Okay, so, today I’m gonna spill the beans on something I’ve been messing around with: Nikke cheats. Now, before anyone gets all judgey, hear me out. I wasn’t trying to be some super cheater, just wanted to see what was under the hood, you know? Strictly for “research purposes,” haha.
First off, I started by googling around. Obvious, right? Tons of videos and forum posts promising all sorts of crazy hacks. Most of it was garbage, honestly. Clickbait links leading to surveys or worse – potential viruses. I skipped those right away.
Then, I stumbled upon some stuff about memory editing. Basically, it involves using a program to peek into the game’s memory while it’s running and changing values. Sounds complicated, and it kinda is. I downloaded a memory editor (I won’t name it, for obvious reasons), watched a bunch of tutorials, and started poking around. It felt like defusing a bomb, I swear.
The initial goal was simple: infinite gems. Who wouldn’t want that? I found the address where the gem count was stored, and tried changing it. Failed miserably. The game detected the change almost instantly and either reverted it or crashed. Bummer.
Undeterred (sort of), I tried a different approach. Instead of directly changing the gem count, I looked for ways to influence the gacha rates. This was trickier. The rates aren’t just a single number sitting in memory; they’re part of a complex algorithm. I tried messing with various values that seemed related to the RNG (random number generator), but nothing worked consistently. Sometimes I’d get lucky and pull a good character, but most of the time, it was the same old junk.
Next up, I tried messing with character stats. This was actually easier. I found the memory addresses for attack, defense, and HP, and started tweaking them. I managed to boost my characters to ridiculous levels. They were one-shotting everything! It was fun for a while, but it quickly got boring. No challenge, no sense of accomplishment. Just pure, unadulterated power.
After a few days of this, I realized it wasn’t worth it. The risk of getting banned was too high, and the fun was fleeting. Plus, I felt kinda dirty, like I was cheating myself out of the actual game experience.
So, I uninstalled the memory editor and went back to playing the game legit. It’s slower, yeah, but it’s also more rewarding. Earning those characters and clearing those stages feels way better when you know you did it fair and square.
Takeaway: Messing with game files is a rabbit hole. It might seem tempting, but it’s often more trouble than it’s worth. And honestly, playing the game as it’s intended is usually the most fun in the long run. Just my two cents.
