The July 23 (Thu) update for Goddess of Victory: Nikke introduced four new Treasures. Treasures are equipment used to upgrade a Nikke's unique Collectible item. They don't just boost stats; they overhaul the entire skill set, allowing for completely new playstyles. In fact, Nikkes like Helm and Maiden rose to Tier 1 immediately upon receiving their Treasures.

The biggest beneficiary of this Treasure update is Sugar. She has been promoted to a dual-code superior Supporter specifically for shotgun decks. Sugar provides powerful superior code buffs to Water and Iron-code shotguns, making her even more valuable given the presence of excellent shotgun damage dealers like Swimsuit Dorothy for Water and Bunny Girl Soda for Iron. Shotgun decks are already highly versatile and frequently used, and it is expected that they will continue to be a go-to choice for Water and Iron-code stages with Sugar included.

There is another Nikke who saw a tier jump on par with Sugar: Flora.

Upon Burst, Flora applies a shield to all allies and provides significant Attack and Defense buffs. She pairs well with defense-ignoring damage dealers like Alt-Vesti, Ein, and Chisato. Furthermore, she provides sustained heals, which can trigger Crown’s buffs, and is currently being actively researched for use in Electric parties, including the Cinderella + Isabel setup. Note, however, that her 40-second Burst cooldown makes it impossible to use her as a solo Burst provider.

While more research is needed, her Treasure is already considered a must-have for users aiming for high scores in Solo Raids.

Rosanna’s Treasure is also worth noting.

Previously, Rosanna was difficult to use in PvE content because her effects only triggered when an ally fell. However, with this Treasure, she gains a 22% Attack increase after 500 normal attacks, stacking up to 10 times. While it takes some time to ramp up, her value increases as the battle drags on.

She also provides high-value Burst damage against small numbers of enemies and a 'damage taken' increase debuff, allowing her to support overall firepower. Given her solid skill composition and base stats, she is expected to see play in Electric-code Raids.

Finally, there is Phantom. Although designed as a Burst III Water damage dealer, her utility was previously low. She required multiple Raptures to maximize her firepower, a condition rarely met in Solo Raids. However, this Treasure update allows her to reach full firepower when the enemy is a 'Target,' significantly increasing her utility.

She also gained a 'damage taken' increase debuff during her Burst, contributing to the party's overall damage output.
