How it Works

The latest Love Nikki event takes place in Star City as the December Troupe begins its summer tour. As mentioned, this event is not a stage battle event, but instead a series of mini-tests of your styling acumen. The battles are similar to those you encounter in the Stylist Arena. During a styling phase, players will be given one of five styling themes along with two outfits to judge. Players must consider what attributes best match the theme and then decide which outfit will score highest for those attributes. If you choose correctly, you'll be rewarded with five Ice Cream Cones -- the currency used to purchase suit items in the event. If you fail, you'll be given a consolation prize of three Ice Cream Cones. Each day players can participate 10 times for free, giving them a chance to earn 30 - 50 Ice Cream Cones per day. Players can participate more times in a day if they choose, with each additional turn costing 20 Diamonds. Below is a breakdown of Suit costs for the event:
