IS NIKKE F2P FRIENDLY? HOW TO GET MORE GEMS! | NIKKE Goddess of Victory

[@Willias]

The trick for Nikke is to fill up your friend list and keep it full of active players. You'll get 3 free pulls a day that way. It's on a reduced rate banner, but it all adds up.

[@leonardogonzalez5016]

Coop needs to have its own icon similar to when union raid starts, especially since it was only a week ago I found out, new updates can come out RANDOMLY in the day, not when the "new day" starts. For example, I know for a fact, as someone in NA. EAST. My games dailies reset are at 3pm, but sometimes an update can come earlier in the day, which means I can miss the "previous" day events or rewards because it's a "new day"

[@Dimeric]

This is similar to me. I'm in Atlantic time 1 hour ahead the reset for me is at 4pm but Coop always shows up at like 3 or 4 in the morning. I only ever notice it when I see it rotating in the little banner on the top left. It's very easy to miss the first day if you're not looking out for it. On a related Note... what takes so long to pay out the broken cores? It's there for like a week expired, I always click on it thinking it's a new one. ^^;

[@leonardogonzalez5016]

@Dimeric 100%, the raids are only 3 days but you for some reason the redeem thing is like a week long???? Lol

[@oFalKs]

Yes, absolutely! They need to make sure people know Co-op is happening! It's hidden away in the corner with the fucking rotating banners and it sucks. Last time I missed the first day because I completely forgot about it since I logged in right after the update was done and it wasn't live... They can do a better job with the menus for sure.

[@equo54]

Started playing when PC-client released. On 01.01.2024 got every character in this game. 100% ftp. Can't say I'm extreemely lucky, for example, didn't get any copies of Red Hood in 200 pulls, or Summer Annis in 100 (both bought in ticket shop), but overall, Nikke is probably the most ftp-friendly game I was playing.

As a day 1 F2P player. I can say this game is F2P friendly. Giving so many gems & tickets. Also the dupes system only boost the Nikkes a decent stats, unlike other games where dupes can greatly increase a huge stats on characters & enhance their skills, as for some u even need to get their signature weapon also. Most of my Nikke are just lb2 or 3 but still stomp so many teams with core+ Nikkes even the good core+7 one and now i'm in top 3-7 in special arena. For others contents low lb Nikke still perform well. This game is a masterpiece

Started near the end of summer anis banner and haven't had many issues with summons. Coming from someone who played Sao Md, Dokkan Battle, FEH, and HI3, Nikke is the most f2p friendly I've played thus far. I broke my f2p status during anniversary just by the simple fact that Shift Up actually listens to the community and gives back to the community with free summons and giveaways!

[@sarkynn711]

the thing with special arena is that, I started playing the game day 1, but i stopped playing like 1 year ago before coming back, meaning that i'm matched up against ppl that have more than 10 times my CP...

As a day 1 f2p, I am at rank 3 or 4 in special arena most of the time. I thank SU for changing the reward and bracket system. That is why I will get Moran, just so I can maintain my rank. I’m sure Moran would be great in PVP like that of Jackal.

Crazy how there is such a lack of PVP content. You should do regularly videos going over recommended team comps and how new units fair, etc. PVP is absolutely vital for being one of the only few ways to earn gems seasonally (in addition to SR). Also definitely a content niche since no one else is doing it.

[@BrovvnDust]

As a new whale to this game, how often does Shift Up released those Special Recruitment Packages? I assumed it will be every two weeks whenever a new nikke banner shows up.

[@Dimeric]

Just to add to the math, you also level your commander level about 30 times for 50 Gems each? So... 1500 Gems? As for solo raid even at level 220+ I usually only finish the first 6 stages, never the last one at least not yet which puts me at 700 Gems the first one before you start getting frames. There's also bond stage gems, Ex stage gems, side quest gems, but I get you probably didn't count them since they run out eventually. *Edit Correction, I just leveled up and it's 30 gems so 900 Gems.

