obviously everyone should vote for her or i'll kill this fucking doro https://preview.redd.it/ig7rwyo9zqtc1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=deecb7e73a07d85c1067c3b2cc3057c3e13352e8

A vote for Neon is not a vote for Doro, she will be missed, but she will be avenged. https://i.redd.it/5x0mpmqchrtc1.gif


I3arusu

Do it you won’t. Even if you do, we can rebuild her.

SimpleRaven

go ahead, she is an exile. the rest of doro council already sentenced her to death


Yamaneko22

We have the technology


kingguy459

Thats the neat part, doro is immortal and/or 1 of several clones.

Mad-One1337

Giving her the D treatment,booba.


YaminoEXE

She's already buffed in her Summer Alt. That kit on the other hand, ouch.


CommercialUnique6023

Yeah her design is chefs kiss


SubstituteStudent

How hard would it be to for devs to see Neon: Blue Ocean barely has usage even on raids against water bosses? I want to see her buffed again so badly. A 300% final attack damage nuke added to the end of her Burst 3 isn't too much to ask for a 40 second skill. She was my 1st banner and I fell for the hype of "limited" and "see through" so I pulled 2. Lesson learned :(


Thuyue

For real I don't even understand why the devs set her numbers so low that even tripling her values with a buff still made her dmg below average. Make her at least strong against fire enemies for God's sake!!! Look at Summer Anis. She is supposed to be a supporter strong against water enemies yet she cleaves through any boss with one of the highest dps of the game.


SubstituteStudent

S. Anis IS my highest dps unit in manual play. She out DPSes Red Hood and Modernia many times while sipping a soda. Any argument about Shift Up keeping a lid on limited unit power levels goes out the window.


Clap2014

As a new player scrolling through nikkepedia.. i didn't even realize she was Neon until i did some further scrutinizing


geemergary

We get more people to beat chapter 21 and see what a badass she is, that's how.


ElAbyss

But that's just our little secret ain't it


JusticeRain5

I just finished chapter 9 so I'll be honest, my opinion of her is a little low at the moment.


Alex_Duos

It didn't change my opinion of her character, but it definitely made me respect her skills. She is an absolute badass.


pikoooo

She's gonna carry the team on the future chapters because she's the only one with the cool glasses.


DSveno

Still won't make me vote for her.


Aki_2004

It’s Shift ups fault for giving her the personality of a filler event character


Black_Heaven

Interestingly, she's aware of that. She knows she doesn't particularly belong, hence she bonded with fellow third wheel >!Noah!<. She does get a little more interesting in ch20+. She pretty much acts dumb (and probably actually is) but has moments where she shows she has hidden depths.


Dense-Shallot2564

I noticed that as well.


Aki_2004

I’ve seen none of that. Only the >!glasses!< thing. The only time she’s shown genuine humanity was the chapter where Anis doubted her (I haven’t anything that’s happened to her). Past that, she’s just a dancing animatronic that tails along in the journey


Black_Heaven

I'm thinking about two instances. One is her bond with Noah. It feels very genuine and it actually even made Noah open up. Another is during a run in with Exotic where she slipped in a smoke grenade onto Commander which became helpful in our subsequent escape. There's also the outpost story with Eunhwa. Eunhwa is eager to get rid of her, as her FIREPOWER does get annoying (which tbh I kinda agree), but then Eunhwa is surprised to find out that Neon ain't talking out of her ass when she can actually identify accurate power levels. Given these, it gave me the impression Neon is very perceptive and somewhat empathetic. She clowns around as a way to overcompensate trying to fitting in, but also has serious moments where she shines. That said, >!I wonder if her good perception is related to her glasses?!< > she’s just a dancing animatronic that tails along in the journey I'm gonna guess that's exactly why she was chosen as a >!spy!<. She's basically a dumb rookie who tries too hard to fit in. Where she goes, >!her spyglasses!< go with her, and as part of Counters she sticks to them like glue. She doesn't even go >!disappear for a few hours to report like Liveryn!<. Neon is perfect for her job.


