'Altruia', who appeared in the main story of 'Goddess of Victory: NIKKE', has arrived as the latest Solo Raid boss. Her design and concept, which remind players of certain fallen Nikkes, have been a hot topic among Commanders. She has extremely high defense, so you will need Nikkes capable of dealing defense-ignoring damage or characters from the ongoing collaboration. KookminTree has rounded up the latest news and community issues.

Solo Raid Altruia

Meet the new Heretic, Altruia, who appeared in Main Story Chapter 44, in the Solo Raid. Her weakness is the Iron Code, and she possesses a mechanic that significantly boosts her defense. With many destroyable parts, she is a boss where 'Raven' can shine. The currently recruitable 'Chisato Nishikigi (hereinafter Chisato)' can also be used as a main damage dealer. Check the challenge stage combinations through the ranker rankings after February 21.

As an aside, Altruia's design, skills, and concept were a hot topic when she was revealed. This is because she possessed the exact armaments of 'Noah' and 'Rapunzel' who fell in the 3rd Anniversary story. Commanders were horrified, asking, 'Did she really take those from their corpses?', and were outraged when they saw 'World's Strongest Shield' in her skill name, saying, 'Are you mocking Noah now?'. Fortunately, it was revealed that it was just a mimicry by the Rapture Queen, and it was not the situation they feared. It seems she will be a good punching bag for the Commanders who were angry.

Takina Performance Verification

'Takina Inoue (hereinafter Takina)', who began recruitment on February 19, appeared as a Burst II supporter. Like Chisato, she is Iron Code, so we expected her to be active in the Solo Raid. Accordingly, the community quickly conducted performance verification for Takina on the first day of recruitment.

Users who finished the experiment commented, 'It's a shame that the 2nd skill is a 15-second active.' For peak performance, you must activate Full Burst in line with Takina's 2nd skill. A combination using 'Miranda' is being researched, and opinions were shared not to level up the 1st skill too much for this. Miranda's buff target is the ally with the highest attack power, and the attack power increase from Takina's 1st skill is quite high. Takina's actual performance is expected to be confirmed on the upcoming February 21, so keep an eye on it.

Is Peony's Treasure Item actually good?

Among the Nikkes who received new Treasure Items, the one users are paying the most attention to is definitely 'Peony'. Previously, she was only used in the Arena, but thanks to the Treasure Item, she has been transformed into a character that can also be used in PvE. She has proven her actual performance, such as cases of success in clearing the final boss of Hard Stage 42. Furthermore, she continues to be active in the Tribe Tower.

However, some users are asking, 'Is Peony really that good?'. They say they tried using her after seeing successful cases, but failed. In such cases, it is mostly a problem with the combination or stage compatibility. She is often used as a substitute for 'Little Mermaid', but Peony shines only when used in parts where tanking is needed, rather than using her blindly.

Since Peony was a tank type from the beginning, she is good for protecting allies in high-difficulty stages, so-called 'Red CP' stages. Little Mermaid's role is completely different, with shooting focus effects and enemy stuns upon hit. Therefore, it is important to use the two appropriately according to the stage and combat power.

Second Lycoris 'Takina Inoue'

The character we will introduce today is Takina. Like Chisato, she is a protagonist of 'Lycoris Recoil'. She is an agent who boasts skills comparable to Chisato in the story, and although she is cold and calm, she often falters when involved with Chisato in the original work. It is quite worth watching her character change as she is swayed by the free-spirited Chisato. If you are curious, please watch the Lycoris Recoil anime.

Takina in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is a Burst II supporter type. The weapon used is a sniper rifle, but the weapon used changes for 10 seconds when using the Burst skill. In addition, the 2nd skill 'Battlefield Control' is an active with a 15-second cooldown, so it takes time to activate. Her main ability is a buff that increases 'Defense Ignore' damage for herself and allies. The evaluation among Commanders currently is that she is a 'difficult buffer to use'. Moreover, there are already many Burst II Nikkes and characters, so there are many competitors. It is unknown what kind of performance she will show in the Solo Raid. It seems we need to watch a little more.

Takina is cold and calm when doing Lycoris work, but she has a somewhat clumsy side in her daily life. In particular, her aesthetic sense is the worst. The bizarre-looking parfait that can be seen in the collaboration map and the original work is a prime example. It is a menu that symbolizes Takina, and fortunately, it tastes good. It was even sold as a menu item at a collaboration cafe held in Japan. If you are curious about Takina's performance, don't miss this story event.

Chisato vs. Takina

Last time, we held a 'Lycoris vs. Cafe Sweety' balance game. As a result of the vote, Lycoris was overwhelmingly chosen. The voting ratio was 3 to 1. It seems they couldn't beat the experienced newcomer who worked at a cafe and developed menus. It seems like something would happen if Cafe Sweety just changed the coffee menu they are stubborn about, but if you think of this as a charm, it seems it won't be easy to throw away.

Currently, recruitment for Chisato and Takina is underway. Since it is a limited-time collaboration recruitment, there is almost no way to meet the two again if you miss this opportunity. Therefore, there are quite a few Commanders who invest Jewels for their collection. If you could only bring one of them, who would you prioritize? The results will be revealed in the next Weekly Forum Highlight.
