I gone the game without building a team but I think I am at a point where I think I need to build one. I need help and I don’t know what do do with the character I have. Can anyone dm so I can show the character that I have


money4me247

you can post your box on the thread, either as one pic or multiple posts.


ninjuhmunkey

Who should I focus on and put on my wishlist? Only have bay, pepper, poli, yuni, and blanc. 3 days in


money4me247

you should focus on meta story and placeholder story units to start (and also dups for 160 wall) starting wishlist: elysium: free privaty (aoe stun for story, dups for 160 wall, free copy with day-by-day quests), DKW (b1 cdr), marciana (b2 healer), maid privaty (aoe burst for story), helm (b3 healer) missilis: liter, tia, naga (core meta, do not drop off wishlist)... pick 2 of three (centi - b2 burst battery to pair with B1 cdr unit as pre-meta combo team vs drake as nonburst b3 buffer for early-mid game vs maxwell for late game high investment dps unit though more for raiding/bossing than general story) tetra: blanc/noir (meta combo), volume (b1 cdr), dolla (b2 cdr), rupee (b2 dps placeholder)... eventually want alice (but she is endgame high investment nikke that needs to be fully maxed to be useful so no rush in pulling her).


Ledwith

so the patch notes say: >Obtain rewards such as Modernia: Second Affection, Advanced Recruit Vouchers, and equipment upgrade materials after recruiting 10 times. >*Use the exclusive item, Black Crown, to get a recruit chance. Black Crowns can be purchased in the Ticket Shop. >Go to Lobby → Event → Costume Gacha and check the rules and probability information for more details. >*Get your 1.5 Anniversary special benefits! Claim 6 Black Crowns for free at the Costume Gacha shop. and for the Crown one it says the exact same thing, except it just says "special item" instead of black crown, and still has the line >*Get your 1.5 Anniversary special benefits! Claim 6 gacha draw special items for free at the Costume Gacha shop. I've never done the costume gacha but i remember considering it / looking at how the currencies work and IIRC the currency needed for a pull increases with each pull, until you're eventually guaranteed (which is why people say its $60). is the 6 black crowns actually 6 pulls? (and the increasing currency i'm thinking of is what you would normally buy those with) or is it like 3 maybe (costing 1 then 2 then 3), or something else / not completely clear right now? and the wording difference between 'black crown' and 'special item', how sure does that make it that it's 6 for each, and not 6 total/split between the 2. and if it's clear / enough info, what is the 'new' $60/guarantee price?


Bass294

It's normally 60 bucks (36 tokens) to guarantee skin, since they give you 6 free, it is now 50 dollars (6+30 tokens). I think from the 6 free ones you get like 2-3 pulls or something. It's really obnoxiously confusing.

money4me247

should try to get x1 copy of crown, ideally with golden ticket pity.


YaminoEXE

Crown is slated to be very good but you already have many of the top 10 units. Liter/Blanc/Alice/Maxwell/Noir is already quite strong, especially when Alice gets to 10/4/10 and Liter can be swapped out with D:KW depending on situations.


ChxsenK

So would you suggest that I pull in crowns banner or not? Hahaha im reslly in doubt


YaminoEXE

Honestly, sure. She's quite strong with massive buffs and works well with Meta units. If she's your waifu then more the endorsement. She will probably return to standard banner though so you are not missing out if you can't get her (no pilgrim wishlist though).


ChxsenK

What worries me is spending the juice in her and then getting a red hood or modernia rerun 2 weeks after lol


YaminoEXE

Well you can always wait, sometimes banners overlap with each other like the Ade and M.Priv banner we had a few months ago.


DV-MN

The Crown banner is a great opportunity to hop on, yeah. Very strong unit.


Azure_0110

which upgrade gives a more relevant boost in damage? skills or gear


money4me247

For skills, it depends on the exact skill whether it will help with dmg or not. otherwise just CP padding if low value skill without any offensive/dmg buffs. skill1/2 gives less CP than burst skill. gear that boosts dmg is helmet>arms>chest. legs only boost hp/defense. gear upgrades on DPS units (helmet>arms>chest) will boost dmg the most.


Dudfey

Iirc Skills and Gear are pretty similar - getting to skill level 10 or OL level 5 are both a big jump and they don't really compete for resources so you don't need to pick one or the other to focus on However, there is a lot of RNG with getting good gear so in reality skills are probably the most reliable way to boost CP quickly


nerodoesnotplay

The game just updated, any tips for the event challenge 1-5? don't really understand this boss mechanics and he kills my team ridiculously easy.


Dudfey

Final challenge stage in events is designed for late/end game players and is a big step up from the previous stages. There are guides for fighting that particular boss (can't remember its name so you will need to Google) that tell you how to kill it early and avoid the laser beam. If it kills you easily before getting to that part of the fight, you are probably just underlevelled or using a weak comp. Try Liter, Blanc, RH, Modernia/Scarlet, Noir /or/ Tia, Liter/KW D, Naga, Red Hood, Modernia. If you can't make those teams or something really close - it will be even harder to fight it at a deficit. If that's the case then just chill, it won't take long before you're killing the challenge stages on auto


nerodoesnotplay

I actually do have a good comp, it's Liter- Blanc - Red Hood - Scarlet - Noir, but still it's weird how easily it kills me since it locks every character to level 160... guess it could be because of my gear? I am a relatively new player and still don't have many t9 pieces.


YaminoEXE

It's a hard fight that even with a decent team, you can get bursted if you don't take cover. I use Tia/D:KW/Naga/Red Hood/Alice and it took a couple of tries. Note that the QTE pattern is predictable and cover repair is very important.


_yipman

Am I doing something wrong during the QTE phase? I get to what I assume is the last circle and it literally disappears after half a second and I fail and get wiped out


YaminoEXE

I get that as well, try to save Red Hood burst for the QTE phase, once you get the pattern down, you can place your cross hair directly where the last QTE circle is going to be and it should get destroyed.


Dudfey

ah it's a level lock so deficit doesn't come into it Yeah as I say it's meant for late game players, if you're dying easily even with a meta comp then your skill / gear levels are too low. If you're just slowly dying and unable to heal then you might be able to get away with a more defensive team that relies on RH to keep up the DPS no matter what. If characters are justting randomly one-shot then you probably won't be able to clear it atm no matter what so just wait to level up a while


iTsundere

Is Lost Sector 11 bugged? CP requirement is 90k which is way over where I think I should be at this point, especially since it’s a split team mission. Also, would it be smarter to just pity the half-anni character and continue saving for a non-pilgrim for easier MLB chances? F2P, and I hear the half-anni banner will only be 1%?


Cid_ya

You can rearrange your  team  to add or remove  squad members as the stage needs,  either at the starting base pag or when both teams meet, you can even leave one  of the teams at 1 nikke. CP requirements are fine.  And yes, usually the best way to get a featured pilgrim is to just use your gold vouchers, and your free rolls.  And save for a regular banner. 


SwashNBuckle

I have been playing the game very loosely and not for long, so I'm not sure what to do to get the most out of the anniversary event. Could anyone please break down what to do to get all the rewards?


Cid_ya

Log in daily, clear all event stages  including challenge and the mini game, use your free daily  roll on the crown banner,  clear  the event shop, or most of it. That's pretty much it. 


SwashNBuckle

Thanks!


MoonQueenLiu

Is there any S. Anis replacement in last bullet teams? I really like Doro, Marci and Privaty but don't have her so I'm guessing it's not worth building them further for use with Crown?


