GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE Overload Gear Optimization Guide

To optimize Overload gear in GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE efficiently, upgrade Level 5 Tier 9 Manufacturer (T9M) Helmets and Gloves on your primary damage carries first, targeting ATK and Elemental Damage lines. Because Custom Modules drop primarily from Special Individual Interception (SII) bosses and select events, you must avoid aggressive rerolling: stop once you hit two functional lines on a single piece, and lock sub-stats only under strict, high-value conditions.

Overload Gear Sub-Stat Priorities

Overload gear permanently binds a piece of Level 5 T9M equipment to a Nikke using one Custom Module, unlocking up to three sub-stat lines. Offensive sub-stats yield their greatest benefit on Helmets and Gloves because those armor slots feature flat offensive base values. Chest and Boot pieces feature defensive base stats, making offensive percentage rolls less impactful on them.

Sub-Stat	Target Archetypes	Priority and Impact
Elemental Damage	Primary DPS carries	Multiplicative damage bonus essential for Solo Raid, Union Raid, and elemental campaign stages.
ATK Increase	Attackers and offensive supports	Universal baseline damage increase affecting all weapon fire and burst skill scaling.
Max Ammunition Capacity	Sustained-fire units, machine guns, sniper rifles	Reduces reload downtime for sustained damage dealers like Modernia and Alice. Avoid on "last bullet" mechanics (e.g., Dorothy).
Charge Speed / Charge Damage	Rocket launchers, sniper carries	Helps charge-based attackers reach specific attack cycle and burst charge thresholds.
Critical Damage / Critical Rate	General damage dealers	Secondary value; provides smaller overall damage increases compared to raw ATK or Elemental Damage.
Hit Rate / Defense	Shotguns (Hit Rate only) / Tanks	Low priority; generally treated as dead stats outside of shotgun pellet spread reduction.

Managing Custom Modules and Reroll Costs

Custom Modules are scarce. Locking a sub-stat to preserve it permanently increases the module cost of subsequent rerolls on that piece. Apply these rules to avoid exhausting your reserves:

Establish a two-line baseline: Never hunt for three maximum-percentage rolls on a single gear piece early in account progression. One strong ATK or Elemental Damage line paired with a usable secondary stat is sufficient for most content.
Focus resources on main carries: Keep support and utility units at their base Overload transformation. Do not spend additional Custom Modules rerolling Burst I or Burst II supports until your primary campaign and raid carries are fully functional.
Lock only build-defining stats: Lock a line only if it rolled a high-tier percentage on an indispensable attribute, such as Max Ammunition on Alice or high Elemental Damage on a primary raid attacker.
Maintain a safety buffer: Keep at least 10 Custom Modules in reserve before rerolling a piece that already has an acceptable baseline. This prevents stranding a core damage dealer with worse stats if your rolls miss.

When managing your gems and Advanced Recruit Vouchers during updates featuring new Bunny squad members and returning limited recruits:

Check pool availability: Standard Bunny squad recruits enter the ordinary recruit pool, Social Point recruit, and manufacturer molds after their rate-up banners end. They can be placed on the Ordinary Recruit wishlist later.
Prioritize limited reruns: Seasonal limited units do not join the standard recruit pool after their departure. If a returning limited character is necessary for your raid compositions, prioritize your summon resources there.
Reserve Gold Mileage: Save 200 Gold Mileage Tickets exclusively for true limited units or 1% rate-up Pilgrim releases. Never spend Gold Mileage on standard 2% rate-up characters.