[@alancornejo318]

So if I installed Nikke with pre-registration, does that mean I have to with with guys who were also pre-registered. Especially because I left the game for like 6~8 months and came back, and once again left, and once again came back. Does this means that messed up?

11:16 keep in mind that you had to be a day 1 player as a f2p. Me as a dolphin or even tuna player (just paid 30-day only cristals) with just almost 4 months playing, managed to pull that 10%-15% tier (looked for 5%-10% for tier II frame, got 10.2% 😔)

[@pawacoteng]

This sounds contradictory. Game is FTP friendly and P2W unfriendly. Game is very expensive to those who want to buy gems or pulls. Premium skins will take $60 USD (yes, you get other tuff). Guaranteed top gear is $100 for one set! But I don't mind, rewards the grinders. I am a mini-whale. I will sometimes buy the advance recruit pack for banners I don't like just to save up for a meta banner. (game also scales against you the more you spend, i.e. the more you spend the less you get proportionately)

i have a question just started 2 days ago and i got miranda , 2 copies of dolla , 2 copies of leona and laplace. got all the sr ones too. i just kept pulling on leona banner to get more coppies bc of ur 160 wall video. is there any unit on the SR worth investing and who should i be looking for next? and what unitu think ishould get from liberation? i find Dolla and Laplace really strong . also would love any feedback or advice

[@Dimeric]

N102 is probably the best SR as well as Anis she has among the top burst generation in the game even above most all SSR meaning you'll be able to burst 1 2 3 quicker, helpful for pvp. I wouldn't go too far into levelling their skills this early 4 4 4 at most but you're probably better off levelling top tier Nikke's when you get them. For Liberation Guilty is the most useful but you can pick the one you like the best. Focus on levelling 5 characters you'll be able to match the others to the lowest of your 5 with the syncho device not too far into the game. If you have to you can move all the levels off of one character onto another when you get closer to the 160 wall or when you get better characters. If you have a choice to pick Core Dust pick Core Dust, it might be tempting to choose battle data but battle data becomes pretty much infinite down the line where core dust will be needed for each level over 200 and usually ever 20 levels before that. The best Burst 1's are Liter, Dorothy, Tia, Pepper, Noise, Volume, Miranda, Rapunzel. Burst 2 Blanc, Naga, Dolla, Rupee, Centi, Marciana. Burst 3 Scarlet, BS Scarlet, Modernia, Alice, Red Hood, Noir, Maxwell, Privaty, Harran, Drake, Laplace. I didn't list any of the limited units or Collab units since you probably won't be able to get them at least for awhile. Check the tier lists their better visually then this list and there's more information there. The key is to make sure your timers flow nicely together, Example Burst 1 20 Second into Burst 2 20 Second into Burst 3 40 Second. If you have a 40 second or 60 second Burst 1 you'll need two Burst 1's to keep the flow otherwise you'll have long spaces with no bursts and messed up timers. Set ups of 2 1 2 or 1 1 3 work best.

[@1414Meshal]

@@Dimeric thank you for ur response,, truly helpful. I got another copy of leona so i only need 1 to max her but my friend told me not to worry too much about maxing her and save for a bettter nikke since the next banner is a skip in his opinion. Not sure what u think. Also got 2 more ssr units but was told they were useless Julia and Rosanna. I didn't fully get ur last point about the burst but i did feel like i had some moments with burst down time I am running now laplace dolla leona julia and miranda. I have Rosanna too but i dont use her along with all the sr units. Can u suggest some teams regardless of rarety plz. Also updated my wishlist according to ur recommendations. Thanks alot

[@Dimeric]

