GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE Laplace Favorite Item Guide

Upgrading Laplace’s Favorite Item in GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE is well worth the investment if you need an elite Burst III Iron-code attacker for Solo Raids, Union Raids, and the Missilis Manufacturer Tower. Her Favorite Item rectifies her past limitations by adding raw attack scalings, widening her blast radius, and introducing piercing true damage to her Burst Skill beam.

Do not spend premium Advanced Recruit Vouchers or Gold Mileage tickets to chase her. As a permanent Missilis unit, Laplace should be acquired naturally through Ordinary Recruit wishlist slots and spare body items.

How to Unlock the Favorite Item

Unlocking a Favorite Item requires specific character milestones and dedicated maintenance materials:

1. Reach Limit Break 2: You must own at least three total copies of Laplace (the base unit plus two spare bodies).
2. Equip and Maximize an SR Collection Item: Obtain a rocket launcher Collection Item, equip it to Laplace, and upgrade it to Phase 15 using Missilis maintenance kits from dispatches and Simulation Room runs.
3. Ascend to Favorite Item: Complete the conversion and advance the item through Phase 3 to unlock all stages of her enhanced skill multipliers and true damage scaling.

Combat Performance and Role

Baseline Laplace was largely relegated to basic burst generation, as her beam struggled against high-defense single targets. The Favorite Item transforms her Burst Skill, Hero Syndrome, into a consistent true damage cannon that ignores enemy defense ratings entirely. Because the beam pierces through targets, clustered mobs and multi-part bosses take multiple overlapping damage instances per tick.

While she does not replace top-tier Pilgrims like Red Hood or Alice in neutral, single-target damage, she performs at an upper-tier level against Iron-weak bosses and multi-part targets.

Recruitment and Wishlist Strategy

Because Laplace resides in the permanent recruitment pool, prioritize efficient resource management:

• Use Ordinary Recruit: Place Laplace on your 15-Nikke wishlist until you secure the three copies needed for Limit Break 2.
• Conserve Premium Currency: Never spend Gold Mileage or rainbow Advanced Recruit Vouchers on standard Missilis duplicates.
• Leverage Mileage and Selectors: If your main campaign squad already has core carries such as Modernia or Scarlet, spending general or Missilis spare body items from the shop on Laplace is an efficient route to hit Limit Break 2.

Skill Investment Priority

Maintenance kits and skill manuals are limited, so build Laplace using functional thresholds rather than maxing every skill immediately:

• Burst Skill (Hero Syndrome) — Priority 1: Raise this to Level 7 immediately, then push to Level 10. The Favorite Item directly amplifies the true damage percentage tied to this skill.
• Skill 1 (Hero Vision) — Priority 2: Raise this to Level 7. The stacking attack buff increases both her basic launcher fire and her Burst Skill damage.
• Skill 2 (Hero Bomber) — Priority 3: Keep this at Level 4. It offers minor wave clear through extra blast radius and proc damage, but yields the lowest return per manual spent.

Team Compositions and Overload Gear

Laplace requires cooldown reduction and offensive scaling to fire her burst beam as often as possible.

Squad Synergies

• Liter (Burst I): Delivers essential burst cooldown reduction and massive attack buffs that scale Laplace's baseline damage before true damage calculations.
• Tia & Naga (Schoolgirl Core): Amplifies Laplace's output with core damage bonuses and damage-taken debuffs on bosses.
• Blanc & Noir (Bunny Core): Provides reliable healing, universal damage-taken amplification, and passive ammunition management.

Overload Stat Priorities

When modifying Tier 9 Manufacturer equipment to Overload gear, look for these specific attributes:

• Max Ammunition Capacity: Keeps Laplace firing her rocket launcher steadily between bursts with minimal reload interruptions.
• Attack Up: Directly scales the base offensive stat that feeds her true damage percentages.
• Charge Speed: Accelerates her launcher fire to build the team burst gauge faster.
• Elemental Damage: Maximizes total damage output against Iron-weak raid bosses.
• Stats to Avoid: Critical Rate and Critical Damage offer low value because true damage ticks do not scale favorably with critical hit multipliers.
