Cubes

How the Cube system works — special support gear for your Commanders in NIKKE.

Cubes are a special piece of equipment attached to each Commander to boost stats or trigger extra effects; there are several types (Resilience, Bastion, Onslaught, Healing, Quantum…) suited to different roles.

Bastion Cube Ammo Refund Refunds a portion of ammo on fire (ammo refund) — has no effect on Nikkes with a 'last bullet' mechanic
Wingman Cube Max Ammo Increases magazine capacity (Max Ammo capacity)
Adjutant Cube Charge Speed Increases Charge Speed
Assault Cube Hit Rate Increases Hit Rate; from level 5 also adds elemental damage (strong element type)

Quantum Cube Burst Generation Increases Burst gauge charge speed (Burst generation)
Relic Vigor Cube Max HP Increases Max HP
Endurance Cube DEF Increases DEF stat
Healing Cube Healing Increases HP Potency (healing received); if the wearer is a Nikke with a healing skill, also increases Heal Provided
Relic Tempering Cube Damage Reduction Reduces incoming damage (damage taken reduction)
Relic Assist Cube Critical at Low HP Increases HP when HP drops to a low threshold (Critical HP, triggers around ~20% HP) — an emergency defensive line.
