Intro
Collection Items is a new feature in the game that has been introduced an update in May 2024. Collection items give a lot of stats, and bonus effects that are unique to every class. These items can be acquired my clearing main missions (one-time), Solo raids, and monthly dispatches.
This system is in-place to make end game grinding a bit more… creative ✨, as this system is also very reliant on luck, similarly to the overload system.
Dolls are PERMANENTLY stuck on a Nikke once they have been assigned to one.
What are Collection Items?
Collection items are dolls that increase your stats by a fair margin, while also providing unique buffs to different classes. The stats increased are HP, Def, and ATK. These dolls are also great in simply increasing CP, which helps lessen the negative effects of CP deficit
R Dolls Stat/lvl
SR Dolls Stat/lvl
Unique buffs explained
Some terms are worded awkwardly and can be easily misunderstood, i’ll explain these buffs in detail, with a “priority guide” for each weapon class.
AR Core Damage
Increased Core Damage is NOT multiplicative, and serves as additional damage to the already existing weapon core damage multiplier.
So, this would mean it would be:
17.04% + 200% = 217.04% Core damage + other multipliers.
Which is great buff HOWEVER, AR’s can barely hit cores in general. Realistically, in most boss fights, AR Nikkes would hit the core less than <100 times in a full 3 minute round, and that’s being generous. Just treat this toy as a stat buffer.
Priority:
- Snow white – Burst can easily hit core, where most of her damage lies
- Scarlet
- 2B
- Your preferred DPS’s
MG Max Ammo
Self explanatory. Gives MG’s more max ammo. This buff is additive to Nikke Buffs and overload lines from Overloaded equipment.
Priority:
- Modernia
- Ludmilla: Winter Owner – Lower Than Mod Because Ludmilla has self Reload buffs to mitigate her MG ammo issues
- Crown
- Rem
- Guillotine
Sniper and Rocket Launcher Charge Damage
Charge Damage Multiplier
The Sniper and Rocket Launcher gives the same buff, Charge Damage Multiplier
Charge Damage Multiplier ▲ is different from Charge Damage ▲.
Charge Damage Multiplier is MULTIPLICATIVE (1.0947 x 250/350%)
Charg Damage is ADDITIONAL (10% + 250%/350%)
The Damage Multiplier however, does not “multiply” any charge damage buffs, as it multiplies the base charge damage (250%/350%)
So it would look like:
250% (Base) x Charge damage Multiplier ▲ + Charge damage ▲ = New Charge Damage
Priority: (Snipers)
- Red Hood
- Alice
- Maxwell
Priority: (Rocket Launchers)
- Scarlet: Black Shadow – Simply for stat buff
- Emilia
- Laplace with Treasure
- A2
- Jackal/Noah/Noise – For PvP stat boosting
SG and SMG Normal Attack Damage Multiplier
Normal Attack Damage Multiplier
Similarly to Sniper and Rocket Launcher Dolls, Normal Attacks are multiplied by the Normal Attack Damage Multiplier ▲
So it’ll be 259.2% (Anis: Sparkling Summer) x 1.xx(Normal Attack Damage Multiplier)
Priority (Shotguns)
- Soda: Twinkling bunny/Privaty: Unkind Maid – Much lower if no Shotgun team ready
- Anis: Sparkling Summer
- Naga
- Noir
- Soda: Twinkling Bunny/Privaty: Unkind Maid – If no Shotgun Team
- Drake/Sugar/Maiden
Priority (SMG)
- Liter – CP boosting for Campaign
- Soline – If raised for Solo Raid Iron weak
- Mast/Novel/Volume
Def, Damage Taken, Cover HP
SR dolls actually give a decent amount of Def, and can actually help survivability of Nikkes, especially when paired with Damage taken down and Cover HP.
Rather self Explanatory
Where to get Collection Items?
Collection Items are first acquired when clearing campaign 6-4 Normal. These are later consistently acquired in dispatch missions and solo raid completions (First time completions).
How do you put on Collection Items?
The Commander can put on Collection items from the Nikkepedia Menu.
Collectibles from Tactics Academy (+ Re-rolling)
Collectibles can be first acquired fromdispatchwhen learning lesson 5-4 from the academy. the rarity of items found in these special dispatches will be improved at lessons 11-2, 11-3, 12-2, 13-2, and 13-3. These dispatches differ from the normal dispatches and will have their own pool, maximum of 5 special dispatches at max academy level.
Re-rolling Dispatch for Collectibles (Semi-Important)
Re-rolling for the Mileage box may seem optimal but it’s not in the long run. Solo Raid should handle the lack of dolls, but will take awhile. Upgrading the SR dolls to max level will take even longer (Unless you’re extremely lucky).
