Some NIKKEs deliver all of their damage in a single Burst, while others become stronger the longer a battle lasts. Laplace: Ultimate Hero belongs firmly in the second category, transforming her Rocket Launcher into a rapid-fire machine gun that tears through enemies with sustained Pierce damage while continuously increasing her own Attack through Max HP scaling. If you're looking for a powerful Wind Burst III attacker for boss battles, Missilis Tower, or other long-form PvE content, Laplace is one of the strongest recent additions to your roster.

This Laplace: Ultimate Hero build guide covers everything you need to maximize her performance, including skill priorities, Harmony Cubes, Overload Gear, team compositions, and whether she's worth pulling. As you spend time farming gear, optimizing Overload lines, and building teams around her transformation mechanic, OSLink's Multi-Instance feature lets multiple NIKKE accounts progress together through synchronized gameplay, making rerolls, resource farming, and long-term roster development much more efficient.

Laplace: Ultimate Hero Overview

• Rarity: SSR

• Class: Attacker

• Burst Type: Burst III

• Weapon: Rocket Launcher

• Element: Wind

• Manufacturer: Missilis

• Primary Role: Sustained DPS

Laplace: Ultimate Hero is a sustained damage dealer who combines the high-impact shots of a Rocket Launcher with the rapid-fire capabilities of a machine gun. After building up Warm Up stacks through Full Charge attacks, she transforms into Electric Power, Fully Full Charge, gaining a 120-round machine gun with Pierce that allows her to continuously pressure enemies and deal massive damage over time.

Unlike traditional DPS characters that rely solely on Attack buffs, Laplace also scales with Max HP through her unique Over Energy mechanic. As battles continue, she continuously increases her Max HP, which in turn boosts her Attack, allowing her to become stronger the longer she stays in combat. This makes her especially effective in prolonged boss fights, Wind-focused content, and the Missilis Tower.

Strengths

• Excellent sustained DPS thanks to her Machine Gun transformation.

• Gains Pierce, allowing attacks to hit enemy cores, multiple parts, and enemies positioned behind one another.

• Unique HP-to-Attack scaling enables her damage to increase naturally throughout longer encounters.

• Performs exceptionally well against bosses with multiple hitboxes and in other sustained combat scenarios.

• One of the strongest recent additions for Missilis Tower, providing a much-needed Wind DPS option.

• Effective even without dedicated support, while still benefiting greatly from HP and offensive buffs.

Weaknesses

• Requires several Full Charge attacks before reaching her strongest Machine Gun state.

• Performs best in longer fights where she has enough time to build Warm Up and Over Energy stacks.

• While Maxwell significantly improves her performance, Laplace remains the higher priority if resources are limited.

• Although she is a powerful standard DPS, most early reviewers agree she is not a mandatory pull for established accounts with strong Wind teams.

• As a permanent standard unit, many players can obtain her later through the Standard Recruit or Wishlist, reducing the urgency to summon immediately.

Laplace Skill Breakdown

Laplace: Ultimate Hero revolves around a unique transformation mechanic. She starts combat as a Rocket Launcher user, then builds Warm Up stacks by performing Full Charge attacks. Once fully charged, she switches into her Electric Power, Fully Full Charge state, transforming her weapon into a rapid-firing machine gun with Pierce. While in this state, she generates Over Energy, increasing her Max HP and ultimately boosting her overall damage output. Understanding this cycle is the key to maximizing her performance.

Skill 1 – Electric Power, Fully Full Charge!

At the start of battle, Laplace gains a permanent Attack increase based on her final Max HP. Every Full Charge attack grants a stack of Warm Up, increasing her Charge Speed. After reaching five stacks, she transforms into Electric Power, Fully Full Charge, replacing her Rocket Launcher with a powerful machine gun that has 120 rounds, gains Pierce, and remains active until all ammunition is consumed. Once the transformation ends, she immediately empties her remaining ammo and returns to her normal weapon.

Highlights

This is the core of Laplace's kit. Her transformed weapon is responsible for most of her sustained damage, while Pierce allows her to hit enemy cores, multiple parts, and enemies lined up behind one another. Because her Attack scales with Max HP, every HP increase from her other skills also improves the damage dealt during this transformation.

