>>107167094There are tons of "civilian" nikkes who mostly stay inside doing jobs inside the ark instead of fighting raptures on the surface. Nikkes are policewomen, pop stars, engineers, maids, CIA, underground mob bosses, all kinds of things. Exia isn't a combat nikke in general, that's an outfit she wears during a specific event to go after a bad guy at a casino (which is mostly run by other nikkes as the waitresses and attendants), but when she does assist you it's done over the radio as a hacker (she gets her brains blown out by the CIA nikkes early on but she's fine through some shenanigans)
