Cinderella already has a gacha skin, so the whalers would not vote for her. Rapi however has a higher chance of winning as long as she has a great kit of course.
Red Rapi alters the meta possibly, though not on the level of changing the entire game in a power-creeping way. Even RH didn't unseat Marian in terms of utility, as I still use Marian and flex in Cindy-Ice Maiden as needed.
Ngl i aint that downbad for Rapi. I prefer Anis over Rapi any day, look-wise and personality-wise. But to each their own, and would be cool to see Rapi win the popularity poll since players been hyped for her for quite a long time. Me personally, i would vote Cindy over Rapi.
@ Regardless of that, the fact that there are people who bought it would still be a factor in the voting results. Remember that any unit who has a skin never won before despite there are more f2p players than whalers.
i doubt u see rate ups thou. Just insurance to get what you want once in bluemoon. Pilgrims are their biggest money maker, so that is why i believe pilgrim wishlist doesnt give same rate up boost as regular wishlist
@@breadeats That is very obvious. They would still have a 0.5% chance of being a pilgrim/overspec, but at the very least you would not get the unit that you don’t want, like more dupes of noah, isabel or harran.
No way another EVA collab must’ve been why they mentioned they do it like a year in advance so they already have colllabs lined up. At least they made the costumes better seems like they listened to the surveys to minimize the damage
Gainax and Hideaki Anno have never been shy about exploiting Evangelion through licensing . Shift Up could probably do one Eva event a year and the owners would gladly accept.
Yeah very much feels like get it out of the way haste. Though it still tstes bad after all the resources i spnt as ftp for new better units to come out so soon.
The Big 3 refer to the manufacturers. Not the Counters. They are saying that new units from them will get an "overspec" if they are upgraded like Rapi.
Thanks for the info! Personally, Im most excited dor the Stella Blade collab. You're, it feels weird to get Eva 2 collab so soon, as it kinda invalidates bad units rolled for in the first collab. Nut you're also right that Eva fans win, since they get collabs so close to each other.
Yep and some ppl kept yapping how its not happening when it was kinda obvious/hinted before by the devs. I rarely MLB Nikkes/collab units on purpose during their banner events but EVE I might actually try to.😅
I mean, we have Helm and Helm: Aquamarine, and she is getting a favorite item, so it seems that it's possible for characters with variants to get favorite items. I imagine it will only work on base form, would be interesting if it also worked on the variant but I doubt it
@@Alen725 yeah, the thing would be that her variant would also need 2 stars minimum (on a time limited nikke) and the dolls plus all the maintenance kits. Would be cool if it worked on both with the different effect for the skills, but would be hard, I guess
@@Alen725 Aquamarine can be still used as a flex Burst 2 CDR unit for a last team in Solo Raid but yea shes not used that much anymore. OG Helm even less, very rarely can be seen as a flex B3 sustain or so. Regardless Helm is one of my fav Nikke so I'm defo getting her Treasure even if its just for the lobby/collection.🙂 'same with Drake really'
@@daelionmr4782 Aquamarine wont be used as a B2 flex for anyone who plays since Crown and pulled for all B2 units (and have all B1 CDR units), because you have Crown/Naga+Tia/Mari/Rosana/Grave, she is no longer flex unit because those I mentioned are simply too strong to skip. And since Rogue release you dont need B2 cdr anymore since you have Rogue/Liter/Dorothy/D:KW/Volume. She is phased out completely. Sure, you could use her instead B1 CDR, but thing is B2 units I mentioned before are simply too strong to swap them for Dolla/Aquamarine, it will be DPS loss. The only team that dont run CDR B1 is shotgun team, but with Bunny Soda shotgun team dont need cdr Nikke, and Leona is better B2 for that job. I used her as B2 before Grave tho, but now sadly shes out. Unless you use Crown+Naga on the same team, that changes then.
@Alen725 I have all of the meta units, well almost everything really since I'm a day 1 player. Personally I prefer to have some kind of a sustain in my teams for more comfortable runs so ye I do run 1 team with B1 healer and B2 CDR as Aqua Helm unless the boss doesn't allow that setup or is a simple easy boss where a full dps team works with no issues. For top end clears ye she wont be used anymore but my target is only the top 3% as a F2P and that usually allows me to run my own team comps thats not the 100% copy paste meta comp. I still run Tia and Naga in the same team, Crown team I keep changing depending on the boss.
