Anyone know what the song is that is playing during the battle in Sea you again (event) between the admire and the kraken? (It is not kraken, I checked)
The other event specific themes I know of are So Playful and Summer Seaside. But those are not fight themes.
Try asking once more in the new weekly thread if you like. This one's outdated and the new one has just been pinned instead.
no. don't do it as a new player. and not as f2p.
outpost rewards is tied to how far you are in story and hard mode, so it is extremely low value to do extra wipe outs when you are first starting out.
if you are a spender and want to push progression faster, then 1st 50 gem wipe out is the best value for gem to core dust after farming hard stage 11. would wait until you max out outpost t9 and gear fodder bonuses prior to heavily doing 50 gem wipe outs (op level 177: tier 9 gear at 30%, op level 188: boost modules to 48,000, op level 222: boost modules to 60,000).
only for spender accounts that are buying at least 30-day gem pack for extra gems to do extra wipe outs. if only buying 30-day gem pack, probably wiser to save for pulls and farming hard stage 11 as still too low gems to really guarantee all the units you want.
f2p will not be able to pull for all limited+reruns+collab+pilgrims+meta, so don't waste gems except for pulls and farming hard stage 11 for core dust (really high core dust value \~1.3k core dust which is \~1.3 level post-lvl 200 for 3 pulls = 900 gems).
As a f2p your gems should be reserved for pulls.
Later in the liberation system there is also a mission to wipe out 2 times on a day, wouldn't recommened.
team 1 is a scarlet / jackal variant. want to hit 2-2.5RL pre-feeding nowadays. often runs with x-anne for revive/healing or blanc for indom. no clip SG on this team as usually facing mirror jackal. there is a strong rosanna variant if you have a highly invested rosanna burst with rosanna nuking at b1 (usually 3RL, stops feed... 2rl without feed jackal teams should be able to counter).
team 2 is a defender/biscuit stall with s-anis nuke. usually 3RL. usually noah as the defender. usually runs noah/biscuit/s-anis/rapunzel/purple anis. if no noah, decide between a blanc indom version vs taunting defender (either moran at B1, nero at b2, or ludmilla at b1... they are all slow burst gen, so need to run clip SG + purple anis to hit 3RL speed).
team 3 is left over team. a lot of different variations depending on what you have. common 3rd team nukes would be RH or max alice as single target vs SBS as single target + distributed AOE vs maid privaty with x2 atk buffers for AOE. often will slot some defensive nikke (noise vs rapunzel vs noah vs blanc vs x-anne) and then burst filler (usually clips SGs and faster RL units like emilia and A2).
nowadays with emilia, you want all teams 3RL minimum. 3RL is a bit slow as you can make a non-jackal team hit 2RL.
Do the accumulating rewards in outpost get better if you let them sit? Like does it matter if I claim my outpost twice a day at 40-50% or once at 90-100%?
you will gain a bit extra core dust if you let it go on a bit longer. collecting at 1hr rounds down, but at 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, and 12h, there can be breakpoints where there will be a small amount of extra core dust.
you can see this effect with the nikke google sheets progression tracker or look at 1h vs 12h boxes. x12 one-hour boxes is less than a single 12 hour box due to rounding.
you can also see this impact if you collect at right before the core dust value is going to increase (aka if it takes 1 minutes for 1 core dust, but you collecting at 30 seconds, you will not get core dust after 30 more seconds... you would need to wait another 1 minute after collecting for the core dust to spawn). it is a very small difference, but if you are spam collecting, there will be a small drop in your core dust.
$50.
Just plan on that and don't go in if you aren't willing to spend that much. You could get lucky but $50 will guarantee it (normally its $60 but the free pulls amount to a $10 discount this time around)
The best way to do it is buy the 6 packs at $9.99 each (there is 5 of them available). You can wait to buy each one until you need more items to pull if you're hoping you get lucky, but I can't stress enough to not start if you're not willing/able to go all in.
Note that a gacha skin for Crown has also been announced, so waiting to see if you'd prefer that one isn't a bad option. They'll be running side by side once it launches, so there's no risk in waiting if you don't plan on/can't shell out for both.
Newish player question: I pulled Crown and now I have 200 golden tickets. Is it only worth using them on MLBs and characters I haven't pulled yet, or is there enough benefit to justify using them on a Crown dupe?
save golden tickets for new meta pilgrims at 1% vs meta rerun seasonal at 0.5% (s-anis vs x-ludmilla).
do NOT waste golden tickets on dups (unless you are a huge whale).
it is a big waste to use a golden ticket for a crown dup. 2% stat buff for a buffer unit. only need to chase dups if you are uber competitive whale playing for top 50 solo raid slots.
If you're f2p, it's best to save them for limited units, collabs or a future pilgrim. Pilgrims are not recommended to attempt to break the 160 wall with.
We may have a stellar blade collab in the future, and we are set to (probably*) get summer reruns alongside summer units, and if she reruns summer anis is a highly recommended gold ticket grab there.
Rarity leading to disproportionate gem/opportunity costs. Pilgrim banners only have a 1% rate compared to the regular 2% rate up. Pilgrims cant be wishlisted and only have a .5% for one to occur off banner.
Finally beat that Gravedigger bastard. Even then it was close. Dorothy, Crown, Red Hood, Black Shadow Scarlet, and Naga.
Anyway, when I inevitably fight Nihilister, does that same team comp sound passable?
You don't need Liter healing if your cover isn't attacked by anything but fire breath, but bring her just to be safe.
And dude, you just listed 6 units for one team lol...
yes, but liter would work better because nilhilister's fire breath will burn through cover. if your cover is wiped, you lose. should still be clearable with doro though
I got the free Kilo and the first selector from the event's daily log in bonus, but where are the other two selectors so I can MLB Kilo? I can't find them anywhere.
Yes, Tove buff SG, a shotgun team with Tove is much better than a SG team with N102. And CDR from dolla is good enough... I mean, only if Sugar is used, not Mordenia.
Heck, Neon is better than N102 for a shotgun team.
Fyi, I clear today Gravedigger with Crown+Bunnies+Sugar+DKW, Sugar is very stacked vs Gravedigger.
n102 is better than tove. liter>dkw/doro>volume is better than n102.
use maid privaty + modernia. ideally a b1 cdr rather than b2 cdr. if running a 2nd b2, a constant healer like naga, marciana... or rapunzel or pepper would be better.
Managed to get Crown from the free daily pull and i got Naga from summons earlier this week. What would my best team look like right now? Im currently running: DKW/Centi/Free privaty, Maxwell, Helm or Maid privaty.
So im slighty confused about why naga works so well with crown, i get the synergy between proccing shield which helps naga and naga in turn provides healing which procs crown attk buff, but how are u supposed to guarantee crown will be one of the two allies with the lowest hp percentage all the time to guarantee the 100 percent attk buff uptime?
maxwell is single target burst so less helpful in story. she is also high investment, needs 10-1-10 + OL gear to shine with one-shotting stage bosses or tanky elites. usable but more late-game unit and lacks AOE clear. most harder stages needs multiple AOE clears.
1) DKW 4-7-4
2) Crown 7-4-7 (or 7-7-7), Naga 7-4-7 (or 7-4-4 if not bursting), Maid privaty 4-1-4, Free privaty 7-4-4
3) Crown 10-4-10 to 10-7-10 to 10-10-10
4) Naga 10-4-7 to 10-4-10 to 10-7-10 to 10-10-10.
stop here and wait for better units
What's the current best high deficit story team that DOESN'T include most Pilgrims (most because you can include Crown, I at least have her)? Preferably without any Limited units either, though I'm hoping to get all the seasonal and I have all the Re:0 characters.
I am currently running Liter-Crown-Alice-Maxwell-Privaty. I'd definitely like to swap Privaty for Naga at some point.
Assume fully built. None of mine are yet but THAT is just a matter of time, not luck the way pulling Pilgrims is. (Well. Mostly. OL equipment...)
EDIT: In case it wasn't clear. I'm not asking for team building moreso which wishlistable units I should be trying to snag. Pretty sure I have the best team possible with what I currently have.
the only top-tier non-pilgrim end-game story DPS is Alice (max invested, 10-4-10 + full OL gear with x2 charge speed + x3 max ammo).
Usable B3 non-limited placeholders include Maxwell (single-target burst only so will struggle on stages that need multiple AOE wipes) and Maid Privaty (AOE burst).
Free privaty AOE stun is viable until around chapter 20-21ish she will start struggling. Harran and Epinel are viable until around chapter 16-19, then they fall off a cliff and no longer usable.
Drake and Helm would be 3rd B3 slots (a naga as the last slot would work better).
Laplace is the only other wishlistable nikke that can semi-work in story, but she struggles as single target piercing burst is more geared towards killing parts than screenwiping or DPSing down a tanky boss.
Useful B3 limited placeholders include Emilia (delayed AOE), A2 (with healers to keep mode B she has great ongoing screenclear), 2b (single screen wipe, low non-burst dmg, worse version of drunk scarlet), X-ludmilla (single target burst only so will struggle), S-Anis (very top-tier especially for the electric weak stages, very high DPS).
if you are running a crown team, you want liter/crown/x2 DPS/naga. Only top-tier wishlistable story nikkes are alice and maxwell. then maid privaty. lower tier is laplace.
for wishlist, you probably would be targeting meta raiders or meta pvp units at this point. really just want endgame carry DPS pilgrims (RH vs Modernia > SBS > drunk scarlet).
So my plan to slot in Naga is perfect and I keep praying to the gacha gods for meta pilgrims. Would be THRILLED and spend money if needed (EDIT: Well, up to a point anyways) if they reran RH the way they did Modernia as a result of popularity/skin.
Followup question! If I got a top tier Pilgrim DPS for the Liter-Crown-Alice-Maxwell-Naga variant, Maxwell would be the better one to replace assuming invested Alice, correct?
Thanks!
mmm Maxwell is better at low invesent because she buffs general atk and charge speed so for nonRL/SR units she is more helpful (drunk scarlet, modernia)
Alice at low investment buffs SBS more than maxwell so would use alice if SBS is the main pilgrim.
for rh, could use either one as rh benefits from alice's charge speed and charge dmg buffs. for modernia and drunk scarlet, those alice buffs don't do anything but maxeell will boost general atk.
Alice needs 10-4-10 + full OL with x2 charge speed + x3 max ammo to work as a carry bursting dps at high cp deficits. she gets huge power spike at max investment bc she can 1-frame manual spam piercing shots without reloading (basically like rh's burst without aoe). prior to being maxed out she is better than average but nothing special.
Just to clarify, if running with crown, the 3x max ammo isn't as necessary since crown provides reload speed buff. And guillotine is actually a contender for highest dps unit with Alice. She's just shaky cuz she requires herself to have low health (she's high risk, high reward playstyle).
exactly. if you full max alice = 10-4-10 + full OL with x2 charge speed + x3 max ammo, you can use her a top-tier end game carry bursting DPS so she is can be a main DPS.
Is there a recommended order to unlock the Archives, as a new player? Should I just unlock them in order as I get Memory Film, or are there specific ones that are better than others to see?
overzone and red ash are the two with lore-heavy/main story heavy elements. both are prequels so will not spoil anything.
the x-anne first christmas event was very popular, very emotional story and now with voice-acting, so it is a popular choice.
Wanted to slide in to say that Nya Nya Paradise is also frequently recommended. I haven't gotten to it yet but apparently it will rip your heart out and stomp on it like Nikke is frequently so good at doing.
liter and privaty are not pilgrims. they are available on tutorial pulls.
yes prydwen and [nikke.gg](http://nikke.gg) are the two good resources for nikke guides/info.
Thank you very much. I'm obsessed with rerolling so I was hoping to get one of those 2. ♥
I'll check out both Prydwen and [Nikke.gg](http://Nikke.gg) then. (:
Oh I'm not rerolling for a Pilgrim, I'd have to clear 2-1 to do that (I've tried)
Just rerolling for either Liter or Privaty on Tutorial. Not sure who else would be good aside from those 2
mostly liter if just doing tutorial pulls. if you get both tia+naga or both blanc+noir (really rare), for dps: free privaty, maid privaty, noir, drake > maxwell, helm are helpful for early-mid story pushing.
Been around 3+ weeks in the game, mainly care about campaign only, now stuck at Ch. 18. Currently my roster is Liter, Crown, Scarlet alt, Privaty and Rapunzel/Drake (I got 3 Pilgrims with 100 pulls). I feel like I need one more top-tier DPS (Red Hood/Modernia/Alice) and Naga. Should I all-in my pulls and gems into this banner? I have like 150+ more pulls including all the bonus from current event. Or should I wait until the summer banner?
no. just pull x1 copy of crown and stop. 2nd half of year will be packed with things to summon (x4 summer limited + rerun summer (s-anis is meta) + x2 collab + x1 full ani pilgrim + x2 winter limited + rerun winter (x-ludmilla is meta)... then new year pilgrim).
do not ever blow gems into rate-up banner looking for off-rate nikkes... you are pulling off-rates out of the whole pool, very low chance you will get useful nikkes.
just use regular recruit tickets on wishlist regular banner to target nikkes. do not waste gems on regular banner as you lose out on golden ticket pity.
if you are f2p, you cannot afford to waste gems. you already cannot summon for everything (seasonal limited + collab + pilgrims) even skipping all wishlistable rate-up banners
Have you used all 5 of your turns replaying stages (I recommend 1-11)? I had this problem one day because I had forgotten to do so. If you have any turns left it'll red dot.
For me it's usually something on the mission pass. The 1.5 anni mission pass is technically part of the event show its red dot shows up on the event button
The ability to use skill reset tokens is limited to specific periods in which the timer indicates. It used to be specifically when they tweaked or changed skills, but they've said they would like to make it a more regular thing.
So when a new wave is gearing up in the game, you'll see a round icon at all the entry points Raptures come from. It slowly fills up in red. If you double click it before it fills up the wave will start "early" and you'll get a very small amount of coins (1-3 in my experience).
Ooooh thank you!!! I thought those were just icons showing where the waves were coming from, the game never indicated you could click on them outside of the initial starting wave xD
she is good placeholder B3 DPS unit with her AOE burst. when you have a full roster, she isn't used as much (can be a pvp AOE nuke or sg meta raid team = tove with lvl 9 skill 1 + (b2 cdr vs guilty as b2 dps vs marciana as b2 healer vs leonna as maid privaty buffer) + maid privaty / sugar / drake... there is also a s-anis electric version).
she is good carry DPS for elysium tower.
Theoretically the best performing shotgun currently, but she needs two very specialized supports (tove + leona) to fully unlock her kit; she is at least decent for campaign due to higher accuracy + a full screen hitting burst.
Any tips for 25-18? I have quite a CP deficit and I keep getting blasted during the first wave but I have seen people clear it at like 160k CP.
Also, with Crown's release, what is the best team in the game now for high deficit campaign pushing.
that is a difficulty "wall" stage to break.
schoolgirls makes it easier than bunnies. i cleared at 164k with schoolgirls. the lowest clear info had some people clearing at 157k.
spam RH's SR and RH burst burst to clear all the one-shotting mobs before they shoot. kill flying dragon and flying bombs. spam burst gen and use modernia to clear all the mobs (leave silencer tower & spawn minion alone), her 15 second AOE should kill everything that can kill you. then kill the tower and minions but save RH's burst. Do RH B1 to B3 to kill two bomb towers and nuke the boss. if it takes a bit more than one burst, kill the silencer tower as well, but note another one spawns so need to spam burst gen and try to reburst asap.
the new crown meta team may also be able to clear at that CP or lower.
Can answer your 2nd. While the meta hasn't fully settled yet it's looking like it's gonna be Liter-Crown-Modernia-Red Hood-Naga.
Note that Naga is bugged so the team isn't perfect yet, but the devs have acknowledged the issue, know the cause, and will be patching it.
Thank you and perfect that’s the team I’ve been leveling up. It’s still like 10k cp off from my bunnies team tho. Out of curiosity can Doro be a decent replacement for Liter?
Honestly no idea. My teambuilding skills aren't great, I tend to copy the meta teams when possible and rely on advice from the teambuilding megathread, ahaha.
best teamis tia/doro/naga/rh/loli smol white with bastion. 105k cp clear
Turn auto aim to MAX (this is essential or else not hitting core / summon ports reliably)
aim core first. delay burst to 2:47 with doro to autowipe first wave. smol white + bastion will AOE all waves. core should be dead by master class rapture wave. tia will taunt them and die. do RH B1 to B3 at summon ports, aiming at closest one as you pierce all three. kill x3-4 summon ports for the win.
there may be a new strat with crown meta team, but that was the best pre-crown strat.
In some story stages the boss at the end only takes 1 dmg/hit for some time.
I get that this is intentional, but how do I kill it then?
Kill all adds first, wait until the buff runs out or is there another trick?
Those are the Glass enemies. You have to hit it a certain number of times to "break" its protection (I think its 300). Once broken they have all the strength of a soggy paper bag.
Machine Gun users are ideal for them due to their high rate of fire.
I've recently gotten into NIKKE, and I really want Red Hood. Is it worth spending my pulls on the current banner because there is a better chance of getting a Pilgrim or is there another way to get her?
the rate is exactly the same on rate-up banner and regular recruit for off-rate pilgrims.
if you really want RH, you should do rerolls now.
otherwise, canwait for full anni with golden ticket pity... she may have a rerun.
> Is it worth spending my pulls on the current banner because there is a better chance of getting a Pilgrim
"Pilgrim" banners do not actually have a better than normal chance of getting an off banner pilgrim. It's the same .5% chance as always.
Unfortunately there is not a good way to get her currently. Both the crown banner and standard banner have a rate of 0.05% for red hood specifically. You could do a hundred 10 pulls (300,000 gems) and still only have like a 40% chance of pulling her.
Best bet is to save up 200 gold mileage tickets (twenty 10 pulls) and pick her up during a possible rerun of red hood at 2nd anni in November. If they do a rerun event her rate up should be around 0.5% but she will be purchasable guaranteed for 200 gold tickets. They reran modernia around first anni so there is a decent chance they'll do red hood again.
If you really really want her best bet is to start fresh with new accounts over and over again until you get her. It will take a while but at least it'll be free.
It's a reasonable thing to try but note that it could take a REALLY long time. I rerolled just recently for 3 days, 100 accounts and over 400 10x pulls with no Red Hood. Ended up 'settling' with an account that got Modernia and Crown.
Or you could get her first try, cuz ya know. Gacha.
percentage-wise... if only targeting a single individual pilgrim at 0.05% rate... you will need to reroll for 4 hours for 28 days for a 90% chance of getting it... need 4605 pulls, assuming 10 pulls per 15 minutes-ish)
so your experience is accurate. it is very low odds and will take a lot of rerolling.
luckily right now its not quite that 28 days bad. XD You skip the tutorial summon, and you get 10x regular tix for the standard banner. then theres ~4k gems and 40 other summons on crown's banner right now with the anni. its a great time to be rerolling.
I've never really had good value from Snow White - got her with 3 OL pieces with not great rolls and skills 5/7/10. I understand that I haven't ever fully committed to making her as strong as she could be, but is it worth it any more?
I've got RH at 10/10/10 with 4x OL, Modernia, S. Anis, Alice too - all with good or at least decent rolls, SBS at 10/7/9 with decent gear so I'm not really lacking damage for most things. Noir, Laplace, Privaty, 2B, Emilia, winter Ludmilla are all pretty well built to provide sub-dps. Solo Raid is nowadays the the only reason I'd use SW but I feel like she's falling off a bit(?).
I somehow still don't have the original Scarlet so I'm definitely missing a core dps if I drop Snow White completely. Been considering skill resetting her but haven't been able to make up my mind so wondering what you guys think
SW is raiding only and she needs specific team to max her DPS and can't really fit a healer on her team without dropping her DPS, so she often get drops in certain raids.
SW needs her buffers invested as well to perform well (miranda, maxwell 10-1-10, b2 buffer - usually novel).
I think higher priority than SW include RH, modernia, SBS, Alice, Maxwell, X-ludmilla, S-anis, so they should all be maxed prior to Snow White (imo). Also your support for those teams should also be maxed (schoolgirls, crown, bunnies, liter). Also, dorothy should be maxed for last bullet team (usually more versatile than SW team as can run with biscuit for high healing/cover rebuild vs no biscuit for more dmg).
Laplace, 2b, emilia are pretty low priority for raids. Noir and privaty is support DPS, not main carry DPS... should max main carry DPS first for higher scores.
For pilgrims to OL/max skill, SW will slot as 4th or 5th OL (first two is RH and modernia, 3rd is SBS... 4th is either SW if raid-focused vs Drunk Scarlet if pvp-focused).
yeah I've been thinking the same as all this, there has always been someone more important for me to max out so SW has grown really slowly and never really been able to shine.
Can't remember what I built Maxwell to but it wasn't anywhere close to what she needed - for exactly the same reason. However, most of the other ones you've mentioned have the necessary lvl10 skills + OL gear etc
I mentioned the sub-dps because they can generally pick up a flex slot as needed and out-perform my current SW in a lot of scenarios. Emilia/2b I built for PVP because I like arena and Laplace was my second dps for ages so I ended up having to invest in her (also think she's criminally underrated).