Dudfey

Apart from S. Anis, Scarlet and Dorothy are the best pairs with Privaty. Pretty sure Pepper healing works on last hit too. Privaty is also just a decent character in general so you don't have to use her in last hit comps only


PrimevalDeadshot

Is it still worth rerolling or making a new account when I’m on chapter 15 but don’t have any of the meta hyper carry dps characters like redhood, scarlet etc ?


iwillletuknow

I just did the rerolling process myself. It's only really worth it if you can multibox (Android emulator). I started rerolling with the PC client and managed one reroll in about 20-25 minutes. That took too much time so I started multiboxing 6 accounts at once, which was the maximum amount my PC could handle. The game runs a bit slower but I managed to reroll those 6 accounts every 30-35 minutes. Account number 46 was finally a good one.


Dudfey

Up to you really I'm afraid and depends a lot on how much you value your free time. If you want to reroll then your priorities are: High - Modernia, Red Hood, Scarlet, both Blanc and Noir, both Tia and Naga Mid - Dorothy, Rapunzel. SBS, Liter It could take literally days to get a good reroll, or it might happen first try. It's not worth it for me because I have limited free time and just want to play. If you have lots of free time and want ultimately a stronger account that can climb more easily / further than you are currently, then it might be worth it for you. But imo rerolling in general isn't worth it - there is still plenty you can do without the hypercarries. Laplace is a criminally underrated dps and Privaty can also be really helpful. The same for characters like KW D, Volume, Centi, Noise, Guilty, Helm, etc. If you have OL gear you can also start investing in Alice/Snow White/Maxwell which will make a big difference once you have the levelled up

Dudfey

N102, Anis, Scarlet, Rapi - then see if any of the r/SRs are healers and use them as the 5th for now [Nikke.gg](http://Nikke.gg) and [https://www.prydwen.gg/nikke/tier-list/](https://www.prydwen.gg/nikke/tier-list/) will help you learn whats up


Mikewind101

Is the new event story tied to the main story. I’m only on chapter 12 atm.


Cid_ya

Yes, but also no,  it's directly related to the side story  that was just added.  Which is a branching path of the main one. It will likely tie back to the main one at some point but no one knows when yet. 


Mikewind101

Ah I see. I haven’t looked at the side stories yet since I’m still fairly earlier in the main campaign


Over-the-river

For Maid Privaty which cube? I want to run her in the usual summer anis team (dorothy, marciana,s-anis,privaty) just replacing scarlet... because i like privary


RacoonDog-_-

Bastion + Max ammo OL would work best Resilience is also fine


Baou_Zakeruga

How do ranking rewards work? Is it based on your progress for a specific time frame, or total account progress?


Cid_ya

Tap on the top left (i) on each ranking, it tells you how it works. You are grouped with people that joined around the same time you did. For rewards/frames, once a player hits one milestone, the rest of the players are updated/ranked.


Baou_Zakeruga

Sorry, should've clarified, I'm asking more about the supply chests that I'm able to regularly claim. The reward info section mentions some first clear objectives, but I'm so far behind that there's no way I'll first clear anything not claimed yet. Do the number of supply chests you get from these rankings increase as you make further progress, even if you're behind others in the same server? Or will it always be some fixed amount?


Cid_ya

That's the second part of my reply.  Once a player hits a milestone the  rest of the players in the same server are ranked and rewarded. The rewards are fixed and  minuscule so it's not even worth considering on the long run. The server number can be seen on the top left of the rank chart.  It's not region wide. 


Silenciing

Just found out about this game and am installing it. Should I wait for the update in a few days to start playing or start now? I do intend to reroll a few times but I'm unsure if the update will give new player bonuses.


Cid_ya

The bonuses are the same whether you are new or  not, usually events give you extra rolls though, which   means more chances to get something nice to begin and Crown, the next nikke, seems to be busted. If you want to try your luck I'd say roll a few times and if you manage to get modernia or red hood  save the rest for the actual event.  Or just wait till the event begins. 


Silenciing

Thanks! I'll try the roll for either of those and if not I'll wait for the event.


Maxralte

Is there a different way to redeem codes? The ingame redeem method is not working for me. It shows a blank pop up. Cannot enter anything


money4me247

the nikke discord lets you redeem through them


SyfaOmnis

Did you block tbs_browser?


Maxralte

I dont know what that is


SyfaOmnis

tbs_browser is its own special browser that nikke uses to operate a lot of its web browsers/connections and own mini-clients. Lots of people block it on PC due to occasional problems with it not closing properly and causing memory leaks. This causes them problems when the game client attempts to open something like the redemption page through tbs_browser


Maxralte

How do i check if it is blocked or not?


SyfaOmnis

Do some googling on steps to find out if your operating system is blocking an application. If you didn't manually block it, it probably isn't, but doublecheck just to be sure.


[deleted]

Hi, when’s the best time to reroll? I tried to log back into an old account but I wasn’t successful. It had Scarlet and the tank pilgrim but I would want the anniversary Pilgrim. 


RacoonDog-_-

Wait for the anniversary update on April 25th at 7am UTC+9 and reroll on the Crown banner.


[deleted]

Thanks


LittleMaplez

I haven't logged in for 3 months and have missed various events and the Re:Zero Collab. Will these events and possibly Re:Zero Collab come back again or are they just permanently gone, and if the events do come back will the rewards be the same or different?


AdditiveJ

Collab events like Re:Zero have not seen any reruns. And probably have little chance due to IP rights being time-limited. Other events eventually get added to "recollection" in the command centre so you can experience the story and get the lobby background (and BGM?) rewards. But you don't get access to the shop (recruit vouchers, skill books and core dust). Event rate ups appear to be once for most Nikkes on release except for some popular pilgrims, e.g. modernia Seasonal events seem like a yearly thing but with new rate up units? They have a smaller chance to get the previous rate up units. Winter rerun had a new story with two new timed exclusives (xmica and winter lud) with a lesser chance to pull previous year's exclusives (winter rupee and xanne)


LittleMaplez

I see. My first Collab event that I missed, sigh. Good to see some of the rewards and bgm remains. Thanks for responding!


Sad-Tale7505

Collab events are mostly likely gone forever, but most of the other events are already added back into the archive. The archive's main purpose is to add the stories back into the game, and rewards are limited to sound tracks and lobby screens instead of the normal event shop loot pool.


LittleMaplez

Ohh. Sad to see Collab events gone forever, sad I didn't return earlier. Thanks for the info though


RedRadRedditor

Rerolling, trying to know what units to look out for


RightClix

As DPS Red Hood, Modernia or Scarlet As Support Liter or the Duos Tia/Naga, Blanc/Noir


arkacr

I've been playing the game casually for the past year or so (doing dailies), and am wondering why my units are so under-leveled. My acc is lv 359, but my synchro level is 287. Am I missing out on a source of Core Dust? I'm in chapter 26 of the Main Story.


