Players in NIKKE are looking to conquer the challenge called For the King. It can be tricky, especially with squads being cut down. Furthermore, if they don’t happen immediately, the enemy outlasts you and eventually takes you down. As many are coming up against it, it’s best to know how to be prepared.
In the guide below, we have information that will help you beat For the King in NIKKE. The game has many tough challenges and enemies, like the Mirror Container using Glass Slippers to defeat you. However, by having the strongest characters in your squad, you stand a chance to complete the challenge.
How to Beat For the King in NIKKE
(Players should note that For the King is a minigame that was a part of the Last Kingdom event. It has concluded on May 16, 2024)
To be For the King, players should first be leveling up their NIKKEs and then assigning both Ice Towers to slow and Cannons to blast AOE damage to the enemy. The details come from user Dudfey on the game’s Reddit page. Players should also look to focus on filling their squad. Having more options to deal damage and/or buff squad members is always the first and best tactic to succeeding in NIKKE.
As mentioned above, creating Ice Towers is highly useful for slowing down any enemies, giving you the chance to dole out more damage. As the enemies come in waves, the towers help to ease the burden. Furthermore, by slowing them, you have a chance to cut them down as they approach, meaning you won’t be overwhelmed.
Because you are dealing with waves, investing in Cannons helps to add the AOE damage to foes as they progress. This can help to chip off damage to multiple foes, essentially cleaving down as many enemies as you do. When starting, it is also good to build up and upgrade on areas where more enemies are going to be heading along the paths. By diverting your resources and attack power here, you will halt a majority of the enemy wave. That way, you can work to chip off the stragglers that are progressing. Overall, there are no guarantees on NIKKEs that are best, so ensure you bring the best ones for multiple situations as well as support.
For the King Rewards
Completing the stages in For the King grants Broken Cores to permanently upgrade towers. Furthermore, completing the daily and challenge missions can present things like different pulls, which can be useful. However, it is important to note that the Broken Cores are only incorporated for the minigame and therefore have no external use for the rest of NIKKE. But, this should not discourage players from playing the mode as earning the pulls is always beneficial.
For the King is just one of the many offerings that NIKKE has for players to partake in. Additionally, it is part of the Last Kingdom event which is one of the various events that have been brought to the game. As the game continues to thrive, we can only expect to see more in the future. Whether or not For the King is one such mode that may return is uncertain. However, if it does, players will be able to use the information above to conquer it.
That is everything to know about how to beat For the King in NIKKE; additionally, the different rewards that players may earn in it. If you are curious about how often you can do Solo Raids in NIKKE, we have the details for players to check out.