Tips

• Prioritize entering the transformed state as quickly as possible by consistently landing Full Charge attacks.

• Max Ammo bonuses significantly improve the uptime of this form, making Overload Gear with Max Ammo especially valuable.

• Pierce is particularly effective against bosses with multiple hitboxes and enemies that expose their core.

Skill 2 – Over Energy 

While using Electric Power, Fully Full Charge, Laplace builds Over Energy after performing normal attacks. Once the gauge reaches 100%, it advances to the next Over Energy stage, permanently increasing her Max HP. Entering Burst Stage III also grants a powerful Attack Damage buff for 10 seconds.

Highlights

Over Energy creates a unique scaling mechanic. Instead of relying only on Attack buffs, Laplace continuously increases her Max HP throughout longer fights. Since Skill 1 converts Max HP into Attack, each Over Energy stage indirectly increases both her survivability and damage output, making her noticeably stronger as battles progress.

Tips

• This skill shines in longer encounters such as boss fights and Tower stages.

• Team members that provide HP or offensive buffs further enhance the value of this passive.

• The Attack Damage bonus during Full Burst significantly increases her overall DPS window.

Burst Skill – Regenerative Energy Armament: Mjolnir

Laplace's Burst provides a large self Attack buff before unleashing a powerful attack that damages all enemies. If she has reached at least Over Energy Stage 1, it also deals additional damage to the enemy closest to her crosshair, with the bonus damage increasing alongside her Over Energy stage.

Highlights

Her Burst combines excellent wave-clearing potential with strong single-target damage. The self Attack buff amplifies the damage of the Burst itself, while the additional Over Energy scaling rewards players who maintain her transformation cycle during extended fights.

Tips

• Try to activate Burst after building at least one Over Energy stage to maximize the additional damage.

• Although the Burst is powerful, Laplace's sustained damage primarily comes from maintaining her transformed Machine Gun state rather than relying solely on Burst windows.

Skill Upgrade Priority

For most players, Skill 1 → Skill 2 → Burst is the recommended upgrade order, as Skill 1 directly improves Laplace's primary damage source while Skill 2 enhances both her HP scaling and Full Burst damage. 

Investing to Level 7 across all three skills offers excellent value for the majority of players, while long-term investment into Skill 2 and Burst is worthwhile for those planning to use Laplace extensively in endgame content. 

Early community testing generally recommends 7/7/7 as the efficient stopping point, with 7/10/10 being a strong long-term goal.

Laplace Best Gear, Stats, and Harmony Cube

To get the most out of Laplace: Ultimate Hero, focus on increasing her sustained damage during Electric Power, Fully Full Charge while maximizing the uptime of her Machine Gun transformation. Since her Attack scales with Max HP and her transformed weapon benefits greatly from larger magazines, investing in the right Overload lines and Harmony Cube can significantly improve her performance in longer battles.

Best Stats Priority

Prioritize the following stats when building Laplace: Ultimate Hero:

Elemental Damage > ATK% > Max Ammo > Crit Rate / Crit Damage

• Elemental Damage – The highest priority for maximizing her damage against Wind-weak enemies and endgame content.

• ATK% – Increases all of Laplace's damage, including her Burst and sustained Machine Gun attacks.

• Max Ammo – One of her most valuable stats, allowing her to remain in Electric Power, Fully Full Charge longer before reverting to her Rocket Launcher.

• Crit Rate / Crit Damage – Useful secondary stats that further increase her overall DPS, especially during Full Burst windows.

Recommended Gear for Laplace: Ultimate Hero

Laplace: Ultimate Hero performs well with standard Tier 9 gear while progressing through the campaign and most PvE content. For players investing in Overload Gear, prioritize stats that improve her sustained Machine Gun damage and transformation uptime.

Recommended Overload priorities:

• Elemental Damage – Best overall damage increase for Wind-focused content.

• ATK% – Provides a consistent boost to all of her damage sources.

• Max Ammo – Extends the duration of her transformed Machine Gun state, resulting in higher sustained DPS.

• Crit Rate / Crit Damage – Strong filler options once the primary stats have been obtained.