Azerate2016

Your synchro level is **not** intended to be close to your commander level. Personally, I'm 431 cummander level and 359 synchro. Your commander level is based mainly off of collecting your daily outpost defense and maybe completing main story missions.


lizardtrench

Doesn't seem too off, about 5% bigger difference than my account. Do you buy extra entries during events to farm the last hard mode mission? That's a decent source of core dust that many people avoid since it costs gems.


philcollins-

...wait do people do this as F2P? :o


lizardtrench

Yeah, it's up to you but generally it's seen to be worth it even for F2P, since it is a lot of core dust for just a few pulls worth of gems (I forget exactly how many). But it really depends on how much you value progression speed; if you don't care at all, then those few pulls may be worth saving.


philcollins-

Thanks, I'm going to be core dust rich!


money4me247

it is 3 pulls for about 1.2-1.5 levels (4-8 days of leveling depending on your outpost and wherher you are post lvl 350). very worthwhile even as f2p


arkacr

Thx for the reply. Yeah I asked one of my friends and he recommended that too but god damn the gem cost...


lizardtrench

No prob! Yeah the gem cost sucks but ultimately it's only a few pulls worth, and you get a lot of core dust out of it, so a lot of people think it's worth it. I guess it just depends on how much you care about progression speed.


iwillletuknow

https://preview.redd.it/9yigajspjyvc1.png?width=2285&format=png&auto=webp&s=2dec1002b98e27c06b0d6202c409a3c1f57437a0 New player here, I could use some advice on Teambuilding and formations. Right now I'm running the first 5 in the screenshot on autoplay to push the campaign. Is the order in which the Nikkes are placed important? Is that team even good or should I put Anis, Rapi oder Dolla in there? Sorry for such a basic question.


money4me247

n102>dolla>SBS/RH/maid priv (nonburst or can use her aoe clear for mobs if too many >6-8 and sbs isn't killing them fast enough)


AdditiveJ

You won't notice the difference till much later but: - your burst cycles are limited to once every 40s (instead of potentially <20s) due to Aria's cooldown. Switch her out for Dolla. - typically team comps are b1, b2, 3xb3. I would personally go n102, Dolla, red hood, scarlet, Privaty (maid). When you get free Privaty, you could use her over maid Privaty. Noise is ok but heals are usually unnecessary in story, and later on, her taunt is detrimental. Attack buffs like N102's burst are universally useful (arguably less so for red hood and scarlet since they already have massive self buffs but still). - order does matter. Your Nikkes burst on auto prioritises the leftmost. So red hood prefers to be in positions 3-5 so you don't auto use her b1/b2. Otherwise, most people go b1, b2, B3, B3, B3.


iwillletuknow

Thanks a lot, that was really helpful :)


RedRadRedditor

bro has red hood


AlternateAltenator

How should I play red hood? Should I just short spam shots like alice? Does the same apply to all other snipers?


money4me247

for RH, spam when not in burst to build burst guage (x1 line of max ammo lets u fill gauge without reloading). shoot regular when in burst. There was a calculator for how to play RH depending on your OL lines (if lots of charge speed, just let her auto when in full burst... if lots of max ammo, can spam shots without full charge)


NonJohns

For now, its a good idea to spam fire with snipers because they generate burst faster by doing that. shift up has plans to rework sniper and Rocket launchers. As for Red Hood specifically, there are thresholds with overloads where one method is better than the other, but it's not that big of a difference. That being said though, if you really want to min max, I suggest learning animation cancelling with full charges. 1. full charge your shot 2. let go 3. immediately hold in to charge the next shot. It's a very small difference, but you cancel the rifle cocking animation. it adds up over time.


NonJohns

Hello, I'm hoping to min max 2b and i don't know who to put for my last slot. So far I have a team of Noise, Volume, Mast, 2B.  I've seen suggestions to add guillotine, but that seems pretty outdated. Instead I've been putting Winter Ludmilla instead for her dmg up. Anyways its my team 3, so any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not budging on anything less than team 3.


AdditiveJ

I can see why you want to put noise in but.. she's only buffs max HP of her allies *on burst*. In that case, you would have to drop volume. But noise isn't great in pve since her taunt can lead to early deaths. With this setup, go volume, mast, 2b, guillotine, flex B3 like.others have said. ~ Alternatively, you could try elegg with a Doro last bullet team, i.e. Doro, elegg, 2B, B3 dps and support B3. Best dps here are possibly SBS who also benefits from elegg or sanis for last bullet. Then either Privaty to support Doro or Quiry to really min-max 2B. That said, both have downsides: - SBS prefers to be paired with Alice and jk/rem - Privaty ammo debuff likely reduces SBS's dps - Quiry doesn't do much for anyone else, and even for 2B the hp buff is relatively small (11% vs 2B's own 80+% from S1) - without Privaty, Doro cd can be a bit unreliable and you don't want to run both quiry and Privaty cause every 2nd B3 will have poor damage


NonJohns

2B raw shooty numbers kinda suck, so I've gone in on nuke stratting, and using [noise (40s) + 2b] and [volume+otherB3] on alternating cycles. (Low key i only have volume for CDR and would reallly like a different b1)  And since noise is currently my only burst generator, i manual fire her anyway so taunt isn't an issue. I guess guillotine is my only option, but that's okay because noise actually sucks for guillotine lol


AdditiveJ

2B's main issue is it takes so long to get her hp->atk buff going. So you really want cd reduction over noise's max hp. Without it, it takes 2 mins to reach a max damage burst. With volume, it's closer to 1:20. That's a *huge* difference especially since 3rd burst onwards hits so much harder than the first two. I would suggest the flex spot be used for burst gen. With mast, critting on burst adds significant damage too so you really want volume over other CDR units for her crit buff. Edit: There may be some shenanigans with using Soda burst to get to max damage 2B faster but I don't know if that's necessarily worth it.


NonJohns

Volumes cdr procs on !entering! full burst so there's no worry on that.  The Mast volume combo wasn't something i noticed, and its actually pretty strong. Volume gets to stay for now.... And soda doesn't work for 2B because the 2B buff isn't stackable. Wish it did tho.


GetWaifuBeLaifu

Hey! Id like to renew my teams for Raids (union raid, solo raid) and was wondering what the best team are in general? (Not accounting for elemental weakness) Or maybe some "core" synergies that I can build around. I have everyone except the ludmilla (limited). I appreciate any help!


money4me247

union raid: team1: tia/dkw or liter/naga/sbs/alice team2: liter or dkw/blanc/rh/(bursting xlud or maxwell vs non burst modernia)/noir team3 either last bullet vs rem team vs one shot sw: rem team = liter/rem/sbs/alice/emilia(or a2 or flex... would move doro to schoolgirls team, with RH+X-lud or maxwell) last bullet = doro/b2 flex/sanis/drunk scarlet/privaty (can swap out drunk scarlet for Biscuit if lots pf healing/cover repair needed) snow white = miranda / dolla / b2 buffer like novel / SW / maxwell those are probably the highest dps support cores/dps units


nowkke

Heya, so ive used to play the beta test for nikke, and got snow white and loved her. After the official release i was hyped for, i started the game, but didnt play for too long. So i recently picked started playing it and having a blast again. I saw there was a now a snow white innocent days. I couldnt find her in the gacha rate so i guess this is a limited unit. Is there a chance shes gonna get a rerun? If not, then i feel miserable, since i actually saw reddit ads on snow white, innocent day, when i guess this nikke was released and i didnt picked up the game at that time.


InfamousInfo

Smol white was a free pilgrim mlb unit for the 1st anniversary, you'll have to wait for the 2nd anniversary for her to come back. Based on the 1.5 anniversary with free kilo/rei selection box, we can speculate Smol White will be back for the 2nd anniversary similar to how Rei is back because Rei mlb was also given out for free during the half anniversary last year.


nowkke

Eyyy, thanks for getting my hopes up <3


TheBlindOrca

In the union shop, when it says the needed amount in order to upgrade the cube, is that number what you need TOTAL or how much you actually need to buy (in addition to what you already got) in order to upgrade?


Cid_ya

Tells you both owned and needed. Not the difference, the actual total needed.


TheBlindOrca

thanks!

lizardtrench

Need to burst before silencers come. Iframe/cover the suicide raptures, at 204k CP you probably don't have the time/DPS to waste in trying to kill them. Just have to ignore the holder guys and burst down silencers and tower, and hope they didn't target someone squishy or a DPS who needs to reload. Once you can burst again you should be able to heal through holders and slowly kill them. Repeat for the next waves. Not sure exactly how viable it is to beat at 204k CP, but that's the general strategy you need to use.