Not sure why they went with EVA after that whole thing about re evaluating their collabs since they haven’t been received well. Perhaps it was in the pipeline already. Either way it’s a good skippable banner for Stellar Blade’s Eve when she comes out with skippable gacha and pass skins as well. Kinda sad no fav item for Isabel. Maybe one day!
Probably was an alredy signed a contract situation and seeing the response of people they want to get it out of the way inmidiatly. Stellar Blase collab feels like a we dont have time to plan out a new collab with another IP so we use our other game for ease of work.
Well as he mentioned im his other videos on how collabes work according to shift up. I believe that collabe was already in the works soon after the first one so they probably couldn't couldn't turn back at that point with the money already put into the project so they might have relaized even after seen the results theybhave no choice but to continue and just make sure it comes out better. But it's so soon I feel this should have come way later it's ALOT OF content for a second rerun and most won't have the resources or even cash on hand after the new year stuff and 2-3 mini banners in-between.
These collabs were planned a year in advance (due to licensing from the various IP owners), so this Eva collab was already in the pipeline. I mean I like Evangelion myself so it's a win for me, but most of the fanbase wasn't as thrilled - that's likely why Eva 2.0 was announced this early. Shift Up doesn't have quite the same issue with Stellar Blade because it's their own IP (albeit published through Sony and not Level Infinite), and it's the most anticipated and wanted collab.
5:40: Don't give up on Rapi & Cindy's skins. I know I sound like I'm huffing copium. but we still have time. Only a couple of days until the event launches, but a week until New Year & Rapi: Red Hood release, so more info can come out. 11:03: I agree that they are rerunning this too soon. We just got this back in August. I'm not gonna rule out that they won't rerun the last Asuka/Rei/Mari units since they are also rerunning the past event as well. I just hope the new units will be a different code, hopefully Water & Wind.
Hope that ages well. The original agreement for the collab was likely two part events, and knowing how great the first rodeo went, they probably want to get it out of the way early 2025. At least SB is formally confirmed now.
Man I thought EVA was done…oh well…more saving for Stellar Blade. And this new type of Nikke means we’ll Get that new version of Mihara too! I can’t wait!
Bruh I love the pilgrim wishlist. No more snow white (got her to core 7), Isabel, the gnome or Harran. Evangelion huge L. Stellar blade Big W. The game looks absolutely gorgeous on ps5 pro. Stellar blade collab will prolly come out with the pc release.
@@beidoumainforever1356 i highly doubt it give same rate up boost as wishlisting regular gurls. Just makes sure if you get pilgrim or overloaded it is the one wishlisted. Rates stays same or get minor boost.
I'm also hoping for the Stellar Blade PC relase to be around the same time, don't have a PS 5 but I do have a decent/capable enough PC to play it on and I'm not watching any playthroughs either since I want the experience to be all new to me.
I wish I had that, I’ve been playing since the first coin rush even when Blanc and Noir were put into the game and I have not gotten a single Snow White or Doro. I have plenty of Rapunzel, Isabel, and gremlins
@AbdulB super unlikely any time soon. She's already a pilgrim and a damn good one. Over spec brings normal SR and SSR Nikke characters that were lacking up to a usable level.
Evangelion again? Imagine how much money they would make if they just made a Kill la Kill collab. Resident Evil, perhaps? Or at least Chained Soldier and Fireforce.... Thank god for Stellar Blade!
@@Reaper-fg9gh And yet they got Evangelion. Kil la Kill iis probably easy to get because it is owned by Trigger, while Capcom isn't exactly that stingy with licensing, although they are unpredictably stupid.
they cant wait because they already said it in the dev notes, they require a year of contract, which meant 2 things, 1. "we know u guys didnt like it, but too bad, we cant do anything about it now, we're under contract, we have to do the second one". 2. "we have to do it before the contract is up, because we only got 1 year"
I was really hoping that they would let Rapi be used in multiple towers. So both Elysion and now the Pilgrim/Overspec tower. It just seems weird to not let her be used in both since she is still Elysion. Honestly Elysion needs a very strong character like Rapi because their roster isn't good compared to Missilis and Tetra, but if she is only Elysion when it comes to what gear goes on her, then it is kinda pointless. Unless they start adding manufacturer team bonuses or something.
@breadeats I guess she is still subject to the Elysion curse 😂 But considering she's usable in the Pilgrim tower, I'd imagine her kit would be in line with most rate-up Pilgrims. She's also a 1% pull rate like Pilgrims, so I can't see her not being strong.