Avoid prioritizing niche utility stats, as Laplace benefits far more from offensive Overload lines that increase her damage output throughout longer encounters.

Best Laplace Harmony Cube

Pierce Cube (Best with Reload Speed Supports) 

The Pierce Cube is Laplace's strongest option when your team already provides enough Reload Speed. Since her transformed Machine Gun already has excellent sustained damage, this Cube further enhances her offensive potential by allowing her to capitalize on her Pierce attacks during extended fights.

Bastion Cube (Best General Choice) 

The Bastion Cube is an excellent all-around option because it improves ammo efficiency, allowing Laplace to stay in her transformed Machine Gun state for longer before reloading. This directly increases her sustained DPS and makes it easier to maintain consistent damage against bosses.

Resilience Cube (Strong Alternative)

If your team lacks Reload Speed buffs, the Resilience Cube becomes a great alternative. Faster reloads reduce downtime between attack cycles, helping Laplace return to dealing damage more quickly and maintain better overall DPS during long encounters.

Best Team Compositions and Game Modes

Laplace: Ultimate Hero performs best in a standard 1-1-3 team composition, where she acts as the primary Burst III damage dealer. The team below maximizes her HP-to-ATK scaling while providing the buffs and survivability needed for long boss encounters. 

This team is built around maximizing Laplace's unique HP scaling mechanic. Rouge increases the team's Max HP while providing valuable cooldown reduction, allowing Laplace to convert the additional HP into Attack through her passive. 

Crown further amplifies the team's damage with powerful offensive buffs, while Maxwell provides excellent synergy as one of Laplace's strongest supporting partners. Helm rounds out the team with reliable healing and additional damage, helping Laplace stay active throughout longer encounters.

Team Tips

• Position Rouge in Position 2 or 4 to consistently apply her buffs.

• Activate Full Burst as often as possible to maximize Laplace's sustained damage.

• This team excels in Boss Battles, Solo Raid, Union Raid, and Missilis Tower, where Laplace has enough time to build Warm Up and Over Energy stacks.

Best Game Modes

Laplace: Ultimate Hero performs best in content where enemies survive long enough for her to fully build Warm Up and Over Energy stacks.

She is particularly effective in:

• Missilis Tower, where she fills an important Wind DPS role.

• Boss encounters with multiple hitboxes or exposed cores, allowing Pierce to deal maximum damage.

• Long PvE battles, where her HP scaling and sustained Machine Gun attacks have enough time to ramp up.

• Wind-weak content, where Elemental Damage significantly increases her effectiveness.

Her performance is less impressive in very short encounters, as she requires time to enter her strongest Machine Gun state before reaching peak damage.

Is Laplace: Ultimate Hero Worth Pulling?

Laplace: Ultimate Hero is an excellent pickup for players who need a powerful Wind DPS, offering outstanding sustained damage and strong endgame performance. While she isn't a must-pull for every account, she's a worthwhile investment if your roster lacks a reliable Wind attacker.

You Should Pull If

Consider pulling Laplace: Ultimate Hero if:

• You need a strong Wind Burst III DPS.

• You want to strengthen your Missilis Tower team.

• You skipped or don't own other top Wind damage dealers.

• You're looking for a powerful standard DPS with long-term PvE value.

You Can Skip If

You can safely skip her if:

• You already have a strong Wind team.

• You're saving for upcoming limited or collaboration banners.

• You don't currently need another sustained Burst III attacker.

Since Laplace: Ultimate Hero is a permanent standard SSR, she can also be obtained later through the Standard Recruit, Wishlist, Molds, or future selector events.

Conclusion

Laplace: Ultimate Hero is an excellent sustained Wind DPS whose unique Machine Gun transformation, Pierce attacks, and HP scaling allow her to dominate longer encounters. With the right skill investments, Harmony Cube, Overload Gear, and supporting teammates, she can become one of the most reliable damage dealers for Missilis Tower, boss battles, and other challenging PvE content. As you continue strengthening your roster, farming better gear, and developing new team compositions, OSLink's Multi-Instance feature helps multiple NIKKE accounts progress simultaneously, making resource farming, rerolls, and long-term account progression far more efficient.