Okay, So Miranda is a 20 second Burst 1, Dolla and Leona are both 20 second burst 2's, and Laplace and Julia are 40 second Burst 3's. The way your team is set up is 1 2 2 3 3. This does work but most of your damage comes from your burst 3's. In your current set up your have and extra Burst 2. 3 Burst 3's will make your team do more damage. Dolla lowers the time for burst with her skills and is actually one of the better burst 2's. Leona is one part of a team Nikke(Shift Up) is trying to make along with Tove and a New version of Privaty that isn't out yet but soon, where Leona's pellet skill will make New Privaty do more damage. She's part of a Shotgun team. Which is okay, you will need 3 4 5 teams depending on how long or how far you plan on playing the game so she is not wasted. As for getting Leona dupes(copies) does that mean you have Leona and two more copies? So she is 2 Stars? If that is the case since you've already gone that far one more copy will MLB(Max Limit Break) Leona and she will be able to level to 200. In order to pass the 160 wall you will need 5 characters at 3 star. So to get 1 this early will be helpful later on. Rosanna is a 40 second Burst 1 who's only real purpose is a special skill where she attacks 2 Nikke at the same time. Used against a certain team in pvp, so she is not very helpful outside of that one situation. The next banner is Moran who also seems to be a pvp Nikke who is very tank oriented. No one knows for sure how good she'll be but she looks strong on paper. It really depends on if you care about the pvp part of the game or if you're just collecting Nikke's if you choose to skip or not.@@1414Meshal Edit* Team suggestions - The better teams are Tia Liter BS Scarlet Naga Alice, Liter Blanc Red Hood Noir Modernia, or Dorothy Mariana Scarlet Maxwell Privaty. Pepper or Volume Noise Rupee Harran Helm. Any of these combinations were the burst 1 2 and 3 work together with the timers. Example Noise is a 40 Second Burst 1 but a very strong healer... So you need a 20 second burst 1, otherwise you'll need to wait 40 seconds to burst again but if you also have a 20 second burst 1 your timers will work with a 20 burst 2 and 2 40 sec burst 3's. Some of the characters need their other half Blanc is 60 seconds but paired with her sister Noir she is 20 seconds. Tia works best with her classmate Naga but also requires another burst 1. Tia has a unique skill were you go from burst 1 into another burst 1 before going to 2 and then 3. So, you'll need Liter or Volume or Pepper, Miranda will work as well.

[@1414Meshal]

yes i only need 1 copy to max leona and i will go for the last D . btw if u mlb a character SSR can u still get them from recruiting ? i feel like i miss out on laplace burst sometime because in the first rotation the auto goes Miranda Dolla Laplace then on the second it goes Miranda Leona Julia or can u activate two bursts of the same type together not sure if i am missing something I honestly just want to lvl up as soon as possible so collecting characters is not my priority for now. really appreciate ur guidance @@Dimeric

[@Dimeric]

Yes, that is the way it works. The burst 3's are 40 seconds so Laplace will go every other turn. Also, yes you could end up getting more Leona's. After MLB you can Core 1 to 7 which is Max. Every character has the first, then 3 copies to MLB and 7 more to Max. 11 times in total, if you happen to get a 12th it will turn into 6000 body labels, like how extra R's and SR's do the same but for a lot less.

It's just 10 pulls in 1 month, while the game gave you 20 pulls from 1 event and there are 2 events in a month. Not even counting the small gems you get from dailies, arena, raid etc. I bought monthly while playing genshin because without that, I won't be able to draw my waifu and I only draw the mommy type of character which only out one every 3-4 months. And sometimes I'm still struggling to get the mommies even though I saved that much. But in nikke, you are almost guaranteed to get every character if you play from the start. Will buy skin if I have some spare money.

[@RayyanButt-j8r]

[@12Ger13]

I would say that it is not super f2p friendly but for this: the low rate percentage for gacha pulls, regardless of the possible amount of gems and tickets you get, in the end if you can't unlock the NIKKE you want is "pointless", specially when you need 4 copies of the same NIKKE to unlock her power and on some events (like the Nier Automata collab) you can only get them there and that's it, which kinda disappoints. I still remember for example the huge amount of advance recruit voucher we got for the 1st year Anniversary, like 70 pulls and I got 2 SSRs from those I think, one Red Hood and I think Emma, so not much. Would be nice if they increased a little more the percentage for SSRs and also increase the amount of Mileage tickets you receive from pulls, but that seems a pipe dream as the company would presume players won't spend as much as they do now (for the ones that spend).
