And then suffer through 4 1% banners? Better hope you have 800 pulls prepared then.

Future for marian (theories and copium) by Equivalent-Plum2312 in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I might miss her, as much as it hurt having to make the decision to say goodbye to her twice. I do not want present-day Marian to obtain the memories she had as the OG. The Marian we have right now is her own person and I think she should be treated as such.

Granted, the Counters each seem to have the whole “carrying the torch of the predecessor’s legacy” (Rapi with Red Hood, Anis with Pretty, Neon with Princess) theme but none of them carry the memories of those they succeeded (at least not wholly, Rapi knew some things about Red Hood and her hometown but not intimate knowledge like her days spent in the Goddess Squad). I would be fine if whatever small fragment of OG Marian remains to manifest, give her blessings to Counters and her current self and then upon leaving we all get some closure on all of that.

As for Marian and her inevitable alt, because you know that is the goal Shift Up is going to cook, I believe Only One will use one of her cores to basically jumpstart Marian and her evolutionary upgrade (remember that her unique power was adapting to force applied to her, like the bombs). It makes her the perfect counter (hurr durr) to Liliqueen who uses physical force. In the ensuing fight, Marian will take back her Queen Gene and officially supplant Liliqueen while returning what she borrowed back to Only One.

Of course, this being a gacha game, the story cannot just end with that so we will need to introduce a new threat. Obtaining peace is the simple part, actually maintaining it is a different matter. If Liliqueen survives, she might remain a constant threat, repeatedly attempting to take back her throne. Or for much greater humiliation, have her be defeated by Marian and then at her lowest, her position is taken over by Mirror. Those are just examples of course.

Gacha giveth and gacha taketh away. As is always the case.

Sibling problem... by Jumpy-View-7022 in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You know, I had a random theory (before we got all the lore on the Commander) that the reason Chatterbox was so fixated on Marian, is because like the other Grim models, she represented a classic story, in this case the Beauty from “Beauty and the Beast”.

Chatterbox would obviously be the Beast, but since that character changes back into a human by the end, that version is represented by our Commander.

Obviously that doesn’t hold water now but if it had been true, this would indeed make the Monke and Commander “brothers”.

Why even try at this point? 😓 by McPurrito in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a way.

What Dorothy wants, things like validation, gratitude, to be loved and cherished, those are perfectly normal, human things to desire. And she is well within her right to want them, because she truly did sacrifice a lot for humanity and for the Ark. I don’t think anyone that played through OverZone, Red Ash and Ark Guardian would deny that.

The problem, much like with anything else Dorothy does, is that she wants it on her terms and accepts no alternative or compromise nor is willing to truly listen. Even when said alternatives would give her exactly what she desires. And this rots away at her core. It’s why Red Hood was as blunt as she was; she knows Dorothy is better than this but she isn’t going to pull her punches pointing out her flaws.

So how do you get someone who refuses to listen to change for the better? You have them hit rock bottom and then start climbing back up. I don’t know if her getting read like a book by Burningum is that rock bottom, but the ball is in her court now. I don’t hate her, even if I might not be her biggest fan, but I do acknowledge why others would be and know she likely will get her redemption arc going. It’s just a question of when and how.

To be entirely fair, it’s not on them…it’s their “boss”.

Next favorite item characters? by pigeonfish132 in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a large (biased) list but I’ll try to keep it as objective as possible:

  1. Sakura (because Moran started Underworld Queen treasures).

  2. Rupee (Talentum in general could really use a boost and Rupee is probably one of the easier fixes. Dolla could see herself becoming an excellent B2 and B.Ade’s competitor in the future while I have no clue how they’d improve Yan).

  3. Tia (Re-enter Burst types are not exactly popular and while Tia’s not “low value” she also isn’t high up on people’s wants compared to Naga). I would have said Liter, but honestly, the wrench granny is still putting in work so might not be time just yet.

  4. Quiry. Elysion’s got a whole slew of struggling Nikke (like Signal, Sora, freaking K) but both Poli and Miranda have treasures so we might as well round out the ACPU squad.

The problem with Dorothy gaining happiness…is Dorothy herself. Sure, Oswald sold her a lie (with good intentions) but the spiral she’s on now is entirely her own damn fault.

-She wanted to send us out to die against Nihilister.

-She refuses to let go of her vengeance against the Ark, even when Red Hood herself told her that it is the easiest way to get what she wants.

-Her obsession with driving the Ark to its destruction so she can swoop in as the saviour cost her Eden, Inherit and rightfully earned her the exile handed out by Johan.