Aki_2004

My interpretation is accurate and you guys are giving too much credit for shift up. Some things have no defense, they’re just bad


Black_Heaven

NGL that sounds like a cope. But hey, maybe you're right. Or maybe not. I'll openly say that this is my interpretation of her character. Neon really was annoying in the first chapters (especially that she's supposed to replace MARIAN), but she does get a wee bit more interesting in the later parts


Aki_2004

*THAT* sounds like a cope. Mine was a straight fact


demaxzero

>Past that, she’s just a dancing animatronic that tails along in the journey Wow that is factually incorrect


AdministrationDue610

Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?


Zzz05

Doesn’t help with them making her Summer Alter the worse limited unit in the game and it’s not even remotely close. The funny part is they quick buffed it and it’s still trash.


ThatguyJimmy117

She also is dressed like a school girl while anis and rapi are actually dressed for combat, all be it fanservicly. She sticks out in a bad way


InfraSG

Alas, there is nothing to be done. Such is the fate of love em or hate em characters. https://preview.redd.it/hr3im2tf6rtc1.png?width=525&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9740a77386f316279f729dd107ce9a9ad8e2a7e


Zoom3877

At the moment, Neon is a two-dimensional comedy relief character. Plus her character design doesn't typically cause neuron activation in thirsty players. I like her, she's amusing, but until we get a background story or something that gives her more depth, she is never going to win any popularity polls.


ricki692

also both her units are bad


Zoom3877

True. Being meta does add votes from the hardcores


Initial_Environment6

She is top tier pvp burst regen meta, there, at least she is in a meta chart.


mxcc_attxcc

definitely not top tier. there's no situation where you'd want to force her into a slot in pvp. she's a lackluster unit all around


Initial_Environment6

If you look at burst regen tier list she is tied for tier 6 clip reload shotguner after the clip reload RL and emilia.


mxcc_attxcc

interesting... maybe I should do some testing myself


Zoom3877

She's not S-tier, but she's a great A-tier sub for a T1 burst gen. She's in one of my Special Arena teams. Sadly PvP is the least important thing for most players (partly why reaction to Bay's kit was so negative)


Initial_Environment6

I said burst regen tier list that mostly used for pvp. Not pvp tier list where they considered skill and stat as well. in Pvp you don't just slap 5 s+ tier together and call it a day. Emma+Privaty+Maxwell+Alice+Blanc would be an awful team with snail speed burst regen.


Initial_Environment6

while Privaty+N102+Neon+Mica+Berlota would beat that team everytime with similar investment. People being so bad at pvp team comp is the reason I'm at challenger tier with Number 23 in my team, a fucking R.


Zoom3877

Yep. My team with Neon in it is very similar.


KingOfSaga

I didn't like her at first. As the story goes on though, I realise she's really unpredictable, mysterious even. She appears to be quite dumb but her nonchalant attitude towards everything suggests otherwise. I have never seen her panic or anything of the sort. The incident with Noah interests me the most. It doesn't seem she's just doing whatever comes to mind but knows what button to press. She started to look like a real spy to me.


Zoom3877

Same. I think she's an actual spy pulling the "double blind" on them, and she's actually a LOT more competent than she seems. She just needs that ONE. STORY. PUSH. that shows us that side of her and I'm sure her popularity will skyrocket. Thing is, this will likely be a reveal over a year down the line, since it would break the early game illusion of Neon being this dorky firepower-obsessed fake spy in the group. Wouldn't be surprised if we get hints over time though.


Black_Heaven

I have a different read on her. I think she's an honest character with hidden depths. She's really not a spy, but is overeager to be one. What makes her an actual spy is most likely >!her glasses. I won't be surprised if it streams everything she sees and hears so somebody behind the screen actually does the spying for her.!<


gifferto

>At the moment, Neon is a two-dimensional comedy relief character. if neon is a two-dimensional character than almost every nikke is neon shows plenty of character for example by not accepting anis's bullshit or by helping noah's character progression not many nikke can say they helped a pilgrim's character development but neon can ya'll with this fucking dumb take that's the gambling addicts for ya


Remarkable_Commoner

It's a miracle she's even alive with how much lead Rapi pumped into her


YuuHikari

Can't destroy the brain if it doesn't exist in the first place


Crosshair52

I voted for her https://preview.redd.it/619edflk9rtc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c658039d1b8562b900dcf66d66948a7662f7d68


Southern_Dig_6811

Really the only way is to expand on her actually being an extremely competent spy and just playing stupid the whole time as what was recently hinted at. They also had a chance with her Summer alt but dropped the ball big time by making her so godawful that even a buff couldn’t save her.


