Vortex Gaming

· Cube enhancements use dedicated batteries, which can be obtained from Solo Raid and the Union Shop.
· Currently, exchanging in the Union Shop is the only way to enhance specific cubes.
· The maximum cube level is 15, and after level 10, 100 batteries are required for each enhancement, making it difficult to upgrade.
· A cube's inherent performance reaches its cap at level 7, so the basic goal is level 7.
· For cubes frequently used in Solo Raids or campaigns, the advantageous code is important, so aiming for level 15 is recommended.
· Each cube can be equipped by up to 12 Nikkes, and while the content of Skill 1 differs per cube, the maximum level is consistently 3.

· This cube increases reload speed, making it a highly versatile cube that boosts firepower for any character.
· If you're unsure, it's a good idea to enhance this cube.
· It's especially effective for Assault Rifle, Machine Gun, and Submachine Gun characters with high ammo capacity.
· Be careful with Rocket Launcher and Sniper Rifle characters, as exceeding approximately 108% reload speed might prevent them from firing all their bullets.
· Helm's buff disappears, so a different cube might be better in a Crown Mast composition.

Level	Reload Speed Increase
1	14.84%
2	22.27%
3	29.69%

· Recommended Characters: All characters in Crown's formation, all characters in Maid Mast and Privaty's combination (effectively infinite ammo when reload speed exceeds 108%).

· This cube recharges ammo after firing 10 shots.
· It's mainly used by Machine Gun characters with high ammo capacity, and recently, SG characters also use it frequently.
· Useful for characters whose firepower relies on normal attacks during Burst.
· Its usage is limited as compositions exceeding 100% reload speed have become possible.

Level	Ammo Recharge Amount
1	1 bullet
2	2 bullets
3	3 bullets

· Recommended Characters: SG formation characters like Swimsuit Dorothy, Scarlet: Black Shadow, Bunny A2. Machine Gun characters outside of Crown's formation.

· This cube increases pierce damage.
· It can only be equipped by characters with pierce ability, so its versatility is low, but there are situations where it can deal higher damage than reload speed cubes, making it worth considering for enhancement.
· While reload speed cubes are more versatile, prioritizing pierce cubes can be a good choice for characters used with Crown Mast.

Level	Pierce Damage Increase
1	7.07%
2	10.6%
3	14.14%

· Recommended Characters: Grave, Red Hood (both have virtually infinite ammo during Burst). Especially for Grave, the pierce cube generally deals higher damage at the same cube level.

· This cube increases part damage.
· It's prioritized in situations where parts frequently appear, but otherwise, it's a specialized cube that might deal less damage than reload speed cubes.
· If you primarily play Union Raids, it's worth enhancing after reload speed and ammo recharge cubes.
· Material H's core is treated as a part, so Nayuta's firepower definitely increases with this cube.
· Parts are often targeted only by pierce attacks, so pierce characters mainly use it, and it pairs well with characters that deal high burst damage.

Level	Part Damage Increase
1	15.95%
2	23.92%
3	31.90%

· This cube increases defense ignore damage.
· It's a very limited cube that only affects attackers who deal defense-ignoring attacks.
· Defense ignore attackers don't have a high standing in Solo Raids, and in campaigns, reload speed or attack damage buffs are more effective, so opportunities for use are rare.
· Currently, it might be utilized in multi-hit defense ignore damage compositions or for defense ignore attackers in the Arena.

Level	Defense Ignore Damage Increase
1	7.07%
2	10.6%
3	14.14%

· Recommended Characters: Taki, Naida, Ain, TU Vestie. Defense ignore attackers combined with Miranda (reload speed is unnecessary as they don't fire bullets during Burst). TU Vestie is good for Arena use.

· This cube increases Max HP.
· In campaigns or Solo Raids, it's used for healers who recover based on Max HP, and in Arena, it's used to increase durability.
· It's also useful for characters whose buffs are applied based on HP.
· Most healers recover based on their final Max HP, so it's recommended to equip this cube on healers.
· For some healers who require a certain number of shots, a reload speed cube might increase the total healing amount.

Level	Max HP Increase
1	4.84%
2	7.27%
3	9.69%

· Recommended Characters: Healers like Blanc, characters whose HP converts to firepower like Maiden or Cinderella, and taunt characters like Noise.

