The **Raptures** are mechanical enemies that are currently the dominant species of the earth's surface and the main antagonists of *Goddess of Victory: Nikke*.

## History

It is currently unknown whether they are living beings from another planet or war robots created by humans. They have been on the planet for at least 100 years ago to the present day. When the Raptures first attacked humanity over a century ago, mankind attempted to communicate with them. However, reasoning with such mechanical beings proved fruitless, there wasn't left much of a choice other than to establish the United Forces of Humanity to solve the crisis.

After the Ark was established at some time, humanity firmly believes that they are safe from Raptures after sheltering themselves in an underground haven. However, this was far from the truth, the Rapture are actually aware of the Ark's whereabouts. It was revealed that Chatterbox, a unique Tyrant-class Rapture communicated with Enikk, the AI overseer of the Ark to create a deal: Enikk will provide Nikkes implanted with Chatterbox's corruption codes in exchange of not attacking the Ark.

## Rapture Types

Raptures exist in the forms of small and medium robots, flying drones, walking machines, and a lot of other different shapes. Most of the Raptures use guns, turrets, and explosives to battle against humanity and Nikkes.

Raptures are classified into 5 different classes: **Servant**, **Husk**, **Master**, **Lord**, and **Tyrant**. Master-class raptures can then be specified into 2 grades: *Exceed* and *Master*.

Lord and Tyrant Raptures have an animated introduction before they are fought. Some Lord and all Tyrant Raptures have parts that can be destroyed by the Nikkes upon targeting. These parts often serve as weapons or defense barrier.

Both classes also have attacks that can be interrupted. Yellow circles will appear arbitrarily at their parts known as an **Interruption Part**. In Co-Op Battle as of the BULLET X CHAINSAW event, these Raptures are introduced with gray interruption parts which can automatically fail their QTE, known as **Counter Circle**.

Certain Nikkes have stats or skills that allows them to counter these features including Hit Rate.

### Master Raptures

Elite Raptures that are probably a few meters in height. These Raptures are more powerful than their Servant counterparts.

### Lord Raptures

Boss enemies that are several meters in length and height. They have more specialized attacks that made them more formidable enemies on their own rights.

### Tyrant Raptures

These Raptures are expected to be boss monsters that will be beaten through the story mode and events. Their lengths can be several tens of meters long, with incredible abilities that will put Nikkes in high danger.

These Raptures are highly specialized in many conditions, making them extremely dangerous to face even with a decent amount of squad to fight against them.

Tyrant-class Raptures have special intro animations that can skipped (although the player cannot do so during Co-Op Battle).
