Banner Schedule (March-April 2026)
Technical work will take place on March 5 from 11:00 to 15:00 (UTC +9). E.H. banner ends on March 19, and the anniversary banner will start immediately after it.
| Banner. | Type | Start | End of |
|---|---|---|---|
| Special recruitment of E.H. | Limited SSR | March 5, 2026 | March 19, 4:59:59 UTC +9 |
| Special recruitment in honor of the 3.5th anniversary | Limited SSR | ~ March 19, 2026 | ~ April 2026 |
| The Union raid | Event | March 6, 5:00 | March 12, 4:59:59 UTC +9 |
| Cooperative operation | Event | 13 м а р т а, 12:00 | March 15, 23:59:59 UTC +9 |
It is because of such a rapid change of banners that spending on E.H. is so unprofitable-all the hemes spent on it will disappear before the banner of the Crown opens.
Two characters worth turning gacha for
Crown It is a Pilgrim class, which means that it will never get into the standard pool and cannot be obtained outside restricted banners. One copy with pumped skills 10/10/10 is more efficient than duplicate units of level A in PVE.
Rapi: Red Hood It fits perfectly into the top line-ups for raids and boss battles and remains relevant for 6 - 12 months after release-much longer than level A or B units.
The main mistake of returning players
Standard recruitment tickets (Standard Recruit Tickets) do not work in special recruitment banners. Each twist in the anniversary banner requires either hemes.(300 per try) or special recruitment tickets (Special Recruit Tickets), however, Golden Miles Tickets (Gold Mileage) is accumulated for all the twists in special banners and is never reset-it is a constant resource, regardless of whether or not it is. What banner did you get them in?
The Pity System: How It Actually Works
There are three levels: Basic SSR chance, soft pity and hard pity guarantor.
| Type of Appeal | Chances of SSR | Chance of target character | Ordinary SSRs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Special Set | 4% | 2%(50% of the chance of SSR) | 2%(50% of the chance of SSR) |
| Solitary Appeal | 300 flowers | — | — |
| Call for x10 | 3,000 gems | — | — |
There is no statistical advantage to twisting 10 pieces before single attempts. Spin as your stock of hemes allows.
The "soft" guarantor Shift Up has not officially documented this-the information is confirmed by the community. In practice, if you have done 60 + twists, your next SSR is statistically closer than the base 4% chance suggests.
"Hard" guarantor on 200 twists This is 60,000 hemes from scratch. Most players get an SSR long before the 200th attempt, but knowing this ceiling is important for budget planning.
Guarantor is not transferred
This is the most expensive mistake F2P players make. If you make 80 spins in the E.H. banner and get nothing, these 80 attempts of the guarantor burn up when the anniversary banner is launched. You start from scratch.
Gold miles tickets are not dropped. The guarantee is tied to a specific banner and burns; miles are a permanent and cumulative resource. Do not confuse them.
The only scenario where spinning E.H. makes sense is that you already have 150 + miles tickets (50 twists before guaranteed character selection) and your budget for the anniversary banner is fully backed by over 15,000 hemes. Outside of these narrow frames, skip it.
Mathematics of the guarantor: calculations of full twists
- Average number of twists for any SSSR: ~ 25 attempts
- Average number of twists for the target SSR: 50 attempts (15,000 hemes)
- Ceiling of the "hard" guarantor: 200 attempts (60,000 hemmes)
The average of 50 spins is confirmed by the community, but the averages are deceptive-half of all players will need more than 50 attempts.
Probability depending on the accumulated guarantor
| Initial Guarantor | 50% chance of an event character | 75% Chance | Almost Guaranteed (99%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | ~ 50 twists (15,000 stones) | ~ 80 steals (24,000 stones) | ~ 200 steals (60,000 stones) |
| 80 | ~ 20 twists (6,000 stones) | ~ 40 steals (12,000 stones) | ~ 120 twists (36,000 stones) |
| 100 | ~ 15 steals (4,500 stones) | ~ 30 twists (9,000 stones) | ~ 100 twists (30,000 stones) |
| 150 | ~ 15 steals (4,500 stones) | ~ 25 twists (7,500 stones) | ~ 50 twists (15,000 stones) |
Soft guarantor thresholds are estimates based on community observations, not official figures.
