Anything I missed? NIKKE: 7 Tips New Commanders Might Miss
One month after the New Year's mega-event! Have you settled well into your Ark life?
Check out these 7 essential early-game tips you might have missed
#. Annoyed by Nikkes switching when manual controlling? Let's adjust the settings
In the early stages, you can easily clear stages with full auto, but you'll quickly hit a wall. From then on, you'll need to manually control and strategize.
When you first start manual control, the Nikke you're controlling changes abruptly, leading to frustrating situations. If you're using a shotgun Nikke for low-resource strategies, suddenly switching to another Nikke can be confusing and make the strategy itself difficult. In this case, go to settings and change 'Auto-Switch Nikke in Auto-Battle' to 'Off'.
There are many other settings as well, so check them out and find the perfect setup for you.
#. What's the top priority for credit investment? It's 'Tactic Academy'
There are several ways to strengthen your Nikkes. From the most basic level to equipment, skills, recycling, and various other ways to improve your stats.
However, the first place you should invest resources is 'Tactic Academy'. Tactic Academy is a system that strengthens the foundation of your Commander account itself. It expands the Synchro Device slots and increases the acquisition rate of various resources. It also greatly increases the efficiency of content such as dispatches. The sooner you level it up, the greater the benefits, so prioritize investing in it.
#. Even if it's a bit of a hassle, look for Lost Relics
As you progress through the stages, you may occasionally see your Nikke's cursor glow orange. This means there's a Lost Relic nearby. Finding Lost Relics will reward you with Jewels and other various rewards.
In fact, you might think that Jewels are nice to have but not essential, so you might wonder if it's really necessary to do this, but there are rewards in Lost Relics that you must obtain. That's the Building Schematic. Building Schematics must be secured in order to level up the Tactic Academy mentioned above.
#. Combat Power is enhanced in multiples of 1+20 levels! Be careful to consider the box efficiency
Leveling is the most direct and effective way to strengthen your Nikkes. As it's a basic stat-boosting element, many people prioritize investing resources in it.
There's a rule to the increase in Combat Power based on level. That is, the Combat Power increase value increases in units of 1+20 levels. Therefore, leveling up according to this unit allows for effective stat boosting.
In the case of resource boxes, the higher the base defense level, the higher the acquisition efficiency. It's more efficient to save them as much as possible while leveling up and open them at the point when this multiple is met.
#. Exclude Nikkes that can be obtained through events and systems from the Wishlist! However, an exception if you see a 3-star breakthrough
Nikke has a 'Wishlist' system. Limited to general recruitment, you can set the Nikkes you want to obtain. With the recent patch, Pilgrim/Over Spec Nikkes can also be set, increasing the value of this system.
To make the most of the Wishlist, it's recommended to exclude Nikkes that can be obtained elsewhere first. Privaty and Alice can be obtained through special quests, and Liter and Naga can be selected with certainty when recruiting 100 times. Therefore, it's best to exclude these Nikkes from the Wishlist.
However, the situation is different for users preparing for a 3-star breakthrough to break through the level 160 wall. If you have up to 2-star breakthrough, it's a good choice to include it in the Wishlist and aim for a 3-star breakthrough.
#. What to buy with Body Labels? Sale items and High-Quality Molds
Body Labels are resources that can be easily obtained through gacha. You can use them to purchase various items from the Body Label Shop.
The most recommended items are consoles on sale and High-Quality Molds. Consoles on sale are recommended because they have good price efficiency compared to resources. You can obtain SSR Nikkes with a high probability from High-Quality Molds. You can't obtain Pilgrim Nikkes from this mold, so its value decreases in the mid-to-late game, but not for beginner Commanders. You can supplement your lacking Nikke pool and aim for a 3-star breakthrough to break through the 160 wall, so buying them all is not a bad choice.
#. Be sure to participate in Solo Raids, even if it's just auto-tapping!
For beginner users, 'Solo Raid' is a burdensome content. It's known as end-game content, so there's a vague fear, and it's also a headache to organize up to 5 parties. Therefore, some beginner Commanders think of it as 'content that has nothing to do with me' or 'content that is still premature' and skip it.
However, I recommend that you participate in this Solo Raid. You can obtain various growth resources, and among them, resources related to cherished items/collectibles are really precious. You don't have to aim for clearing or high scores, and you can get more than a certain amount of rewards even if you participate with auto-tapping, so don't feel burdened and participate.
