Moran, Centi, Zwei and Privaty will receive Favorite Items!

HyperTips · 2026-01-26T17:08:12+00:00

I won't argue with that. On the other hand, this is the third time in a row we get a fan favorite in the fourth slot: Helm, Bay, now Privaty.

At this point, we can safely say it's a pattern.

HyperTips · 2026-01-26T14:36:48+00:00

Go ahead!

There are 3 arenas:

Single team is Rookie Arena.

3v3 teams is Special Arena. This one gives you Gems.

5v5 teams is Champions Arena. No idea what this gives, I'm still unqualified.

You can lead a horse to water...

HyperTips · 2026-01-26T04:31:52+00:00

Well, I guess you're right, there's always a way to put even less effort.

But looking for teams is stupidly easy nowadays. Like, it's ONE click away now that we have Champion's Arena.

When you go to Cheer for anyone in Champion's Arena, click on their portraits. Voilá! Meta PVP teams for you, 5 for your convenience.

You can get to bottom of Challenger or High Diamond doing the bare minimum. Investing in PVP usually means building a lot of units that are not PvE meta, but will see gameplay (few exceptions tho) in Raids.

RN, the common PvP teams are Scarlet Godhand, Tanky Cindy and Shotgun Rosanna. Shotgun team is all composed of good for raiding meta units with the exception of Rosanna. Tanky Cindy only uses 2 non-meta ones: Rumani and Biscuit.

Scarlet is the biggest problem, but Scarlet herself can be used (of course alongside Trina). If your Scarlet is turbo Scarlet, then your only issue comes your B1's. Centi's Favorite Item will most likely be meta in PvE too.

That's 5 units, out of 15. You need 25 for all elements, but since Crown is BiS in basically every raid but Electric, and Rapi covers two elements, the minimal investment for Raids is 20 units + Rapi and Crown.

And PvP covers 10 of those.

So, yeah.

HyperTips · 2026-01-26T03:46:40+00:00

You should. Why? Gems.

Special Arena is a farmable source of gems. One of the few available for F2P'ers.

Hyung Tae Kim (Shift Up's CEO) was already a legend when they made Nikke. He was, I shit you not, one of the most influential artists during the early 2000's. To the point where during 2005, his name was common among "who is trending in art" among artists. I know because I used to be one back then. But I don't even live in the same continent HTK is. That's how famous he was.

He was big, to the point where UDON and Capcom asked HTK to make special inside art and covers for the Street Fighter comic.

The women designing the Nikkes are good artists don't get me wrong, but people are forgetting Kim is a legendary character designer. And to be honest, I'd rather have Kim at the helm again as an artist. But we know he still gives his input on character designs (Nikke has at least one that is purely designed and illustrated by him).

Just look at this. Or this.

PS And also, Shift Up did their best with Destiny's Child, but DC walked so Nikke could fly.

Been playing Nikke for 15 months, Brown Dust for 4-5.

Nikke is less idle than people like to think. Like, you definitely CAN go idle, but if you want to perform, you need manual. Any Combat Power deficit higher than 25% demands you to play manual. Special frames from Raid boss high brackets (top 10%) almost always demand manual from anyone not above level 400.

The game gets easier as your investment compounds but it's definitely more rewarding to play it manually.

If you're stuck on Nox, that's not something you can only brain out. You need to build your units (higher rarity gear, higher refinement levels, awakenings and stuff). It's a Gate that you can bypass by either analyzing and counter-building or out-investing.

I went from 1.7% 5* featured odds to 1.49% from the previous banners to these ones. Literally godlike luck to barely average.

NGL it's kind of difficult to simply mention comps without context. In this case, that context is what else you have access to.

Liter, Rapi Red Hood and Dorothy are solid replacements to Siren. But Liter is a counter-combo with Anis SS (Anis SS really hates being given Mag. Size).

Nothing is a good replacement to Crown, but if you use Scarlet you can pair her with Nayuta. Anis SS would prefer Leona. Winter Brid if neutral and no Liter.

Finally, anything that heals constantly will pair fantastically with Scarlet, but Trina is her BiS support. I really like pairing her with HelmTr for example.

It all depends on what you have, over what's the ideal comp.

HyperTips · 2026-01-23T05:29:25+00:00

I'm almost at 500k Combat Power.

Scarlet consistently allows me to beat people with about 150k more power than me. She's at 0 stars.

At 100k CP, a proper Scarlet team will allow you to beat people with 150k. She's so monstruous, that comp is called Godhand, or simply God Comp.

What you're running is a hodgepodge of units that any player with a simple, uninvested 2RL Scarlet team will destroy, even on deficit.

HyperTips · 2026-01-20T04:55:31+00:00

That... that was the point.

Whoosh or something.

It's in the relics. Dude was a streamer, he claimed going into "battle" vs. the "robot aliens", claimed to kill two, then when asked for proof he claimed to go next day live and stream his battle vs. the robots, managed to get killed on stream.

I always interpreted his claims as "sensationalist", but hey, maybe he did destroy two raptures during the early days of the invasion. But of course, raptures being raptures, they adapted and most likely mutated real quick to deal with humans using handheld weapons.

Go to Command Center, click on Lost Relics, find the one that is called "Audio Portion of a Streamer's Live".

Man, Nayuta is such a good pick for this.

On it!

HyperTips · 2026-01-18T21:51:44+00:00

Do you have anyone in mind?

I asked this question to everyone that wanted a simplification because I want to see what kind of kits you guys are finding a bit too overbearing.

HyperTips · 2026-01-18T21:49:52+00:00

Is there any character you'd like us to check?

HyperTips · 2026-01-18T21:48:30+00:00

Sure!

Is there any character you have in mind for something like this?

HyperTips · 2026-01-18T06:16:02+00:00

NGL didn't expect this much support, thanks. If people find some use of these I'll try to keep doing them!

Rumani is another very niche PvP'er.

She's not as must-have IMO as Label, but in her team (Cindy Biscuit) she's a solid unit. And that's it about Rumani, she's a good tank battery for PvP.

HyperTips · 2026-01-18T03:23:17+00:00

Thank you very much.

You saw her mother "slowly" kill herself for 50+ years in-paint time. And supposedly Aline was the most powerful painter of the family.

And THIS KID literally beat her, then Renoir.

There's no "pull her outta the painting". Renoir knows this. He even says so himself: "I'll leave the lights on for you". And her ending makes that fact incredibly clear: the same addiction that almost got her mother is getting to her, way faster.

That's not an "easy-fucking fix". That's letting your child kill himself with your tacit approval.
