Guns, Girls, and Tactical Action: Lycoris Recoil Collab Lands in NIKKE

NIKKE x Lycoris Recoil Collab Overview

GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE teams up with Lycoris Recoil for a limited-time collaboration that blends high-speed gunplay with stylish anime flair. This crossover introduces new SSR agents, a free collab unit, themed costumes, story content, and progression events designed to reward both collectors and active players.

More than just cosmetic hype, this collaboration reinforces NIKKE’s trend toward anime-driven crossover units that arrive with full event ecosystems—story chapters, banners, mini-games, and system updates—making participation feel meaningful rather than optional.

Collab Timeline and Event Schedule

The NIKKE x Lycoris Recoil collaboration rolls out in phases, with staggered banners and content drops across the event window.

• February 5 – Full collaboration PV release

• February 12 – March 12 – Main collab event launch, maintenance, and first banner

• February 19 – March 12 – Takina Inoue banner opens

• March 12 – All collab banners and events conclude

Players should plan pulls and event progress carefully, as all collaboration content is time-limited.

New Playable Lycoris Recoil Characters

Chisato Nishikigi (SSR)

• Weapon Type: Submachine Gun (SMG)

• Role: High-mobility suppressive DPS

Chisato enters NIKKE as a fast-paced SSR agent built around evasive movement and sustained suppressive fire. Her SMG-focused kit emphasizes battlefield control, while her pistol-based burst attacks allow her to capitalize on openings during Full Burst windows.

She is available exclusively through her limited-time recruitment banner during the event period.

Takina Inoue (SSR)

• Weapon Type: Sniper Rifle (SR)

• Role: Long-range precision DPS

Takina specializes in high-damage, long-range engagements, delivering consistent sniper pressure with a backup pistol for close encounters. Her kit favors disciplined positioning and burst timing, making her a strong pick for boss content and backline-focused compositions.

Her banner becomes available starting February 19.

Kurumi (SR – Free Unit)

• Weapon Type: Assault Rifle (Drone-based)

• Role: Utility DPS

Kurumi is the collaboration’s free SR unit, obtainable through event missions. She deploys a hacking drone to deal damage and apply pressure, offering solid utility value for both new and mid-game Commanders without requiring gacha investment.

Limited-Time Recruitment Banners