@@bromegaman5962 well there are bad pilgrims after all and she isnt pilgrim. Dont get me wrong, i absolutely want rapi be very strong unit, but given the burst slots she can use (1&3) she is competing against liter in burst one, rouge to some extend burst 1. And in burst 3 she is competing against cindy, her predecessor, scarlet black shadow and few others. Also what i noticed from her skills that she does buff wind and electric code as strong element. So im concerned if her role falls to be just buffer for cindy and scarlet. Wich is not wrong per say, if she were support/defender, but she is attacker.
@@breadeats Tbf the only bad Pilgrims are some of the base game ones, namely Isabel lol Every Pilgrim that has been released has been very strong. Also Rapi doesn't buff Wind and Electric allies. She gains element damage to Wind and Electric code enemies, which means she is essentially a Fire and Iron type at the same time. It doesn't say she gives it to allies, but if she does she would be buffing Fire and Iron allies, not Wind and Electric. Her having 2 types that she is strong against means that she can deal with more bosses element checks that have been in every solo raid. I think that along with her being able to be a B1 or B3 makes her very versatile and if she does good enough damage, then she could be amazing.
looks like for evangellion part2 it only two banners. an other units from last part might be gold mileage tickets because we getting not getting new Mari.
New Rapi is hype! I remember first using her OF version as a new Commander back in Aug 2024. With another EVA collab, the timing is very soon, but the first run was very good for my new account! Helped me on my early game grind for sure! SB collab, can't wait!
They were clever about the collabs. After the reception of the first EVA collab, they released info about how they deal with collabs workflow. And now, they announce a 2nd round of EVA and the most antecipated collab of Stellar Blade. They knew if they just announced the EVA collab the reception would'nt be that good.
I can see why they were apologising in that investor statement about collabs. They said “a year in planning” so guessing eva part 2 was already locked in. No idea why they thought 2 so close was a good idea though…
They might have planned to save it for later, but due to the hate there was on part 1, they just wanna get over with part 2 as soon as possible, as in to not affect future sales
Yeah it's probably just to get it over with but I'm NGL and pretend like I'm not extremely unhappy this really isn't something I'm looking forward to at all
Rapi: Red Hood is NOT a Pilgrim. According to the livestream, Over-Spec units keeps their manufacturer designation. This means that Rapi: Red Hood is Elysion.
I'm not really hyped for Eva again, unless they're meta, it will save me some pulls I suppose. Hell, Stellar Blade should have been first, with Eva being later in the year. It would have probably been slightly better received that way. Hope anyone who is hyped good luck on they're pulls though.
Im really excited for the mini game, I love SHMUPs. Similar to the Old Tales Mini game I am also a huge Metroidvania fan, so Shift Up is just hitting all the right notes for me lol. However, I totally understand what you mean by having this collab so far. Probably should have let it breath a little more.
For real Nikke really could use an update to the dorm system but I know shift up likes to play it safe all the time the bond stories already are pretty damn tame so I expect a dorm system would be heavily neutered
I don't like that the overpec will be restricted to the Pilgrim tower, I don't need better units for that one I need more units for the Base 3 Manufacturers!
I think they came out with new info that they can be used in their tower and overspec just in case your that one unlucky bastard to never get a pilgrim
I was hoping overspec being some kind of upgrade for normal nikkes but in the end it's just another character to gacha. kinda dissapoined but not really because in the end we get good characters
This is more time to save for Stellar Blade. 27000 and 50 tickets are not enough for me. I do not have good luck like that.😂 You got Eve, Tachy, and Raven. That is not enough!
The favorite items are quite a bit disappointing, not that I particularly dislike any of the chosen characters but because Isabel got a crazy good skin along with 3 top tier Nikkes. Let me repeat, *THE WORST PILGRIM* got a skin with *THE BEST NIKKES.* To be fair it's my fault for having hope that both Isabel and Nihilister will get a Favorite Item, or at least one of them. I guess I'll continue to huff hopium for another *HALF YEAR* 😩 I legit don't mind the new Favorite Item picks, all 4 have some appeal one way or another, just sucks to have two Pilgrims that are completely useless, especially when one of them was a super strong Dragon boss, it's literally the "the boss when fighting you vs. the boss when they join you" meme
I kind of wish they reran Nier: Automata, since I wasn't playing during that time. Hoping they do Chainsaw Man again as well. Otherwise RIP Bozo to me for starting so late.