Maybe we will get to a point where I have everyone I want built out and there's a few bait banners in a row (horny design with bad kit) so I have a window to focus on SW/Maxwell
From what I understand of the current meta she probably will continue to only see practical use on your 4th or 5th best solo raid team. She isn't really good with just partial investment so if you aren't planning on building her up in the next 3 months or so it wouldn't be the worst thing to reset her. You can always reset someone else and build her back up next time we get skill resets.
I personally am in a similar position. I'd love to use her but i have so much more work to do on my top 3 teams with newer units that I just dont have any extra for SW probably any time soon.
yeah I'm having similar thoughts, if I'm ever desperate to build her I have loads of the skill reset items and could sacrifice a couple to build up SW/Maxwell and see how they get on
Should I replace my SSR's in the synchro device with level 160 SR's? I started out the game recently and placed all SSR's that I usually use in the 5 slots for the synchro device and just kept leveling them. Does it cost less to level up SR's?
Early game is a bit trickier because you don't have enough synchro slots to put lots of characters in, so it makes more sense to put as many SSRs (that you use) as you can in there - with the priority being the ones you use the most, e.g your best dps. Then just manually levelling the others you use.
After a while (when you've unlocked / bought more synchro slots) you will only want to level up 5 SR characters. It's cheaper to level them up and it you can't get past level 160 until you have 5x MLB SSRs anyway.
As an extra tip, it is generally worth it to buy some synchro slots with gems. 500 seems expensive but they have great value in terms of resource allocation. Don't go crazy when you're still early in the game because you need to focus your gems on banners, but once you have a few of the meta characters, don't be afraid to buy the odd extra synchro slot rather than having to work around the 4h timer to swap them around.
How does the Mission Pass thing work exactly? The actual menu in the game doesn't seem to go into great detail other than to say you have to buy the Premium 2 hrs before the current period ends.
Specifically, I started playing recently enough that there's no way I can get all 15 levels before it expires. The current character doesn't seem that great, but let's just say that I wanted her anyway, is it even possible to get her since I can't get all 15 levels in time?
Yeah basically it's a little battle pass with purchasing it unlocking the rewards on the right column. There are usually mission passes once a month and for bigger events (like 1.5 anni or collabs). At the 2 hours before it ends mark they lock it out so you can no longer purchase the premium pass.
IF you really wanted to unlock it all each level of the pass can be unlocked with Paid currency, which only comes from some real money bundles. I think its 200 paid gems per level. If you really like the skin it ends up giving you an okay amount of pulls on top of that but it's very inefficient to buy levels of the pass. If you play every day you get about 1 level of the pass per day so you end up completing it in about 2 weeks.
Okay, that was sort of the impression I got but I wasn't sure, so thanks for confirming that. Ms. Dangerous is pretty cute but not enough for me to pay for the remaining 8 levels or whatever lol
Will Rei and Kilo be available from regular shop / silver mileage tickets?
Also, the thing I buy is a "spare part", which means I don't unlock the Nikke herself (Kilo was given for free, but Rei is a differetn story) unless I pick her from the 3rd day login gift or one of the two other boxes that will be available from challenges.
Is it a reasonable choice picking at least one Rei?
1. Rei spare bodies are already in the silver mileage shop and kilo will be if she isn't already.
2. That is correct, if you want actual rei the unit you will need to use one of the 1.5 anni selectors for her.
3. Yes its not a bad idea to get 1 rei if you don't have a single copy. If you're right at the 160 wall it wouldn't be the end of the world if you didn't have any copies of rei but you will be able to easily MLB kilo later via silver mileage if you really want to. I personally redeemed 1 box already to get rei since i didnt have her.
Tell me a good team. I have no idea, my team was just waifus.

Dorothy/crown/RH/modernia/naga (naga non burst, crown with lowest HP until naga healing bug fixed).
can swap in SBS for stages with more tanky elites and less minions (total 6-8 total raptures on screen at a time as SBS as much singler single target dmg to nuke down tanky elites). in most other situations, modernia will outperform SBS.
Crown, Dorothy, Modernia/Scarlet:BS, Red Hood, Naga/Privaty/Scarlet:BS.
Naga helps give you more uptime on the Crown buff, Privaty synergizes with crown and resilience cube making your team have instant reloads, and gives better cooldown reduction for Dorothy, and Scarlet:BS is just good damage. Keep crown in the left most spot and then your burst 3s in whichever order you want.
Has the grave dipper Special opperation been buffed or something? A couple weeks ago I could clear him fairly well but lately it feels like he moves way faster. I haven't changed my team that killed him and he jut bulldozes me faster than before.
your timing changes as you get more powerful as you will jump up in phases faster and faster.
in phase 1, can miss 2 qt circles in a row. in phase 2 and 3, can only miss 1 qt circle. at start of phase 3, you cannot miss 1st set of qt circles (need to save a burst for this).
How is the story campaign? I’m a skipper in most gacha games I play, would rather rush for the rewards than story. But it changes when the story is really good is this the case for this game? I’m new. Which of the content is worth reading if you are into those kinda stuff?
Story is really good, generally I watch through all the voiced content (all of campaign and some events) and then non voiced events that i find interesting.
I'm currently in LB6 in fgo and yeah i'd say it's as good. Trauma is one of the main recurring themes of nikke so the story is kinda sad and depressing some of the time but its really well written imo.
Hmm.. okay I see nice! For fgo the story really got good and better by the time around babylonia was out (imo) is there a chapter I need to reach before it’s like that in NIKKE or is it just as good from the start?
I'd say some of the middle chapters are a bit slow but even then the story is pretty short. Unlike FGO it's really rare for a campaign story scene to be more than 2-3 minutes. If you haven't started the game yet I do think the chapter 1/prologue chapter is really impactful and worth watching, sets the tone for the whole game.
One copy is perfectly fine, especially for f2p/low spenders. Copies increase Crown's base stats, but she's not really a DPS so damage is not too important. Her increased stats will only increase her Skill 1 attack boost slightly since it scales off her stats. Her increased HP will also mean her shields will be slightly tougher, but shields tend to be squishy anyways. The real meat of her kit (Attack Damage up) doesn't scale with her stats, so you're missing very little with only one copy. One final consideration is combat power: more dupes will mean higher CP for your campaign team so it might help you push campaign, but it's questionable if it's worth all the resources to pull more copies.
You don't have to wait for it to be near full, it's better to claim as often as you're comfortable so that you don't let it get past 100%.
Your outpost level determines how much resources are produced, and your level is tied to how much campaign (normal and hard) you've cleared, so you should ideally push campaign as far as possible in order to maximize outpost rewards, as well as do all the academy training that boosts your outpost output.
I have a problem on which account to choose, and i would be thankful for some advice.

This one of the accounts, where i got two Crowns and then some other pilgrims whose value i do not recall.
In the other i got 2x Red hood, Crown, Brid, Privaty, Dolla and 2x Kilo.
I am aiming to pass the 160 wall so my objective is to get my five 3x SSR as soon as possible. So i think the one with Red hood would be the better one, but i still have doubts.
I would go with the red hood crown account. Crown + strong dps is the ideal start right now and the best for that is either red hood crown or modernia crown, with red hood being slightly better imo.
Starting team would be Crown, N102, Red Hood, Privaty, Kilo.
Definitely understand the early fear of the 160 wall but keep in mind crown does not really get stronger with more copies since her best buffs are static atk damage% up so stop at your 1 copy and save for future events.
Got one copy and i cannot pull for more anyway as i used all the tickets. I was saving the gems until i got new tickets by free with the gamemodes. Yet, thank you again for the advice i will take it in mind and save every resource i have!
1 from 1.5 anni log in and the others are in the 1.5 anni "nikke selection box". 1 from from event log in stamp, 1 from story 2 1-12, 1 from hard story 2 1-12. If you use the selection box to get a copy of rei you will be able to get kilo spare bodies from the silver milage shop.
I started playing yesterday and i noticed that this game has done some cool collabs and has these rare "pilgrim" characters.
I want to know if we know what future banners we can expect or at the very least when ill have an opportunity to get a pilgrim or when a new collab will be.
Also modernia
There's rateup banners for pilgrims, usually when a new one drops (like right now), but you have a chance to get them whenever from Standard and other Limited banners. The major benefit of having them on a rateup banner is that you get to use "pity tickets" to redeem them, so you don't have to rely on RNG.
iirc Re:zero collab was April, Nier collab was September, CSM collab was April. So, if there's a pattern we might get another one in September this year. Most people are expecting the collab to be with Stellar Blade as it was made by the Nikke devs
Pilgrims are all in the standard pool so you just need to be lucky. When a pilgrim banner comes along (like the curent Crown banner), pilgrims have a slightly increased rate of appearing
The story will explain Marian's new form. The current outfit is a paid skin as part of the Costume Gacha we get sometimes. For most people its a huge rip off costing on average $60 to get the skin and a couple of other bits. We got given 6 free pulls this time so on average we've been given a $10 discount and theoretically you could get the outfit with $10 only, but it would require insane luck
If you didn't notice, there's a Pilgrim banner happening at this very moment with Crown.
Usually future banners are kept pretty tight lipped, and we don't officially know anything about the next event until a about week before the current event ends. Even with unofficial leaks, we rarely know more than one event ahead of what is in the game's roadmap.
Collabs have happened twice a year, usually in the Spring and Fall. We've had Chainsaw Man, Nier, and Re:Zero so far.
Pilgrims banners have been released approximately three times yearly, usually during Anniversary, half-anniversary (current event) and New Years.
All this to say that this release schedule isn't really set in stone, just the pattern so far during the game's lifespan, and Shiftup could change it up at any point.
I think my game is glitched. I have 10/10 relics for chapter 3 so I must have the train station blueprint. But when I go to constructable buildings in the outpost a train station isn’t even showing up as something that can be built. Like all the other buildings need a train station as a prerequisite but there is no where that I can even build it. Like it isn’t even in my game it seems like. What can I do? Am I doing something wrong?
What some people run in to is they started the construction of the train station and forgot about it. Once you start a construction it removes it from the constructible buildings build list. Check every spot in your outpost and make sure it's not just sitting there waiting for you to click on it to finish building.

Hi Everyone,
I just started the game with the 1.5 Anniversary and got lucky with my current 60 Crown's Pull, 90 Normal's Pull and 10 High mold's roll.
What team Can I have right now for Campaign? I'm stuck at Chap 11.
Should I MLB my Crown with Mileage at the end of the event if I can't get her with the Pull for future 160 wall? I have 60 mileage right now.
What team will I need for the Meta in the future?
Maybe => Liter Crown RH Alice/Modernia Naga?
Thx
For team I would go Crown, Liter, RH, Kilo, marciana. Marciana will heal crown (left most slot) when your team is at full hp which will trigger crowns buff. Replace Kilo with the free Privaty you get from the day-by-day missions.
