The Nikke meta in June 2026 is built around a small group of supports and attackers that warp team composition around themselves. Crown and Little Mermaid set the pace for buffs and healing, while Rapi: Red Hood and Scarlet: Black Shadow handle the heaviest damage windows. If you are starting fresh, the goal of rerolling is simple. Land at least one of these meta-defining units before you commit to an account.
Best Nikke units to reroll for (June 2026)
Top resources rank characters with a modern T0–T4 scale, where T0 means a unit defines the meta and no alternative replaces it. The reroll-worthy names cluster at the very top of that scale. Liter stays on the list because she is easy to obtain and provides cooldown reduction, cover repair, and an attack buff that almost every team wants.
| Priority | Unit | Role | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest | Crown | Support | Attack buffs, HP recovery, and burst generation in one kit. |
| Highest | Little Mermaid | Healer | Healing that scales with attack, plus debuff cleanse. |
| Highest | Rapi: Red Hood | Attacker | Highest burst damage during full-burst windows. |
| Highest | Scarlet: Black Shadow | Attacker | Self-sufficient damage that does not need premium supports. |
| Highest | Liter | Support | Cooldown reduction and team attack boost; easy to acquire. |
| High | Modernia | Attacker | Strong wave clear; also a free Anniversary unit. |
| High | Cinderella | Attacker | Dedicated single-target boss killer. |
| Mid | Alice | Burst gen | Reliable burst meter and strong late-game scaling. |
| Mid | Nayuta | Attacker | Versatile damage that fits almost any composition. |
Two pairs are worth noting because their kits are largely locked unless they are used together. Blanc and Noir (the Bunny Twins) and Naga and Tia (the School Girls) deliver oppressive team buffs when fielded as a set, so landing either pair counts as a high-value reroll result.
Nikke tier list by game mode
Rankings change depending on the content. Story campaign rewards wave clear and sustain, boss content rewards single-target burst and attack buffs, and the two do not always overlap. Use the breakdown below to decide which units to invest in first based on what you play most.
| Tier | Story campaign | Boss content |
|---|---|---|
| T0 | Little Mermaid, Crown, Alice | Rapi: Red Hood, Crown, Scarlet: Black Shadow, Nayuta |
| T1 | Rapi: Red Hood, Nayuta, Cinderella, Grave | Cinderella, Alice, Dorothy: Serendipity |
| T2 | Modernia, Liter, Helm: Aquamarine | Grave, Liter |
A few characters that once topped older lists have shifted. The original Scarlet now sits well below her Alter version, and the original Privaty has been overtaken by Crown and Little Mermaid, with only her Treasure variant staying relevant. Always confirm which version of a character a ranking refers to, since the base unit and the Alter can be tiers apart.
How to reroll in Nikke with salted emails
Rerolling means making new accounts and playing to Stage 2-1, where the mail system unlocks. By that point, you have 11 pulls on the regular banner (including the 10 tutorial pulls) plus roughly 4,390 gems, which adds about 14 more pulls. The account with the best units becomes your main. The salted-email method needs a Gmail address and lets you reuse one inbox for many accounts.
Step 1: Download Goddess of Victory: NIKKE from the Google Play listing or the App Store listing, then open the game and start the registration flow on the PC client or mobile.
Step 2: Register with a salted email. Add a "+" and any text between your name and the @gmail.com part, so name@gmail.com becomes name+reroll1@gmail.com. Numbers work best for tracking, and you should record each one in a sheet or text file.
Step 3: Play through until you clear Stage 2-1 and the mail system opens. Collect the gems and rewards from your in-game mail, and remember to grab the extra pull waiting in the mission tab.
Step 4: Spend every pull in the recruit menu. If you do not land a top unit, log out and start again with the next salted email. When you finally get the units you want, bind that account to a social platform so you can recover it without remembering the salted address.
Reroll by renaming the game folder (mobile)
If you would rather not cycle emails, a guest account combined with a folder rename clears your progress between attempts. This route only suits mobile devices and involves longer loading times than the PC client.
Step 1: Launch the game on a Guest account and play through the tutorial until you reach the summon screen. Do your pulls, and if you are not happy with the result, close the game completely.
Step 2: Open the File Manager, go to the Android folder, and find the com.proximabeta.nikke folder. Rename it to something like com.proximabeta.nikke1.
Step 3: Clear the app storage from Settings, under Apps and Notifications, then NIKKE, then Storage, then Clear Storage. This wipes the local account data tied to the run you just abandoned.
Step 4: Rename the folder back to com.proximabeta.nikke, relaunch the game, and start a fresh tutorial. Repeat until your pulls include a high-priority unit.
How to know your reroll worked
The tutorial banner does not include Pilgrims, so aim to pull Liter from that tutorial summon if you can. Standard and Advanced summons share the same Pilgrim rates, meaning the banner choice does not change how many Pilgrims you receive. A reroll is finished when your roster includes at least one of the highest-priority units listed above, ideally a meta support like Crown or Little Mermaid alongside a strong Attacker.
Once that account is bound to a social login, stop rerolling and start progressing. Liter, Alice, and Naga eventually become selectable from the normal banner every 100 summons, so their absence early on is not a reason to throw away an otherwise strong start.