Wow here i called the next collab is Reincarnated as a Slime JOKES ON ME it's EVA again fantastic. This has to be an out of season april fools joke. (reminder the Stellar Blade teaser could also mean that Stellar Blade gets ingame Nikke stuff)
So Rapi RH is gonna be Pilgrim/Over-Spec? Why are they hating on Elysion so much? Also, for SB collab since Eve is pretty much confirmed alrdy, if they don't include Tachy, Raven, and Lily I'm gonna have mind switch.
First returning collab is fire. Saving all my special tickets to pull on the Eva girls again. Only managed one of each first time, and I definitely want to try and get Asuka MLB'd.
We are eating good. Even though I already have Cinderella, I can get her to core 7. I can also target crown. I’m calling it now, everyone is going to have a nearly identical pilgrim wish list: Red hood Crown Marian/modernia Cinderella Scarlet Black shadow
Oke, I am a dumdum and fairly new to Nikke, so to be fully clear on it.. The new Ordinary recruit banner will be next to the already existing banner that features Litter, Naga and Alice right? Also wondering, if I do eventually get all 6 copy's from the ordinary recruit banner, does the banner than dissapear?
Yeah the first Eva collab was pretty mid as far as I was concerned so seeing a part 2 doesn't exactly leave me jumping for joy. I think that sentiment was shared by alot of people but some people also genuinely hated the collab. I didn't hate it because It just was to mid to hate or direct any strong energy towards but a part 2 I definitely am very unhappy about
@brendonbewersdorf986 Ok gotcha. What would you say would be the best collaboration so far then? Cuz I personally don't understand what more they could do with the collabs.
@@raph8505 as far as best collab I've seen so far was neir but even then the main thing neir had to bring everyone in was the fanservice it wasn't a spectacular collab or anything. If we are talking about what they could do with collabs I would say probably the biggest thing is making it work in Nikke better. The Eva collab didn't even have the mechs evangelion is known for. I imagine if they had used them as part of the story say to fight raptures or something it might have been more interesting but the fact of the matter is they wanted to only use the characters but kept them extremely bland as far as I can tell. They just were uninteresting. So picking a focus would be good before starting a collab. Like if you want to focus on the characters focus on that rather than action but if action is what you want then lean into it. Trying to half do both doesn't satisfy anyone. So my advice for a future collaboration would be for them to pick a franchise and lean into it's strong suits. Like if they say do high school dxd make sure to bring lots of fanservice or if your gonna do something like cyber punk edgerunners definitely bring out the dystopian elements cyberpunk specializes in. But that's just my opinion. I just think half the issue is they don't use the collabs to the fullest potential most of the time. And especially they need to make them work with nikkes theme. I'm sorry Nikke has lots of fanservice so picking a bland franchise isn't gonna go well either Sorry for the ramble but I tried to answer as best I could
Why do people hate the Evangelion Collab? I am biased because I personally like the Eva series. Can anyone tell me their biggest problems with the Eva collab?
Overall too many Ls this time for my taste. Winter Ein and Zwei are not it, sure, gacha Naga looks nice but I'm not getting it. Plapis new design is mid AF, second Eva Collab is an L. The only thing I liked here was the Eva collba
The eva collab was awesome, I'm interested to see what they do with this sequel. Both of the alters look really cool and the new costume and SR look great, I just hope the community don't get annoying about this for gogo's sake
I love Evangelion, but I agree. They blew the last collab, it seems they barely fixed what people complained about it, and now we're getting a re-run so soon instead of the highly anticipated Automata re-run or something more exciting. They should have waited for Eva round 2.
OH MAN, I love this more revealing Rapi, yes. OH MAN, yes the is what I wanted from Naga. Now I dont regret skipping her last skin. Naga? I didnt see that coming but I love it. Shes one of my most used so this is perfect. Damn, thank lawd I saved my tickets. I dont know if the Evan collab is gonna work. The skins look better this time but I was really hoping for like stellar blade or idk just something more "mature" high school dxd ladies would have been great.
The selector says " An SSR Nikke of your choice". Aren't Pilgrims also SSR Nikkes? They either are lying by omission here or this is better than last year
Do you think they are doing Eve collab because they didn’t make money on the first one? I’m a fan of Eve but I even think it’s too soon for another collab.
i swear if they replace next years collab with another evangelion collab, im going to be super angry, they rub salt on the many that already hated the eva collab
@@EliiGamer685 tbh, given how story goes in nikke, they could've made her as pilgrim given how rapi is i doubt she is allowed to live in ark much longer.
Without a scandalous skin it makes wanting to pull Rapi less priority for me especially since now you can wishlist them. EVA too early like you said. Happy holidays best rate wishes to all.
My thoughts exactly the skins seem pretty mid tbh and rapi doesn't really look that good looks like a downgrade from her SR form in terms of fanservice so definitely nothing scandalous going on this year lol and Eva collab coming to make sure nobody spends again lmao 🤣 freaking Eva part 2 god-damnit this sucks

Who wants to bet Rapi: Red Hood is gonna win the NEXT popularity poll?
Cinderella is great, but we've all been downbad for an SSR Rapi.
Cinderella already has a gacha skin, so the whalers would not vote for her. Rapi however has a higher chance of winning as long as she has a great kit of course.

@@josephaccomando7947 neir would have been awesome since I missed that one
@@Reaper-fg9gh And yet they got Evangelion. Kil la Kill iis probably easy to get because it is owned by Trigger, while Capcom isn't exactly that stingy with licensing, although they are unpredictably stupid.
collab wise I can see Kill la Kill and Chained but not so much Fire Force
Outside of the clear cash grab eva 2 everything else is peak. My girl Miranda getting some love, let's go! 🍻
It was probably already part of the original contractual agreement, so not much that can be done there.
If we go through 2 EVA collabs and no Misato SSR I do not know what the hell they are smokin over there
And still no better designs or iconic costumes either. I think Evangelion is damaging their brain.
As a Eva fan I’m happy seeing another collab but we did not need it this soon
they cant wait because they already said it in the dev notes, they require a year of contract, which meant 2 things, 1. "we know u guys didnt like it, but too bad, we cant do anything about it now, we're under contract, we have to do the second one". 2. "we have to do it before the contract is up, because we only got 1 year"
I already have bunny Alice to core level 2. Yeah, she's cute and really effective.
BUNNY ALICE! KEEP ME ALIVE AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!
I was really hoping that they would let Rapi be used in multiple towers. So both Elysion and now the Pilgrim/Overspec tower. It just seems weird to not let her be used in both since she is still Elysion.
Honestly Elysion needs a very strong character like Rapi because their roster isn't good compared to Missilis and Tetra, but if she is only Elysion when it comes to what gear goes on her, then it is kinda pointless. Unless they start adding manufacturer team bonuses or something.
assuming rapi will be strong that is.
@breadeats I guess she is still subject to the Elysion curse 😂 But considering she's usable in the Pilgrim tower, I'd imagine her kit would be in line with most rate-up Pilgrims. She's also a 1% pull rate like Pilgrims, so I can't see her not being strong.
@@breadeats she is the main girl.
if her kit isn't brokenly strong on release they will do a redhood 2.0 and buff her drastically
@@bromegaman5962 well there are bad pilgrims after all and she isnt pilgrim. Dont get me wrong, i absolutely want rapi be very strong unit, but given the burst slots she can use (1&3) she is competing against liter in burst one, rouge to some extend burst 1. And in burst 3 she is competing against cindy, her predecessor, scarlet black shadow and few others. Also what i noticed from her skills that she does buff wind and electric code as strong element. So im concerned if her role falls to be just buffer for cindy and scarlet. Wich is not wrong per say, if she were support/defender, but she is attacker.
@@breadeats Tbf the only bad Pilgrims are some of the base game ones, namely Isabel lol Every Pilgrim that has been released has been very strong.
Also Rapi doesn't buff Wind and Electric allies. She gains element damage to Wind and Electric code enemies, which means she is essentially a Fire and Iron type at the same time. It doesn't say she gives it to allies, but if she does she would be buffing Fire and Iron allies, not Wind and Electric. Her having 2 types that she is strong against means that she can deal with more bosses element checks that have been in every solo raid. I think that along with her being able to be a B1 or B3 makes her very versatile and if she does good enough damage, then she could be amazing.
looks like for evangellion part2 it only two banners. an other units from last part might be gold mileage tickets because we getting not getting new Mari.
As a fan of Naga, I'm going for that skin.
Wish me luck with the rolls
🍀🎲
New Rapi is hype! I remember first using her OF version as a new Commander back in Aug 2024.
