Rootin’ Tootin’ & Gun Shootin’ – A Nisha Guide

Overview

This is my personal build for Nisha, including my own gameplay approach. This guide includes all of my personal preferences, and is only present if you are confused.You do not have to do what I exactly do, since its better for you to have your own style. However, you may find a thing or two useful in this guide. Enjoy!

The Build Tree and My Gameplay Approach

First, focus on the middle tray, and follow this pattern:

Next, focus on the right tree (red) and follow this pattern:

Lastly, check the left tree (green) and upgrade Order:

What my approach, using this build, aims for is giving all the glory to: PISTOLS and SHOWDOWN (the special move)
The middle tray’s last ability gives us dual weild for pistols, and that is a key advantage for nisha.
The left red tray’s last ability gives a cool explosion after showdown to every single enemy that was hit during it, and notice how a handful of the skills work during showdown, and how another handful of them are “Kill Skills” which means they are enabled after getting a kill. Using showdown, we can get those kills, and activate both the kill skills and the skills that work during showdown. Combine that with dual pistols, and we’ll reign with pain upon the enemies. Even better, with the damage done and those kills being achieved, showdown will last longer.
That’s a nice win win isnt it? 😛

Loadout: Important Note

PLEASE NOTE: Shields, relics, etc… are all YOUR options. I will be focusing on Guns & Class mods here

Loadout: Guns

Remember everything is your option, i’m just giving you my preferences My usual rule for weapons is try to go for legendaries, but dont be afraid to mix things up from time to time.
Nina’s skills include Incidienary damage chance and explosive damage kill skills for NON ELEMENTAL WEAPONS; so, try to exclude Fire guns, TORGUE weapons, and Elemental guns in general; however, don’t be afraid to include them in your loadout since the skills dont bring out the full potential of explosive and fire damage.

I prefer a Sniper Rifle, here’s what I use.

Notice how I said avoid fire guns but dont be afraid to include them? This is why. This legendary sniper ignores shields and goes straight for flesh, that’s its legendary attribute; and we know fire and flesh work well together, so its still a win win :D.
If you dont have that legendary and/or what a different sniper, here are some other ones I use.
Or

Rocket launchers. Yes, we need a big bang for “Fight for your Life” mode, and/or dish out massive damage over area in a fair amount of time. I personally use this, cuz we all love Duke Nukem stuff that comes with balls of steel dont we 😉
This is a catapult-like rocket launcher, but man it literally shoots nukes.
If you dont have this, or you want a better ranged/”direct and straight path” type of rocket launcher,
then here is a nice example (for me)
Lemme sum up rocket launchers by saying: Go for TORGUE, seriously.

Yes, this is the best part! Pistols are YOUR MOST IMPORTANT GUN FOR NISHA. The perfect girl deserves the perfect gun, and that would be this Legendary babe:

Yes sir, with the highest damage output in-game, positive clip size and ammo consumption, in-combination with the Dual Weild skill in our build tree, this will basically be like… Eating the best cheeseburger in the world? (I suck at metaphors lol).
If you do not have this, or you want an alternative (Which you shouldnt look for since this is #1) you can use this other legendary babe:
You can use any pistol you want, just make sure it suits your condition/playstyle. A good rule for pistols & Nisha I use is: GO FOR JAKOBS PISTOLS

We deserve freedom dont we? For this slot, use any gun you want… SMG.. Assault Rifles… Shotguns… Lasers… Another pistol… Another Rocket launcher… etc…
For me, I like to use the following:
A Shotgun
An Assault Rifle
Or a Laser

And that’s basically it; Moving on!

Loadout: Class Mods

A Class Mod is basically the thing that refines and defines your actual approach for your character.
Now, we previously stated that the gameplay approach throughout this guide is to give all the glory and power to PISTOLS and the SHOWDOWN special move. There are two class mods that perfectly represent my philosophy.
1. The one I use:
Obviously this is a Legendary class mod, so it deserves a top spot; not only that, but it gives out the highest cooling rate advantage (35%) out of all the class mods, as well as nice bonus skill points for fun :D, and come on… The name literally says: CELESTIAL LAWBRINGER Class Mod… How badass right!?

2. You can also use a Desperado. These give out BOTH extra pistol damage and improved cooling rate for SHOWDOWN. However, the cooling rate is less than that of the Legendary Celestial Lawbringer Mod (the one above), and do not give out as much bonus skill points as the Legendary mod above. Here are examples of a Desperado: ( I also use those sometimes for fun instead of the Legendary xD)

Loadout: Quick Extras

Focus on Shield Capacity, then recharge rate, then delay. Here is what I use. Notice how Shield Capacity is the one I focus on. Pangolin shields are known as the best because they give out more capacity, BUT… THEY LOWER YOUR HEALTH. HEALTH IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Go for Anshin type shields; they increase your max health and have fair shield capacity; however, this is what I use; because I personally like Novas

Focus on those mods that suck in enemies first, and then blow them up; since that’ll guarantee damage being done.
Use this babe… trust me…

Focus on Capacity (obviously). I also like to take those that give elemental or explosive damage to buttslams, and those that increase Gun Damage. Here are examples of what I use:
