“Goddess of Victory: NIKKE” – Is the “new bunny” a dangerous sign that you'll get stoned?! Could the cute Alice and the selfish Soda become “Strong Nike”?

In “Goddess of Victory: NIKKE,” you become the commander of a girl-type humanoid named Nike and take on the mysterious mechanical lifeform Rapture. The game has captivated many users with its various charms, including the strategic element of searching for the best team combinations and the high-quality scenario that draws the viewer in.

The new event “GOLDEN COIN RUSH” is scheduled to begin on May 30th. There are high expectations and predictions that the new Nikes “Soda: Twinkle Bunny” and “Alice: Wonderland Bunny” that will be implemented in conjunction with this event will be Nikes with performances that will change the fighting environment for players.

Both will be implemented through “Featured Recruitment” (also known as gacha), so if they are as strong as rumored, there will likely be many commanders pouring their “jewels” into securing them.

We would like to avoid mass consumption of jewels before the swimsuit event that will probably be held this year as well. However, if it has an impact on the environment, we have no choice but to back down.

So why do they see the potential for “Soda: Twinkle Bunny” and “Alice: Wonderland Bunny” to be strong characters?

The clues can be found in the history and trends of “Goddess of Victory: NIKKE.''

■The bunny in “Goddess of Victory: NIKKE” is a sign of “Strong Nike”!?
Compared to other free-to-play games, inflation in “Goddess of Victory: NIKKE” is quite gradual. Therefore, many commanders find it easy to keep a good Nike in action for a long time and easy to save jewels.

However, Nike, who can greatly change the commander's combat environment, has also appeared several times in the past. One of them is “Blanc” and “Noir”, which were implemented in the event “Bunny X 777” held last year. “Blanc” contributes to excellent defensive effects and increases the damage of the entire unit, while “Noir” has an excellent reload speed that makes it easy to accumulate the burst gauge and is also good at buffing the offensive side.

These two characters greatly increased the firepower of the commanders and demonstrated their abilities in a wide range of situations, including the main story, hard mode, and boss battles in various content.

As you can see from the visuals, “Blanc” and “Noir” are both bunny girl Nikes. They usually perform pole dancing in “Coin Rush”.

In the past, the two bunny characters contributed to improving the commander's fighting power. And as you can guess from the names, the newly implemented “Soda: Twinkle Bunny” and “Alice: Wonderland Bunny” are dressed in bunny girl costumes. The bunnies in this game started out as strong characters, so they may not be underestimated this time either.

In addition, “Bunny X 777” will be held in May 2023. “GOLDEN COIN RUSH” will begin on May 30th, so the timing will roughly match. Comparing the trends of last year and this year, strong Nikes are generally implemented at the same time (such as the beginning of the year or the half-anniversary), so there is a good chance that the forces will be updated at this time.

■ This year's new bunny girl has slightly different circumstances
However, when comparing last year's “Blanc” and “Noir” with the two new Nikes this time, it is undeniable that there are some differences. “Blanc” and “Noir” are good friends as twins, and are compatible in terms of both setting and fighting power, and are Nikes who mesh well together during battle.

However, “Soda: Twinkle Bunny” and “Alice: Wonderland Bunny” are both new variations of “Soda” and “Alice.”

The character itself has already been implemented, and is a so-called costume-changing character.

Therefore, the examples of “Blanc” and “Noir” do not necessarily apply directly. However, even when viewed as individual characters, there is still a good chance that they could be “strong Nike.”

■Will the potential for growth be a tailwind for “Soda: Twinkle Bunny”?
Up until now, Nikes released as costume variations have tended to be stronger than the original Nikes. For example, “Anise” and “D” are good examples.

Soda, who was released for last year's Valentine's Day event, is a clumsy character, but she is also brave, positive, and cheerful, making her popular with commanders.

However, looking at pure combat ability alone, Nike isn't particularly outstanding, and unless you intentionally want to use him to his full potential, he appears very rarely.

At the moment, the strength of “Soda” is rated low. That's why, just as “D” made a breakthrough with “D: Killer Wife”, it wouldn't be surprising if he suddenly became stronger with his new costume, “Soda: Twinkle Bunny”. If his potential for growth goes in the right direction, he'll surely show impressive performance.

Although some of the performance has already been released, it is difficult to gauge the strength of “Goddess of Victory: NIKKE” from a written description alone, and we cannot know its superiority or inferiority until we actually try it. What we are particularly curious about is how the skill effect “increased duration of full burst time” will affect the overall fighting power.

This may be the key point.

■Can the resilient “Alice: Wonderland Bunny” create a new home?
On the other hand, “Alice” is the polar opposite of “Soda”, and has been the strongest sniper since the service started. “Modernia”, which was implemented at the beginning of 2023, was also a firepower slot that changed the environment, but “Alice” was a type that focused on one point, and “Modernia” was a type that excelled in continuous combat, so these two will contribute to the commander's fighting power for a long time without competing with each other for the place.

Although he has lost his place as the strongest sniper to Red Hood, who was released for the first anniversary, he still appears in a variety of content and is one of the best Nikes.

Unlike Soda, it may be difficult to make her stronger by changing her costume, since she is already quite strong. Since Victory Goddess: NIKKE tends to suppress inflation, the possibility of her becoming stronger is somewhat lower than in the case of Soda. However, there are Nikes who have gained new strengths by changing their costumes, such as in Crimson Lotus: Black Shadow, so there is no need to give up before implementation.

By the way, some of the capabilities of “Alice: Wonderland Bunny” were also shown. It seems that Nike is not a high-powered attacker like “Alice”, but is specialized in recovery and support. This is disappointing for commanders who were hoping for a high-powered Nike, but since it does not overlap with the original “Alice”, it can be said that there is a good chance that Nike will be useful in a different way.

The combination of the burst skill “I” and a cooldown of 40 seconds is a bit disappointing, but if “Burst Re-entry” works effectively, there is a good chance that Nike will be able to shine in the right place at the right time.

Are the newly implemented characters strong? In what situations will they be useful? Such imaginations will be exciting until they are implemented and the whole picture is known. Now that they have not been implemented yet, it is time to enjoy thinking about them. Let's wait for the implementation of “Soda: Twinkle Bunny” and “Alice: Wonderland Bunny” while thinking about their strengths and roles!