With another EVA collab, the timing is very soon, but the first run was very good for my new account! Helped me on my early game grind for sure!
SB collab, can't wait!
Rapi will be usable in BOTH Elysion and Pilgrim towers. She’s not exclusive to Pilgrim, it’s just a new classification to keep the meta exciting.
They were clever about the collabs. After the reception of the first EVA collab, they released info about how they deal with collabs workflow. And now, they announce a 2nd round of EVA and the most antecipated collab of Stellar Blade. They knew if they just announced the EVA collab the reception would'nt be that good.
I can see why they were apologising in that investor statement about collabs. They said “a year in planning” so guessing eva part 2 was already locked in. No idea why they thought 2 so close was a good idea though…
They might have planned to save it for later, but due to the hate there was on part 1, they just wanna get over with part 2 as soon as possible, as in to not affect future sales
Yeah it's probably just to get it over with but I'm NGL and pretend like I'm not extremely unhappy this really isn't something I'm looking forward to at all
Rapi: Red Hood is NOT a Pilgrim. According to the livestream, Over-Spec units keeps their manufacturer designation. This means that Rapi: Red Hood is Elysion.
She's not Pilgrim but she's usable on Pilgrim tower not Elysion tower
Honestly, I think over-spec units will be available in both their manufacturer tower and the Pilgrim tower.
I'm one of 5 Nikke fans excited for more Eva. the bullet hell minigame looks fun and they included more of the Rebuild outfits this time.
I'm not really hyped for Eva again, unless they're meta, it will save me some pulls I suppose.
Hell, Stellar Blade should have been first, with Eva being later in the year. It would have probably been slightly better received that way.
Hope anyone who is hyped good luck on they're pulls though.
Overspec might be their new way to up their monetization. If meta banners end up being overspec and piligrim only.
EVA announcement is party pooper
Good thing I saved my pilgrim molds 🤝 1000 pity tickets and 60k gems. I will be chilling this event
Im super bummed i missed your stream but thanks for the in depth video fam 💯
I love how they acted so fast to modify Rapi look. They are great
EVE will Join My Haram Army I will save all for her
Im really excited for the mini game, I love SHMUPs. Similar to the Old Tales Mini game I am also a huge Metroidvania fan, so Shift Up is just hitting all the right notes for me lol. However, I totally understand what you mean by having this collab so far. Probably should have let it breath a little more.
They cooked with this
Frfr
All we need now is an advice overhaul like that of SnowBreak dorm update and NIKKE will break wallets.
For real Nikke really could use an update to the dorm system but I know shift up likes to play it safe all the time the bond stories already are pretty damn tame so I expect a dorm system would be heavily neutered
We need a backlash controversy outrage to force devs into being able to bring SSR Rapi to Elysion Tower...... RIP Elysion Tower!
Oh shit, I didn't even catch that. That is hilarious how much Elysion Tower is cucked
So are the previous EVA units getting a rerun with this new EVA collab?
I don't like that the overpec will be restricted to the Pilgrim tower, I don't need better units for that one I need more units for the Base 3 Manufacturers!
I think they came out with new info that they can be used in their tower and overspec just in case your that one unlucky bastard to never get a pilgrim
@@HumanitysGrace Ok that's good.
Drake, Naga, and Black Shadow? This update is made for me.
cant wait for syuin to join the counters. she is going front lines for the raptuers
I was hoping overspec being some kind of upgrade for normal nikkes but in the end it's just another character to gacha. kinda dissapoined but not really because in the end we get good characters
This is more time to save for Stellar Blade. 27000 and 50 tickets are not enough for me. I do not have good luck like that.😂 You got Eve, Tachy, and Raven. That is not enough!
I’m so torn on skipping or summoning on scarlet. I only have tons of gems but only enough tickets for 1 rapi
Darn it! Still no favorite item for Nihilister! Though this means maybe she will get an alt.
The favorite items are quite a bit disappointing, not that I particularly dislike any of the chosen characters but because Isabel got a crazy good skin along with 3 top tier Nikkes.
Let me repeat, *THE WORST PILGRIM* got a skin with *THE BEST NIKKES.*
To be fair it's my fault for having hope that both Isabel and Nihilister will get a Favorite Item, or at least one of them.
