How to obtain Collectible Items

Before you read the guide

Collectible items’ rarity do not have anything to do with whom you can equip them into.

Blue dolls can and should be used by SSR units, the only restriction it’s on the Favorite Items (more on that below).

Collectible items are obtainable through Solo Raid and daily dispatch missions.

For special events, we also get packs in the shop that will sell both doll selectors and materials to level them up for a good price (if you are a whale).

These packs are not recommended for light spenders since the amount of gems you get are kind of bad.


Limitations of Collectible Items

When you equip a Collectible Item, you cannot remove it, so make sure you are absolutely ok with putting a doll on that specific NIKKE.

We recommend that if you do use the limited dolls you have, that you target characters you use very often, starting with DPS units and then moving to others.


How to level up Collectible Items

NIKKE collectible items level up system

To level up Collectible and Favorite items, you need “maintenance kits” which you can obtain through the same means as the item themselves (Solo Raid and Dispatch missions).

Every 10 kits lets you level up aka “Maintain” the item with a possibility of phasing up (which is just a fancy term for level up). Collectibles can go from phase 0 to phase 15, increasing the raw stats and unlocking new skills, just like Harmony Cubes.

After you reach Phase 15, you can transform the Collectible Item into a Favorite Item (for select units). More will be added over time.


Should I level up a blue or purple doll?

Sky made an amazing video going over the math behind leveling up dolls, but you should go from blue doll into purple doll to save resources instead of leveling up a purple doll directly.

However, if you don’t plan on leveling the doll for now and just leave it at level 1, I recommend equipping a purple one instead since the increase in stats it’s a lot higher.


Favorite Items

NIKKE favorite items guide

Not all units can get Favorite Items, for the full list, check our priority guide.

After you get your Purple Doll to Phase 15, you will be able to transform it into a Favorite Item that will extend the character skills and stats.

Note that the character needs to be LB2 (3 copies in total) and bond level 30 for this option to be enabled.

You also unlock new bond stories and a new lobby wallpaper for the character, which is a pretty interesting way to expand on the backstories of some characters.
