The Liberation System is a way to rehabilitate certain NIKKE and get them to join your team for free. You can check the available units and our reviews down below.

This system it’s always been somewhat controversial since it takes a long time to get these units and it’s been abandoned for more than 1.5 years at the time of updating this review (March 2025).

Where can I find the liberation game mode?

You can find this game mode in the elevator in the outpost. You can also click the “NIKKE” tab in the lobby, then “liberation” to access it as well.

How do I get these liberation characters?

You have to do daily missions in order to get them, which often are related to your normal daily missions in NIKKE. Depending on the rarity of the mission, you can get 10, 20, or 30 point missions, and you are guaranteed 60 points per day if you reset missions.

You can use 50 gems to reset the missions once you complete them to see if you can get a higher rarity mission, but I would not recommend it since there’s no rush to get the characters.

There are some characters that could be justified to reset missions in order to get them, we will explain which ones on the reviews down below.

Who are the liberation characters?

So far, the liberation characters released are Sin, Guilty, Quency, and Nihilister.

Cube: Resilience or Bastion.

Overload: ATK, elemental damage and max ammunition capacity take priority. After that, hit rate and crit for filler lines.

• The current strongest unit amongst the Liberation units
• One of the best attacker units amongst Burst II units
• Fairly consistent reduce enemy defense debuff (very strong)

• Liberation system sucks, takes really long without using gems to cap out points
• Getting copies is time gated behind Union raid token acquisition

Good DPS for wind type content. She needs to be paired with hyper carries, since she duplicates ATK from other units.

Nihilister

Nihilister

• Takes minimum 90 days to unlock her completely free to play and without gem resets
• Getting dupes is locked behind Union raid, so getting copies is time locked to 1 copy every 2 months (assuming your union is clearing fast)
• For a Pilgrim unit, her damage is noticeably lower than some non Pilgrim Burst 2 units

Decent sustain for DPS units and herself. The % on her skills are small compared to similar units so only used when nothing else is available.

When can you unlock them?

You can unlock the first three once you have reached chapter 6, but you can only unlock Nihilister after beating chapter 20.

For the first three liberation units, they take about 3600 points to unlock and if you get 60 points every day, it should take around two months to get each one.

For Nihilister it’s a little different, as she will take 5400 points, which should take around three months to get her in total. This is all under the assumption that you don’t reset the missions to try to get bonus points.

Are Liberation characters available in the standard pool?

No, they are not available in the standard pool. However, they are fully free to get if you make sure to do the liberation missions daily.

If we talk about dupes, you can get multiple copies by buying their body labels in the union shop. For more information about the union shop, check the union tab on our general shop guide.

Just a friendly reminder that getting all the Liberation characters to MLB (3 dupes + original copy) will take you literal years, so don’t be in a rush.

Which liberation unit is the best one?

At the time of updating this guide (March 2025) none of the characters are worth building outside of Guilty as a niche unit. A little review on each character available on this system:

• Guilty

  • Good DPS units in the Burst 2 category used for elemental raids where raptures are weak to Wind weak characters.
  • She duplicates the ATK or your highest DPS unit, while also buffing ATK and increasing the stack count for all your Wind type allies.

• Sin

  • Sin is a tank that will taunt the whole screen, with the caveat that she doesn’t have any good healing or survivability capabilities. This means her burst turns Sin into a suicide bomb, as she will not be able to keep herself alive.

• Quency

  • An “off tank” that can take quite a bit of hits while also healing, buffing ATK, critical damage and keeping herself alive thanks to Skill 1, which duplicates HP from your highest ATK unit to add to it to herself.
  • She also provides decent damage for an SMG user, but her biggest problem is that she’s a jack of all trades, master of none. The buffs % are not that good and lacks burst generation, making her a mid-unit compared to all the supporters in the Burst 2 category.

• Nihilister

  • Nihilister is an underwhelming Burst 2 unit considering she is a Pilgrim. If you don’t have Crown, she allows a full rotation in the Pilgrim tower.
  • She provides okay-ish DPS with a high burst generation Sniper Rifle and… she doesn’t shut up while fighting, that can be a pro or a con depending on what you like.