Check your miles before spending resources on E.H. With 150 tickets, you have 50 twists left to the guaranteed character-it's a completely different risk math than starting from scratch.
The worst scenario without miles: The theoretical maximum is 400 twists (120,000 hemes). With miles, the practical ceiling is 200 twists (60,000 hemes) to produce one guaranteed target unit through the selector.
The cost of the full "Spark"(redemption): 200 tickets = 200 twists = 60,000 hemes. For most F2P players, it's 5 - 7 months of savings. Spark is a strategy for whales or dolphins.
Strategy of accumulation of heme
Community objective: 15,000 - 25,000 hemm by 5 March.
| Stockpile level | Г е м ы | К р о т к и | What do you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | 15 000. | 50 | ~ 50% chance of an event SSR; beginning of a soft guarantor |
| Comforte | 24,000 | 80 | ~ 75% chance of an event SSR |
| Nearly Guarantor | 30 000 | 100 | The "soft guarantor" |
| Guarantor (Hard Pity) | 60,000 | 200 | Guaranteed receipt through a "hard guarantor" or exchange points |
Spin if you have 15,000 + hemes. If less, keep farming, skip E.H. Splitting hemes between two banners is the worst option: you risk not picking a guarantor in either of them.

When it makes sense to donate
If you have 10,000 - 12,000 hemes and Crown is your priority character, buying the missing amount of up to 15,000 is a smart decision. Favorable replenishment of gems for Goddess of Victory NIKKE for the anniversary banner 2026 It is worth checking before March 5-reaching this threshold before launching the banner is the difference between confident twists and risky play.
Pharma by March 5
Daily and Weekly Missions: One week pass costs 560 hemes-almost two twists. Consider them mandatory.
Interceptions: Boost your score right now. The best results in Interception bring 1,000 - 2,000 hemes monthly depending on the strength of your composition.
Plot mode: If you have uncompleted chapters, this is your biggest source of hemes. It is limited-once you have completed them, they will run out. Newcomers and returning players should check the progress of chapters immediately.
Board (Commission Board): Keep it loaded as much as possible. Priority is commissions with a reward in the form of hemes. It is not exciting, but in 4 - 6 weeks several hundred hemes come in.
Monthly pass ($4.99): 300 hemes at once +100/day for 30 days = 3,300 hemes in total. The best heme to dollar ratio in the store. Start with this if you plan to spend money.
First purchase, Level 3: 3,000 gems (1,500 paid +1,500 bonus). Worth it if you haven't already used the bonus for your first purchase.
For players who want to build a bigger stock before launching the Crown banner, Goddess of Victory NIKKE's 3.5-year discount They can help achieve the goal of 15,000 - 25,000 hemes.
Priority: Who to choose first
First Crown. Everything else comes later. This is the consensus of the community, and mathematics confirms it.
| Priority | Character | Tir | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Crown | T0 (Required to receive) | Pilgrim, Buffer B2, irreplaceable, relevant in mete always |
| 2 | Rapi: Red Hood | T0 (Required to receive) | SSS-dash DD for bosses, the best B3 for raids |
| 3 | Nayuta | High Priority | Strong B3 DD, great synergy with Crown |
| 4 | Little Mermaid | High Priority | B1-Sappport for bosses/raids |
| 5 | Cinderella | Good choices | B3 DD, suitable for raid teams around Crown |
| 6 | Helm (Treasury) | Situationally | SSS-dash with a deficiency of BS< 25%; high priority if stuck in the Tribal Tower |
| 7 | Snow White: Heavy Arms | Low priority | Niche uses |
| 8 | E. H. | Pass | B-dash; store restriction of 4 stacks reduces DPS to ~ 70% of potential |
Why E.H. should be missed.
Limiting E.H. ammunition to 4 stacks actively interferes with long-term DPS scenarios such as Interception.Rapi: Red Hood and Modernia surpass it in important content. It does not synergize with Alice's endless ammunition mechanics. Step-Up banner E.H. costs 6,600 hemes for 31 spins-that's 22% of your budget for a "soft" guarantor for the sake of a level B unit when T0 units arrive two weeks later.