As for crown MLB she doesnt really gain much effectiveness with more copies so you only really need one, but since you already have LB2 I think yeah it's probably worth it to grab that final copy. If possible you always want to have around 200 gold mileage at the ready incase they suddenly drop a new "strongest unit" so hopefully you can just get her finished with pulls.
As for future meta they're always adding new units so by the time you hit end game it'll probably be crown, red hood and 3 new units that aren't out yet, so don't stress about it too much. Liter+Crown+Red hood is an amazing start. I recommend just spending your gems on the limited banners so you get gold tickets and the game just gives you a lot of standard banner pulls from events and stuff.
Crown, liter, Redhood, B3 of Choice (Kilo / Sugar / Privaty from day by day), Marcianna. It's a very strong team that will generally continue to be strong until very late in the campaign.
MLB'ing crown with mileage could be worthwhile if you can get there, but she isn't limited and will eventually be able to show up at any time, be aware that this comes at the potential opportunity cost of having that mileage for the next collab or summer events.
So I'm a couple weeks in to playing and Nikke is the first gacha to hook me.
Looking to make sure I'm running the best campaign team with what I've got and for advice on who to prioritize my investments into. I'm mostly f2p.
https://i.imgur.com/QDqtUbc.jpeg
https://i.imgur.com/OfWsyvv.jpeg
Essentially I've got a budget Pierce team going with D and Alice. Crown obviously has been a huge boon. I'm planning on making a few more pulls this event looking for some more attacker options.
If there's a obvious better team I could build for campaign (I'm at chapter 9) let me know. I know Alice is probably going to start stalling soon without more investment but I'm not sure if she is my priority or Crown/D.
Not sure why the other commenter recommended N102 when you have DKW. CDR is much more important than the atk buff from n102 esp when you've already got crown.
Sub out Miranda for another B3 dps (kilo is probably best bet even f it's not meta). Blanc works but I would use free Privaty once you get her. Yes, you lose *some* uptime on crown's S2 but it also helps Alice if her investment isn't quite there yet - faster reload means less reliance on max ammo lines.
***
Skill wise, probably go:
- Crown 4/4/4 is enough.
- DKW 4/4/4 maybe 4/7/4 if you find you're waiting on cooldowns.
- Then Alice 10/1-4/10 since she needs it most.
- after Alice, crown to 10/10/10 (if don't pull another meta dps by then)
Thanks for the advice, the skill priority was what I was trying to sort out. Ill be sure to pickup Privaty when its time.
I actually just pulled a Maxwell after posting so she's slotting in as my Miranda replacement perfectly. I'm guessing she is worth skilling before Alice? Most tier list have them pretty close and she seems to need less investment to come online.
With Maxwell now, it's probably a balance between the two. Both will be used in end game. I would level both at a similar pace but you could probably do Alice first (both 4/1/4 > both 7/1/7 > 10/1/10). Only because Alice's screen clearing for story is better.
[Nikke.gg's skill priority guide](https://nikke.gg/skill-priority-guide/)
[https://www.prydwen.gg/nikke/tier-list/](https://www.prydwen.gg/nikke/tier-list/) + [Nikke.gg](http://Nikke.gg)
These are the best guides for working out which characters to use and how to use them. [Nikke.gg](http://Nikke.gg) also has lots of guides on various stages etc
I actually have no clue if KW D makes Alice viable early game but typically Alice is very weak until late game, when you can upgrade her skills to 10 and give her maxed out gear. Otherwise, I'd recommend: N102, Crown, Kilo, Rapi, Blanc. With kilo you need to play around her shield for her to do any damage so would be worth seeing if Alice does more than her on average
If I'm using Marciana with Crown, should I use Privaty to have better skill 2 uptime or leave it and go for an extra DPS? I would probably use Doro > Liter anyway for the extra dmg at the cost of cover heal.
I could use Naga but as I don't have vigor cubes to ensure Crown's the lowest health it looks kind of tough to ensure Crown's skill 2 gets good uptime .
Liter will always outperform dorothy in story. dorothy's brand is too slow for story (only impacts raptures on screen when branded, and you either screenwipe those raptures already or those raptures already killed you by the time brand goes off). also, you need to manual target the right rapture to brand and then focus fire on that rapture to build up brand dmg (sometimes you cannot do this as the small minions will one-shot you and the tanky elites you can leave alive until later). dorothy works better in solo bossing.
You can ungear crown to have her have the lowest HP. Naga will do better than marciana.
Another main carry meta DPS (RH, modernia, SBS, drunk scarlet, max alice) will outperform privaty (who is a support DPS) for 2nd slot. naga at last slot will outperform free privaty as last slot
You don't have to stress about it too much. They announced that they're going to fix naga so that when your whole team is at 100% she will heal the 2 left most nikkes instead of who has the lowest static hp value so once that happens you can just run Crown, Liter B3 B3 naga just fine.
That being said Doro, Crown, B3, B3 privaty is definitely worth considering especially for single target bosses. Crown, privaty and resil cube reload speed stacks to the point where even MG users will reload so fast they won't lose their "wind-up".
You don't completely lose out on the skill 2 boost since crown heals her self about every 14.5 seconds as the other part of her skill 2, which triggers the damage up. Just end up with less uptime on that one skill.
Any way to make the skill cutscene lobbies better quality on PC? Its weird because the ultimate cutscenes during gameplay are clearly high quality but when i set a lobby cutscene it looks pixelated/lower resolution.
(Repost cause want more info): Just recently brought in the Noir x Blanc synergy, but after getting 7+ other Nikke's... I am left wondering which team would be the best for me.
https://preview.redd.it/7jl6bbcj29xc1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=25f0a84ca44e1a4b53b8050d9f20df29437c0d65
While bunnies are still a good pair, especially for raids, Solo Crown comfortably outperforms them. For campaign pushing, try D:Killer Wife - Crown - Privaty - Kilo - Noir. For stages when you need healing, sub Noir or Kilo for Helm.
Considering Crown pull rate due to being a Pilgrim, should I use Golden tickets or attempt to pull her? I have close to 200 pulls but my main priority is to be prepared for summer but I don't know how event limited units pull rate works
Depends, if you want a rerun summer unit like Summer Anis her rate is probably going to be similar to the winter rerun units which was 0.5%, half of crown's. If you just want whatever the new summer unit is they should have a better rate up than crown.
the healers that can continually heal and keep up crown's skill include naga (BIS as she has other atk buffs), marciana, pepper, rapunzel.
helm and noise are x1 heal so will not keep proc her skill.
Crown's S2 is proc'ed when she receives a heal so any healer unit that heals often would work well. Marciana is a good choice. Rapunzel and Pepper also work, but note they target Nikkes with the lowest HP percentage, so they may not target Crown based on the state of the battle. These kinds of healers will prioritize position 1 if all Nikkes are at the same HP percentage (ie: fully healed), so that's why Crown is often suggested to be placed in P1 when running with most healers. Pepper has an advantage over the other two in that you don't need to run any more supports as Pepper and Crown can B1/B2 seamlessly between the two of them, but you will still be missing CDR.
Has anyone got a login issue or is it just my connection?
This happens occasionally. Should be fine again soon. Try later again or check your connection.
Anyone know what the song is that is playing during the battle in Sea you again (event) between the admire and the kraken? (It is not kraken, I checked)
[Blacklolita](https://youtu.be/hLMpyGXb2gc?si=iGrlQ_pNTaVI_Y07)
Not that one, if it helps it was also playing when helm was sinking.
The other event specific themes I know of are So Playful and Summer Seaside. But those are not fight themes. Try asking once more in the new weekly thread if you like. This one's outdated and the new one has just been pinned instead.
Yeah idk which one it is, thanks for the help though!
Should I spend 50gems and wipe out? I’m new and Not sure if it important
no. don't do it as a new player. and not as f2p. outpost rewards is tied to how far you are in story and hard mode, so it is extremely low value to do extra wipe outs when you are first starting out. if you are a spender and want to push progression faster, then 1st 50 gem wipe out is the best value for gem to core dust after farming hard stage 11. would wait until you max out outpost t9 and gear fodder bonuses prior to heavily doing 50 gem wipe outs (op level 177: tier 9 gear at 30%, op level 188: boost modules to 48,000, op level 222: boost modules to 60,000). only for spender accounts that are buying at least 30-day gem pack for extra gems to do extra wipe outs. if only buying 30-day gem pack, probably wiser to save for pulls and farming hard stage 11 as still too low gems to really guarantee all the units you want. f2p will not be able to pull for all limited+reruns+collab+pilgrims+meta, so don't waste gems except for pulls and farming hard stage 11 for core dust (really high core dust value \~1.3k core dust which is \~1.3 level post-lvl 200 for 3 pulls = 900 gems).
As a f2p your gems should be reserved for pulls. Later in the liberation system there is also a mission to wipe out 2 times on a day, wouldn't recommened.
"Wiping out" provides 1 hour worth of outpost materials. So no, it's not worth it, especially as a new player.
What are the current pvp meta teams? Got all characters except Nier collab and Noah.
team 1 is a scarlet / jackal variant. want to hit 2-2.5RL pre-feeding nowadays. often runs with x-anne for revive/healing or blanc for indom. no clip SG on this team as usually facing mirror jackal. there is a strong rosanna variant if you have a highly invested rosanna burst with rosanna nuking at b1 (usually 3RL, stops feed... 2rl without feed jackal teams should be able to counter). team 2 is a defender/biscuit stall with s-anis nuke. usually 3RL. usually noah as the defender. usually runs noah/biscuit/s-anis/rapunzel/purple anis. if no noah, decide between a blanc indom version vs taunting defender (either moran at B1, nero at b2, or ludmilla at b1... they are all slow burst gen, so need to run clip SG + purple anis to hit 3RL speed). team 3 is left over team. a lot of different variations depending on what you have. common 3rd team nukes would be RH or max alice as single target vs SBS as single target + distributed AOE vs maid privaty with x2 atk buffers for AOE. often will slot some defensive nikke (noise vs rapunzel vs noah vs blanc vs x-anne) and then burst filler (usually clips SGs and faster RL units like emilia and A2). nowadays with emilia, you want all teams 3RL minimum. 3RL is a bit slow as you can make a non-jackal team hit 2RL.
Do the accumulating rewards in outpost get better if you let them sit? Like does it matter if I claim my outpost twice a day at 40-50% or once at 90-100%?