This is due to how much EXP SR dolls need, there is simply not enough tool kit economy, and realistically, the Commander will be coping for super success chances.
Since normal dispatches and special dispatches get refreshed together, manually dispatch the high priority normal dispatches first (Gems, Core Dust) then refresh if wanted. Usually if there is 6+ unwanted dispatches, refreshing will partially refund or even net some gain in most cases.
The Commander should aim for Elite Maintenance Kits (Orange) if possible. Priority would be:
Elite Maintenance Kits (2x) -> Maintenance Kit Box II (2x) -> Elite Maintenance Kits (1x) -> Intermediate Maintenance Kit (2-3x) -> Maintenance Kit Box II (1x) -> Maintenance Kit Box I (1-2x) -> Beginner Maintenance Kit (2-3x)
Note: Maintenance Kit Boxes don’t give all the rewards that are listed, just one of them. The odds are heavily skewed into getting Beginner Maintenance Kits
If the Commander doesn’t want to think too hard, just keep special dispatch 4* kits and above.
Leveling up Collectible Items + Guide
It’s pretty easy to slap any types of kits into dolls at the start, but that’s probably a bad idea as there’s heavy RNG involved. The Commander wants to reduce the RNG as much as possible or they’d pretty much be stuck at doll levels for long periods of time, ESPECIALLY for SR dolls.
Super Success
There is a system called Super Success. Super success grants a chance to skip levels. There are 15 phrases in each doll, and 3 “checkpoints”. Super successes immediately take the doll to the next checkpoint, and the levels skipped will depend on what level in which checkpoint the doll is in. Checkpoints being 1-5, 5-10, 10-15
R -> SR Doll Exp Transfer
It is mathematically optimal to level up R dolls first (if applicable) to phase 15, then upgrade it to an SR doll. This is because R dolls have a higher odds of super success in proportion to EXP needed. A fully upgraded R doll will convert to a phase 5 SR doll.
Leveling up Guide
We mentioned previously that it is mathematically optimal to level up R dolls first, then transfer convert the EXP when SR doll are acquired. Since Elite Maintenance kits are sparse, it is recommended to save them for SR dolls. The recommended usage of kits per doll/lvl are as follows:
R 1-14: Strictly Blues
SR 1-10: Blues/Purples
SR 10-13: Orange
14: Blue/Purple/Orange
Super Success rates are horrid at later SR doll levels, which is why it is recommended to save Elite Maintenance kits/try to acquire a lot of them from dispatches.
How To unlock Treasures + What are Treasures
Current Characters with Treasures
Nikke | Treasure Mat Name |
UV Vacumn Cleaner | |
Train Track Set | |
AA Batteries | |
Super Ultrafine Fiber Cleaner |
Treasures are unlocked when a SR doll is max’d out (Phase 15) and the Nikke has a treasure option available. Converting SR dolls to treasures require no special mats, however upgrading treasures will require special mats found in special dispatch and solo raids. The Nikke in question needs to be bond level 30 as well, which means 2 dupes are needed.
Phrase 1 -> 2 = 50 Special mats
Phrase 2 -> 3 = 110 Special mats
Misc Info
Solo Raid Economy (First Attempts + Repeated Attempts)
This is the Economy of Dolls/Kits acquired from Solo raid, which happens once a month. This is under the assumption the player can complete all levels.
- 6 random R dolls
- 2 random SR dolls
- 1 SR doll Selector
- 30 Random Favorite Maintenance Items
- 12× Maintenance Kit Box I
- 17× Maintenance Kit Box II
Mileage Shop
The mileage shop rotates between characters who have treasures (S1). There is also a Favorite Item Season 1 Nikke Selection Box that uses gold Mileage, HOWEVER these do NOT give the treasures, just a base copy or dupe of said character.
The option that uses ordinary mileage tickets are only for BODIES (dupes), and will not give you the base copy of shown Nikke.
Doll Priority
Priority on which dolls to get first when excluding Treasures. This assumes complete box.
- Sniper Rifle Doll – A lot of Meta DPS’s are snipers, Extremely strong buff
- SG / RL Dolls – Strong buffs, and each weapon type have Meta Nikkes respectively
- AR Doll – Realistically, only Snow White benefits from the Doll’s buff, Lower in Priority if SW has a doll already or the player lacks Snow white
- MG Doll – Rather underwhelming buff. This is due to Overloaded equipment offering the same buff, and the buff % itself is very low
- SMG Doll – Strong buff, but there are no Viable SMG DPS’s as of now. Pretty much just Liter CP padding for Campaign
Combining
4 R dolls are needed for a chance of it to combine into a SR doll. Realistically, expect Intermediate (20x) or Elite Kits (10x)
