NikkeHubBefore You Start - Reroll Guide
This article was translated into English by AI from the Korean version. View original (Korean)
Overview
Collection games, Nikke included, have characters commonly called must-haves. In Nikke too, starting with these characters makes the game far smoother than starting without them.
To get them, players create multiple accounts and pull repeatedly until the character they want appears, a process called rerolling (reset marathon).
In the community, starting the game without rerolling and without securing core characters is sometimes called an 'illegal takeoff'.
This document explains what rerolling is, how to do it, and what to aim for.

Details
When You Should Reroll
Whether you own a must-have Nikke can greatly change how hard the game is, so rerolling before you start is generally recommended if possible.
In particular, early Story progress speed and stability can differ a lot.
However, since Nikke is structured so you collect many Nikkes over time, starting without rerolling is not impossible either.
If rerolling is too much hassle, you could also take over someone else's account, but that method is not covered in this document.
How Long Rerolling Takes
The time it takes varies greatly with luck and your target conditions.
- With good luck, you can succeed in 1~2 attempts.
- With high target conditions, you may need dozens of attempts or more.
Generally, one reroll cycle takes about 20~30 minutes.
Must-Have List
As of this writing, the Nikkes frequently mentioned as reroll targets are as follows. Many Nikkes perform great once they get their Favorite Item, but obtaining a Favorite Item takes considerable time, so they are left out of this reroll must-have list. (This may change as the meta shifts, and the tiers are subjective.)
Tier 0
- Crown
- A powerful Burst 2 Supporter used in all kinds of combos.
- Rated as good enough to take off right away if you pull her.
- Anis: Star
- Released in 4/'26, she's being called the new god of Burst 1.
Tier 1
- Rapi: Red Hood
- A powerful DPS who is useful everywhere.
- Snow White: Heavy Arms
- Likewise a powerful DPS usable across many modes.
- Cinderella: Crystal Wave
- Also a powerful DPS usable across many modes.
Tier 2
- Scarlet: Black Shadow
- Liberalio
- Nayuta
- Little Mermaid (Siren)
- She was a Nikke hard to replace at Burst 1, but has now been overtaken by Anis: Star.
The characters above are highly versatile or show strong performance in specific modes.
Tier 3
- Red Hood
A DPS who is very useful in content tied to specific elements.
Reroll Cautions
Country / Region Setting
Korean accounts require phone number verification, so rerolling on them is difficult.
So when creating an account, it's common to set the country to Japan.
This is unrelated to server selection, so it's fine to create a Japanese account even if you plan to play on the Korean server.
Account Linking
While rerolling, it's best not to link a Google / Facebook / Apple account.
Once linked, it's hard to delete or reset that account.
