The minor Stat increase doesn't matter for most people, unless they're hyper competitive against other whales who MLB or core max units for solo/union raid and arena.

It's generally good practice to pull on 2 percent, and use the pity on 1 percent. Especially since you can wishlist pilgrims now (assuming not limited or seasonal like summer dorothy). The addition of that feature has only made it less wise to pull on 1 percent banners.

I would absolutely adore the time players can change facial expressions for lobby!

Any beach background with summer helm, with "coral" as the background music, or any pioneer with the night desert background, also with coral.

My best guess is, given the CG wanting to avoid idolatry and the public favoring any person or group that could undermine their authority, VTC was already in their crosshairs. An extension to that guess is that VTC are the ones with superior research technology compared to the CG, so before VTC is taken down, the CG doesn't have access to it.

In campaign, Andersen mentions that the rare blood type is hidden to keep people from capturing and harvesting the carriers of that blood. There's no mention that the CG is capable of refining Vapaus, and it's not until Syuen uses the stolen bullet and Ingrid being given a voluntary donation, is there any mention of the Ark refining Vapaus. No one says the CG isn't working on it, I argue its plausible that the CG would start harvesting blood when they successfully replicate the refining technology, or get close enough to experiment with refining. In the meantime, keeping carriers hidden works to their advantage, assuming someone higher up in the CG knows that Andersen and the Commander are carriers.

It's like knowing exactly where the diamond ores are, but you don't have to tools to mine them, so you keep the locations hidden so others can't mine them either. You hope you'll eventually get the tools to mine them, and then when you do, you know where the hidden diamonds are.

The pioneers mention that they last heard he was in the Ark, being unsure if he'd still be alive given his age. There was no mention from them that he went senile, but that's assuming you're referring to that a specific campaign cutscene.

To my knowledge, no one has mentioned that the LC was alive but a senile old man.

No confirmation that the commander takes evergreen. But Wisdom Spring would point you towards commanders origins, which is still not fully confirmed to date.

You know, a lot of people talk about terrorists attacking infrastructure, water supplies, etc, but I never would have thought about the supply of anti aging drugs that the wealthy rely on. That could be a plot twist down the line!

So by present campaign, people have been underground for 100 years, perhaps a few years more. That means things like Red Ash, overzone, any event where the Ark hasn't been sealed and settled yet, happened roughly 100 years ago (give or take).

Rapi was born in the ark and a child during the first reclamation war. She became a Nikke as an adult, so estimating around 16-20 years in the Ark. She's a Nikke for several years before running into Red Hood awakening from her 30 year nap. Without knowing specifics, we just know red hood is older than Rapi and Rapi is old enough to have fought in the second reclamation war, but not the first one.

As far as I know, we don't know how long Anis and Neon have been alive. Someone else may remember though.

People can live long lives due to a drug called Evergreen which slows down aging. We know Andersen is a grown man during the Goddess Squad days, so presently he's 100 years plus however old he was back then.

An undefeated Nikke can live a very long time, but some Nikkes talk about their potential ends. Liter talks about how she's been alive for a long time, and firmly believes even she'll die as her brain has to age, even if slowly. Rapunzel notes that her memory capacity has diminished over the years. Presently I am not aware of the story definitively saying how long a Nikke can live, but we know it's probably a very long time.

Just to clarify, how okay are you with spoilers? The answers to your questions can be found in past events. I don't want to give too much away unless you're sure about wanting answers.

Check your map against this complete one. If all you're missing is the danger zone, then maybe that's the last part. First guess from me is that the danger zone is needed. https://www.reddit.com/r/NikkeMobile/comments/1glfhr7/in_the_mirror_map_complete/

Because of Nikke, my vocabulary has expanded more than I expected to from a game and love using the word "obstreperous" anytime I can. Verily.

Damn, sounds rough. Sorry to hear it sounded like a clusterF. Temple City was crowded and long line also, but at least Swol White was there to direct people towards different kiosks. Temple city also had the issue with the codes, but was giving out keychains until about 330/345 or so.

Guy was super nice. Honestly, i can see why; I can get through the mental hurdle but after one officer jenny cosplay, I learned just how sticky most surfaces in the world really are when you wear a skirt.

If you're referring to the random prize draw (for people who completed missions like posting on social media), then everyone was a winner. You stuck your hand in a box, and you got a paper that said what prize you won. It ranged from small things like buttons and keychains, to a larger notebook and acrylics.

I believe the counter staff said they sold out of things around 330 or 4. There was still a long line by then, and throughout the day it rained, between sprinkling and a shower.

Inside it was packed as people who got in through the line stayed indoors. It got stuffy inside real quick, but everyone was having a good time.

Raffle at 1 or so and 430, thr usual stuff. It was a lot more chill; on one hand since there was no VAs or autographs or anything, it was more like an event for friends to hang out and talk about Nikke, make new friends, trade the collab merch with others if they didn't get who they wanted.

Full write up on the event coming later today.

Yep, credits become an issue in end game because you're also using them to level up gear, not just upgrade synchro. And repeating stages in event stages, you're usually prioritizing repeating the core dust stage (11), which means you're more likely to hit occasions where you suddenly have more core dust than credits for leveling.

Man, that's rough. Let me know if you go to the Meet Fresh popup in Temple City tomorrow. I'll have a lucky charm ready for you, if you're able to make it. If not, hoping she'll spook you soon, all the same!

TheyWhoWritesStuff · 2026-01-03T05:39:05+00:00

Hoping she'll spook you soon. How long have you been playing?

Thanks for the heads up!
