Ever wonder how T.T. STAR started? Before her fame, Anis, Mint and Prika formed an idol group with Hanson’s help. But the reality was harsh and the crowd didn’t care. Anis didn’t give up and eventually pushed through to become the star the Ark needed.
Now she’s back. The 3.5th Anniversary Update of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE brings Anis back to the stage for her “Lights of Hope” comeback tour, diving deeper into the rocky start of her career. We know how much the community has been anticipating this milestone. Beyond the story, this patch is loaded: expect new Nikkes, exclusive idol skins, a fun mini-game, new chapters, and daily login rewards.
Here is a breakdown of everything coming in the patch to help you get your squads ready.
Three new characters
This update brings three new units, including two highly anticipated variants of the Counters squad and a brand new free character.
Anis: Star
Now that she’s got the Star armament, Anis can absorb energy on the fly and use it in all sorts of ways. Whenever she unleashes that stored power, the blast looks just like starlight.
Neon: Vision Eye
Neon is getting a serious defensive overhaul. Her new body is based on the “Perfect Nikke” blueprints created by the leader of the V.T.C. What this actually means in combat is total immunity. She natively rejects Corruption, Dark Matter, E2 Crystals, and Unchained. Also, her “Key” functionality has been moved from her glasses directly into her body. Her glasses are just normal glasses now, which is a fun lore detail we know fans will appreciate.
Avistar (FREE)
Every anniversary usually brings a free unit, and this time we are giving everyone Avistar. She is a calm, meticulous member of the Overseer inspection unit who also happens to be a massive Anis fangirl.
Story expansion and the Tracing the Stars minigame
We all know Anis as a massive star today, but the event story winds the clock back to when T.T. STAR was just starting out. It wasn’t exactly glamorous. You get to see exactly how she refused to accept the defeat and pushed her way to the top. The main campaign continues with Chapters 45 and 46. The battlefield is moving to “The Lift,” which is described as the tallest structure ever built by mankind. The lore implies we are heading toward the “beginning of everything,” so expect some heavy story reveals.
If you need a break from the main campaign, our anniversary minigame is a rhythm game called Tracing the Stars. You will be playing through T.T. STAR’s debut stage, hitting notes to the beat to rack up rewards.
Costumes and the Star Trail reward system
There are several new skins dropping in this patch.
Pass Costume
- Rapi: Redhood – Shining Light
- Dorothy – Luna Light
Gacha Costume
- Anis: Star – T.T. STAR (Gacha Costume, in the same Costume Gacha with Anis: Star – Starlight)
- Anis: Star – Starlight (Gacha Costume, in the same Costume Gacha with Anis: Star – T.T. STAR)
- Liberalio – Dreaming Lake
We are also introducing a new reward track called Star Trail. When you purchase event passes, costume gacha pulls, or specific cash shop packages, you earn Star Trail points. If you accumulate enough points, you can pick a free SSR Nikke. You get to choose between Dorothy, Crown, or Mihara: Bonding Chain. The track also includes an exclusive avatar frame, title, sticker, and profile background.
We also added a new Merch Bag collection system where you can gather T.T. STAR merchandise from the event field and display it on your bag.
Progression buffs and double rewards
This is arguably the best part of the update for daily players. The Anomaly Interception rewards are getting a permanent boost. The drop rates for Custom Modules and manufacturer equipment will increase across stages 1 through 9. If you can clear stage 9, you are now guaranteed a 100% drop rate for manufacturer equipment.
During the anniversary period, we are offering double rewards for daily missions, the Simulation Room, and Interceptions. On top of that, we are giving out three Skill Uninstallers so you can reset your investments.
Global Commander Cheer Campaign
To cap it all off, we are hosting a global web event called “Protect the Ark’s Star!” By logging in and sharing posts on social media, players earn Support Points. These points unlock Recruit Vouchers, upgrade materials, and eventually a real-world event where Anis and T.T. STAR will light up five major global landmarks.
