U4GM - 5 Probabilities of Getting SSRs With X Gems in Goddess of Victory Nikke - KevinButler - 05-22-2025 As a long-time player of Goddess of Victory: Nikke, I’ve spent countless hours — and gems — chasing those elusive SSR characters. Whether you’re a newcomer or a dedicated Commander like me, understanding your odds when spending your gems is essential. In this guide, I’ll break down the five probability benchmarks of getting SSRs with different amounts of gems, based on personal experience, official drop rates, and informed calculations. Plus, I’ll share some tips on how to get more gems in Nikke without grinding endlessly. What You Should Know First In Goddess of Victory: Nikke, the standard SSR drop rate is 4%. This means every pull (typically costing 300 gems) has a 4% chance of netting you an SSR unit. But as many players have discovered, probability can feel misleading when luck isn’t on your side. Still, understanding how your odds improve with more pulls helps you set realistic expectations and manage your resources wisely. ![]() 1. 3,000 Gems (10 Pulls) — ~33% Chance of at Least One SSR Spending 3,000 gems gives you 10 recruitment chances. Based on the 4% base rate, your odds of pulling at least one SSR across 10 tries is roughly 33.2%. It’s the minimum commitment many players make when banners drop, and while the odds are not high, I’ve personally hit SSRs several times at this level—though not consistently. Personal Experience: I once pulled 2 SSRs in a 10-pull session during the Modernia event banner. That said, I’ve also had runs of 10 or even 20 pulls without a single SSR, which shows how luck can swing. 2. 6,000 Gems (20 Pulls) — ~55% Chance of at Least One SSR At 20 pulls, your odds improve to around 55%. You’re now more likely than not to pull at least one SSR, although it’s still far from guaranteed. This is usually the range where more invested players start feeling either hopeful or frustrated. Tip: Don’t forget the “Mileage Shop” mechanic that slowly accumulates value even if your pulls don’t pan out. It helps soften the blow of bad RNG. 3. 9,000 Gems (30 Pulls) — ~70% Chance of at Least One SSR With 30 pulls, your chance of getting at least one SSR jumps to about 70.1%. This is where the math starts working in your favor. Statistically, this is the first range where a majority of players will walk away with an SSR. My Take: I’ve done many 30-pull sessions, especially during special collab banners, and usually land one SSR. However, I’ve also seen cases where no SSRs appeared until the 31st or 32nd pull. 4. 15,000 Gems (50 Pulls) — ~87% Chance of at Least One SSR Spending 15,000 gems gives you 50 pulls. Now your chance of getting at least one SSR reaches 87%. While nothing is guaranteed, this level of investment usually pays off—though you still need luck on your side to get a specific SSR. Pro Tip: If you’re saving for limited banners, this is the gem threshold to aim for. You maximize your odds while still keeping a decent gem reserve. 5. 30,000 Gems (100 Pulls) — ~98% Chance of at Least One SSR At this point, the math is heavily in your favor. With a 98% chance of at least one SSR, 100 pulls is where most players hit at least one, often two or more, depending on RNG. If you’re willing to spend this many gems, you're essentially playing a numbers game. My Story: I saved 30,000 gems for the Dorothy banner and got three SSRs in 100 pulls—two Dorothys and one off-banner. It felt incredible and validated the strategy of hoarding gems between events.
