LNike is really good for newer to mid tier players, where her massive spike damage will get you through harder content that you'd normally struggle against. A good example is something like GO, something that's quite difficult for non-vets, but can easily be cleared using LNike double FBurst. However, as you get stronger and fully develop your grid, you just don't really need that anymore (because more often than not, 1 full burst does the job) and you begin to transition into looking for better average damage (for faster clears/MVPs etc). In this stage, LNike isn't particularly great, because it takes a long time for her to build up and thus averages out somewhat poorly. That said, it doesn't mean she's useless. Instead of running some meme turtling team for 15f of tower, what you CAN do is use her to carry a much weaker team through 13-14 (or w/e is a little below your max), while using your main where it matters most.

This pretty much summarizes why light nike isnt liked very much among veterans, shes slow, niche and out of speed meta (and yes slashley get used to debuff resistant bosses, thats the inevitable future so learn to love them, using "debuff resistant enemies are stupid" as an argument is stupid), so you have 2 scenarios:

- she gives 2 full burst, oh great nike thanks for your second full burst, a shame that this thing died in the first, maybe next time i try stacking your assault buff.
- well nike your assault buff is sick, its a shame i didnt have time to stack it enough, maybe in the (nonexistant) future ill stack it enough.

She fails on both so yeah ill pass on her along most veterans, and in regards to the light units that outshine nike when put together in different scenarios, you have iris, tish, takeminakata, michael, sol, lugh, vishnu, metatron (kinda niche so dont take me too seriously on this one), light atena, those are a few that leave no place for nike at all, good thing that nutaku separated nike and thunder aphro so people could roll for aphro without being dissapointed by getting nike.