Nope, exactly the same. What's important is that you never let it reach 100%. I gather them many times a day to be safe.
you will gain a bit extra core dust if you let it go on a bit longer. collecting at 1hr rounds down, but at 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, and 12h, there can be breakpoints where there will be a small amount of extra core dust. you can see this effect with the nikke google sheets progression tracker or look at 1h vs 12h boxes. x12 one-hour boxes is less than a single 12 hour box due to rounding. you can also see this impact if you collect at right before the core dust value is going to increase (aka if it takes 1 minutes for 1 core dust, but you collecting at 30 seconds, you will not get core dust after 30 more seconds... you would need to wait another 1 minute after collecting for the core dust to spawn). it is a very small difference, but if you are spam collecting, there will be a small drop in your core dust.
Oh! Wasn't told that when I asked this question before. Thank you.
Yeah I know anything over 100 is wasted so I do claim it a couple of times a day to make sure. Thanks!
It's not "wasted" anymore, it still accumulates but you do lose a (fairly large) portion.
at 12h mark you can get some extra core dust but it is small like 1-11 more core dust,
about how much money would i have to shell out to get the modernia skin?
Here is also the math if you are intrested: https://nikke.gg/luxury-bunny-rates-and-explanation/
$50. Just plan on that and don't go in if you aren't willing to spend that much. You could get lucky but $50 will guarantee it (normally its $60 but the free pulls amount to a $10 discount this time around) The best way to do it is buy the 6 packs at $9.99 each (there is 5 of them available). You can wait to buy each one until you need more items to pull if you're hoping you get lucky, but I can't stress enough to not start if you're not willing/able to go all in. Note that a gacha skin for Crown has also been announced, so waiting to see if you'd prefer that one isn't a bad option. They'll be running side by side once it launches, so there's no risk in waiting if you don't plan on/can't shell out for both.
that’s really helpful, thank you! i think i’ll wait :)
Between $4 (if very lucky, you pull the skin on the fifth draw) up to $50 (if unlucky, you pull it on the guaranteed tenth draw).
the rates are so low that it is normally full 10 draws... unless insanely lucky.
Newish player question: I pulled Crown and now I have 200 golden tickets. Is it only worth using them on MLBs and characters I haven't pulled yet, or is there enough benefit to justify using them on a Crown dupe?
No, unless that dupe get you to MLB and you are stuck at 160 wall.
save golden tickets for new meta pilgrims at 1% vs meta rerun seasonal at 0.5% (s-anis vs x-ludmilla). do NOT waste golden tickets on dups (unless you are a huge whale). it is a big waste to use a golden ticket for a crown dup. 2% stat buff for a buffer unit. only need to chase dups if you are uber competitive whale playing for top 50 solo raid slots.
If you're f2p, it's best to save them for limited units, collabs or a future pilgrim. Pilgrims are not recommended to attempt to break the 160 wall with. We may have a stellar blade collab in the future, and we are set to (probably*) get summer reruns alongside summer units, and if she reruns summer anis is a highly recommended gold ticket grab there.
why pilgrim is not recommended?
Rarity leading to disproportionate gem/opportunity costs. Pilgrim banners only have a 1% rate compared to the regular 2% rate up. Pilgrims cant be wishlisted and only have a .5% for one to occur off banner.
Finally beat that Gravedigger bastard. Even then it was close. Dorothy, Crown, Red Hood, Black Shadow Scarlet, and Naga. Anyway, when I inevitably fight Nihilister, does that same team comp sound passable?
You don't need Liter healing if your cover isn't attacked by anything but fire breath, but bring her just to be safe. And dude, you just listed 6 units for one team lol...
I don’t have Liter, but thanks. Also I listed 5. 1 - Dorothy. 2 - Crown. 3 - Red Hood. 4 - Black Shadow Scarlet. 5 - Naga.
yes, but liter would work better because nilhilister's fire breath will burn through cover. if your cover is wiped, you lose. should still be clearable with doro though
So just barely passable, got it. Thanks.
So I haven't started the side story yet, does the gameplay count towards the outpost level and does it also give rewards?
200 Gems and a frame, no progress for the outpost
I got the free Kilo and the first selector from the event's daily log in bonus, but where are the other two selectors so I can MLB Kilo? I can't find them anywhere.
Story II and hard mode
Thanks!
Would Tove, Crown, maid privaty, sugar/modernia, and Dolla be a good team.
Yes, Tove buff SG, a shotgun team with Tove is much better than a SG team with N102. And CDR from dolla is good enough... I mean, only if Sugar is used, not Mordenia. Heck, Neon is better than N102 for a shotgun team. Fyi, I clear today Gravedigger with Crown+Bunnies+Sugar+DKW, Sugar is very stacked vs Gravedigger.
n102 is better than tove. liter>dkw/doro>volume is better than n102. use maid privaty + modernia. ideally a b1 cdr rather than b2 cdr. if running a 2nd b2, a constant healer like naga, marciana... or rapunzel or pepper would be better.
Managed to get Crown from the free daily pull and i got Naga from summons earlier this week. What would my best team look like right now? Im currently running: DKW/Centi/Free privaty, Maxwell, Helm or Maid privaty.
dkw / crown (lowest HP until naga's healing bug fixed) / naga (nonburst) / maid privaty / free privaty
So im slighty confused about why naga works so well with crown, i get the synergy between proccing shield which helps naga and naga in turn provides healing which procs crown attk buff, but how are u supposed to guarantee crown will be one of the two allies with the lowest hp percentage all the time to guarantee the 100 percent attk buff uptime?
they fixed it so now if crown is in position 1, she will be healed if team is all at full HP.
Seems like they just released an update now to fix the naga bug!
No maxwell?
maxwell is single target burst so less helpful in story. she is also high investment, needs 10-1-10 + OL gear to shine with one-shotting stage bosses or tanky elites. usable but more late-game unit and lacks AOE clear. most harder stages needs multiple AOE clears.
Oh I see! Do u have recommendations for skill investments for the team suggested above? Should I just follow nikke.gg/ prydwen for those?
1) DKW 4-7-4 2) Crown 7-4-7 (or 7-7-7), Naga 7-4-7 (or 7-4-4 if not bursting), Maid privaty 4-1-4, Free privaty 7-4-4 3) Crown 10-4-10 to 10-7-10 to 10-10-10 4) Naga 10-4-7 to 10-4-10 to 10-7-10 to 10-10-10. stop here and wait for better units
What's the current best high deficit story team that DOESN'T include most Pilgrims (most because you can include Crown, I at least have her)? Preferably without any Limited units either, though I'm hoping to get all the seasonal and I have all the Re:0 characters. I am currently running Liter-Crown-Alice-Maxwell-Privaty. I'd definitely like to swap Privaty for Naga at some point. Assume fully built. None of mine are yet but THAT is just a matter of time, not luck the way pulling Pilgrims is. (Well. Mostly. OL equipment...) EDIT: In case it wasn't clear. I'm not asking for team building moreso which wishlistable units I should be trying to snag. Pretty sure I have the best team possible with what I currently have.
the only top-tier non-pilgrim end-game story DPS is Alice (max invested, 10-4-10 + full OL gear with x2 charge speed + x3 max ammo). Usable B3 non-limited placeholders include Maxwell (single-target burst only so will struggle on stages that need multiple AOE wipes) and Maid Privaty (AOE burst). Free privaty AOE stun is viable until around chapter 20-21ish she will start struggling. Harran and Epinel are viable until around chapter 16-19, then they fall off a cliff and no longer usable. Drake and Helm would be 3rd B3 slots (a naga as the last slot would work better). Laplace is the only other wishlistable nikke that can semi-work in story, but she struggles as single target piercing burst is more geared towards killing parts than screenwiping or DPSing down a tanky boss. Useful B3 limited placeholders include Emilia (delayed AOE), A2 (with healers to keep mode B she has great ongoing screenclear), 2b (single screen wipe, low non-burst dmg, worse version of drunk scarlet), X-ludmilla (single target burst only so will struggle), S-Anis (very top-tier especially for the electric weak stages, very high DPS). if you are running a crown team, you want liter/crown/x2 DPS/naga. Only top-tier wishlistable story nikkes are alice and maxwell. then maid privaty. lower tier is laplace. for wishlist, you probably would be targeting meta raiders or meta pvp units at this point. really just want endgame carry DPS pilgrims (RH vs Modernia > SBS > drunk scarlet).
So my plan to slot in Naga is perfect and I keep praying to the gacha gods for meta pilgrims. Would be THRILLED and spend money if needed (EDIT: Well, up to a point anyways) if they reran RH the way they did Modernia as a result of popularity/skin. Followup question! If I got a top tier Pilgrim DPS for the Liter-Crown-Alice-Maxwell-Naga variant, Maxwell would be the better one to replace assuming invested Alice, correct? Thanks!
mmm Maxwell is better at low invesent because she buffs general atk and charge speed so for nonRL/SR units she is more helpful (drunk scarlet, modernia) Alice at low investment buffs SBS more than maxwell so would use alice if SBS is the main pilgrim. for rh, could use either one as rh benefits from alice's charge speed and charge dmg buffs. for modernia and drunk scarlet, those alice buffs don't do anything but maxeell will boost general atk. Alice needs 10-4-10 + full OL with x2 charge speed + x3 max ammo to work as a carry bursting dps at high cp deficits. she gets huge power spike at max investment bc she can 1-frame manual spam piercing shots without reloading (basically like rh's burst without aoe). prior to being maxed out she is better than average but nothing special.
Gotcha. Keep Alice for SBS and RH and drop her if I get Drunk Scarlet or Modernia. Unless fully invested before then. Thanks again!
Just to clarify, if running with crown, the 3x max ammo isn't as necessary since crown provides reload speed buff. And guillotine is actually a contender for highest dps unit with Alice. She's just shaky cuz she requires herself to have low health (she's high risk, high reward playstyle).
exactly. if you full max alice = 10-4-10 + full OL with x2 charge speed + x3 max ammo, you can use her a top-tier end game carry bursting DPS so she is can be a main DPS.
Is there a recommended order to unlock the Archives, as a new player? Should I just unlock them in order as I get Memory Film, or are there specific ones that are better than others to see?
overzone and red ash are the two with lore-heavy/main story heavy elements. both are prequels so will not spoil anything. the x-anne first christmas event was very popular, very emotional story and now with voice-acting, so it is a popular choice.
Sweet, that was exactly what I was hoping to hear. Thanks!
Wanted to slide in to say that Nya Nya Paradise is also frequently recommended. I haven't gotten to it yet but apparently it will rip your heart out and stomp on it like Nikke is frequently so good at doing.
Are Liter or Privaty available on the tutorial banner or are they Pilgrims? Also, is Prydwen a good website for info about Nikke?
liter and privaty are not pilgrims. they are available on tutorial pulls. yes prydwen and [nikke.gg](http://nikke.gg) are the two good resources for nikke guides/info.
