Tactical · Entertainment · Technology! The 3 Major Corporations of Nikke

※Contains spoilers for the Goddess of Victory: Nikke story

There exists a force known as the ‘Three Major Corporations’ within the Ark. This does not simply mean they have significant influence over the Ark. The Three Major Corporations are deeply involved in every aspect of the Ark, including military, political, and operational matters. It is to the extent that if even one of the three corporations collapses, it is said that the Ark will collapse. That is how immense their influence and importance are.

In fact, if asked whether the Three Major Corporations are all righteous… absolutely not. On the contrary, to maintain their power, they have repeatedly committed unspeakable evil deeds.

However, the current Elysion is different. CEO Ingrid is the head of the most righteous corporation. Although we do not yet know what secrets are hidden within her, judging solely by her actions so far, she and her company can be described as the ones who care the most for their affiliated Nikes, sympathize with the Counters’ ideology, and spare no material or psychological support. In fact, Ingrid is the only upper management figure the Commander trusts, along with Anderson. Ingrid plays the role of a “mother” to the Elysion Squad and, by extension, the entire Ark. She genuinely cares for all Nikes, including those affiliated with Elysion, and has shown a willingness to cooperate for the sake of the Ark and the greater cause, even if it means some loss. When you see her going beyond merely superficially looking after the Nikes to providing meticulous mental care… she is truly like a mother. The corporate character also resembles Ingrid. Always shouting ‘Tactical’ and preferring live ammunition over beam weapons, they perfectly fulfill the commanders’ military fantasies. The squad that represents Elysion is ‘Absolute’. Silver’s ultra-long-range sniping, Emma’s transmission jamming, and Bestie’s missile bombardment are truly ‘Tactical’ itself. In terms of actual combat power alone according to the lore, she is the strongest on the Ark, so Elysion’s ‘tactical’ status is not just a name.
Ingrid, along with Anderson, is one of the few people the Commander can trust.
‘Tactical’ is the word that best represents Ingrid and Elysion! The Absolute Squad representing Elysion. It is also the squad that smells the strongest of gunpowder.
Tetra: The mood maker illuminating the Ark’s light
★ Introduction to the 3 Major Companies: Tetra Line
– CEO: Mustang
– Slogan: Entertainment
– Company Characteristics: A company responsible for all aspects of entertainment on the Ark. No matter what they do, it’s flashy!
– Representative Squads: Cafe Sweetie, Primadonna, Underworld Queen
Tetra occupies a somewhat unique position compared to the other two companies. While the other companies focus on core and influential areas such as Ark operations or military supplies, Tetra concentrates on the Ark’s entire ‘entertainment’ business. Primadonna, which includes top-tier Ark idols Aria, Noise, and Volume, is a squad under the Tetra line, and the same goes for the idol group T.T.STAR, to which Anis belongs.
In Counters, Anis is a Nike belonging to Tetra. It could be said that Anis’s lively personality represents Tetra. Like Nikes such as Luffy, Alice, and Blanc, they all possess lively personalities, flashy appearances and attire, and are in charge of their duties. You could say that he is literally the mood maker of the Ark. This atmosphere at Tetra was created by CEO ‘Mustang’. Just looking at his appearance, you can tell he is not normal. On top of that, he possesses a peculiar way of speaking. However, even with the full mobilization of intelligence from other groups, no wrongdoing could be found regarding Tetra or Mustang. Furthermore, he holds an image of being friendlier to the Ark and more devoted to Nike than any other corporation. Of course, a great deal happened to get us to this point. Those who watched the 3.5th Anniversary Story Event, ‘Stars, Shine Forever,’ would likely know this well. There was a truly shocking turn of events, and it is fair to say that this is how the Mustang and Tetra of today were formed. Surprisingly, Tetra’s greatest asset is ‘Cafe Sweetie’. Yes, the cafe staff. Of course, while they are ostensibly running a cafe, they are also a squad that has achieved many victories befitting Tetra’s strongest force. Sugar, in particular, is active on the front lines and has recently played a key role in the main story.
CEO Mustang, who is obviously not normal at first glance. However, those who know the story will see it completely differently, right??

If Elysion and Tetra are corporations in the position of cooperative allies to the protagonist squad, then Misilis is the opposite. In the early stages of the Nikke story, the biggest obstacle for the protagonist and the Counters squad was none other than Misilis, the strongest corporation in the Ark. Misilis’s CEO, Shuen, could be said to have been the main villain himself.

Shuen’s actions shown in the early stages of the story were truly shocking. He was portrayed solely as a figure who obstructed the Counters at every turn and caused harm to the Ark. Of course, through various incidents, Shuen also paid the price and the conflict was somewhat resolved, but there are still many users who cannot forgive him. Given that the company Misilis is also reportedly struggling since CEO Shuen took office… it is truly fair to call it a prime example of owner risk. Although Shuen and Misilis are facing so much criticism, their technological prowess and military strength are genuine. They possess numerous technologies of an over-the-top level, and regardless of their intentions, they have ultimately supported the Counters and contributed to the recapture of the ground. The technology, performance, and track record of their core squad, Metis, are representative examples demonstrating Misilis’s strength. Misilis is also a company that harbors many secrets. First of all, the very existence of ‘Zien’ is a case in point. In addition, it is expected that they will play a key role in the future development of the story, such as by operating the M.M.R. Squad, which holds the Ark’s great secret.