· This cube reduces damage taken.
· It can be equipped by Tank characters, and in Arena, it's useful for characters who are easily defeated as the leftmost character is prioritized.
· It's mainly equipped by taunt characters, but sometimes by attackers as well.
· If you prioritize Arena, it's worth enhancing.

Level	Damage Taken Reduction
1	4.84%
2	7.27%
3	9.69%

· Recommended Characters: All characters placed on the leftmost side in Arena, taunt characters. Supporters lacking durability in Solo Raid.

· This cube increases Burst Gauge charge speed.
· It's mainly used in Arena, where you need to use Burst even 1 second faster than your opponent.
· In content other than Arena, other cubes are prioritized, so it's good to decide whether to enhance it based on your Arena play.

Level	Burst Gauge Charge Speed Increase
1	2.33%
2	3.5%
3	4.6%

· Recommended Characters: Characters with good gauge generation efficiency, such as split-reload Rocket Launchers or SG characters.

· This cube increases charge speed.
· It's mainly equipped by Rocket Launcher or Sniper Rifle characters for whom charge speed is important.
· In Arena, if you have the same composition as your opponent, you can use Burst faster than an opponent who doesn't have this cube equipped.
· It's prioritized when the Relic Quantum Cube cannot be equipped.

Level	Charge Speed Increase
1	1.06%
2	1.59%
3	2.12%

· Recommended Characters: Split Rocket Launchers, all Rocket Launchers, Emilia (for Overload compensation). Helm can use this cube if her reload speed exceeds 100%, preventing her from firing all bullets.

· This cube increases Defense.
· It's equipped by characters whose skill conditions refer to Defense, but currently, there are no such characters.
· Most characters refer to Max HP, so it can be seen as a weaker alternative to the Relic Tempering Cube.
· Until characters that refer to Defense appear, it's best used as a substitute when cube slots are scarce.

Level	Defense Increase
1	24.2%
2	36.35%
3	48.45%

· Recommended Characters: Moran, Nero.

· This cube increases charge damage.
· It's equipped on Sniper Rifles or Rocket Launchers that can increase charge damage.
· However, equipping a reload speed cube or ammo recharge cube provides a greater firepower increase in prolonged battles, so it's rarely prioritized.
· It can be used for Burst characters like Maxwell, who have a high attack multiplier but a low charge damage multiplier.

Level	Charge Damage Increase
1	2.4%
2	3.81%
3	5.09%

· This cube increases Accuracy.
· It can be equipped by Submachine Gun and SG characters with low accuracy.
· However, a 5% accuracy increase has a minimal effect, so it's rarely prioritized.
· In the early stages, it's often equipped for stat purposes, but its usage decreases once reload speed cubes and ammo recharge cubes are acquired.

Level	Accuracy Increase
1	2.54%
2	3.81%
3	5.09%

· This cube increases Max Ammo Capacity.
· Anyone can equip it except for characters with last-bullet-related skills.
· However, for characters with low ammo capacity, a reload speed cube increases the total number of shots more, and for Machine Gun characters, an ammo recharge cube allows them to fire more bullets even with a base of 3 shots. Therefore, it's used as a temporary measure when an ammo recharge cube is unavailable.

Level	Max Ammo Capacity Increase
1	14.84%
2	22.27%
3	29.69%

· This cube increases healing amount.
· Most healers recover based on their own HP, making it a weaker alternative to the Relic Vigor Cube.
· It has meaning when equipped if durability is lacking, but since it's not a damage-increasing cube, its priority is low.

Level	Healing Amount Increase
1	8.08%
2	12.12%
3	16.16%

· This cube increases HP when HP is below 20%.
· Currently, it has no practical use.
· While it's possible to intentionally create a situation where HP is low, the effect is minimal compared to the very strict conditions.
· Equipping other cubes provides more benefits in terms of firepower or durability than equipping this cube, so there's no need to prioritize its enhancement.

Level	HP Increase
1	6.07%
2	9.1%
3	12.14%

· Union Chips are limited, so you need to prioritize and exchange them carefully.
· If you're wondering which cube to enhance, exchanging for a reload speed cube will be a choice you won't regret.