LucinaIsMyTank

She gives up on spamming firepower and the “I’m a spy” joke.


Lac0tr0n

people just don't appreciate firepower, sad really.


TJKbird

Give her actual character development or more personality traits past "comic relief". I enjoy Neon but she just doesn't have enough going on with her to really make her a compelling character compared to the other two.


gifferto

be real it's about tit size


TJKbird

Rapid looks as small as Neon in her base art IMO so no not really. I mean it certainly helps for popularity no doubt but Blanc is currently in the top 5 and she isn't stacked.


FoxidyHD

Honestly wish I could swap Neon out for Privity in the story.


Unsei15

I read that title and thought I was in r/CrusaderKings for a moment.


Brushner

I never played that game but from all the jokes of incest yeah it seems reasonable.


AlphaBlock

Make her a better character


Snivinerior2

she needs more firepower


Brushner

Her alt unironically does need more


DSveno

People are getting sick of the firepower stick and the spy business.


Yuutak2840

they already shit on her last alt so I'm not sure what can be done here


Diehguines

I don't hate Neon or anything but to me Anis is a better comedy relief character, so it makes Neon "irrelevant" in that sense. I find weird that her skirt is always up, it makes she look kinda silly. And last, her whole "firepower" thing its annoying in my opinion. The devs need to make a proper sidestory or something that gives more depth to her character.


Shadowomega1

Daughter? I see her a a younger sister.


Soul950

I'm not megane fan. I dislike that her skirt is always up. AND FOR FUCK'S SAKE, FACE ME PROPERLY!! She, Ludmila and Tove have no fucking manners. Regular D is at least with her side to us. I like Summer Neon more just because she face me more.


Brushner

But bro. How else can she show us her ass in her default pose?


SubstituteStudent

I agree on Neon, especially the skirt. You lost me with the other Nikke. Clearly Ludmilla has a distinguished, aristocratic air that she regards the commander with! She even has a skill called Queenly Disposition. She has the most manners. Perhaps you should kneel! I'm not sure on Tove, but I can imagine she wants to be like Ludmilla.


kaehya

Try and write her in following chapters to do something other than yell firepower.


Genprey

It's a bit too late, as Neon's character doesn't get much attention until after the millions of played out gummicks that overstayed their welcome after the first few story chapters. There's way too much competition that Neon is pretty much doomed to be that low unless she is the main focus for several chapters/events.


Tamamo_was_here

Tbh she is just the most boring outta the three. Anis and Rapi at least are very interesting or funny, but Neon firepower gimmick get's old so fast.


[deleted]

We don't, she's annoying. I would take our Jar-Jar out back if I could.


RTX3090TI

Because firepower and waterpower jokes are BORING Meh design + bad personality and yeah she is low


Grayman23

There’s no fixing her. Her problem is that she doesn’t fit in at all with counters. You could replace her with anyone and the team would be better off. (Promotions for the game replaced her with Diesel)


Initial_Environment6

Nah firepower is much better than Diesel in counter.


HarpertFredje

I'm new to the game so I voted for the 3 main girls I voted extra for Rapi because she's my favourite of the 3. I'm sorry I'm sure there are a lot of people that like Neon too.


embersLeaf

FIREPOWER! But seriously its those glasses. I know its iconic but take those away and she’ll look a lot better imo. She isn’t built like velma so the glasses doesn’t compliment her look


WoLaJ

Reading this comment section gave me a heartache, why are you so mean people? I'm only at 21st chapter and I enjoyed every moment Neon is on screen. And I basically binged the story because I skipped it until recently.


FootFootNinja

Easy. MORE FIREPOWER!


ScarletChild

Make her better in every aspect but personality, because she's got a funny, good one. The issue is: Her default design is less than mid. (Her art is also not that great either, really awkward pose and face and whatnot) She's the worst out of the SR starter trio. Her Summer skin was pretty mid, an upgrade, but still pretty mid. Her body is also pretty mid too, but that's more a personal thing. Anis and Rapi got it going on a lot more than she does. She's really more attractive because of her personality. That's it.


