A collaboration between the Lycoris Recoil anime and the Goddess of Victory: Nikke mobile game will kick off on February 12. A trailer was released on February 5, and more reveals/previews have been made on the Nikke X/Twitter account since.
For the collaboration, players can expect the Lie cause Recoil event, a minigame called Lyco Reco Beats, and the addition of Chisato, Takina, and Kurumi as playable characters. Chisato (SSR) and Takina (SSR) will pack a Suppressive Submachine Gun and Tactical Sniper Rifle, respectively, while Kurumi (SR) has a Remote Hacking Drone (classed as an assault rifle).
There will also be Lycoris Recoil costumes that swap Chisato and Takina’s uniforms for bespoke DA Training Wear outfits or rock band looks. The DA Training Wear cosmetics can be obtained by doing collaboration event mission challenges after getting the relevant character. On the other hand, the music outfits require the FIRST LYCORIS PASS (for Chisato’s Red Spark Guitar) and the SECOND LYCORIS PASS (for Takina’s Blue Pulse Bass).
For the characters themselves, Chisato will become available for recruitment on February 12 post-maintenance, with Takina to follow on February 19 at 5 AM UTC+9. Both will stick around until March 12 at 4:59 AM UTC+9. In Kurumi’s case, she can be obtained by completing a login event or taking on “various events” in the Lie cause Recoil event map.