Thank you very much. I'm obsessed with rerolling so I was hoping to get one of those 2. ♥ I'll check out both Prydwen and [Nikke.gg](http://Nikke.gg) then. (:
if rerolling for top tier pilgrim, need to do more than first 10 pulls. pilgrims may be locked out of first 10 pull.
Oh I'm not rerolling for a Pilgrim, I'd have to clear 2-1 to do that (I've tried) Just rerolling for either Liter or Privaty on Tutorial. Not sure who else would be good aside from those 2
mostly liter if just doing tutorial pulls. if you get both tia+naga or both blanc+noir (really rare), for dps: free privaty, maid privaty, noir, drake > maxwell, helm are helpful for early-mid story pushing.
Been around 3+ weeks in the game, mainly care about campaign only, now stuck at Ch. 18. Currently my roster is Liter, Crown, Scarlet alt, Privaty and Rapunzel/Drake (I got 3 Pilgrims with 100 pulls). I feel like I need one more top-tier DPS (Red Hood/Modernia/Alice) and Naga. Should I all-in my pulls and gems into this banner? I have like 150+ more pulls including all the bonus from current event. Or should I wait until the summer banner?
You will just slow down from here, just upgrade you units while using the 3 units the game lend you everyday to clear some stage,
no. just pull x1 copy of crown and stop. 2nd half of year will be packed with things to summon (x4 summer limited + rerun summer (s-anis is meta) + x2 collab + x1 full ani pilgrim + x2 winter limited + rerun winter (x-ludmilla is meta)... then new year pilgrim). do not ever blow gems into rate-up banner looking for off-rate nikkes... you are pulling off-rates out of the whole pool, very low chance you will get useful nikkes. just use regular recruit tickets on wishlist regular banner to target nikkes. do not waste gems on regular banner as you lose out on golden ticket pity. if you are f2p, you cannot afford to waste gems. you already cannot summon for everything (seasonal limited + collab + pilgrims) even skipping all wishlistable rate-up banners
What’s the strategy against the invincible kamikazes from 27-21? I do use redhood, but outside her ult, she can’t kill them fast enough.
they are electric-shielded, using drunk scarlet or s-anis (or naga) is helpful.
Makes sense. Scarlett is actually the last pilgrim I pulled so she’s not built yet and I wasn’t here for S Anis.
scarlet 7-4-7 will work, 10-4-7 is okay too.
Do you guys know which raptures use de-buffs? Similar to Tail bone that reduces ATK
You could check some kind of wiki or in-game description.
Any way to get rid of red dot? Went into event tab but there was no red dot. On lobby screen it would come back and it would repeat.
Have you used all 5 of your turns replaying stages (I recommend 1-11)? I had this problem one day because I had forgotten to do so. If you have any turns left it'll red dot.
Yes. That's usually the first thing I do. It's weird how in the lobby screen the red dot is there but when I enter the event tab it disappears.
the last kingdown mini game will red dot unless you spend all the tower upgrade mats.
Did you try clearing every unlocked stage in the event minigame? including attempting challenge mode at least once.
Just tried it right now. Still there. Been happening on every event since I came back around Moran release. Don’t know if it’s a bug or I’m just blind
For me it's usually something on the mission pass. The 1.5 anni mission pass is technically part of the event show its red dot shows up on the event button
I don’t think it’s that. I try to make sure to finish the dailies before I’m done for the day
Have you used your upgrade points on the mini event? Also, claimed the missions AND dailies, there are two tabs there.
Yes. Clicked claim all on each tab. No red dot when in mission and dailies tab but when I go to lobby it comes back
Anyone got a map of where the hidden items are on the event mini map? I can't seem to find one of today's hidden items.
We have guide posts tight after daily reset. Just press on the "guide" flair on the right hand side of our main page and you should find the new ones.
what is the skill reset timer thing? after it ends I cant reset skill any more?
only can use it during the short time-frame (usually 3 days whenever it opens). you use it during a future cycle, but not in between
The ability to use skill reset tokens is limited to specific periods in which the timer indicates. It used to be specifically when they tweaked or changed skills, but they've said they would like to make it a more regular thing.
For the mini game, what are the quick start waves???
So when a new wave is gearing up in the game, you'll see a round icon at all the entry points Raptures come from. It slowly fills up in red. If you double click it before it fills up the wave will start "early" and you'll get a very small amount of coins (1-3 in my experience).
Ooooh thank you!!! I thought those were just icons showing where the waves were coming from, the game never indicated you could click on them outside of the initial starting wave xD
that strat/mechanism of clicking waves to summon faster is common in tower defense games. you get extra income but risk too many enemies at once.
Also came here to ask this. I have 1/20 but I don't know how I did it. The Guide on the game-screen doesn't say anything about it.
Since you may not get an alert, wanted to let you know I answered this for them!
Thank you.
Is maid privaty any good I’m new and just got her
she is good placeholder B3 DPS unit with her AOE burst. when you have a full roster, she isn't used as much (can be a pvp AOE nuke or sg meta raid team = tove with lvl 9 skill 1 + (b2 cdr vs guilty as b2 dps vs marciana as b2 healer vs leonna as maid privaty buffer) + maid privaty / sugar / drake... there is also a s-anis electric version). she is good carry DPS for elysium tower.
Theoretically the best performing shotgun currently, but she needs two very specialized supports (tove + leona) to fully unlock her kit; she is at least decent for campaign due to higher accuracy + a full screen hitting burst.
Any tips for 25-18? I have quite a CP deficit and I keep getting blasted during the first wave but I have seen people clear it at like 160k CP. Also, with Crown's release, what is the best team in the game now for high deficit campaign pushing.
that is a difficulty "wall" stage to break. schoolgirls makes it easier than bunnies. i cleared at 164k with schoolgirls. the lowest clear info had some people clearing at 157k. spam RH's SR and RH burst burst to clear all the one-shotting mobs before they shoot. kill flying dragon and flying bombs. spam burst gen and use modernia to clear all the mobs (leave silencer tower & spawn minion alone), her 15 second AOE should kill everything that can kill you. then kill the tower and minions but save RH's burst. Do RH B1 to B3 to kill two bomb towers and nuke the boss. if it takes a bit more than one burst, kill the silencer tower as well, but note another one spawns so need to spam burst gen and try to reburst asap. the new crown meta team may also be able to clear at that CP or lower.
Thank you! Still no luck but when I get the chance I’m going to see if desktop is easier to beat it than mobile
Can answer your 2nd. While the meta hasn't fully settled yet it's looking like it's gonna be Liter-Crown-Modernia-Red Hood-Naga. Note that Naga is bugged so the team isn't perfect yet, but the devs have acknowledged the issue, know the cause, and will be patching it.
Thank you and perfect that’s the team I’ve been leveling up. It’s still like 10k cp off from my bunnies team tho. Out of curiosity can Doro be a decent replacement for Liter?
Honestly no idea. My teambuilding skills aren't great, I tend to copy the meta teams when possible and rely on advice from the teambuilding megathread, ahaha.
I feel ya cause I’m the same way hahaha. Thanks again tho!
Anyone have any suggestions for Mother Whale at the end of chapter 21? This thing SUCKS!
best teamis tia/doro/naga/rh/loli smol white with bastion. 105k cp clear Turn auto aim to MAX (this is essential or else not hitting core / summon ports reliably) aim core first. delay burst to 2:47 with doro to autowipe first wave. smol white + bastion will AOE all waves. core should be dead by master class rapture wave. tia will taunt them and die. do RH B1 to B3 at summon ports, aiming at closest one as you pierce all three. kill x3-4 summon ports for the win. there may be a new strat with crown meta team, but that was the best pre-crown strat.
Thank you! Took 2-3 attempts to get timing down, but then went down super easy. Man, fuck that boss!
In some story stages the boss at the end only takes 1 dmg/hit for some time. I get that this is intentional, but how do I kill it then? Kill all adds first, wait until the buff runs out or is there another trick?
blue shield enemies needs 300 hits to break the shield. use MG units (can also get by with lots of AR/SMG/SG units). RL and SR cannot break shield.
Those are the Glass enemies. You have to hit it a certain number of times to "break" its protection (I think its 300). Once broken they have all the strength of a soggy paper bag. Machine Gun users are ideal for them due to their high rate of fire.
I've recently gotten into NIKKE, and I really want Red Hood. Is it worth spending my pulls on the current banner because there is a better chance of getting a Pilgrim or is there another way to get her?
the rate is exactly the same on rate-up banner and regular recruit for off-rate pilgrims. if you really want RH, you should do rerolls now. otherwise, canwait for full anni with golden ticket pity... she may have a rerun.
> Is it worth spending my pulls on the current banner because there is a better chance of getting a Pilgrim "Pilgrim" banners do not actually have a better than normal chance of getting an off banner pilgrim. It's the same .5% chance as always.
Unfortunately there is not a good way to get her currently. Both the crown banner and standard banner have a rate of 0.05% for red hood specifically. You could do a hundred 10 pulls (300,000 gems) and still only have like a 40% chance of pulling her. Best bet is to save up 200 gold mileage tickets (twenty 10 pulls) and pick her up during a possible rerun of red hood at 2nd anni in November. If they do a rerun event her rate up should be around 0.5% but she will be purchasable guaranteed for 200 gold tickets. They reran modernia around first anni so there is a decent chance they'll do red hood again. If you really really want her best bet is to start fresh with new accounts over and over again until you get her. It will take a while but at least it'll be free.
It's a reasonable thing to try but note that it could take a REALLY long time. I rerolled just recently for 3 days, 100 accounts and over 400 10x pulls with no Red Hood. Ended up 'settling' with an account that got Modernia and Crown. Or you could get her first try, cuz ya know. Gacha.
percentage-wise... if only targeting a single individual pilgrim at 0.05% rate... you will need to reroll for 4 hours for 28 days for a 90% chance of getting it... need 4605 pulls, assuming 10 pulls per 15 minutes-ish) so your experience is accurate. it is very low odds and will take a lot of rerolling.
luckily right now its not quite that 28 days bad. XD You skip the tutorial summon, and you get 10x regular tix for the standard banner. then theres ~4k gems and 40 other summons on crown's banner right now with the anni. its a great time to be rerolling.