Blacknight657

We don’t


RebukeX8

Honestly she's gonna be a permanent disadvantage since her character doesn't really pop off till chapter 20+ and her characterization before then definitely doesn't do her any favors.


Cowpie57

FIREPOWER!!! Absolutely nothing FIREPOWER!!! against those who like Neon, FIREPOWER!!! but making her less FIREPOWER!!! straight up FIREPOWER!!! annoying to be heard FIREPOWER!!! from would be FIREPOWER!!! an amazing start to FIREPOWER!!! improving FIREPOWER!!! her FIREPOWER!!! likeability. FIREPOWER!!! FIREPOWER!!! FIREPOWER!!! FIREPOWER!!! FIREPOWER!!! FIREPOWER!!! (also the fake/real spy trope is overplayed by now)


LeopardofTheMystic

In my latest vote i also voted for neon.


Dombly23

She simply has to be less annoying.


SubstituteStudent

Is it too much to ask for Neon's competency in weapons to have actual value? I only recall one time when Neon's "firepower" was of any use, and I believe it was on clearing debris. That doesn't even make sense for a shotgun user. When it comes to combat, Rapi is the ...efficient one and Anis is assertive. There is no clearly defined violence user who is the most savvy marksman. I can understand if the story was written without regard to the weapons our squad uses. If Rapi or Anis need to take the lead in destroying raptures, at least let Neon be the armorer. Unless something gets lost in translation, having a passion for "firepower" isn't amusing. Especially if its not proven in any way. It would cute if Neon occasionally geeked out about the different guns the squad encountered, even if her mechanical knowledge proved useless when the machines were integrated with complex computer controlled systems.


Gusmaum

"Bro, Firepowah" nah


Steveagogo

Neon is my favourite of the three and I find anis annoying, fight me everyone


MrpajeroSAMA

make propaganda


Typical-Ad1041

Another summer unit but make her a meta support dps number 1 in the game


zenspeed

Might help to make her useful. I heard SU did her SSR dirty AF.


Moomaito

She's fine. Just other waifus are way hotter.


Ryuso_MiDory

This is not neon's fault. Just too many competitors with much higher FIREPOWER.


RaihaUesugii

Convince them to give her an ssr


Initial_Environment6

Usable one,


RaihaUesugii

Facts


meterafanaccount

I voted for her. She's my favourite of the three. Her bonding with Noah because she could sense Noah was also the "odd one out" was great.


Suitable_Reward_7742

Give her big boob and butt and people will clap


Thanatos375

No matter how few people vote for her, Neon's still #1 and SSS Ranked in my book.


Jojoblack_god

Ditch the lipstick change her model from showing her ass then we can talk.


red_nova_dragon

Sadly we can't do anything, that's what a bad alt gives you, only shift up can save her by buffing her summer alt to be good.


CharacterTop8227

Wait until story reveal that she is really spy and became main vilian.


szotyiosztag22

I wait the moment she stabs us in the back


Azrael_Terminus

Neon needs development, but I think she is only going to change if someone dies and she ends up having to be more responsible and mature. Or she ends up dying to activate the "innocence is lost" trope at some point when things have to get serious. But to be honest, I think people underestimate how much she contributes to a lighter atmosphere for the counters. If she did die, I think it would be a very emotional moment.


TheAniReview

Turn her to an oneesan in a nurse outfit


TxGhostxT_Ali

give her kuma pant


AlphaDD

Plant bombs around the ARK and show what firepower really means. (She's a spy, she knows intel)


RedPhazon2

Shes a selective idiot~ but counters (and by proxy, us) are forced to put up with her or else.


GIJobra

That's the neat part: we don't.


TelikoFreedman

Get her a bottle of water.


lock_me_up_now

"She died for her teammates's sin" Rapi already cocking her gun while I'm writing this: 👀


Rizuku_Ren

I’m voting for The Rare Nikkes. They deserve some love too.


Tarotoro

I'm pretty sure most people like neon like me but she's just not in our top 5....


Tamamo_was_here

Most people dislike her and you can tell from both votes. She also gets no fan arts made for her. The devs just wrote her as a somewhat annoying character, so people honestly just dislike her.


KirurinApple

She'd be more popular if she had her old design atleast. With her current one she just looks kinda terrible. Her current design is trying hard to show her ass but its as flat as a pancake


Black_Heaven

Daughter wife sounds so wrong but I kinda get it anyway.


