Trial Deck Remix: Goddess of Victory NIKKE

Enjoy the action packed universe of NIKKE? The series has a strong TD+ that's a lot of fun to pilot!

Check out the Philosophy of the Trial Deck Remix Series here if interested!

2 TD+ Combined Only:

Deck Code: 2QMLC

Cards that you may wish to fit in and swap with others:

Note: Feel free to add an extra 0/0 Scarlet and possibly cut the 3/0 counter event down to 2. Or to adjust other ratios to make the Level 0 game a better fit if you’re having consistency problems. I found I never needed more than 3 of the Scarlet in playtesting, but can understand that others may wish for it in different ratios.

Quick Pilot Guide:

This is a very straight forward deck to pilot. You’ll use your Level 0 tech game to set up the 1/0 Dorothy combo, and then use the resources that this and other cards in the deck can generate to play out a very powerful offensive and defensive game at Level 3. Use the Level 3 Modernia’s on play ability to either chain into another Modernia and then a Rapi, or simply use it to get out a Rapi 3/2 for free if you have the combo hand. Rapi healing to stock for hand helps this deck out since its top end is pretty powerful, but heavy on resources. Try to make sure a 3/2 Modernia sticks around. You can use the 3/0 counter event to send her to memory to hopefully shut off one of your opponent’s lanes from attacking or finishing the game. (It should be noted that the power level of this combo is being run in some variants of the competitive deck.)

I’m a new player who has played this combined TD quite a bit. How can I update my deck without changing the climax combos on a budget?

If there is one thing Nikke set has, it’s a ton of great deck upgrades at lower rarity levels! Honestly, it’s a challenge to narrow it down into an actual deck.

Here are some options to consider:

Of these options, I’d mostly prioritize the on color (yellow/red) tech, as well as one of the available climax swaps. The other red 3/2 Modernia doesn’t work exactly with the event counter, but has some other tech plays that might help out deck builds. 

Sample TD+ with Budget Set Upgrades:

Deck Code: 71D0Y

Quick Pilot Guide:

This variant of the deck upgrades the Level 0 game to help you get your Level 1 and 3 games to fire. The deck has similar goals to the original TD+, but adding in the Rapi 0/0 gives you some extra draw/filter. There is more than one climax swap option, but I decided to stick with the most basic 0/0 that on play pays a stock, ditches a climax to swap a climax. I’ve also added in a tech 1 of the 1/0 brainstormer as she can be played as a Level 1 attacker and two other characters can be rested for her brainstorm option. At Level 3 I have teched in 2 copies “Pure Love” Modernia with 2 copies of the 0/0 Marian that can replace her on play stock cost. If you’re not caring for how the deck is running, feel free to begin swapping these 4 cards out for other 0 techs and another TD+ Modernia.

Upgrades for when there’s some extra change in the wallet after payday:

Sample TD+ with Set Upgrades:

Deck Code: 101R2

Quick Pilot Guide:

Here is an upgraded “pay day” build that keeps the two TD+ climax combos. Priority adds are the 3/2 Alice early play and the 0/0 Tia, both of whom are common finds in some of the more competitive builds of the set. I’ve swapped in Red Hood as a more traditional brainstormer, but if you have access to the Shop/Meister Cup Iron Crown PR below I would probably swap that in instead (it can grab climaxes and events, as well as provide extra mill). The goal is to build resources to early play Alice, which forces your opponent to deal with your Level 3 early play, and then go into Rapi/Modernia for the end game with the event being an option to counter your opponent’s end game.

If you have access to this Shop/Meister Cup PR definitely consider it in an upgraded build!

I’m ready to make this into a competitive deck. What are my options?

One of the more competitive decks for this series happens to keep several tech cards from the TD+, including the Modernia 3/2 and 3/0 event counter, as well as the 0/0 Scarlet. If, along the way, you invested in the 0/0 Tia, 0/0 Rapi, and the 3/2 Alice RRs they will also help you get to what is considered right now to be the more competitive deck variants. Sadly none of the climax combos from the TD+ get preserved in true meta builds, as the Level 1 Dorothy combo gets swapped for the 1/0 Anis combo in the 8 choice deck, and the 1/0 Modernia combo with Comeback (Door) Trigger is preferred in many of the other meta builds. The Gold Bar and Gate (Pants) decks also swap in their new specific combos. The 3/2 Rapi Choice combo from the TD+ is still seen in some 8 choice builds for the set.  The cards below are some of the top end pieces that help steer this towards that list.
