeper comrades. I guess it's B for her. Good to have, but not needed as there are better girls.

Extra: Pink and Christmas Rose shared the same cursed fate that they are both drawn by Wazakita, the traitor artist who abandoned his/her faith FKG and went hiatus. (/jk about traitor parts lol) As a result they both cursed by have no bloom pic for a full year now. Even newer girls got bloom pics one after another. It's a real shame as I do like the artstyle. Very detailed and full of expression. I also like Pink's voice. Very cute and full of passionate as master swordsman in dojo. Her 5* is very powerful and like how maotd actively use her and always said about her power, I stand for his op and have high hope for her RG.

Once again, I almost forgot to rate a girl.

Pink Miko is S Tier. What? We don't speak about Pink Miko but Regular Pink? Okay...

Stats:
HP: Low HP, under the 20k. But she is not a defensive girl at all so, that's not a big problem for her.
ATK: She has the highest ATK stat from all the Natural 6* (with Nerine) with 8644. I'm pretty sure we can say she is good at it.
DEF: Pretty good defense. That's okay.
Low HP are always her weak point statwise. But ATK and DEF are good enough to compensate it.

Skill
2.9x damages to all, 34% skill rate.
2.9x damage is good but only x0.1 damage more than all the 2.8x for 34% rate instead of 37%... meh. It's not a bad skill at all but if she was in the x2.8 / 37% familiy she would be slightly better.
But that's okay anyway. Pink is Pink afterall.

Abilities
Okay let's start with her worst point.
Party members Heal 10% HP when encountering a Nest Panel
Useless legacy from olds times. No harder maps have encouterable Nest Panel. And you don't really need a solid 6* team for Event or Main missions.
Next ability please.

+25% ATK for all
That's, good. Not awesome but good. Most girls have +20 or +22%. +25% is slightly above. I'm ok.

1.28~1.36x skill rate
It's a rare ability and that's a good thing she got it. And that's why she would be better with a x2.8 / 37% skill instead of a x2.9 / 34% one.

+20% ATK on boss fights
That's good but not that much. But that's still welcome anyway.

+15% damages on bosses
Another good thing for her. It gives her a place in boss killer teams.

And... that's all. She is good but she still lack a little something to be better than good. I means, she had a totally useless ability and almost nothing to compensate it. All her abilities are good or very good but nothing awesome like some other natural 6* have (I don't speak about S Tier 6* obviously).

Team Build
With her nice ATK buff on bosses, her damage buff and her good skill act buff, she can be a good ally for boss killer team, or any other offensive archetype if you have a free place. But despite her assets, she is not a really a must have in a specific team out of boss killer (and even in boss killer team, she is a good girl but not an obligatory girl).

Conclusion
Pink is a good girl but less good than Pink Miko (in term of efficiency related to her amount of stars obviously). But she is not bad at all. Her good ATK and her boss killer assets make her a nice ally to have is most teams but she still lacks a bit of adaptability to shines in more than one very precise archetype.

Final verdict:
I wanted to give her a B Tier due to her lack of the little something mentioned above but I let her slip to the A Tier just because she is n°1 in ATK and almost all her assets go in tht way.
I like you Pink, but your Miko Version will always be higher in my heart

Ok this time i am really late to the party. I have to vote cause atm there is only one B-Vote (game) and one A-Vote (maotd) resulting in a draw. Pink was my first Waifu before i discovered Maple. I don't have her on DMM, only on Nutaku.

Stats

HP: 19074
Her HP is on the low side. Not an amazing start for her but she doesn't need that stat as much as girls rocking defensive Ability Sets.

Atk: 8644
She and Nerine have the highest Atk Stat in the entire game. That's beyond amazing and will definetely get her a lot of bonus points.

Defense: 3262
Nice and high defense. Definetely in the Higher Tier.

Grading: To be honest because she has the highest Atk in the entire game complementing her Ability Set and really good defense i will give her S-
here.

Skill Damage and Skill Activation Rate:
Deals 2.9x damage to all enemies 24% (Lv1) → 34% (Lv5)

It's the bare bones form of AOE Damage and Skill Activation. Not bad, not amazing. The variant featuring a little less Skill Damage but more Skill Act Chance would have been better for her considering her Ability Package. More Skill Act. Chance would have been nice in conjunction with her superior Skill Act. Ability.

Grading: B

Abilities:

Increases Attack for party members by 25%.
Good and Solid. 5% more Atk than average.

Increases Skill Activation Rate for party members by 1.28~1.36x based on one's own Skill Level (1~5).
The Superior Skill Act. Amazing Ability. You have to invest 4 Skill Blooms but it's definetely worth it. Definetely her best Ability in my opinion.

In a Boss fight, increases Attack for party members by 20%.
The most difficult maps are all based on hard boss battles. Therefore this Ability is really usefull.

