Goddess of Victory: NIKKE “B-SIDE IDOL” Event and Update Overview

New SSR Nikke: Mint

Okay, so I just unlocked Mint, and she’s awesome! She’s a super popular singer and the leader of this group called T.T. STAR. She’s a Supporter, meaning she helps my team, and she’s really versatile. Depending on whether she’s using her special ability – her Burst Skill – she can either buff my allies to make them stronger, or heal them up when they’re hurting. It’s like getting two Supporters in one!

Mint is friendly and considerate to most people, but she’s also firm about setting boundaries. If she decides someone isn’t deserving of her attention, she won’t even bother with a polite smile.

She asks, “What kind of pose would you like? Something cute, perhaps a heart? It’s the least I can do…”

Mint is a character who uses the Coyly Star rocket launcher, has the Iron code, and is part of the Tetra Line. You’ll be able to recruit her through a special banner running from May 14th to June 4th, 2026. Once the banner ends, she’ll become available in the standard Recruit, Social Point Recruit, and as a Mold item.

New Story Event: B-SIDE IDOL

The biggest news in this update is the new story event, B-SIDE IDOL. It follows Mint, a beloved idol across the Ark, whose life is shaken up when she meets a man who doesn’t seem impressed by her usual performances and attention.

Mint, a beloved pop star across the Ark, enjoys a charmed life filled with adoration from her fans. But her world is shaken when a man from her past suddenly reappears. Despite receiving a personalized experience meant for devoted fans, he seems strangely unaffected, sparking Mint’s competitive spirit…

Mint’s curiosity is sparked, leading to a story that explores the personal lives, relationships, and challenges of being an idol. This special event, happening from May 14th to May 28th, 2026, will feature live performances, collectible rewards, and a tough boss battle challenge.

Rerun Characters

This update reintroduces several characters for a limited time. First up is SSR EVE, a powerful attacker who focuses on dealing extra damage with critical hits and weakening enemies with elemental effects. She’ll be followed by SSR Raven, who gets even stronger as you destroy parts of the enemy.

SR Lily is back in action and available through the new MEMORIES TELLER Archives event! Plus, for a limited time, Mint, EVE, and Raven will be available for testing in the Union Shooting Range.

New Costumes and Costume Reruns

Mint is getting a new look called “Fresh Mint,” which comes with full voice acting and is available through the FRESH MINT PASS. Several popular costumes are also back, including “Scarlet – Racer’s High,” “EVE – Skin Suit,” “EVE – Neurolink Suit,” and “Raven – Midsummer Alice.”