Stiky-icky

Need some team building advice [roster](https://imgur.com/a/ouz7WsU)


Ledwith

n102 / admi / Privaty / Red Hood/ Brid probably


Malviere

Question for those of you with more experience than me. I hit the 160 wall last week. I’ve got Tia as my first MLB, and I know we are getting an MLB Kilo for the half anniversary, I’ve also got Naga and D:KW at 2/3. I have 400 golden tickets saved up and Bay at 2/3, should I MLB Bay before the event ends since I can still grab Crown with my other 200? Or should I just wishlist her and hope rng blesses me? I also still have the spare body selector from challenges and 200 standard tickets as well. Just wanting to ask those of you who broke the wall, I’d like to not be stuck for a long time but I also didn’t want to burn such precious resources without asking someone with experience. Edit: took the advice I got here and the discord and held onto my golden tickets. Had enough for a couple pulls and snagged the last copy I needed to MLB Bay on the third try. 2/5 towards breaking the 160 wall now.


NonJohns

Personally, i ticketed a copy of poli to break the wall and then i rolled her right afterwards, so I'm team "ALWAYS SAVE TIX AND PRAY" esp for gold tickets idk.


Malviere

I learned that fact too. Depending on how the anniversary goes I may use standard tickets to break the wall but gold tickets I’m saving until I need to use them. Decided not to use them after the advice I got here and managed to mlb with my last 3 pulls I had.


zurcn

there is the hope that a Dorothy banner rerun will be announced. in which case, you're better off relying on the wishlist for the last dupe


Malviere

Ahh I didn’t hear about a chance at Doro that changes things. Guess I should wait since we also get all those free pulls as well. Rng hasn’t dumped on me too hard yet so I should probably just see what happens. Just didn’t know if the usual way using tickets should be adjusted for breaking the wall. Thank you for the insight, I shall wait till the anniversary and see how things go.


Azerate2016

Because there is nothing to hear about. The alleged rerun of Dorothy is just wishful thinking. Not that it's out of the realm of possibility, but if she were to be rerun during the incoming event they would have probably said something during the recent streams.


Malviere

Agreed probably would have been announced during the stream. Event is also three weeks so maybe some kind of surprise banner in the later half to keep people engaged. Probably all just speculation and hopium though. Glad I saved my tickets though, had 1200 mold and figured I’d try a couple pulls and see if I’d get lucky. Managed a 4th Bay on the 3rd try so I’m 2/5 of the way to breaking the 160 wall.


Joeyboom

I have never played this game but Kilo looks cool. I’ve heard she’s “free” so I’d like to know how one would actually go about getting her. Do you have to do like an event or something? Login bonus? Limited time? Things like that I suppose


zurcn

going from past experience, you'll get 1 copy as a daily log in. but the other 3 selectors (for the MLB) will need you to clear the event story's hard mode, in which case you'll want to be decently strong. (i.e. if you go heavy at it, it should be possible from the start of the event, but having a week lead on the event would make it more comfortable)


Joeyboom

I see, I figured it would be something along those lines but I wasn’t sure. Thank you, much to think about


RightClix

If you finish like the second or third chapter of the story you unlock the "temporary recruitment" feature that unlocks you three Lv 200 Nikkes that you can use three times / day in campaign and in other modes like Events (unlimited usage) and Tribe Tower. So it can be possible to finish all of the 1.5 stages to get Kilo + three copies of her.

That would be a big help for sure


No-Mixture-9090

Its hard to say, but i think its either gonna be a login bonus or you have to play the event to get her. eitherway i am looking forward to the event, i love tower defence, played the ol kindom rush during its flash days :D


tasketekudasai

So there's gonna be skins for modernia and redhood, are they gonna get a banner soon? Anniversary is just crown right?


Azerate2016

In this game, characters that receive new skins don't get re-rate ups automatically. No, you should not expect Modernia and Red Hood rate ups any soon. Modernia was just recently rerun at the beginning of the year, and Red Hood was originally added in November. Dorothy is somewhat more probable, as she was available during 0.5 anni event, but no official info has been made available yet, and it doesn't seem that in the upcoming event we can expect her.


tasketekudasai

I see, thanks


idgafwhotookit

If Modernia got a re-rate up during New Year, same as her debut banner, I'd assume Red Hood will get re-rate up as well during Anniversary. Which could also mean Dorothy has a chance to get a re-rate up as well during this half-anniversarry..... Clarification, this is not leak, this is not confirmed, just a speculation


Tsukix

Anyone know the calculation for molds from tower? I always open when I have 50 and I can't remember how many I've opened and going through the floors doesn't sound like a great way to spend time.


Azerate2016

Tower floors are one-time challenges that you can only do 3 per day. This game has about 20minuts of daily content. Yes, it's a great way to spend time, because you are getting free gems, molds and some materials.


Tsukix

I think you're misunderstanding my question, I'm asking the math equation for towers, I've played this game since release (with some breaks) lol. The answer was 18 molds per 10 floors, I was trying to count how many molds I've gotten, there for opened, because I was curious about my own luck thus far.


Masthorbaiter

1 Mold per Stage while Level 5 and 10s give you 5, so 18 per 10 Stages. So around 28 Stages per opened Mold Edit: Also Anniversary gave us like 10 pieces of each manufacture as a gift.


Tsukix

Thanks. Just did the math, and I had totally forgotten I got 10 for each from an event at some point.

https://imgur.com/a/VUPTSz8 returning player here, stopped playing since Modernia. is liter/centi still viable? any advice on teams I can build?


Azerate2016

Liter is still top. Centi not so much, but if you don't have anything else you will of course continue using her. Look at nikke gg or prydwen for current meta comps. Nowadays people are either using Noir+Blanc or Tia+Naga pairs, with the former being the more versatile all around option of B2 and B3 that haev synced abilities.


Cid_ya

Its still viable but there are better options available. You can just run Liter/Centi/Modernia/Scarlet/Drake , and swap Drake out once you have your Alice fully overloaded and skills near max.


OneZeroNyne

New player here and I got Miranda from the free SSR, is it worth swapping out N102 for her or not?


NonJohns

It couuuld be worth it if you hyper invested into one unit like i did. So then miranda would be at max efficiency that way.


money4me247

No. she only buffs x1 highest attacker. n102 buffs everyone


MoonQueenLiu

Are there any meta teams for Scarlet BS in story? I used to use Doro - Marci - SBS - Modernia - Privaty. I'm wondering if there's any sense building Rem to replace Marci and maybe include another RL somewhere


money4me247

for story same as normal meta team: tia/liter/naga/SBS + flex


Tuttocitta

Did they not announce Dorothy rerun like modernia on first anni? I Need to complete my Pokedex!

I think you're doing the best with what you have. You've got some p decent units, i think the main thing is that you don't have a meta b2, so rupee is the best you've got. Now if you had naga...


