Hello, this is Iri, and today we’re going to talk about how to survive the hardest Love
Nikki event format yet.
You probably don’t believe me when I say it’s the hardest, but I think you’ll get
where I’m coming from after you hear all the requirements.
Also, a disclaimer that if you end up absolutely hating this event format, please let the developers
know over at the official Facebook page.
I don’t work for the game and am just here trying to make things easier for players as
much as I can, as a player myself.
I plan to take a very long nap after this.
Ok so the actual monster that we’re tackling.
It’s an event that we refer to as the “Tower” format.
In fact, you’ve already seen a version of this whenever the Tea Party girl welfare event
came to the English server back when the Garden of Spiraling Staircase hell event was held.
So here you’re probably like, well, it wasn’t hard, you just like, got a selection of random
clothes from the game and then did styling battles.
Easy.
But remember, back during that event, you were able to battle with a selection from
the entire game wardrobe, even if you actually didn’t own the items.
What’s different about this upcoming event is that you’ll be allocated a portion of
your own clothes, about 100 - 500-something items from your own wardrobe.
This means that if your collection percentage in game is low and you don’t have that many
clothes to begin with, basically here, if this number is low, you’ll be in a very
difficult position.
Because what happens next is that, well you’ll be using these clothes to battle a total of
10 - 15 stages, i.e. metaphorically, to climb the tower.
And if your clothes suck, it’ll get very hard to win the battles at one point because
you can only use each item once.
Now what does this actually look like in practice, so here we are on the first floor and the
system tells me that it has given me 519 items and that I can only use each of them once
until I reach a reset point, which we’ll talk about in a bit.
And here we are faced with two doors essentially, these two icons, you get to pick which door
to open.
If you open up to a white one, you’d have to battle twice, and then face a boss level.
However, if you open to a gold one, you just have to battle once before you face the boss.
And I was actually lucky this time and got the gold.
This pop up message here will also tell you what your opponent’s score will be around.
And then it’s time to gear up.
This is where the game tests you whether you know how to use the search function.
There’s really no automated guide that can tell you what to wear because your clothes
will be random and different every time.
There are no lazy suits either, so be sure to listen carefully.
You saw just now that this level asked for Elegant and Pure clothes.
So you’ll just search for those.
For the first few levels though, only put on maybe like a dress.
And you might have caught it, I didn’t even search for both attributes.
Because the idea here is to conserve your better clothes for the later and much harder
levels.
So if you don’t remember anything else from this video, remember that conservation principle.
No worries, though we’ll go through all the pro tips here in a bit.
Now if you win, you obviously get currency that’ll let you pick up parts of the event
suit.
The higher your win grade though, the more currency you’ll get.
Then you just climb as many levels as you can.
And after 72 hours, you’ll be able to reset the wardrobe that the system gave you for
free.
If you want to do it any earlier than that it’s 50 diamonds per reset.
Now the section that I think will be most worth your time listening to: Pro tips, as
shared by many, many Chinese server players over multiple rounds and hundreds of battles.
So it’ll just be me talking but I really do think this will be valuable to you.
Protip #1 is to do this event while it’s running, even if you hate it, because you
can get the event suit for free during the event.
So as long as you win enough to get 92 event currency every 72 hours, you can have the
suit for free.
But if you wait for it to come back for crafting, you have to spend 400 diamonds to buy the
crafting designs, and then up to 1,153 diamonds for the crafting materials.
Of course, if you already have some of the materials, your cost will be lower, same if
you have VIP discount, but you might as well just suffer now so you can use those diamonds
for suits you do like later.
#2, if you don’t have these items already, get them.
It’s the hair called Famous Party Lady, you can craft it, and this top, Language of
Hunting (Epic).
Why these 2 items?
As long as you have them in your own wardrobe somewhere, they’ll give you 2 additional
event currency every battle.
That’s a lot of currencies, and you don’t even have to be wearing them.
So definitely pick these up if you aim to finish the event during this run and don’t
have them already.
Now pro tip #3, which is a really big one, is what to wear at what level.
So again, for the first 2 levels, just put on like a dress with 1 or both required attributes
and maybe a hair.
And then try to land your charming or smile on the required attributes.
Pile on your other, good items in the later levels.
Because since you only get to use each item once, you won’t have stuff to put on for
the ultra-hard levels if you have already used them all at the beginning.