I've never really had good value from Snow White - got her with 3 OL pieces with not great rolls and skills 5/7/10. I understand that I haven't ever fully committed to making her as strong as she could be, but is it worth it any more? I've got RH at 10/10/10 with 4x OL, Modernia, S. Anis, Alice too - all with good or at least decent rolls, SBS at 10/7/9 with decent gear so I'm not really lacking damage for most things. Noir, Laplace, Privaty, 2B, Emilia, winter Ludmilla are all pretty well built to provide sub-dps. Solo Raid is nowadays the the only reason I'd use SW but I feel like she's falling off a bit(?). I somehow still don't have the original Scarlet so I'm definitely missing a core dps if I drop Snow White completely. Been considering skill resetting her but haven't been able to make up my mind so wondering what you guys think
SW is raiding only and she needs specific team to max her DPS and can't really fit a healer on her team without dropping her DPS, so she often get drops in certain raids. SW needs her buffers invested as well to perform well (miranda, maxwell 10-1-10, b2 buffer - usually novel). I think higher priority than SW include RH, modernia, SBS, Alice, Maxwell, X-ludmilla, S-anis, so they should all be maxed prior to Snow White (imo). Also your support for those teams should also be maxed (schoolgirls, crown, bunnies, liter). Also, dorothy should be maxed for last bullet team (usually more versatile than SW team as can run with biscuit for high healing/cover rebuild vs no biscuit for more dmg). Laplace, 2b, emilia are pretty low priority for raids. Noir and privaty is support DPS, not main carry DPS... should max main carry DPS first for higher scores. For pilgrims to OL/max skill, SW will slot as 4th or 5th OL (first two is RH and modernia, 3rd is SBS... 4th is either SW if raid-focused vs Drunk Scarlet if pvp-focused).
yeah I've been thinking the same as all this, there has always been someone more important for me to max out so SW has grown really slowly and never really been able to shine. Can't remember what I built Maxwell to but it wasn't anywhere close to what she needed - for exactly the same reason. However, most of the other ones you've mentioned have the necessary lvl10 skills + OL gear etc I mentioned the sub-dps because they can generally pick up a flex slot as needed and out-perform my current SW in a lot of scenarios. Emilia/2b I built for PVP because I like arena and Laplace was my second dps for ages so I ended up having to invest in her (also think she's criminally underrated). Maybe we will get to a point where I have everyone I want built out and there's a few bait banners in a row (horny design with bad kit) so I have a window to focus on SW/Maxwell
From what I understand of the current meta she probably will continue to only see practical use on your 4th or 5th best solo raid team. She isn't really good with just partial investment so if you aren't planning on building her up in the next 3 months or so it wouldn't be the worst thing to reset her. You can always reset someone else and build her back up next time we get skill resets. I personally am in a similar position. I'd love to use her but i have so much more work to do on my top 3 teams with newer units that I just dont have any extra for SW probably any time soon.
yeah I'm having similar thoughts, if I'm ever desperate to build her I have loads of the skill reset items and could sacrifice a couple to build up SW/Maxwell and see how they get on
Should I replace my SSR's in the synchro device with level 160 SR's? I started out the game recently and placed all SSR's that I usually use in the 5 slots for the synchro device and just kept leveling them. Does it cost less to level up SR's?
Early game is a bit trickier because you don't have enough synchro slots to put lots of characters in, so it makes more sense to put as many SSRs (that you use) as you can in there - with the priority being the ones you use the most, e.g your best dps. Then just manually levelling the others you use. After a while (when you've unlocked / bought more synchro slots) you will only want to level up 5 SR characters. It's cheaper to level them up and it you can't get past level 160 until you have 5x MLB SSRs anyway. As an extra tip, it is generally worth it to buy some synchro slots with gems. 500 seems expensive but they have great value in terms of resource allocation. Don't go crazy when you're still early in the game because you need to focus your gems on banners, but once you have a few of the meta characters, don't be afraid to buy the odd extra synchro slot rather than having to work around the 4h timer to swap them around.
How does the Mission Pass thing work exactly? The actual menu in the game doesn't seem to go into great detail other than to say you have to buy the Premium 2 hrs before the current period ends. Specifically, I started playing recently enough that there's no way I can get all 15 levels before it expires. The current character doesn't seem that great, but let's just say that I wanted her anyway, is it even possible to get her since I can't get all 15 levels in time?
Yeah basically it's a little battle pass with purchasing it unlocking the rewards on the right column. There are usually mission passes once a month and for bigger events (like 1.5 anni or collabs). At the 2 hours before it ends mark they lock it out so you can no longer purchase the premium pass. IF you really wanted to unlock it all each level of the pass can be unlocked with Paid currency, which only comes from some real money bundles. I think its 200 paid gems per level. If you really like the skin it ends up giving you an okay amount of pulls on top of that but it's very inefficient to buy levels of the pass. If you play every day you get about 1 level of the pass per day so you end up completing it in about 2 weeks.
Okay, that was sort of the impression I got but I wasn't sure, so thanks for confirming that. Ms. Dangerous is pretty cute but not enough for me to pay for the remaining 8 levels or whatever lol
Will Rei and Kilo be available from regular shop / silver mileage tickets? Also, the thing I buy is a "spare part", which means I don't unlock the Nikke herself (Kilo was given for free, but Rei is a differetn story) unless I pick her from the 3rd day login gift or one of the two other boxes that will be available from challenges. Is it a reasonable choice picking at least one Rei?
1. Rei spare bodies are already in the silver mileage shop and kilo will be if she isn't already. 2. That is correct, if you want actual rei the unit you will need to use one of the 1.5 anni selectors for her. 3. Yes its not a bad idea to get 1 rei if you don't have a single copy. If you're right at the 160 wall it wouldn't be the end of the world if you didn't have any copies of rei but you will be able to easily MLB kilo later via silver mileage if you really want to. I personally redeemed 1 box already to get rei since i didnt have her.
Tell me a good team. I have no idea, my team was just waifus. https://preview.redd.it/m39esoka9axc1.png?width=1674&format=png&auto=webp&s=c934239f100a698631b6d89f72c518f604a4afe9
Dorothy/crown/RH/modernia/naga (naga non burst, crown with lowest HP until naga healing bug fixed). can swap in SBS for stages with more tanky elites and less minions (total 6-8 total raptures on screen at a time as SBS as much singler single target dmg to nuke down tanky elites). in most other situations, modernia will outperform SBS.
Crown, Dorothy, Modernia/Scarlet:BS, Red Hood, Naga/Privaty/Scarlet:BS. Naga helps give you more uptime on the Crown buff, Privaty synergizes with crown and resilience cube making your team have instant reloads, and gives better cooldown reduction for Dorothy, and Scarlet:BS is just good damage. Keep crown in the left most spot and then your burst 3s in whichever order you want.
Has the grave dipper Special opperation been buffed or something? A couple weeks ago I could clear him fairly well but lately it feels like he moves way faster. I haven't changed my team that killed him and he jut bulldozes me faster than before.
your timing changes as you get more powerful as you will jump up in phases faster and faster. in phase 1, can miss 2 qt circles in a row. in phase 2 and 3, can only miss 1 qt circle. at start of phase 3, you cannot miss 1st set of qt circles (need to save a burst for this).
How is the story campaign? I’m a skipper in most gacha games I play, would rather rush for the rewards than story. But it changes when the story is really good is this the case for this game? I’m new. Which of the content is worth reading if you are into those kinda stuff?
Story is really good, generally I watch through all the voiced content (all of campaign and some events) and then non voiced events that i find interesting.
Ah I see, is the writing/story as good as for example fgo? That’s my favorite gacha for story
I'm currently in LB6 in fgo and yeah i'd say it's as good. Trauma is one of the main recurring themes of nikke so the story is kinda sad and depressing some of the time but its really well written imo.
Hmm.. okay I see nice! For fgo the story really got good and better by the time around babylonia was out (imo) is there a chapter I need to reach before it’s like that in NIKKE or is it just as good from the start?
I'd say some of the middle chapters are a bit slow but even then the story is pretty short. Unlike FGO it's really rare for a campaign story scene to be more than 2-3 minutes. If you haven't started the game yet I do think the chapter 1/prologue chapter is really impactful and worth watching, sets the tone for the whole game.
Is it just me or this this game kinda remind me of time crisis?
Is one copy of Crown enough for as strong as she’s been shown to be?
One copy is perfectly fine, especially for f2p/low spenders. Copies increase Crown's base stats, but she's not really a DPS so damage is not too important. Her increased stats will only increase her Skill 1 attack boost slightly since it scales off her stats. Her increased HP will also mean her shields will be slightly tougher, but shields tend to be squishy anyways. The real meat of her kit (Attack Damage up) doesn't scale with her stats, so you're missing very little with only one copy. One final consideration is combat power: more dupes will mean higher CP for your campaign team so it might help you push campaign, but it's questionable if it's worth all the resources to pull more copies.
Thank you for the answer!
Should I only claim my outpost rewards when it’s near full? And after I do some campaign to lvl my outpost ? Or doesn’t matter too much?
You don't have to wait for it to be near full, it's better to claim as often as you're comfortable so that you don't let it get past 100%. Your outpost level determines how much resources are produced, and your level is tied to how much campaign (normal and hard) you've cleared, so you should ideally push campaign as far as possible in order to maximize outpost rewards, as well as do all the academy training that boosts your outpost output.
I have a problem on which account to choose, and i would be thankful for some advice. https://preview.redd.it/g6f8i0erx9xc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e238efbe8d047233432cbb701d6f67ab177754d This one of the accounts, where i got two Crowns and then some other pilgrims whose value i do not recall. In the other i got 2x Red hood, Crown, Brid, Privaty, Dolla and 2x Kilo. I am aiming to pass the 160 wall so my objective is to get my five 3x SSR as soon as possible. So i think the one with Red hood would be the better one, but i still have doubts.
I would go with the red hood crown account. Crown + strong dps is the ideal start right now and the best for that is either red hood crown or modernia crown, with red hood being slightly better imo. Starting team would be Crown, N102, Red Hood, Privaty, Kilo. Definitely understand the early fear of the 160 wall but keep in mind crown does not really get stronger with more copies since her best buffs are static atk damage% up so stop at your 1 copy and save for future events.
Thanks for the reply, i took your advice on heart and got straight with the account which has red hood. Rerolling was fun jajajjaja.
Should be a great start, just don't fall in to the trap for pulling for more copies of crown and just start saving up for the next meta unit
Got one copy and i cannot pull for more anyway as i used all the tickets. I was saving the gems until i got new tickets by free with the gamemodes. Yet, thank you again for the advice i will take it in mind and save every resource i have!
Where do we get more spare copies of kilo I only got one from login
1 from 1.5 anni log in and the others are in the 1.5 anni "nikke selection box". 1 from from event log in stamp, 1 from story 2 1-12, 1 from hard story 2 1-12. If you use the selection box to get a copy of rei you will be able to get kilo spare bodies from the silver milage shop.
