Aegis’s Mast and Anchor join Nikke’s maid skin lineup, with Mast drawing attention for her striking resemblance to VTuber Houshou Marine.

The popular mobile game Goddess of Victory: Nikke has unveiled an exciting addition to its SSR lineup, with Aegis's Mast and Anchor receiving a brand-new maid-themed makeover. The maid line will debut as part of the Jan. 23 update, just in time to build excitement for Valentine's Day. This seasonal theme follows previous Valentine's updates featuring Ade and Privaty in 2024, as well as Soda and Cocoa in 2023.

SSR Mast: Romantic Maid

Mast’s new "Romantic Maid" skin blends the classic black-and-white French maid aesthetic with a unique pirate-inspired headpiece, staying true to the character's playful and alluring vibe. Fans in the community have noted its striking resemblance to Houshou Marine, a popular Japanese VTuber from Hololive known for her pirate motif and similar hair color.

Mast: Romantic Maid, available with a rate-up in Special Banner from Jan. 30 to Feb. 19, will switch from her original SMG weapon to an MG called "Romantic Heart." Despite the weapon change, her role as a Supporter remains unchanged. Using her Burst Skill, Mast will enhance the attack power of all allies, making her a valuable asset to any team.

  • Affiliation: Aegis
  • Class: Supporter
  • Weapon: MG: Romantic Heart

Mast has finally fulfilled her dream of becoming a pirate. However, due to participating in the Unconventional Maid Competition without realizing what she was signing up for, Mast ends up working as a maid.

SSR Anchor: Innocent Maid

Anchor: Innocent Maid will be available with a rate-up on the Special Recruit Banner a week before Valentine's Day, from Feb.7 to Feb. 27. Like Mast, Anchor: Innocent Maid is ready to help the team as a Supporter, recovering the HP of all allies and improving the squad's stability with her Burst Skill.

The main highlight is, that the original SR Anchor is now upgraded to SSR. However, the design is not very maid-ish — only featuring a French maid headpiece and a black & white bikini piece — with an overall vibe and color palette highly similar to the original Anchor.

A girl who seems like she is not entirely of this world. She has donned a swimsuit while working as a maid, and is the exemplification of all romantic ideals.

In addition to both characters, the Nikke Jan. 23 update will also welcome three new costumes for Sin, Trony, and Drake. Players can also explore more of the Maids' story through the new story event "Romantic Valentine" and mini-game "Pirate Cafe".
