NIKKE Daily Routine & Recommended Settings for New Players
Daily checklist, unlock milestones and beginner-friendly settings.
Updated: 2026-08-02
NIKKE resets daily at 5am. A solid daily routine covers collecting Outpost rewards, sending Friend Points to your up-to-30 friends (which feeds a 2% SSR gacha via Social Points), running dispatch, doing a liaison chat to raise affection, clearing Simulation Room, Interception, Tribe Tower and Arena, and finishing the 100-point daily mission for 100 free jewel. There is no stamina system, so you should simply push story campaign until you lose, since Outpost income scales with your story progress.
The daily checklist
After the 5am reset, work through these each day:
- Collect Outpost income
- Send Friend Points (up to 30 friends), which build Social Points toward a 2% SSR gacha
- Run dispatch
- Do a liaison chat to raise affection with a nikke
- Clear Simulation Room
- Clear Interception
- Clear Tribe Tower
- Fight in Arena
- Complete the 100-point daily mission for 100 free jewel
Unlock milestones
Key systems unlock at specific story chapters, confirmed directly from the developer:
- Simulation Room: Story 1-4
- Outpost: Story 2-12
- Synchro Device: Story 4-15
Progressing the campaign is therefore not just about combat — it directly gates access to income and progression systems you will rely on for the rest of the game.
Synchro Device explained
Once unlocked at Story 4-15, the Synchro Device lets your 5 highest-level nikkes share their level with the rest of your roster. Key details:
- Non-limit-broken SSR units can be raised to level 160 this way (or a 2-limit-broken SR)
- Reaching level 200 requires a 3-limit-broken SSR among your top 5
- Resetting a nikke's level costs 10 jewel and fully refunds every resource spent on that level-up, so resetting to reallocate is safe to do freely
- Skill levels and affection are NOT affected by a level reset — only character level resets
Recommended settings for new players
New players often find combat feels chaotic until adjusting a few settings:
- Turn off "Target Appears" popups
- Turn off "NIKKE auto-switch," especially if you plan to control targeting manually — leaving it on tends to feel erratic
- Push Aim Assist up to maximum
- Enable the Aim Assist Line for clearer shot alignment
Since there is no stamina system limiting your plays, it is worth saving time-limited items (like "◯時間" boost items) for mid-to-late game, when your Outpost is at a higher level and each hour of boosted income is worth more.