Increases Damage for party members against Bosses by 15%.
Again really usefull. The more Atk. Buffs she received the better the Damage Boost gets.

Well her Ability Section looks amazing so far. 4 Highly usefull Abilites. What can possibly go wrong with her fifth Ability,right?
Yeaaaaaaaaaah...Sigh...

Party members Heal 10% HP when encountering a Nest Panel.
Unfortunately for Pink she still possesses an Ability which is extremely outdated by now. The Meta where you needed Girls soaking up Pest Damage is long gone. Yeah that's her weak point.

Grading: Unfortunately her Nest Panel Ability drags down her overall Rating in this section. Still it's worthy of B+

Conclusion:

Pink qualifies as a nice Sweeper Rainbow with Support Skills catered towards Boss Damage Teams (she can also fill the gap in many more Archetypes, she isn't the optimal choice though). She has godlike Atk and nice Defense. Unfortunately her useless Panel Ability gimps her overall Rating a little bit. For me she is somewhere between B+ and A-.
Since i am a big fan of the Superior Skill Act. Ability (look up my Red Ginger Vote for reference) and i am extremely impressed by her Atk i will let her slip to A-Tier as well. She is definetely one of the weaker A-Tiers so keep that in mind.

Final Verdict: A--

Okay! This time it is Pink! I honestly do not have any experience with this character. Only times I have seen her is on a few ally teams and she seemed pretty decent to where I could see she has some fans.

Analysis

Starting of with her HP stat, it is not all that high to be honest. But that seems to be the case with a lot of slice rainbows. They can end up as glass cannons. And wow! Her ATK stat is outrageously high! above 8600? Damn. Well at least one thing is for sure: If she only gets one hit, she is going to hit like a ton of bricks! And the nice feature is to round it out is that she has a pretty decent defense stat. So she will likely last more than one round. Overall I like her stats despite the disappointing HP.

Her skill is an AOE, which is always nice, and has about the same power of other rainbow girls with AOE abilities. So she really doesn't excel beyond anyone but neither falls short in that either. As for abilities, she has the standard decent increase in ATK for her party. She increases her own skill activation rate depending on her current skill level. This is probably her best ability as it can help her hit all the pests more frequently. But you have to invest into her to make it worthwhile. Now her boss abilities are somewhat disappointing. Compared to some of the best Boss units, increasing ATK by 20% is not all that great when Sakura is 35% and Pinkladies is 25%. Pink does beat both of them at Boss DMG at 15% compared to their 12%, but 3% difference doesn't really seem all that significant. SO she isn't likely to be the must have rainbow for boss killing, but she'll certainly fit in on a team for that purpose.

Her last ability is probably the worst and weakest point to her: Healing when hitting a nest panel. That is really only around in early game. With most of us at the levels we are at and the game at the point of development where it's at, this ability is practically useless. Nest panels are now often placed to where you can't reach and destroy them. Really sad. If FKG needs to do anything about it, they should change it to healing when encounter map roaming pests to make her more worthwhile in this sense.

Judgment: All in all, Pink is a very solid girl. But she has a few things that work against her. She's not top tier boss killer material, her HP is less than desirable, and has a trash ability holding her back. All things considered, there are other girls who made it into A tier that really earned those spots. I have a harder time putting Pink in those same ranks but can understand why others felt she deserved it. But for me she falls just short: B+

Waifu judgment

Honestly, she is a cute girl. But er color scheme really comes off as washed out to me. Almost like a water coloring artwork. Nothing stands out that makes her give me that "wow" feeling. She isn't even very curvy. I can see how she can be the waifu of many, but not for this particular ninja.
C Tier

Thank you for voting, guys.

We have a problem though cause the final results don't point in a 100% certain direction:
2X B-Vote
2X A-Vote

That's the first time this happened.
What should we do?

Do not fear, Mofu is here !

If you want, you can take my rating without writing a long post
C tier

This girl is nowhere near A tier. I think people are a bit overly generous with the last few ratings, everything is A/B.
But the fact is that no, bunch of them are not.

Low HP, Good DMG low Def. Ok speed. 2/3 stats are lack luster.

This gril, has Skill act, so that automatically makes her a C- tier according to my ratings
Next - Healing panel - worthless in maps, only semi useful in Whaleship (maybe... I havent got healing panels in there yet despite having Choco chan in my WS team)
Boss Dmg 15% and Boss Fight 20%
(Wiki keep crashing for me today at all, dunno why... thank you my Knights Quarters extensive listings for giving me the info I need).

Artwork: which is unrelated, is very beatiful, bunch of details and highlighted accessories and overall well done. Same with her 5* version which I assume once promoted will be much better then her native 6* form, and also has cute artwork so Win Win.
