'Goddess of Victory: NIKKE' has officially kicked off the winter story event, 'TERMINUS TICKET'. This fully-voiced narrative takes us on a journey across the surface aboard the AZX. Meanwhile, in the real world at AGF 2025 in KINTEX, Ilsan, Commanders had the chance to step onto the AZX themselves. The traditional Korean craft 'Dororong' goods were a massive hit, selling out in a flash on day one. KookminTree has compiled all the latest news and community buzz for you.

TERMINUS TICKET

The story event TERMINUS TICKET launched on December 4th. It picks up right where the previous 'BLANK TICKET' event left off, following the story of the civilian Nora and the Infinity Rail. Don't miss out on the full-voice experience before it ends on December 30th. Remember to sweep the dedicated map for lost items and clear event stages to exchange for rewards like Advanced Recruit Vouchers.

AGF 2025

Catch Goddess of Victory: NIKKE at AGF 2025, running for three days from December 5th to 7th. Head to Hall 4 to find the AZX model and a giant Dororong waiting for you. You can grab exclusive event goods at the shop and collect stamps to snag prizes. There is also a main stage event featuring official cosplayers and a mini-game showdown against the developers.

Diesel: Winter Sweets Performance Check

The community is buzzing with performance tests for the new NIKKE, Diesel: Winter Sweets (a.k.a. 'Winter Diesel'). The global BlaBla forums are no exception, where official creators and players alike are diving deep into her mechanics. The consensus? She is being ranked on par with Mihara: Bonding Chain. Being in the same league as an over-spec NIKKE speaks volumes about her power. Keep in mind that she shines against enemies with parts, and a pro tip is to avoid triggering her burst during the very first full burst phase.

How far should I upgrade Overload gear?

Overload gear is the endgame for your NIKKE equipment. It offers higher stats than Tier 9 gear and allows for up to three custom lines of options. However, it is a massive sink for credits and materials—new players, take note: you will run out of credits faster than you think if you go trigger-happy with the upgrades.

This topic has been dominating community discussions, especially among the wave of players who joined during the 3rd Anniversary. The veterans have spoken: for the best 'bang for your buck,' focus on level 3 for the Helmet, Chest, and Gloves. If you are dead set on pumping up your Attack stat, follow the 'Helmet - Gloves - Chest' priority order. Avoid the Boots, as they do not offer an Attack stat boost.

Check out the official AGF 2025 goods!

This is 'Weekly Game Comic,' our corner for reviewing official NIKKE merchandise and collaborations. I am putting myself in the line of fire as 'Test Subject No. 7' to give you the honest lowdown on whether these goods are worth your hard-earned cash.

First up, we have the Leviathan figure, the Dororong Mother-of-Pearl Pollock keyring, and the Dororong snow mold from AGF 2025. I wanted to show you everything, but my bank account had other plans. Let’s start with the Leviathan figure, part of GNF TOYZ’s 'Baby Boom' series. It costs 22,800 KRW. There are no swappable face parts, but it has a magnet on the base so you can stick it onto metal surfaces.

While previous Baby Boom figures didn't have extra components, the Leviathan comes with a back-mounted accessory—a giant, excavator-like mechanical piece. A fair warning: the connection point is quite fragile, so handle it with care.

Next is the Dororong Mother-of-Pearl Pollock keyring, the hottest item at AGF 2025, retailing at 19,000 KRW. Crafted using traditional nacre techniques, it features a stunning, iridescent shimmer. It even comes with a cute 'Good Luck' charm. If you are heading there this weekend, run—don't walk—to the merch shop. These mother-of-pearl goods were the first to sell out entirely.

Finally, the Dororong snow mold, priced at 9,000 KRW. It lets you craft adorable Dororong-shaped snowmen. As if on cue, it snowed the day before, so I put it to the test. The results were fantastic, and it is simple enough for anyone to use. Hopefully, this helps those planning to visit AGF.

Eating Emma's cooking vs. Listening to Diesel's singing

Last time, we held a balance game between Diesel and Brid. Brid took the crown, likely thanks to her professional, go-getter attitude. She really stepped up as the conductor of the AZX in the latest story event, acting as the team's lifeline. Diesel's lack of work-related screentime seems to have hurt her chances, though both have returned with fresh looks, so give them another look.

Emma is arguably the worst cook in the NIKKE universe; even Crust, who oversees the kitchen, has given up on her. The culprit? That classic amateur mistake of thinking, 'What if I add a bit more of this?' As for Diesel, she is both tone-deaf and rhythm-challenged. There is a legend among Commanders that those who have heard her sing in-game have permanently muted their audio. This quirk persists in her new form, so be prepared to hear her whenever you trigger her Burst Skill.

Now, for a truly difficult question. You have a date: Emma offers you a home-cooked meal, while Diesel invites you to karaoke. You have to pick one—no opting out allowed. Make your choice, and we will reveal the results in next week's Weekly Forum Highlight.