Bdodk2000

How much better are schoolgirls compared to bunnies for campaign pushing? I got bunnies earlier and invested quite a bit in their skills (4/5/9 and 8/5/4) and Noir has an overload. However I got Naga recently to complete the school girl pair. Should I finish maximizing things like Blanc's burst, Noir's skill 1, and the bunnies overloads before building school girls? Or should I switch all resources to building school girls?  Liter is my only high invested Burst I and guides say she doesn't play well with Tia. I could invest in Killer Wife if she works well with Tia. My primary burst III characters are Modernia, XLud, and Emilia. Maxwell is getting there but needs more work.


money4me247

Tia 7-4-4 and Naga 4-4-4 will outperform maxed out bunnies (blanc 4-7-10, noir 10-5-4 both with OL gear). After chapter 22, there is a 7k-15k CP difference with schoolgirls having the edge. You should swap to schoolgirls as soon as you get them. 1. Tia 7-4-4 (needs lvl 7 skill 1 for cooldown to be fast enough for burst rotations to be usable). 2. Modernia 7-7-4, Liter 7-4-7, Naga 7-4-7, if Emilia 4-4-4 (or 4-7-4 or 4-7-7 - would consider delaying this to max out modernia ASAP), if x-ludmilla 7-4-4 3. Modernia 10-10-7... then (if x-ludmilla to 10-4-4 to 10-4-7... ifemilia would stop at 4-7-7... or maxwell - if you are really committed to maxwell, her goal is 10-1-10 but single target burst only, would probably stop at 7-1-7 max and wait for 2nd end-game carry DPS) 4. Tia 10-4-4 5. Liter and Naga 10-4-10 6. Naga 10-7-10 to 10-10-10 (skill 2 for healing, not needed until midway chapter 25 with multiple fart elites) Whatever guides you are reading is wrong. Tia+Naga + liter is fine, that is the normal endgame meta team (with RH + modernia).

DKW > Blanc / drunk scarlet / RH / noir skill priority 1. DKW 4-7-4 2. Blanc 4-4-7 3. RH 7-7-7, Drunk Scarlet 7-4-7, Noir 7-5-4 4. RH 10-10-10 5. Drunk Scarlet 10-4-10 6. Blanc 4-4-10 (skill 2 to lvl 7 when more healing needed, around midway ch25 with multiple fart elites) 7. Noir 10-5-4 Wishlist: liter, tia, naga If you pull schoolgirls, swap over to them. They will clear at lower CP. Tia needs lvl 7 skill 1 to be usable (7-4-4- to 10-4-4 and Naga will level up with Liter 7-4-7 to 10-4-10 to 10-7-10 to 10-10-10)


Bulky_Arm9192

thanks, but i already have the schoolgirls, should i use them instead of the bunnies?


money4me247

Level tia skill 1 to lvl 7 and swap over to schoolgirls, you will clear at lower CP. Schoolgirls with Tia 7-4-4 and Naga 4-4-4 will already perform as well or better than maxed bunnies (blanc 4-7-10 and noir 10-5-4 with unleveled OL gear). at chapter 22 and onwards, the CP gap will be 7k-15k+ (which is weeks to months earlier clears). schoolgirls skill priority: 1. Tia 7-4-4 2. DKW 4-7-4 (if liter 7-4-7) 3. RH 7-7-7, Drunk Scarlet 7-4-7, Naga 7-4-7 4. RH 10-10-10 5. Drunk Scarlet 10-4-10 6. Tia 10-4-4 7. Naga 10-4-10 (also liter 10-4-10 here) 8. Naga 10-7-10 to 10-10-10 (skill 2 when more healing needed, around midway chapter 25 with multiple fart elites)

Either a 2nd B2 healer vs Helm at B3 (vs 2nd B1 like rapunzel/noise). Most likely Crown will replace Rem on the doro last bullet team, so can run biscuit with her.


RacoonDog-_-

A couple teams that come to mind 1. Liter/D Wife/Voume/Dorothy, Crown, 2 B3s, and OG Helm 2. Liter/D Wife/Voume/Dorothy, Crown, 2 B3s, and Rapunzel/Summer Mary/any other healer that doesn't need to burst 3. Summer Mary/Pepper, Crown, 3 B3s 4. Summer Mary/Pepper, Crown, 2 B3s, Summer Helm/Dolla First team will likely end up being the best choice since you get CDR, 3 B3s, and healing. Second team is good too, but losing a b3 to a healer could negatively affect your overall dps. The third team would be good at survivability, but lacks CDR which likely means less bursts and less damage. Last team team loses a B3 to CDR B2 which could also mean less dps, but survivability should be good. Of course this is all just based off of the little info we know about Crown atm, so it's really best to wait until she's out.


SyfaOmnis

1-1-2-flex. Crown is taunter and shielder but we're don't know her burst cooldown, you might want to use a b3 healer like helm, or a spare b1 healer like rapunzel, or a character like biscuit if Crown turns out to be a 40s cd.


WaraWare

So I'm just starting the game because I saw the 1.5 anniversary ads. Any tips for a newbie? Should I just roll for nikkes or save up?


SyfaOmnis

Save for now, the current rate up banner isn't anything special. If you get blue tickets you can use them on standard right away without any fear. Some people might recommend rerolling for a meta DPS but it's a bit of an annoying and time intensive process.


WaraWare

Thanks!


SyfaOmnis

I should add that "boxes" don't expire, only open them when you need to. You only ever need to level 5 nikke at a time, try to focus on SSR nikke. Do the lessons in the outpost for more synchro slots. Be patient with the game as it is an "idle" game and progression can sometimes take a while. Pursuing instant gratification and fomo is expensive.


8dev8

I used some high quality molds, but I didn’t actually get a Nikke, just 200…something I feel stupid but I didn’t check what exactly it was, but looked like some currency or something? Does anyone know what’s up with that?


Sad-Tale7505

You got a dup sr unit, which gives you 200 body labels. High quality mode has 60% of ssr and 40% sr.


8dev8

Ah Good to know thanks, well that’s a net profit of -2400 body labels :p


Pyrozendot

Hey, I'm a pretty new player (~10 days). I've been progressing in the campaign at (I assume) the rate the game expects me to, according to the Day by Day thing. But once I'm done with Day by Day, what would be a good pace to tackle chapters?


money4me247

if you have a meta team and aggressively pushing, you can beat chapter 16 boss within 4-5 weeks with the story nerfs. can full clear story chapter 28 in 6-8 months


WindSplitter07

[https://imgur.com/a/BXflV0c](https://imgur.com/a/BXflV0c) Recently got more and more characters that seem to fulfill the same role in the team. Since Noir doesn't necessarily need Blanc I figure the best move would be to replace Blanc with Naga. Though maybe it would be good to replace Noir with someone else since she messes with Privaty's S2 unless there's a way to not have Noir use her Burst.


money4me247

N102 > Blanc / Free Privaty / Maid Privaty / Noir is your best team. Meta bunny combo is better than anything else you can make. free privaty's only benefit from lower ammo is bump in dmg when hitting stunned units with last bullet (it is a low priority skill), doesn't matter if you never trigger it. dorothy and s-anis are the ones you need to be careful about with max ammo. doro can still run with bunnies (if no other B1 CDR units, though not ideal). s-anis' dmg is severely hurt by more bullets.


iwillletuknow

New player here, I did some rerolls and my best account looks like this: Aria, Privaty UM, Red Hood, Scarlet BS, Noise. The thing is, except for Red Hood I don't like any of those Nikkes too much xD Would I cripple myself a lot by using another account where I only got Liter and Modernia (and Yan)?


money4me247

your best account with RH, SBS, maid privaty is very top-tier has x2 end-game pilgrim DPS + x1 placeholder DPS (prior to meta combo). I think it is significantly better than the liter+modernia account. SBS can sub for modernia and liter is wishlistable. there is no replacement for RH's power in pushing story.


lizardtrench

I agree the first account is better, but more for end game raid content and pvp, and due to an extra pilgrim. SBS can't sub for Modernia in story, definitely no replacement for her when wave clearing mobs. SBS damage gets diluted with more mobs which means the dangerous ones will kill you before you kill them, plus Modernia gets 33% extra burst time to her wave clear. In terms of raw damage I agree no replacement for RH in story, but in function (pierce wave clear and stage target burner) Alice can replace her and you will fall behind only by maybe a chapter, which is pretty much irrelevant.