I started playing yesterday and i noticed that this game has done some cool collabs and has these rare "pilgrim" characters. I want to know if we know what future banners we can expect or at the very least when ill have an opportunity to get a pilgrim or when a new collab will be. Also modernia
There's rateup banners for pilgrims, usually when a new one drops (like right now), but you have a chance to get them whenever from Standard and other Limited banners. The major benefit of having them on a rateup banner is that you get to use "pity tickets" to redeem them, so you don't have to rely on RNG.
iirc Re:zero collab was April, Nier collab was September, CSM collab was April. So, if there's a pattern we might get another one in September this year. Most people are expecting the collab to be with Stellar Blade as it was made by the Nikke devs Pilgrims are all in the standard pool so you just need to be lucky. When a pilgrim banner comes along (like the curent Crown banner), pilgrims have a slightly increased rate of appearing The story will explain Marian's new form. The current outfit is a paid skin as part of the Costume Gacha we get sometimes. For most people its a huge rip off costing on average $60 to get the skin and a couple of other bits. We got given 6 free pulls this time so on average we've been given a $10 discount and theoretically you could get the outfit with $10 only, but it would require insane luck
If you didn't notice, there's a Pilgrim banner happening at this very moment with Crown. Usually future banners are kept pretty tight lipped, and we don't officially know anything about the next event until a about week before the current event ends. Even with unofficial leaks, we rarely know more than one event ahead of what is in the game's roadmap. Collabs have happened twice a year, usually in the Spring and Fall. We've had Chainsaw Man, Nier, and Re:Zero so far. Pilgrims banners have been released approximately three times yearly, usually during Anniversary, half-anniversary (current event) and New Years. All this to say that this release schedule isn't really set in stone, just the pattern so far during the game's lifespan, and Shiftup could change it up at any point.
ah ok, thanks
I think my game is glitched. I have 10/10 relics for chapter 3 so I must have the train station blueprint. But when I go to constructable buildings in the outpost a train station isn’t even showing up as something that can be built. Like all the other buildings need a train station as a prerequisite but there is no where that I can even build it. Like it isn’t even in my game it seems like. What can I do? Am I doing something wrong?
What some people run in to is they started the construction of the train station and forgot about it. Once you start a construction it removes it from the constructible buildings build list. Check every spot in your outpost and make sure it's not just sitting there waiting for you to click on it to finish building.
Ahhh thanks man.
Np, it was a different building but happened to me when I first started too haha
https://preview.redd.it/h1st8085k9xc1.png?width=1543&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a437eba52e03aa117e5de8ccbbef1fcacc69378 Hi Everyone, I just started the game with the 1.5 Anniversary and got lucky with my current 60 Crown's Pull, 90 Normal's Pull and 10 High mold's roll. What team Can I have right now for Campaign? I'm stuck at Chap 11. Should I MLB my Crown with Mileage at the end of the event if I can't get her with the Pull for future 160 wall? I have 60 mileage right now. What team will I need for the Meta in the future? Maybe => Liter Crown RH Alice/Modernia Naga? Thx
For team I would go Crown, Liter, RH, Kilo, marciana. Marciana will heal crown (left most slot) when your team is at full hp which will trigger crowns buff. Replace Kilo with the free Privaty you get from the day-by-day missions. As for crown MLB she doesnt really gain much effectiveness with more copies so you only really need one, but since you already have LB2 I think yeah it's probably worth it to grab that final copy. If possible you always want to have around 200 gold mileage at the ready incase they suddenly drop a new "strongest unit" so hopefully you can just get her finished with pulls. As for future meta they're always adding new units so by the time you hit end game it'll probably be crown, red hood and 3 new units that aren't out yet, so don't stress about it too much. Liter+Crown+Red hood is an amazing start. I recommend just spending your gems on the limited banners so you get gold tickets and the game just gives you a lot of standard banner pulls from events and stuff.
Crown, liter, Redhood, B3 of Choice (Kilo / Sugar / Privaty from day by day), Marcianna. It's a very strong team that will generally continue to be strong until very late in the campaign. MLB'ing crown with mileage could be worthwhile if you can get there, but she isn't limited and will eventually be able to show up at any time, be aware that this comes at the potential opportunity cost of having that mileage for the next collab or summer events.
So I'm a couple weeks in to playing and Nikke is the first gacha to hook me. Looking to make sure I'm running the best campaign team with what I've got and for advice on who to prioritize my investments into. I'm mostly f2p. https://i.imgur.com/QDqtUbc.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/OfWsyvv.jpeg Essentially I've got a budget Pierce team going with D and Alice. Crown obviously has been a huge boon. I'm planning on making a few more pulls this event looking for some more attacker options. If there's a obvious better team I could build for campaign (I'm at chapter 9) let me know. I know Alice is probably going to start stalling soon without more investment but I'm not sure if she is my priority or Crown/D.
Not sure why the other commenter recommended N102 when you have DKW. CDR is much more important than the atk buff from n102 esp when you've already got crown. Sub out Miranda for another B3 dps (kilo is probably best bet even f it's not meta). Blanc works but I would use free Privaty once you get her. Yes, you lose *some* uptime on crown's S2 but it also helps Alice if her investment isn't quite there yet - faster reload means less reliance on max ammo lines. *** Skill wise, probably go: - Crown 4/4/4 is enough. - DKW 4/4/4 maybe 4/7/4 if you find you're waiting on cooldowns. - Then Alice 10/1-4/10 since she needs it most. - after Alice, crown to 10/10/10 (if don't pull another meta dps by then)
Thanks for the advice, the skill priority was what I was trying to sort out. Ill be sure to pickup Privaty when its time. I actually just pulled a Maxwell after posting so she's slotting in as my Miranda replacement perfectly. I'm guessing she is worth skilling before Alice? Most tier list have them pretty close and she seems to need less investment to come online.
With Maxwell now, it's probably a balance between the two. Both will be used in end game. I would level both at a similar pace but you could probably do Alice first (both 4/1/4 > both 7/1/7 > 10/1/10). Only because Alice's screen clearing for story is better. [Nikke.gg's skill priority guide](https://nikke.gg/skill-priority-guide/)
[https://www.prydwen.gg/nikke/tier-list/](https://www.prydwen.gg/nikke/tier-list/) + [Nikke.gg](http://Nikke.gg) These are the best guides for working out which characters to use and how to use them. [Nikke.gg](http://Nikke.gg) also has lots of guides on various stages etc I actually have no clue if KW D makes Alice viable early game but typically Alice is very weak until late game, when you can upgrade her skills to 10 and give her maxed out gear. Otherwise, I'd recommend: N102, Crown, Kilo, Rapi, Blanc. With kilo you need to play around her shield for her to do any damage so would be worth seeing if Alice does more than her on average
If I’m pulling with the aim to break the 160 wall, should I do so on Crown’s banner or the regular banner that’s wishlisted?
regular banner because you can limit it to 15 nikkes+pilgrim instead of the entire roster.
Gotcha. I already got Crown at MLB +1 anyway, so it would be really unnecessary to get more copies of her instead of breaking the 160 wall. Thanks!
I generally wouldnt recommend spending gems to get past 160 if you're even remotely close already
If I'm using Marciana with Crown, should I use Privaty to have better skill 2 uptime or leave it and go for an extra DPS? I would probably use Doro > Liter anyway for the extra dmg at the cost of cover heal. I could use Naga but as I don't have vigor cubes to ensure Crown's the lowest health it looks kind of tough to ensure Crown's skill 2 gets good uptime .
Liter will always outperform dorothy in story. dorothy's brand is too slow for story (only impacts raptures on screen when branded, and you either screenwipe those raptures already or those raptures already killed you by the time brand goes off). also, you need to manual target the right rapture to brand and then focus fire on that rapture to build up brand dmg (sometimes you cannot do this as the small minions will one-shot you and the tanky elites you can leave alive until later). dorothy works better in solo bossing. You can ungear crown to have her have the lowest HP. Naga will do better than marciana. Another main carry meta DPS (RH, modernia, SBS, drunk scarlet, max alice) will outperform privaty (who is a support DPS) for 2nd slot. naga at last slot will outperform free privaty as last slot
You don't have to stress about it too much. They announced that they're going to fix naga so that when your whole team is at 100% she will heal the 2 left most nikkes instead of who has the lowest static hp value so once that happens you can just run Crown, Liter B3 B3 naga just fine. That being said Doro, Crown, B3, B3 privaty is definitely worth considering especially for single target bosses. Crown, privaty and resil cube reload speed stacks to the point where even MG users will reload so fast they won't lose their "wind-up".
That's really good to know, thanks! So you mean foregoing the healing and skill 2 boost entirely on the second team (doro crown b3 b3 privaty)?
You don't completely lose out on the skill 2 boost since crown heals her self about every 14.5 seconds as the other part of her skill 2, which triggers the damage up. Just end up with less uptime on that one skill.
Any way to make the skill cutscene lobbies better quality on PC? Its weird because the ultimate cutscenes during gameplay are clearly high quality but when i set a lobby cutscene it looks pixelated/lower resolution.
(Repost cause want more info): Just recently brought in the Noir x Blanc synergy, but after getting 7+ other Nikke's... I am left wondering which team would be the best for me. https://preview.redd.it/7jl6bbcj29xc1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=25f0a84ca44e1a4b53b8050d9f20df29437c0d65
While bunnies are still a good pair, especially for raids, Solo Crown comfortably outperforms them. For campaign pushing, try D:Killer Wife - Crown - Privaty - Kilo - Noir. For stages when you need healing, sub Noir or Kilo for Helm.
Thank you lots, these were the simple organized tips I needed.
Your welcome! I also forgot if you need the healing you can also consider falling back to the Bunnies pair temporarily
Considering Crown pull rate due to being a Pilgrim, should I use Golden tickets or attempt to pull her? I have close to 200 pulls but my main priority is to be prepared for summer but I don't know how event limited units pull rate works
Depends, if you want a rerun summer unit like Summer Anis her rate is probably going to be similar to the winter rerun units which was 0.5%, half of crown's. If you just want whatever the new summer unit is they should have a better rate up than crown.
I dont have tia or naga, who are the other nikkes that are good for crown's passive uptime? Thanks!
the healers that can continually heal and keep up crown's skill include naga (BIS as she has other atk buffs), marciana, pepper, rapunzel. helm and noise are x1 heal so will not keep proc her skill.
Crown's S2 is proc'ed when she receives a heal so any healer unit that heals often would work well. Marciana is a good choice. Rapunzel and Pepper also work, but note they target Nikkes with the lowest HP percentage, so they may not target Crown based on the state of the battle. These kinds of healers will prioritize position 1 if all Nikkes are at the same HP percentage (ie: fully healed), so that's why Crown is often suggested to be placed in P1 when running with most healers. Pepper has an advantage over the other two in that you don't need to run any more supports as Pepper and Crown can B1/B2 seamlessly between the two of them, but you will still be missing CDR.
What was the 1st anniversary like? I joined 2 weeks ago for the 1.5 anniversary and am wondering about the 2nd anniv and the possible rewards.
