NIKKE Card Game: Nivel Arena - Price Prediction

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve discovered an exciting Trading Card Game (TCG) called Nivel Arena, which is inspired by the sensational mobile game, Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, released in Korea on October 29, 2024. This incredible TCG was developed collaboratively between Gemblo Company and Shift Up, the genius minds behind the original mobile game. They’ve brilliantly incorporated the beloved characters, skills, and items from the mobile game into this new card game, offering an immersive experience for fans like me!

In the initial launch of Nivel Arena, there were three Starter Decks and one Booster Pack. Following this, two additional Starter Decks and another Booster Pack were added to the collection, with a third Booster Pack planned for release on May 23, 2025.

It’s been hinted that, much like Weiß Scharz, Nivel Arena might incorporate additional games beyond Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. Given that NIKKE is the only game presently involved, some players colloquially call Nivel Arena “Nikketak” or “Nikke card game.” Notably, NIKKE made its debut in Weiß Scharz back in April 2025, marking the first Korean adaptation of the older Trading Card Game.

Nivel Arena TCG Basics

Here’s a brief rundown on how to play the NIKKE TCG Nivel Arena.

In the game Nivel Arena, competitors engage in combat using decks consisting of 40 cards and one Leader card. Every card within the deck should possess the identical attribute or color as the Leader card. The maximum number of identical cards you can have is three, based on their ID numbers.

Victory Condition

In this game, the first player who inflicts 10 points of damage on their rival is declared the winner. On the other hand, if a player runs out of cards in their deck, they automatically forfeit the game.

In the thrilling world of Nivel Arena, I find myself captivated by the diverse cards, each boasting one of five distinct characteristics or hues: Flame, a fiery red; Earth, a verdant green; Storm, a mysterious purple; Wave, a tranquil blue; and Lightning, a bright yellow.

There are four card types so far: Leader, Unit, Skill, and Item.