I guess I'll continue to huff hopium for another *HALF YEAR* 😩
I legit don't mind the new Favorite Item picks, all 4 have some appeal one way or another, just sucks to have two Pilgrims that are completely useless, especially when one of them was a super strong Dragon boss, it's literally the "the boss when fighting you vs. the boss when they join you" meme
I kind of wish they reran Nier: Automata, since I wasn't playing during that time. Hoping they do Chainsaw Man again as well. Otherwise RIP Bozo to me for starting so late.
Wow here i called the next collab is Reincarnated as a Slime
JOKES ON ME it's EVA again fantastic.
This has to be an out of season april fools joke.
(reminder the Stellar Blade teaser could also mean that Stellar Blade gets ingame Nikke stuff)
A second EVA collab is WAY better than Slime, lol.
So Rapi RH is gonna be Pilgrim/Over-Spec? Why are they hating on Elysion so much?
Also, for SB collab since Eve is pretty much confirmed alrdy, if they don't include Tachy, Raven, and Lily I'm gonna have mind switch.
Cant wait for Overspec Modernia
First returning collab is fire. Saving all my special tickets to pull on the Eva girls again. Only managed one of each first time, and I definitely want to try and get Asuka MLB'd.
Just a warning seems like its a whole new unit for Asuka and Rei (seems like just new costumes for Mari)
@@BorderFreaknot seems, they are new units from the poses and names alone. First alt units for collab characters pretty much.
@@BorderFreak Oof. That's killed my enthusiasm. Not touching that unless the existing SSR's are included. Way to lose my money ShiftUp
We are eating good. Even though I already have Cinderella, I can get her to core 7. I can also target crown. I’m calling it now, everyone is going to have a nearly identical pilgrim wish list:
Red hood
Crown
Marian/modernia
Cinderella
Scarlet Black shadow
Rip Isabel due to new wishlist, Ik you’re brawling ur eyes out gogo.😢
I’m guessing Mihara will be over spec
Thanks for the update GoGo! My 800 unclaimed gold tickets are ready for this.
Are the EVA characters confirmed to be new units or just the one SR and a bunch of skins?
Everything they did in the announcement is perfect even the new evangellion collab.
Oke, I am a dumdum and fairly new to Nikke, so to be fully clear on it.. The new Ordinary recruit banner will be next to the already existing banner that features Litter, Naga and Alice right? Also wondering, if I do eventually get all 6 copy's from the ordinary recruit banner, does the banner than dissapear?
New Banner will be temporary.
The old banner doesn't dissappear after collecting the 6/6 units.
@bud9450 thank you for the info!
@McJurrie
Glad to help.
Overall W
If the new Eva units supercede the previous units: L
If the new Eva units all gel and can make interesting team combos: W
just wondering (cuz i dont understand) but were people hating on the first EVA collab and thats why they dont like this round 2?
Yeah the first Eva collab was pretty mid as far as I was concerned so seeing a part 2 doesn't exactly leave me jumping for joy. I think that sentiment was shared by alot of people but some people also genuinely hated the collab. I didn't hate it because It just was to mid to hate or direct any strong energy towards but a part 2 I definitely am very unhappy about
@brendonbewersdorf986 Ok gotcha. What would you say would be the best collaboration so far then?
Cuz I personally don't understand what more they could do with the collabs.
@@raph8505 as far as best collab I've seen so far was neir but even then the main thing neir had to bring everyone in was the fanservice it wasn't a spectacular collab or anything.
If we are talking about what they could do with collabs I would say probably the biggest thing is making it work in Nikke better. The Eva collab didn't even have the mechs evangelion is known for. I imagine if they had used them as part of the story say to fight raptures or something it might have been more interesting but the fact of the matter is they wanted to only use the characters but kept them extremely bland as far as I can tell. They just were uninteresting. So picking a focus would be good before starting a collab. Like if you want to focus on the characters focus on that rather than action but if action is what you want then lean into it. Trying to half do both doesn't satisfy anyone. So my advice for a future collaboration would be for them to pick a franchise and lean into it's strong suits. Like if they say do high school dxd make sure to bring lots of fanservice or if your gonna do something like cyber punk edgerunners definitely bring out the dystopian elements cyberpunk specializes in. But that's just my opinion. I just think half the issue is they don't use the collabs to the fullest potential most of the time. And especially they need to make them work with nikkes theme. I'm sorry Nikke has lots of fanservice so picking a bland franchise isn't gonna go well either
Sorry for the ramble but I tried to answer as best I could
Isabel will be on my wishlist, still need to MLB her. MLB a fair few pilgrims now so wishlist is in time for me to focus down the rest.