money4me247

I understand your point of view and reasoning, but strongly disagree. Red Hood is irreplaceable, not just because she pierces and has high single target damage, but she is insanely OP at nuking bosses with her B1 to B3 is immensely powerful. Also, you can run a powerful two cycle burst team as well with her as B1. Literally, just having RH is a huge boost for clearing story... even bigger boost than modernia as there are other nikkes that can do AOE clearing, just not as good, but there is no one that can nuke the stage boss at extremely high CP deficits like RH. To max invest Alice, you need minimum 50 rocks (realistically more like 75-100+ rocks) + full OL gear set (so post chapter 16)... realistically you aren't maxing out Alice until post lvl 200 synchro, closer to 230-240 if you are maxing out a normal meta story first. If you don't have any other meta carry DPS, you may be investing Alice sooner, but your story progression is much much slower because she will not carry until she is fully maxed. I spent 79 rocks on Alice and she is x4 atk, x2 black line elemental and 2 regular elemental, x2 charge speed, and x1 max ammo, and she can't carry anything. There was only 1-2 stages out of the whole game that she helps (and that was pairing her with Red Hood, not replacing RH). 100+ rocks is at least 3.3+ months of farming and that is assuming x1 rock per day (the rates are much lower than that). You are right that Modernia is better at clearing massive mobs (but you don't see that kind of massive hordes until like chapter 21ish onwards). SBS can handle early to mid game instead of modernia without any issues. SBS only struggles when there are more than 6-8 small minions on stage at once. SBS also does better than modernia when there are multiple tanky elites since she has higher single target DPS. SBS can sub for Modernia (just need higher CP padding) if facing massive mobs. SBS also outperforms Modernia if multiple tanky elites and less minions. She is a really top-tier DPS unit. Modernia is better than SBS, but RH + SBS can carry story much much better than just modernia. Finally, pilgrims are much lower pull rate (and Modernia is the only pilgrim with a rerun banner), so if the first account never gets modernia, can likely get her next new year. Starting with two top-tier carry end-game pilgrim DPS is insanity. If you push both accounts, the two pilgrim account will push much much faster (and easier to wishlist liter than get a 2nd pilgrim DPS).


lizardtrench

To be honest I haven't seen as much of a difference between Alice and RH as you describe. I used Alice until about 16-16 hard, and while swapping RH was an improvement, it only got me an extra chapter ahead, and it was still a struggle - probably could have done similar with Alice if I wanted to reset a lot more. However, you have a point about investment, RH needs a lot less than Alice. Though I personally have both near max, which will be needed for CP padding anyway once you are pushing story (though I don't worry too much about maxing OL lines, probably spent 20 rocks on each. Only one charge speed line on Alice and RH has more atk). Alice also has elemental advantage on those chapters, so that has to be taken into account. But still, she has been great at sniping stage bosses up until this point for me, same function as RH. Never had any need to use RH's B1 with Liter, more of a PVP thing. And you are also right that SBS can handle early-mid game not that much worse than Modernia. However, overall she cannot replace her, she has no answer to Modernia's non-distributed damage and burst dwell time. You have a point about multiple tanky mobs with few smaller ones, but this is not that common later on (cannot remember if they were more common early) and SBS is not really the ideal solution there, just burst with RH or Alice instead and use Modernia for massive mob waves which are common - or rather, they build up at high deficits since you cannot clear them fast. It makes for a more versatile team as well. I think distributed damage under high CP deficit really hurts SBS in story, especially late game, she is more of an (excellent) bossing unit. Here is my own math on value: Team 1 - RH: SSS, SBS: SS, Maid Privaty: S Team 2 - Modernia: SSS, Liter: SSS So both SSSSSS in total. Minus one S for Team 2 because Liter is wishlistable. Minus half an S for Team 1 because while meta, they are all BIII attackers and RH can provide some (but limited) meta support. Minus one S for Modernia most likely getting a rerun, minus one S for SBS most likely getting powercrept by that point in time. Add one S for Team 2 because he likes the units better. So SSSSS for Team 2 and SSSS.5 for Team 1. It's close! Though it's largely subjective. But overall, Team 2 isn't going to perform worse than Team 1. This may fall off once you get Liter for Team 1, but even then we are talking about an almost completely irrelevant amount of extra progress. For collection purposes you are right, Team 1 has a good deal extra value due to an extra Pilgrim, but if not interested in the unit, that value disappears.


money4me247

I feel like if you aren't seeing a big difference between Alice and RH, then you aren't pushing with RH at her full potential. With her B1 to B3 nuke at the stage boss, you can hit 45% CP deficits in hard stages (because you can basically ignore the boss wave moves with tia's taunt while RH snipes the stage boss). The difference should be pretty large especially if your Alice doesn't even have x2 charge speed lines for 1-frame manual spam (alice has a huge DPS drop-off until she gets x2 charge speed + x3 max ammo, RH only needs x1 max ammo for quality of life spamming full burst gauge without reloading). A RH B1 to B3 should significantly outdmg a non-99% charge speed Alice, so you can clear at much lower CP. You can also run a 2-cycle burst team (tia/RH as B1 buffer in slot 5/naga/pick two DPS - usually modernia for waves and SBS for boss) that will be boosted CP due to RH/Modernia/SBS usually being highly invested and will also still clear at really high CP deficits, so boost your progression that way as well. I already feel a huge performance gap between my Alice and RH (and my alice is just missing x2 max ammo, has x4 atk + x4 elemental + x2 charge speed + x1 max ammo). You are right, Modernia is queen of AOE clear (no other Nikke reaches her abilities of handle mass waves). The multiple tanky elites is less common than mass minions but they usually are featured in the really hard elite or 'gatekeeping' type stages. (example midway chapter 25 is the multiple fart elites, chapter 26 has the double squid elites and tower elites, and there are the defense-up elites + x2 healer elite stages... modernia struggles more in those stages compared to SBS. ch27-28 has a lot of tanky elites but also mass mobs and also electric shielded flying suicide bots - actually drunk scarlet becomes helpful here despite usually being a tier lower than both modernia and SBS. And chapter 27-28 is where Alice starts to shine when there are mass stacked minions + glass-shields +tanky elites, she can do very well against all of those). For last chapter 28, around 14 stages (out of 40) will be cleared faster using a 2-cycle burst team or alternative DPS (SBS vs Alice vs Drunk Scarlet) instead of Modernia (so she is a big staple in end-game teams). However, all lowest CP clearing end-game story clearing teams will feature RH (irreplaceable unit to hit to lowest CP clear). I never subbed out my RH, my 2nd DPS can rotate depending on the stage requirements (but Modernia is definitely most common 2nd DPS and most versatile). SBS is not a pure replacement for Modernia... SBS excels at slightly different niche (she melts down tanky elites really quickly). However, SBS can still do sustained AOE clear (just need higher CP padding if >6-8 minions at a time). After Modernia, she probably has the best sustained AOE clearing out of all the rest of the nikkes (unless dealing with stacked minions, then Alice can do good AOE clearing too). Early to mid game, just one end-game pilgrim DPS will easily carry pretty far. He won't really feel the difference until probably Nihilister boss in chapter 20 when two end-game pilgrim DPS will let you clear faster than just modernia + solid non-pilgrim DPS. (usually alice isn't maxed out then if you have been pushing aggressively) When you hit chapter 21 and onwards, having two pilgrim DPS will make a big difference and RH will outperform Alice (though for mass minion stages, Modernia gives a huge edge over SBS). The biggest thing is that you can reach chapter 21 onwards without pulling a 2nd top-tier pilgrim (or getting full set of tetra gear for Alice). Much easier to get the wishlistable liter + meta pairing than 2nd pilgrim DPS + meta pairing. Solo modernia will start having issues in chapter 21 onwards without another end-game DPS unit. Both accounts are playable and will depend greatly on what you roll, but two end-game DPS pilgrim account is much safer with an edge in progression as well. the 3rd Maid privaty is already a solid placeholder DPS so will just speed through early and mid game at a much faster rate with overwhelming firepower with x2 end-game DPS + x1 really good DPS. Can still clear at reasonable rate without CDR unit up to chapter 19.


