Q. Should I reroll?
It's not required, but it's good to do if you can.
In Nikke, how hard early progress is can vary a lot depending on the SSR characters you get at the start.
In particular, securing characters that let you build a stable Burst Chain or a strong DPS makes early Story progress much smoother.
However, Nikke has the following traits.
- The SSR rate is relatively high.
- You get many recruit tickets as you play.
- In the long run, you'll collect a wide range of Nikkes.
So
- If you want to start quickly, play without rerolling
- If you want even a slightly better start, reroll
is roughly how to think about it.
Q. What is the SSR rate?
On Standard Recruit, the SSR rate is 4%.
The rough rate breakdown is as follows.
| Rarity | Rate |
|---|---|
| SSR | 4% |
| SR | 43% |
| R | 53% |
On Pick-Up Recruit, the pickup character appears at a portion of the SSR rate.
There's also a mileage system:
after 200 Pick-Up Recruit pulls, you can exchange 200 Gold Mileage for that pickup Nikke.
Q. What is the 160 wall?
Nikke has a growth cap commonly called the "160 wall."
A Nikke's max level is determined by her number of Limit Breaks.
| Limit Break | Max Level |
|---|---|
| 0 LB | 80 |
| 1 LB | 120 |
| 2 LB | 160 |
| 3 LB | 200 |
In other words, if you can't reach 3 LB (3 Limit Breaks), your level stops at 160.
The Synchro Device
works based on the lowest level among your 5 highest-level Nikkes, so
all 5 of those Nikkes must be 3 LB to grow beyond level 200.
That's why many players call this point the 160 wall.
Ultimately, to keep raising levels,
securing 5 SSR Nikkes at 3 LB becomes the key goal.
Q. How do I increase Synchro slots?
You can increase Synchro Device slots in the following ways.
1. Academy Research
Doing Synchro-related research at the Academy increases slots.
2. Using Gems
Synchro slots can be expanded further using Gems.
Synchro slots directly affect character growth efficiency, so
expand them at least enough to fit all your main characters.
Q. Is Core Dust really that scarce?
"Yes."
Core Dust is one of the scarcest currencies in Nikke growth.
Consumption rises sharply especially in the following ranges.
- After level 120
- After level 160
- After level 200
You can get Core Dust in the following ways.
- Outpost rewards
- Event shops
- General Shop purchases
- Co-op Operation shop
- Event stages
The longer you play, the more often Core Dust runs short before Battle Data or Credits do.
That's why many guides
recommend securing Core Dust as a priority whenever possible.
Q. Which Nikkes should I raise?
In Nikke, the Burst Chain structure is very important.
The basic team composition is as follows.
Burst I → Burst II → Burst III
Using Bursts in this order triggers Full Burst status.
So your team must include at least 1 Nikke each of Burst I / II / III.
A typical team composition looks like this.
- Burst I: 1 Nikke
- Burst II: 1-2 Nikkes
- Burst III: 2-3 Nikkes
Burst III characters deal most of the damage, so
DPS are usually built around Burst III.
Early on, it's good to raise characters by these criteria.
- A team that can chain Burst I / II / III
- DPS-focused growth
- Make active use of SR characters too
Also, thanks to the Synchro Device system,
you don't need to raise many characters at once.
Early on, the usual strategy is to focus on raising just 5 Nikkes
and put the rest in Synchro slots.
