WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Prioritize Core Dust at level breakpoints
Outpost Defense claims and character leveling menu.
Before you go
- Have a Nikke approaching a ten-level breakpoint.
- Have access to Outpost Defense stock or other Core Dust rewards.
Farming steps
- Open the Nikke leveling screen and inspect the next target level’s displayed costs.
- Identify whether Core Dust is the limiting material at the next ten-level breakpoint.
- Collect available Outpost Defense stock and other earned Core Dust.
- Reserve enough for the planned level before spending on secondary upgrades.
- Level the selected Nikke when all required resources are available.
- Recheck the roster’s next breakpoint and repeat the reserve plan.
- Outpost production depends on Campaign progress, so pushing stages improves future Core Dust supply.
- Use the in-game level cost as the authority for your account; costs vary with the target level.
Repeat, collect and use
This is a recurring resource management loop: collect Core Dust, reserve for the next desired level breakpoint, and repeat as new levels become available.
Common mistakes
- Spending Core Dust without checking upcoming level costs; review the next breakpoint first.
- Assuming every unit should be leveled equally; focus the units used through Synchro Device and your active team.
- Waiting for Outpost alone; collect Core Dust from other available progression rewards as well.
When to stop or switch
Stop reserving for a breakpoint once the planned level is paid; then set a new target based on your current team and remaining resources.
