Commanders, take note: Shift Up has officially acknowledged a bug affecting Red Hood's Burst Skill in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE.

At a Glance
- Issue: Sound effect of Red Hood's Burst Skill "Red Wolf" plays incorrectly during manual firing.
- Status: Under investigation; fix pending.
- Impact: Audio only — no changes to skill damage or mechanics.
- Official response: Shift Up apologizes and directs inquiries to in-game customer support.
What's the Bug?
According to the official notice, the problem occurs when players manually fire Red Hood's Burst Skill during battle. Instead of the intended audio, the sound effect plays differently, which can throw off your timing or immersion. The exact cause hasn't been disclosed, but Shift Up confirms they're investigating and will implement a fix "as soon as possible."
This isn't a game-breaking issue — Red Hood remains a top-tier DPS unit. But for players who've built teams around her, the audio glitch can be distracting, especially in high-pressure content like Interception or Raid battles.
Should You Pull?
If you're on the fence about pulling for Red Hood, this bug shouldn't change your decision. Her kit remains unchanged, and the issue is purely cosmetic in terms of audio. Red Hood's Burst Skill is still one of the strongest in the game, making her a valuable addition to any roster.
For F2P players, it's worth noting that this bug doesn't affect her performance, so you can safely invest your Advanced Recruit Vouchers without worry. If you're saving for an upcoming banner, check our NIKKE Persona Collab coverage to plan your pulls.