When you get up to level 3, that’s when you should consider putting on shoes, hairs,
socks, and some accessories.
And when you’re finally at the very last level, 4 or 5, ideally you’ll want to dress
up your Nikki so fully that she’s a Christmas tree because her opponent’s score will be
very high at that point.
You can kind of gauge the quality of clothes by their number of stars, roughly.
So the later levels are where you’d want to pile on the 5 or 6 star clothes.
#4.
What if you don’t have any clothes that meet the required attribute of the level.
So watch out for situations when you only have maybe 1 item left for a set combination
of attributes.
For example, if I’m only on level 2, and it’s asking for cute and pure clothes, but
I only have 1 cute and pure clothes left that’s a 5 star, if I use it now, I’m not gonna
have any later.
So what you do here is instead of searching for cute and pure, you’d search for the
next highest attribute for the level, which I have listed out for you here and will also
provide in the pinned comment and on my Instagram.
Many, many thanks to the Chinese server players who documented this please.
So for instance, for this stage, the attribute that’s weighed the most *after* cute and
pure is lively.
So if you don’t have a lot of good clothes left, instead of searching for cute and pure,
I may want to search for cute + lively, or pure + lively.
That way, I can save my super sparkly 5 star cute and pure clothes for the harder levels.
And #5, which is a super pro tip: Cool and Warm management.
This one relates to the tip just before.
So if you didn’t know, our game has very few items with Cool or Warm attributes.
Far fewer than all the other attributes like Simple.
So with that in mind, save all your cool and warm clothes for later and pick the second,
or third highest attributes for your levels in the chart here to search for in the earlier
battles.
If the system just didn’t get you any warm or cool clothes period, try to look for clothes
that even though they don’t have the attributes per se, but look like they’d keep you warm
in the winter and cool in the summer.
For example, if we filter here to all the levels that ask for Cool, we’ll notice that
a lot of them also ask for elegant clothes.
So if we absolutely have 0 Cool items, look for elegant and gorgeous or maybe elegant
and simple, depending on the level and then pick clothes that look skimpy.
And similar concept for when you have 0 Warm items, but look for clothes with more layers.
#6.
Normally, aim to have at least 20,000 points above your opponent.
Whenever you get to a boss level, which will be indicated by this bigger icon at the bottom,
it’s recommended to go for 22k - 24k above your opponents, because they can take your
Nikki’s shoes or socks.
And #7, for a player who gets familiar with this, climbing all 5 levels takes about 20
- 30 minutes of suffering.
Remember that you have 72 hours to do 5 levels though, before the next free reset, so spread
the levels across those 72 hours and try not to do everything all together on the last
day, because I did that my first time, and it was pretty painful.
Alright, I think that’s the most I’ve talked in a long time and I’ve tried to
capture a list of tips both more general and more hard core.
Again, it’s not my favorite format either, but we’ll have to survive together.
And if you’re wondering why on Earth did we just not have the same Tea Party format.
Interesting story is that this event actually came out way earlier than the Tea Party format.
So there are a few of these known Tower events.
The first was in 2018 with this suit.
And it was awful because we had to keep battling for an entire month, and the score requirements
were even worse.
And then after the Chinese server players flooded the official channels with feedback,
in 2019, this suit came out, with the event period reduced to only 15 days.
And then the Tea Party girls came out later with the much more reasonable and easier format.
The English server just happened to have had the Tea girls first.
Again, it wasn’t my decision so if you’re unhappy with it, the best place to vent would
be on the official Facebook page.
And oh, I guess before we leave, we should look at the event suit itself.
It does come with a pose that’s cute.
To be honest though, the rest of the items aren’t very memorable.
However, there is a version of this umbrella where it’s a moveable item and you can use
it in addition to the umbrella that’s already included in the pose.
And then these yellow flowers, sometimes they’re you know, surprising accents that you can
use, or add to your SC entries.
I’ve also made 2 I guess, semi-entries, half-entries here?
So you can see as examples of how the pose can be integrated into a scene.
Ok I think that’s really it from me today now.
Thank you so much for listening!
I know that was more dense than usual for my other videos, but if you found it helpful,
please consider liking and subscribing because it did take a lot of time to make and it would
mean a lot to me if you can subscribe.
So thank you so much again.
And it’s ok, we’ll get through this one together.
I’ll see you next time!