Decision making strategy by player type
F2P with 15,000 + heme: Spin the anniversary banner. Start with the Crown. If it falls and hemes remain, keep spinning for Rapi: Red Hood.
F2P with less than 15,000 heme: Skip E.H. Hard-farm. Spin the anniversary banner only after reaching the threshold of 15,000 hemm.
F2P with 150 + mile tickets: One Step-Up E.H. banner (6,600 hemm) is acceptable-but only if your budget for the anniversary banner is already secured by the amount of more than 15,000 hemm.
"Dolphins": Maximum one Step-Up banner E.H. if the anniversary budget is secured. Don't chase the MLB (maximum limit) E.H."Spark" Crown is always better than MLB E.H..
"The Whales": Completely miss MLB E.H. The worst scenario is about 180,000 hemes, which are better directed to Crown and Rapi: Red Hood Spark. T0 units remain relevant for 6 - 12 months; B units do not justify such spending.
Team Composition
Campaign/story: Liter (B1) → Crown or Helm (Treasure)(B2) → Rapi: Red Hood (B3) → Modernia (B3) → Naga
The Boss/Raid Little Mermaid (B1) → Crown (B2) → Cinderella or Rapi: Red Hood (B3) → Naga
Crown is the anchor of both line-ups in position B2. This flexibility-efficiency in campaign and raid simultaneously-sets T0 buffs apart from everyone else.
Note by Helm (Treasure). SSS level with CP deficit less than 25%, SS level with large deficits. High priority if you are stuck in Tribe Tower; less urgent if you are far behind in level.
Priority of E.H. skills (if you knocked it out): S2 up to Level 7 → S1 up to Level 4 → Burst up to Level 10. Overload equipment: Head> Gloves> Chest> Boots, 4x roll on Elemental DMG. Do not invest heavily until you get T0 units from the anniversary banner.
Recovery after the anniversary
Large jubilee spending depletes stocks for 1 - 3 months. With F2P income of 8,000 - 12,000 hemes per month:
- Recovery of 15,000 heme: ~ 6 - 8 weeks
- Recovery of 30,000 heme: ~ 3 - 4 months
Plan your next banner goal before you start spinning-you will have limited resources for what comes after.
Track their number in the special recruiting menu. If you finish the period with 80 - 100 tickets, they are added up for your next Spark.
Priority of skills training after receiving Crown and/or Rapi: Red Hood: 10/10/10 skills with T10 Elemental equipmentOne copy of the Crown with full pumping outperforms duplicate units of level A. First, download skills, then take.
FAQ
Does the guarantor drop when launching the anniversary banner? Yes. The guarantor is tied to a specific banner and reset to zero. Gold miles tickets are not reset-they accumulate constantly. Never twist the banner in the expectation that the guarantor will be transferred.
How many free spins will be available during the anniversary? Based on monthly F2P income plus anniversary bonuses, expect 30 - 50 additional spins for entry bonuses and event missions. Current CDK codes add another 35 Advanced Vouchers.
Singles or 10? Statistically identical. Spin as your stock of hemes allows. There are 3,500 hemes? Do one spin of 10 (3,000) and put aside the remaining 500.
What will happen to the miles tickets if I don't use them? Nothing-they never burn. The 200-ticket selector works with any target SSR from any special recruitment banner, past or present, if the unit is in the selector pool.
I'm a beginner-should I do a roll for the Crown. Yes. Crown works effectively with mid-level formulations and is the recommended goal for reroll after the anniversary.
Should I ever turn the Step-Up banner E.H.? Only if you already have 150 + miles tickets, your budget for the anniversary is provided with a sum of over 15,000 Gem, and you want to get closer to the "Spark". This is a narrow condition. Outside it-skip.
Crown is the anchor of the whole event. The strategy before the anniversary exists for one reason: make sure you sign in to its banner with enough hemes to have a real chance. Dial 15,000 before March 5, skip E.H. and keep your budget intact. Everything else is just optimization around this goal.
