Mandatory Updates, Ice Dragons, and the Return of Everyone’s Favorite Winter Waifus – December 5 Patch Notes

Commanders,

The wait is over! The December 5 update is live, the server is open, and it’s time to dive into GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE with a winter-packed punch of new content, events, and characters. But before you log in and start pulling for the latest SSRs, grab a warm drink, clear up some storage space (seriously, 10 GB for new players?), and let’s break this down.

1. New Nikkes: Frosty, Fierce, and Fabulous

SSR Maiden: Ice Rose

Hero Guillotine’s BFF debuts in Limited-Time Recruit, bringing all the icy flair and MP-based buffs your squad could dream of. Just don’t let the “Diamond Dust” weapon fool you—she’s here to melt the competition.

• Class: Defender
• Weapon: Diamond Dust (RL)
• Code: Electric
• Manufacturer: Elysion
• Recruit Duration: Dec. 5–Dec. 26

SSR Guillotine: Winter Slayer

Spring Nation’s savior trades in her usual gear for an icy adventure theme. She’s got EXP-based mechanics to boost herself and her Water Code allies, so grind away for that sweet synergy.

• Class: Attacker
• Weapon: Brave Sword (AR)
• Code: Water
• Manufacturer: Elysion
• Recruit Duration: Dec. 12–Dec. 31

Rerun Spotlight: Ludmilla & Mica Return

Ludmilla: Winter Owner (attacking cores like a pro) and Mica: Snow Buddy (your new go-to buff dispenser) are back for a Limited-Time Recruitment run. Don’t miss them!

2. New Events: Winter Wonderland, But Make It Dangerous

ICE DRAGON SAGA

Winter is doomed unless Guillotine and her crew step up. Take on the White Ice Dragon, explore snowy maps, collect event currency, and claim SR Nikke Neve from the shop. (Also, there’s a new animation—fancy!)

• Duration: Dec. 5–Dec. 26
• Includes Story I, Story II, and a Challenge Stage for those who think they’re built different.

Mini Game: Dragon Dungeon Run

Because who doesn’t love running through trap-filled dungeons in a fantasy world Guillotine dreamed up?

3. Recruit Rules: Gacha Gamers, Rejoice!

Here’s what you need to know:

• 4% SSR Rate: But only a 2% chance for the featured SSR. RNG gods, do your thing.
• Gold Mileage Tickets: Rack up 200 of these bad boys to pity your way to your dream Nikke.

And remember, featured Nikkes disappear from standard pools after their banners end. Pull wisely—or cry trying.

4. New Costume: Vesti Goes Full Ark Mage

Magic meets style with Vesti’s Ark Mage costume, available through the premium ARK MAGE PASS. Pro tip: Completing daily missions levels up the pass, with Advanced Recruit Vouchers and the costume waiting for you at the end.

5. Login Rewards & Burst Days

• 14-Day Login Event: Freebies for showing up, including Advanced Recruit Vouchers.
• Weekend Burst Days: Double rewards in Interception and Simulation Room. Work hard, play harder.

6. Other Winter-Themed Fun

• Outpost Makeover: Winter vibes are in.
• Coordinated Operation: Join forces to take down bosses like Modernia and Chatterbox this month.
• Solo Raid: Coming Dec. 12. Climb those rankings for Gems and Harmony Cube materials.

7. Voiceover Changes: RIP Familiar Voices

Some English voice actresses have temporarily stepped away, so expect new voices for a few Nikkes like Emma, Volume, and Vesti. Think of it as an unexpected remix.

8. Optimization & Bug Fixes

They’ve tightened up gameplay, squashed bugs, and worked on system stability. (Full details are in the System Notice, if you’re the type who reads patch notes cover to cover.)

TL;DR: Log in, update the game (it’s mandatory), claim your compensation, and enjoy the winter madness with icy new Nikkes, frosty events, and fresh cosmetics. Good luck with your pulls, Commanders—and may your Gold Mileage Tickets find a loving home.
