The 'Goddess of Victory: NIKKE' Solo Raid is the cornerstone of the game's monthly cycle. It’s a period of intense engagement, where players flood the Official Lounge and the in-game 'BlaBla' messenger to share strategies and proof of their runs. With the latest event recently concluded, it is high time for a post-mortem. The community is currently awash with data, particularly on BlaBla, where players are dissecting server-specific cut-offs and performance stats.

SIN EDITOR

The story event, SIN EDITOR, delves into the life of Label, a newcomer working in the depths of the Ark's library. You can tackle event stages and challenge stages to exchange for Advanced Recruit Vouchers and standard Recruit Vouchers. Furthermore, the limited-time banner for our protagonist, Label, is now live. She is an Elysion-affiliated Iron Code Defender. Much of the community chatter suggests she is a PvP specialist, and players are currently busy theorycrafting her kit. Consider this a breather after the intensity of the New Year event and enjoy the narrative.

Solo Raid Post-Mortem

The first Solo Raid of 2026 wrapped up on January 15. The competition on the Korean server was as fierce as ever, with the 'in 3%' cut-off reaching a staggering 19.6 billion points. Talk among the players was that we might even hit the 20-billion mark, though we ultimately fell just short.

Players across various regions are currently sharing their server-specific Solo Raid cut-offs on BlaBla.Many users have taken to BlaBla for a bit of soul-searching, reflecting on their squad compositions and identifying where they fell short. The passion for improvement is palpable as they prepare for the next round. If you're hungry for data, head over to the official community's BlaBla section.

How should I set up Harmony Cubes?

Harmony Cubes are a perennial source of confusion for new recruits. As of January 16, there are 14 types, and players are constantly asking which to upgrade and who to equip. To save you the headache: focus on the 'Relic Bear Cube' and 'Tactical Bear Cube' first. The former boosts reload speed, while the latter handles ammo capacity—both are massive boons in combat.

Recommending specific Nikkes for each cube is tricky since it's situational. When seeking advice, do attach screenshots of your current roster. The community is generally quite helpful. A solid tip for everyone: prioritise reload cubes for your main squad. If your cube levels are too low to cover all five, slap the ammo capacity cube onto your Machine Gun users.

The Delusional Librarian, 'Label'

Today's spotlight is on Label.She was previously teased during the Arcana story event.Following Phantom and Arcana, she is the final member of the Bestseller Squad. Unlike the pristine, white-clad Arcana, Label is draped in black and clearly isn't one for tidiness. Her striking aesthetic made her an instant hit with many players upon release.

Label is a Burst 1, Defender, Assault Rifle-type Nikke. She’s built to counter 'Electric Code' enemies by significantly reducing the damage taken from them—a massive 70.4% reduction at skill level 10. She also applies a shield proportional to her max HP, which automatically refreshes upon breaking when she uses a basic attack or burst skill. Her burst, 'Exploding Heart,' renders her shield invincible for 10 seconds.

The downside? She lacks a taunt ability, making her sturdy shield difficult to leverage. Plus, her damage reduction against Electric Code enemies only lasts for 5 seconds at the start of battle, a point of contention that has left players divided. Testing is ongoing, but the prevailing sentiment is that she's hard to slot outside of offensive teams. Even then, she struggles to counter anyone besides Scarlet, and her performance in the Arena remains unpredictable due to varying burst generation speeds. If you're not a die-hard Arena player, you might want to sit this banner out.

The Bestseller Squad was formed to archive the Ark's secrets and history. While they serve as librarians, they also manage the forbidden archives in the shadows. Label, specifically, handles censorship, processing every report submitted by Commanders. This story event kicks off when a curious Commander, having seen redacted information, goes looking for answers.

Label is a delusional patient on par with Rapunzel—the burst cutscene and lobby art make that perfectly clear. Players are already speculating about the chemistry between her and Rapunzel. Check out her personal story and the event for the full scoop.

Arcana vs. Label

Last time, we ran an 'Oswald vs. Anderson' balance game. The result? Vice Commander Anderson took the crown. After the revelations in the New Year story, many players took a fresh look at his journey. Oswald wasn't exactly a villain, but Anderson's tragic narrative clearly struck a deeper chord. As an Oswald fan myself, I'm a bit gutted.

Librarians are there to help you find what you need—or find it for you. Imagine you've stepped into the Ark's library and both Label and Arcana are there. Which Nikke would you ask to help you search for information? Cast your vote, and we'll reveal the results in next week's Weekly Forum Highlight.