So rapi is our 1st
Dokkan fest exclusive
Legends limited
Sugu fest
Type character
Why do people hate the Evangelion Collab? I am biased because I personally like the Eva series. Can anyone tell me their biggest problems with the Eva collab?
We just had one with Eva, that's the main reason
You already blurted out you're biased so any explanation will be a waste of time, all in all no one has to justify why they liked it or not.
@@justsomeguywithlasereyes9920 Can you at least give me a reason? I'm not trying to start an argument I'm just curious
Characters aren't as eye catching as other popular nikkes and the re run collab most people want are neir automata or maybe chain saw man.
I don't hate it. I just don't care for EVA in general.
Overall too many Ls this time for my taste. Winter Ein and Zwei are not it, sure, gacha Naga looks nice but I'm not getting it.
Plapis new design is mid AF, second Eva Collab is an L.
The only thing I liked here was the Eva collba
I was watching this while getting ready for work. Did I miss the codes or were they not in here?
The eva collab was awesome, I'm interested to see what they do with this sequel. Both of the alters look really cool and the new costume and SR look great, I just hope the community don't get annoying about this for gogo's sake
"everyone wants another nier collab and we made a lot of money, nah fuck that we need another neon gen collab...." Huge L
I love Evangelion, but I agree. They blew the last collab, it seems they barely fixed what people complained about it, and now we're getting a re-run so soon instead of the highly anticipated Automata re-run or something more exciting. They should have waited for Eva round 2.
will elysian gear work on her
OH MAN, I love this more revealing Rapi, yes.
OH MAN, yes the is what I wanted from Naga. Now I dont regret skipping her last skin. Naga? I didnt see that coming but I love it. Shes one of my most used so this is perfect.
Damn, thank lawd I saved my tickets.
I dont know if the Evan collab is gonna work. The skins look better this time but I was really hoping for like stellar blade or idk just something more "mature" high school dxd ladies would have been great.
Miranda favorite item? Let's go!
The selector says " An SSR Nikke of your choice". Aren't Pilgrims also SSR Nikkes?
They either are lying by omission here or this is better than last year
nikke collabs are dead in the water
So is it a rerun for the EVA characters or is it a different version? I'm confused.
Seems like Asuka and Rei are new while Mari is the same
Good Lord. Now we have SSR pleb units and SSR elites?
Im in chapter 25 in the story, and I still dont have no Red Hood, no Scarlet Black and no Modernia.... so this is big for me :D
Yay Rapi. She looks awesome. Yay Drake. Make her the ultimate villain please. Skipping Evangelion and saving for Stellar Blade.
why evangelion again!!!!!??????? i plan to spend 0 on that collab just like the other time i guess another opportunity to save gems
so the commander does helm, finally
Do you think they are doing Eve collab because they didn’t make money on the first one? I’m a fan of Eve but I even think it’s too soon for another collab.
i swear if they replace next years collab with another evangelion collab, im going to be super angry, they rub salt on the many that already hated the eva collab
For me it was obvious Rappi to be a Pilgrim since she is so Old and having Redhoods core. The devs are cooking and I am not dissapointed.
She's still an Elysion character, just on a new rarity. Pilgrim only applies to characters that are not affiliated to the Ark's Big Three
@@EliiGamer685 tbh, given how story goes in nikke, they could've made her as pilgrim given how rapi is i doubt she is allowed to live in ark much longer.
The collab seems disappointing i already have the 3 and now we get some what better variant of them is dumb in so many levels
Without a scandalous skin it makes wanting to pull Rapi less priority for me especially since now you can wishlist them.
EVA too early like you said.
Happy holidays best rate wishes to all.
My thoughts exactly the skins seem pretty mid tbh and rapi doesn't really look that good looks like a downgrade from her SR form in terms of fanservice so definitely nothing scandalous going on this year lol and Eva collab coming to make sure nobody spends again lmao 🤣 freaking Eva part 2 god-damnit this sucks
Everyone should pick Crow as their free SSR!😆
I maxed Asuka's core :( i wish they'd wait too
I’ve been saving ordinary vouchers… now I’m so happy I did
Def using my step up to get red hood
I kinda wish they kept the og ssr rapi design i liked the red jacket better
Am i the only who who liked the evangellion collab? I even started the anime. I do agree tho having the same characters twice kinda sucks.
now lets all pray rapi is actually good this time.
I actually really like her design