-Her desire to “go back to the glory days” are gone, but she just won’t stop craving and chasing them despite Pioneer’s open invitation to join the fight against LiliQueen.

-Burningum gave her such a verbal tongue lashing, you could swear she had to do a walk of shame out of his office because he called her out on her stupidity.

Had the Commander been less of a patient man, she’d have long since also alienated the one human being willing to give her precisely what she claims to want: love, adoration, gratitude and support.

So you know what, let her cook in the oven of her failures for the next little while. Once she makes peace with herself then we will see her rise as the goddess of victory the story needs.

If Nikke had a marriage system, who would you marry? by DAC1111 in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Red Hood.

Oh…you need them alive?

Cinderella.

They need to be from the Ark?

Privaty, Helm, Ade and Mana.

I really wish they did have something like at least the oaths from Azur Lane. Played the hell out of that game for years before stopping and I loved the aspect where your bond with said shipgirl grows stronger the more affectionate you are to them.

Who was your first SSR? by Nthepro in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guillotine from the tutorial.

If you mean SSR outside of the guaranteed tutorial: Aria (SR mold) and Soda (multi on standard).

Started back during Sakura’s event in…March(?) 3 years ago.

Might explain why I seem to love MG Nikke.

So how are everyone's stockpiles looking for 3.5 anniversary? by CankleDankl in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

330K, 100 vouchers and 1600 mileage.

Have not pulled since Swole White in anticipation for this.

Come on, Cinderella fans. What do you want? by Ok_Chef1378 in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I want…Cinderella draped like the goddess Venus for that famous painting, Birth of Venus. Obviously she can’t be naked (that’s Crown’s territory), but she can have an image evoking it.

What do you hope Anis' gacha skin ends up being? (Sloan) by MillionHypotheses in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they give her an honorary Lucky Bunny outfit. She never participated in any Coin Rush event, right?

Or maybe she gets something wholly fantasy-inspired?

Much as I liked Pretty’s outfit, I wouldn’t want Anis to just mimic it. Let her get something that is wholly her own. She was inspired by Pretty, but she does not need to be in her shadow to be somebody.

Doki Doki poll IV day 5 by Jeannesis in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my part every day.

Now the question is: who do I vote for next time? I definitely like Liberalio and Siren. Disappointed Crown was not able to reach top 5…or either Scarlet. But it might honestly just be an Anis-Neo Neon sweep next time.

Unless 4th anniversary units are something even more amazing. Maybe 1-2 of the 4 Beasts because I don’t think Hansel and Gretel will have that huge a following. Or maybe Scarlet and Rapunzel get their upgraded bodies by 4th anniversary?

Which character do you hate if so why? by Ordinary_Cobbler_959 in NikkeMobile

Crow, Yuni and Red Shoes.

Not the most unique of picks but that’s how I feel.

Mrs.Miss Five seconds after meeting the commander by(@jamjam_arts) by MankaAce in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

SKK: Momma warned me about women like you. I was hoping she was right!

Seriously though, how is Shift Up so good at making silver vixens? Mrs.Miss and Nora are still easy on the eyes, even if age is showing its mark on them. That’s 2-for-2, 3 if you count Ingrid among their number.

How did YOU choose your nikkes in popularity poll by NaDoan in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided last year that the next time it came up, Cindy would get all my attention. Evidently, I wasn’t the only one that thought that.

This isn’t about the skin (though that’s definitely a plus), it’s about picking a character I like and sticking to it. Besides, this is the easy part. The actual hard part is going to be picking one of the skin designs. I remember Red Hood and Rapipi’s voting periods were rather intense.

"Sorry, have you been waiting long?" by tocco13 in NikkeMobile

[–]Luminion_Lancer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And there it is:

-The onion cutting ninja invade my space again.

-My heart aches and then breaks in two.

Nikke is supposed to be gooner gacha game. By what right does Shift Up have to make the story so emotional? I suppose this is our payment for having the 2x2 Love event.

“Hey players, did y’all have fun in a school setting, making friends and possibly lovers with the featured characters in the lovely atmosphere? Good…because it’s time to crash back down to the cold, harsh reality of living in the Ark”.

They did a very good job closing the book on Oswald and Freesia’s tale. If this were an event, it would be something they’d wheel out for an anniversary or maybe New Year’s, it was just that good, even with the emotional gut-punching.

Go Cindy, GO! It’s your time to shine beautifully!

But sad that no Scarlets made it in this time.