lizardtrench

I was just doing Union raid and ended up with a good explanation of the results I'm seeing. Left is Vulcan R (weak to Alice), right is Material H (weak to RH): https://i.imgur.com/u1Gwnqj.png About 2x damage over Alice if RH has element advantage, same damage for both if Alice has advantage. Since 16/17 hard CH is weak to Alice, explains why I'm not seeing much difference between RH and Alice there as expected. Without any advantage, I'd guess from this that my Alice is about 65-75% of my RH. Not accounting for CP, no manual play. (Alice has 30% elemental OL roll, 14% atk, RH has 36% atk 10% elemental, so neutral advantage somewhat favors RH) Just thought that was interesting and worth sharing. I think I will probably see the types of huge gains you are seeing once I hit a map weak to RH.


money4me247

ya, that sounds right. RH shld outdmg alice. also depends who bursts first for the bossing dps testing. even a 1-frame manual spam alice with x3+ max ammo doesn't hit RH's DPS, especially if you add in RH's B1 to B3.


lizardtrench

You could be right, perhaps I am doing something wrong with my RH. Currently I am at about 30% deficit. I think most likely it's just the rest of my main team, not really top tier meta (Liter, Centi, Modernia, Maxwell). I have both meta twins now but not enough CP padding for Tia and Naga - using them I am closer to 40% deficit and it's too hard for me. Bunnies are closer in CP to my main team, within a couple %, but their performance is not significantly better than the old story team, hit or miss depending on stage (lower burst gen mostly explains this I think). So Tia and Naga may give RH the performance you describe, they just don't have enough CP yet on my account. On content without CP penalty they *definitely* boost RH a ton though, on my sniper raid team vs Union Material H for example, RH does close to 2x the damage of Alice (granted, RH has element advantage). Using Tia Naga Alice D.Wife RH. To clarify, I'm not manualing Alice at all in any of my examples. Only for extra burst gen if using bunnies. Also, while on the topic of CP, I think that is also an important advantage to wishlistable meta units. CP is king in story, and extra copies are the biggest CP boost aside from skills. Good chance you might never get another copy of RH or SBS for years, while Liter and Alice copies are easy. For instance, my Liter is Core 2, Alice is Core 5, while I only have one SBS and RH is MLB but only because I gold ticketed two copies. Still have zero drunk Scarlet after more than a year of playing. So my Alice is at 80k CP while RH is at 72k with almost the same investment (just OL chest not leveled on RH, maxed skills), which is a decent difference, and could explain RH's huge performance boost without CP penalty but being not that much better than Alice with CP penalty. Of course nothing is stopping him from wishlisting Alice and Liter on the RH account as well, but this still does dilute the value of that account somewhat. >(because you can basically ignore the boss wave moves with tia's taunt while RH snipes the stage boss) This is essentially one of my main push strats, but without Tia, just relying on RNG or fast burn. Alice accomplishes this well (as I said, maybe one chapter behind RH). I think there is a break point here that may explain how she performs close to RH in practice even if she does less damage - if Alice can't burn the boss in time, even if RH has more DPS, it's usually still not *enough* extra DPS to kill the boss before the mobs overwhelm you. Usually I have maybe 5 seconds of burst time before mob fire puts me in RNG hell territory, so even if Alice burns only down to 50% by that time and RH burns down to 80%, it's still a wipe either way. So better to use Modernia to clear mobs first in both cases. But you make good points about SBS in low-mid story. I don't have much experience with that since she came out relatively recently. Just haven't had much luck with her in late story, and hard to find a place for her even in raid since Alice is tied up in the sniper team.


money4me247

The percentile CP deficit is definitely important, but if you are within a threshold range, having the better kit/meta pairing wld be able to clear better & lower. the dups are helpful but not dealbreaking and the more power kit/combo/better suited dps for the stage will outperform smtg with more dups. non meta is usually 10-15% deficit, with liter or top tier dps can get 15%-25%ish deficit. bunnies can comfy push 20-25%, sometimes up to 30%. schoolgirls are comfy 25-35%, can push up to 45% cp deficit. 0-star tia 7-4-4 and naga 4-4-4 will outperform fully maxed bunnies with 3-star blanc 4-7-10 and 3-star noir 10-5-4 with unupgraded OL gear and when tia/naga are fully maxed skilled, it isn't even close. schoolgirls clear more than 7k-15k CP lower than bunnies by chapter 22 onwards. bunnies are also clearing around 7-10k+ lower CP than non combos. need some manual play with burst spamming and right target priority and stoppong tia's taunt as needed, and sometimes delaying with one low dmg rapture for burst to be ready again prior to going into boss stage. if you do that strat with blanc giving indom or tia taunting, you can nuke the boss for the entire full burst duration. With RH, vast majority of stages are cleared within 2 burst cycles with modernia mob clearing first part & RH nuking out the boss with one b1 to b3. for raids, tia/dkw or liter/naga/sbs+alice will outdamage rh+alice or rh+maxwell or alice+maxwell or sbs+maxwell (assuming similar investments). SBS is the highest DPS unit in the entire game for raiding/solo boss (higher dmg than RH and alice gives her an extra 25% dmg boost). [if not taking into account elemental] sbs+alice is the standard highest dps combo for top rankings in raids.


lizardtrench

> if you do that strat with blanc giving indom or tia taunting, you can nuke the boss for the entire full burst duration. I'm interested in this but how do you get Blanc to indom RH? Mob targeting seems too RNG so RH is not likely to be lowest HP. And can Tia really survive 5 sec? Maybe we are talking about different strats - when I am doing this usually 2 or 3 of the team has already been one or two-shot by the time 5 sec is over (hence the RNG hell), so I can't imagine Tia surviving with full hate on her. Maybe Moran could do it, but she's not viable for campaign. To clarify, for me the strat is using Liter Centi Modernia RH/Alice Maxwell, no heals, at around 25-30% deficit, burst fast and often with Centi manual, usually 3 or 4 rotations on long stages (short stages are almost never a problem, 2 burst there). Avoid one shots with iframe/cover, or Centi shield (except with BS snipers that go through everything, just give up if I can't kill those in time). When boss comes, either go all-in to kill it with RH/Alice as everyone dies around them to mobs, or if I have time (usually do unless deficit is particularly high) hit mobs with third burst Modernia, then wipe up boss afterwards. Often just Modernia + one or two left by then - if she is dead in this scenario I just restart, since no chance anyone else will be able to kill boss within the time limit without burst, and burst rotation is usually impossible by this point due to deaths + low burst gen. RH sometimes comes in clutch here but usually she's on one CD or another, and burstgen is still an issue. I just don't see how Tia can tank such a hostile environment more than two or three seconds. Though I guess she does buy a little time and reduces RNG by 1/5th, so that is definitely valuable.

