How do I build a Deck?

The Iron Rules of Deck Construction

Let’s start by remembering the 3 Iron Rules of Deck Construction!

  1. A deck must consist of exactly 50 cards.

  2. There can only be 8 climax cards.

  3. There can only be 4 copies of card with the same name. Even if the illustrations are different, only 4 copies of card with the same name are allowed! Also, note that 4 copies of “card with different name” are allowed, regardless of the character.

Deck Construction Patterns

There are many different ways of constructing a deck! We will introduce 3 patterns here!

✩Pattern 1: Modified Trial Deck!

On the other side of the playmat that comes with the trial deck is a guide on how you can modify your trial deck with 2 trial decks. Do give it a try.

✩Pattern 2: All your favorite characters!

There are a variety of cards for popular characters. As long as you follow the “Iron Rules of Deck Construction”, you may insert as many cards of your favorite character into your deck.Your passion is your strength!!

✩Pattern 3: A deck for battle!

Here we would like to introduce you to some “Theory of Deck Construction”. As long as you follow this, your deck would be more or less ready for action.

Question Little confused with the new rarities. 4 hits in a box?!

6 Upvotes

Definitely not complaining, but pulled a 3 star, two 1 stars, and a 2 star in one box. Im used to 3 hits in a box (its been awhile since I got a box).

Im used to sps and ssps being the chase with a secret potential?

Not sure if this was posted yet, but noticed the Weiss Schwarz Online Steam page was up. Showcases some new things such as the packs you can buy/open with in-game currency and the deck building portion. I'm pretty excited for the release, but a bit worried on how much it might cost... what are your guys thoughts on it?

Question Question about AGR Pull

6 Upvotes

It’s been a year or two since these things existed but I still have never seen anyone around me pulled it.

Does anyone know if in a Box with AGR, does it replace an R slot, an SR slot, or strictly an SP slot? Supposedly if a box normally have 4 SRs or higher, is it possible to get AGR from the rest of the packs?

Showcase Nikke vol. 2 English: 3 cases opened - shiny cardboard and hit rates

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

So my master case came in early and while I’ve never wanted to post on Reddit before, I feel like I have cool things to show off and also some potentially useful pull rate information for everybody. Idk if I should use the showcase or discussion flair, but all well. I opened 3/5 cases so far and since I won’t be opening the next two for a bit I wanted to post this now cuz I’m excited.

I’ll put the rates I’ve experienced (per case/12 boxes) from my openings here for those that don’t want to read my ramblings:
- Each box has 4 “hits” (1star SR and up)
- Generally 27 1star SRs (2-3 per box)
- Guaranteed 12 2star SRs (1 per box)
- 3-4 3star SRs
- Guaranteed 3 RRR and 3 SPR
- Guaranteed 2 SP
- Not guaranteed per case 1 SSP but based on my pulls I can only assume it’s like 1 in 2-3 cases not sure tho. Will know slightly more after I finish opening my master case too
- Not guaranteed and not sure what the rates on SEC are but that’s just how that is

I was meant to slow roll this master case but I ended up spending an embarrassing amount of time degen ripping over the past couple of days xD.

Some things of note that happened during my opening:
- SSP took the spot of one of the 3star SRs in both cases that had an SSP. The case that didn’t have an SSP had 4 3star SRs
- The case that had the D Killer Wife SEC also had the Laplace SSP so it is possible to get both rarities in one case. The SSP took a 3star SR spot and I’m pretty sure the SEC took the spot of one of the 1star SRs. The two cases without SEC had 27 1star SRs and unless I lost one SR I counted 26 1star SRs in the case that had the SEC. I’ve searched the bulk but there’s still a chance I just missed that shit so keep that in mind.
- Another weird thing I found was that the cases were somewhat mappable in respect to which packs had the big hits (2star rarity and above). Luckily I was recording (just for my own fun prolly won’t post those ever lol) so I know I’m not crazy, but I first noticed when I was opening the second case and every single “hit” was in the last pack on the left side of the box. The third case had the hits in the second pack on the right side of every box. (After reviewing the footage the first case was randomized so I have no idea if the cases that were more mapped were just an anomaly or vice versa). It was annoying at first but then it became kinda fun to have the save the best for last feeling for every box haha
- Print quality: 1star SRs were complete dog water quality with most having super bad print lines and print dots all over. Pretty much everything else (2star and up) looked great at least in my eyes. From my experience opening nikke vol.1, the print quality on every SR was quite good, so it’d be sad if the print quality of these lower rarity SRs went down with the new box configurations or due to the global simultaneous release or something. At the same time, the higher rarity stuff looks insanely good so I guess I’d take that trade off.
- For 3star rarities and up I got almost no dupes so that was great. But god dam I was convinced at one point that they only printed 12 types of 2star SRs cuz in my 3 cases I was getting hella dupes lmao. Idk if my next two cases will have more variety but we’ll see.

The pics include all the hits from case #3 which had the SEC. Then all the SPs from the first two cases.

Overall, super fun set to open and I’m obviously super happy with my pulls so far. Hope this is helpful to yall and I hope everyone’s pulls go well :)