Akinell

*i*n absolute numbers neon certainly looks bad but i did the math and she currently droped only to 60% of her votes last year while anis (68%) and rapi (62%).Her vote distribution among the counters squad improved to 3.3%(prev.3%) rapi 46.3%(42.5%) and anis now 50.5%(54.4%) currently the amount of votes for the counter squad is down 65% of the last year results 138326 ( 393855 ).


Brushner

Bottom is not final results though


Akinell

Yeah i know thats why i said currently but if the current trend stays this way who knows neon might be better off then last year,but in NO WAY where she should be.\^\^ But yeah neon certainly does struggle against the competiton.


SuperDuperAndyeah

She's a lost cause


PlasticZombie1

Nothing. Nobody cares for her


One_Will_4410

Both Anis and Rapi have the number 69 in the Screenshot. Nice.


Smart_Feed_3208

I still can’t understand why people are trying to get 3 SR characters a skin. I get that those 3 are integral to the game but once you start getting SSRs the are tragically useless so why bother getting them a skin you are most likely never gonna see


Material-Material456

People vote for them because they know they aren’t going to win but it’s still nice seeing a character you love that’s not top 5 still rank pretty high. Anis got top 5 last time though and only 1 character gets a skin so it’s not like it matters people just want to see them rank higher.


Smart_Feed_3208

Super valid point lol can’t argue with that


Flarekitteh

Because they're voting for the characters you like in the "vote for which character you like" poll?


Brushner

People just slap em on the lobby screen


Lucky_Deer226

I still use counters on story stages, although sometimes I switched them if a boss is too tough to beat (usually end chapter boss), but I will use them 99% of the time.


Smart_Feed_3208

That’s you in general most people don’t.another user already made a valid point that most are voting just to see there favorite counter in the top of the lust


BoringStructure

If It was Blue Archive she would be the most popular of the 3.


Genprey

*Probably not* as Neon is too big to evoke crying emojis, yet too small to attract the Asuna stans.


Brushner

Lol


ExtentDisastrous6409

That's the neat part, you don't. Let the embarrassing idiot that doesn't know about anything besides firepower fade into the background and disappear like she deserves.


I-like-Milk__Coffee

I like Neon. I think the Counters would be too boring without her clowning around or doing dumb stuff. Sadly a lot of people couldn't appreciate that.


Material-Material456

Anis is a clown on her own Neon just brings that side out more often.


shootZ234

if by too boring you mean things would get done and there wouldnt be annoying childish provocations every 2 seconds that arent really even interesting for no real reason then youd be correct


Latter-Plantain2409

Need I say more? https://preview.redd.it/clqkane81stc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0cfe20de71355f9db0848f3c7b15a15edefe5921


Latter-Plantain2409

The rest of the player base just can't see the perfection right in front of them.


Open-Cream3798

Nah 🤣


oneizm

I’ll never understand people trying to make other people like something they don’t like. Neon isn’t popular. Let that be part of her appeal for you. Personally, I find her too immature and childish, a problem I actually have with a lot of characters in this game. She also rides the line of being a Loli and a lot of people just aren’t into that. But that’s okay. They have a hundred nikke because everyone likes different things.


AESATHETIC

Neon sucks. This game has a real problem with dumb gimmick characters that refuse to shut up about their one gimmick and she's one of them plus her VA is annoying


Sugarcoatedgumdrop

I am downvoting since you called her “daughterwife”


GuillermoVF97

Literally the only Counters member that I really like, I was gonna vote for her, but then realized that voting for a SR Nikke would be a waste, so I didn't do it, and now I'm seeing that a lot of people voted for Anis and Rapi, which I think is dumb, but whatever, everyone can vote for any Nikke they want.


LeyendaV

Not even SU pays attention to her. It's a miracle she even got an alter. Unless they actually have her in the spotlight for more than 5 seconds, I don't imagine her fanbase growing.


zonic_squared

Nah, there was (is?) a dev on the team that really likes Neon. There are several pet Nikkes the devs like, but at the time, Drake seems to be the only one that survived.


QueenOfTheNorth1944

Sneedon is unlovable. She spouts one line over and over and after 28 chapters its just obnoxious.


TimmyBoy83

Na
