NIKKE Launches Major Lycoris Recoil Collaboration with New Characters, Costumes, and Story Chapters
Level Infinite has officially launched a large scale collaboration update for GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, titled Lycoris Recoil: Lie cause Recoil. The event introduces crossover characters from the popular anime Lycoris Recoil, new limited costumes, a themed minigame, and long awaited main story chapters.
Set at Cafe Sweety, the event begins as mysterious D Waves are detected within the Ark. While investigating, players encounter three unexpected visitors from another world, setting the stage for a crossover story filled with daily life moments and hidden tension.
Three Lycoris Recoil Characters Join the Battlefield
The collaboration introduces three playable characters from Lycoris Recoil, each with unique combat roles and limited availability.
Chisato Nishikigi joins as an SSR Attacker, adapting her combat performance based on her current status. Her Burst Skill significantly boosts her offensive power. She uses an SMG weapon, has the Iron element, and is available through a limited recruitment period from February 12 to March 12, 2026.
Takina Inoue appears as an SSR Supporter, enhancing allied attack power while periodically reducing enemy defense. Her Burst Skill deals true damage. She wields a sniper rifle, carries the Iron element, and becomes available from February 19 to March 12, 2026.
Kurumi is introduced as an SR Supporter and can be obtained directly through the event. Known as a skilled hacker, she specializes in damage over time effects and area damage amplification through her Burst Skill.
Limited Costumes and Visual Highlights
This update includes six new costumes across collaboration and seasonal themes. Highlights include limited outfits for Chisato and Takina inspired by musical performances, special DA training uniforms for both characters, a limited cafe themed costume for Mast, and a seasonal spring outfit for Zwei.
Several costumes feature full voice lines, exclusive Burst animations, and special idle and SD animations, adding strong visual appeal for collectors.
Collaboration Minigame and Event Rewards
Players can enjoy the special rhythm minigame LYCO RECO BEATS, which focuses on the everyday life of the crossover characters. Completing event stages and activities allows players to earn Kurumi, along with Gems, development materials, and surprise relic rewards.