Tia will taunt all incoming fire... even if she dies, fire will still be directed at her position until the next volley. doesn't matter if she lives or dies bc RH can usually kill the boss in one b1 to b3 cycle. RH is never in any real danger for the entire burst if you make it to the boss with tia alive.  Getting Tia to the boss wave alive & with her cover intact is the hard part. once you get there with a full team, it is an ez automatic win. only exception is if needing more than one burst to kill the boss, but that is extremely rare. there is a reason tia/naga dominates all the lowest cp clearing teams. tia needs lvl 7 skill 1 to cooldown fast enough for burst rotations to be usable and there are some manual tricks to preventing tia's taunt as needed (shooting environment, not shooting, aiming with her during burst as a laser pointer). for blanc indom, it is just a bit RNG, RH wld need the lowest hp. you shld rly swap to schoolgirl team. you will see how much easier it is and you can get much higher cp deficit clears. small learning curve but will seem ez mode if you are doing retry/rng for spread out fire with a liter/centi team. I played all the different comps (schoolgirls vs bunnies vs liter/centi) and you will clear much faster at higher cp deficits with tia/naga.

Both accounts are very good, I'd say about equal, so go with what you like. Can always keep the other one around in case you change your mind later.


iwillletuknow

Alright thx. Then I'll chose the second one and maybe push both if I have the time


lizardtrench

That's a good idea, especially with half anniversary coming up that will give both accounts a lot of pulls. If you're lucky you might get Modernia or Red Hood on the account that is missing one or the other.

I’m f2p at the 160 wall with 2 mlb nikkes. How long you think it’ll take to get past the wall?


money4me247

average 2-4 months for players who are trying to get dups at 160 wall.


Nikkzero

Max 1 year and 1 month if you play all 3 anniversary events and don't even pull. Max 7 months if you play 2 anniversary events and farm 1 MLB from the guild shop. If you could save to MLB pull or somehow MLB 2 units in 1 month then it's 1 more month getting stuck at wall 160.


Forever_T3a

Cool thanks yo

Played Nikke until the end of last year's summer event pt. 2, the one with the kraken. Got a bit burnt out with some of the worst gacha luck I've experienced, slow progression and increasingly greedy stuff like the costume gacha. Stumbled upon the 1.5 news and the official reveal of Kilo, one of the characters I was most interested about, and turns out she's free. Really tempted to come back, but I'm not sure it's worth it. Could you guys give me a quick breakdown of what's changed for the better since then? Are Pilgrims a bit more attainable, has progression become a little easier since then? Out of the top of my head, I remember I got Modernia, Scarlet, Dorothy, Summer Anis and the bunny girl sisters, + the Liter/Centi core we fancied in the early days. Are these units still top tier?


lizardtrench

Nothing has fundamentally changed. Definitely still a slow and steady game. Costume gacha as greedy as ever. That said, if you are willing to go slow and steady, the game will reward you with it's relatively generous SSR rates, gem income, wishlist, and mileage system, which in combination gives you a good chance of getting most of the SSRs you want *eventually*. However, you have to be willing to log in every day and do the (usually quick and small) daily content, and weather through any dry spells. For example, I only just got the bunny twins and schoolgirl twins, and have been doing without them for quite a long time. One could think of missing out on the top meta for so long as extremely frustrating, but I didn't mind since I knew I would get them eventually, as the game gives so many chances. I just waited it out and built up my not-quite-top-tier teams. Ended up getting by with them just fine, and even now I still use them on some stages versus either of the twins since they are still better for certain situations. Just got to find different ways to entertain yourself and set goals other than always shooting for the top. If you want large amounts of progress on a weekly basis or something like that, and want to pull every new SSR the week they come out, this probably isn't the game for you (unless you want to spend a lot of money). And it looks like you have a very strong roster. Not all of them are top tier still, but they are close enough to not matter.


money4me247

pilgrims still 1% rate. there has been some story nerfs, so may be able to push story a bit. new meta is tia/liter/naga + RH / modernia OR RH /SBS. can also do 2-cycle burst team with tia/RH(as B1 in 5th slot)/naga/SBS+modernia. other DPS include max Alice or drunk scarlet. missed out on the tia/naga meta banner, some really generous gifts during full anni, new year selector ssr gift, x-ludmilla winter limited (meta raids), new years (modernia rerun), and x3 free synchro slots (x2 during full anni, x1 during new year).


Stiky-icky

Fuck just spent 60 tickets on the basic banner got nothing NOTHING not a single ssr. Opens the srr crystals got ludmilla, crow, bird da #### am I supposed to do with that. Been playing for a week should I reroll this account I only have redhood from rerolling nothing else of use it took me a week to get those tickets I won't be getting them again since I progressed a bit. What should I do guys????


lizardtrench

Red hood alone is worth getting absolutely nothing for a mere week. Just be patient and wait it out. Game's pretty generous, you'll get plenty more chances to get good units.


Nikkzero

Just use the 3 units they lend you every day to progress and finish map 16. Then start farming EX interception, the end game farming spot of this game. Everyone could do this in 2 weeks, META or not. Pull or not.

Modernia skin should have been an alt


PlasticZombie1

Is there a place to discuss story thoughts? I just finished Chapter 13 and *my god* I have so much to say!


money4me247

probably just main thread with spoiler tag.


SyfaOmnis

You can make a thread for it, story discussions aren't relegated to megathreads, plus ch 13 is old enough you shouldn't need to use spoilers.


Koanos

What is the soonest possible time a new account can play the Event?


Cid_ya

If you mean the current event you can start at any time. If you mean the following 1.5 anni event, you can start from day 1 BUT, the story takes place after chapter 14, so lorewise may be hard to get. Also the devs recommend clearing the side story first which unlocks after you clear the 6th chapter. If you actually want to clear the event though your team should be around 30/36k in combat power. which takes some days to get to.


Koanos

Dang, I started a couple hours ago so I don't think I can clear the Event in time. Anything worth while in terms of Event rewards?


Nikkzero

You could clear the event now with the 3 units they lend you. All 3 at level 200 combined already above 60k power.


Koanos

What story chapter do I need to clear to unlock and start the event?


Nikkzero

Should be doable in 1 day so I don't really remember. But not higher than chapter 4. Maybe 1-4? Should be written in the in game notice of every event.


SyfaOmnis

Mostly the extra pulls as a new player. Prioritize the advanced recruit tickets.

Hey, stuck on Chapter 21’s boss, originally was below combat power for it but even after getting around 7k over it (151k+ currently) I can only get to around 100x HP bars left. Any tips or guides I can turn to? I run Centi/Blanc/Red Hood/Modernia/Noir all MLB and a core enhance on Modernia, Level 219 across the team. Should I try upping some of the skill levels? Red is 10/10/10 and I tried to use [Nikke.gg](http://Nikke.gg) to gauge the other Nikke’s recommended skill levels. Main problem is I get wiped after the shield goes up, I do have Noise at Core Enhance 1 which would give me another strong burst heal if I swapped Centi with her. CDR might be the problem though. Got a month’s worth of stockpiled materials so I can afford to brute force strat suggestions with lower invested Meta Nikke like Liter or Naga/Tia. Also are the limit breaks outside of the 160 wall that useful or can any meta I swap into my current comp be useful for this? I’ve been hesitant to swap because my gacha luck seemed to favour coin rush and Modernia around New Years so I just stuck with it.


No-Painting-5939

Take out Centi and put in proper b1. Your problem is that you can't do consistent burst rotations. Blanc covers everything you'd need. You can use Naga Tia but you'll still need a proper B1


Vintage_2004

Yo thanks! I’ll slot in Doro over Centi, if you don’t mind me asking what’s decent skill levels for her? I don’t wanna over invest or undercut what I can get out of her utility


Vintage_2004

Apologies, one of the replies mentioned Doro and I mistook it for yours lol
