01NIKKE 4th Anniversary Banner Schedule
Both anniversary Pilgrim banners are now live. Scarlet: Goddeath's Special Recruit opened on November 5, so Marian: Queen and Scarlet overlap until Marian's banner closes on November 19.
Marian: Queen
Scarlet: Goddeath
Pilgrim Selective RecruitmentBanner dates are shown in UTC+9. Check the in-game Recruit screen for exact closing times.
Important: Promotional daily free attempts do not generate Gold Mileage Tickets, while eligible Special Recruit pulls made with Gems or Advanced Recruit Vouchers do. Unused Gold Mileage Tickets carry over after the banners end.
02NIKKE 4th Anniversary Key Dates and Deadlines
Most anniversary rewards close in the second half of November. Use this table to see what ends first so you don't miss free pulls, codes or Rapunzel copies.
Times follow the official UTC+9 schedule. Always confirm closing times on the in-game event pages.
03Is Scarlet: Goddeath Limited? Banner Dates, Rate and Gold Mileage
Scarlet: Goddeath is available in Special Recruit now, but she is not permanently limited. Her banner opened on November 5, 2026 and ends on November 26 at 04:59:59 (UTC+9). She has a 1% featured pickup rate within the overall 4% SSR rate.
Scarlet: Goddeath — Key Recruitment Rules
- Role: Fire / Burst III / Assault Rifle / Attacker, specializing in Pierce damage. Her Burst boosts her own attack and extends her normal-attack range.
- Featured rate: 1% (4% overall SSR rate).
- Mileage exchange: 200 Gold Mileage Tickets.
- Recruitment methods: Free/Paid Gems and Advanced Recruit Vouchers. Ordinary Recruit Vouchers cannot be used.
- Daily free recruit: One promotional attempt per day during her 21-day banner, without Gold Mileage.
- After the banner: Scheduled to enter Ordinary Recruit and Mold after the next version update. She will not be added to the Mileage Shop.
If Scarlet is a must-have for your squad, her current banner is a far more targeted way to get her than waiting for the standard pool, where she will be diluted among every other SSR.
Pulling tip: Use your daily free attempt, check your Gold Mileage balance, and decide whether to spend Gems or vouchers before Scarlet's pickup ends on November 26.
04New Anniversary Nikkes: Who Should You Pull?
Three SSR Pilgrims headline the anniversary: two featured in Special Recruit and one handed out free through events.
Marian: Queen
Fire / Burst III / Machine Gun / Attacker
Marian periodically attacks multiple enemies, and her Burst boosts her attack while hitting several targets at once. That makes her a flexible pick for stages with many enemies.
Scarlet: Goddeath
Fire / Burst III / Assault Rifle / Attacker
Scarlet focuses on Pierce attacks and becomes much stronger during Burst. Her kit is built for concentrated damage rather than utility, so she shines most against bosses.
Rapunzel: Sanctuary
Fire / Burst II / Rocket Launcher / Supporter · Free
The anniversary's free SSR heals allies and boosts their attack, with extra team buffs during Burst. No banner pulls are required.
Marian: Queen vs. Scarlet: Goddeath
✓ Pull now if
- Your Fire Burst III attacker slot is weak
- You already hold Gold Mileage close to 200
- You know which content you want to clear faster
✗ Hold your Gems if
- You are still missing core Pilgrims like Cinderella, Grave or Nayuta
- You would need to split pulls across both banners
- You mainly want the anniversary costumes
Planning your anniversary pulls? After counting your Gems, vouchers and Gold Mileage, you can get a NIKKE top up on KeyGold if you need extra recruitment resources. Set your target before spending.
05Free Rapunzel: Sanctuary and Selection Boxes
Rapunzel: Sanctuary is the free anniversary SSR. You can collect up to four copies, enough for max Limit Break, through login rewards and Selection Boxes.
Each Selection Box lets you choose one of these Nikkes:
- Rapunzel: Sanctuary
- Chime
- Rapunzel: Pure Grace
- Snow White: Innocent Days
Picking Rapunzel: Sanctuary in all three boxes gives you four copies and max Limit Break. If you are missing one of the other options, compare your roster needs before you choose.
Deadline: The anniversary login and MARIA-n rewards run until November 19 at 04:59:59 (UTC+9). Claim and open every Selection Box before then.
06How the 259 Free Pulls Work — Free Attempts vs. Paid Pulls
The anniversary offers up to 259 free recruitment attempts across login rewards, story events, minigames, web events, codes and daily free recruits. That total is spread over the whole event. It does not mean 259 instant banner pulls or 259 Gold Mileage Tickets.
Free Pulls vs. Mileage-Earning Recruits
- Daily promotional free attempts: Do not generate Gold Mileage or count toward Recruitment Benefits milestones.
- Advanced Recruit Vouchers: Eligible Special Recruit pulls generate Gold Mileage and count toward recruitment milestones.
- Free and Paid Gems: Both generate Gold Mileage on Special Recruit. Using free Gems does not turn a pull into a promotional free attempt.
Also New in the 4th Anniversary
- Main Story Chapters 49–50: The Underground Ark storyline concludes, with new bosses Nostalgia and Goddess of Victory.
- TRACING THE STARS x Stellar Blade: A 22-track music collaboration, including four free tracks.
- Progression upgrades: The new Synchro Boost system, more Interception attempts and improved returnee missions.
- Spanish text support: Full Spanish localization arrived with the anniversary update.
07NIKKE 4th Anniversary Codes and Free Web Rewards
Five CD-Keys were released during the 4th Anniversary livestream. Together they give 900 Gems and 16 Recruit Vouchers, and all of them expire on November 24, 2026 at 23:59 (UTC+9).
How to Redeem NIKKE Codes
- In the Lobby, tap the bell-shaped Notice icon.
- Open Event Notice and select the CD-Key Redemption Portal.
- Confirm your server and Commander name, enter the code and tap Redeem.
- Collect the rewards from your in-game Mailbox.
New accounts usually need to clear Stage 1-4 before the portal appears, and each code works once per account. For older codes and future drops, see our latest NIKKE codes list.
Free Web and Livestream Rewards
- Livestream milestone: 10 Advanced Recruit Vouchers sent to your Mailbox. Claim them before November 20.
- Trajectory of the Goddess: The official web event on Blablalink revisits 12 story chapters and rewards Recruit Vouchers, Gems and Goddess Seals until November 18. It contains main story spoilers.
- Share-the-Page event: Share the official 4th Anniversary page for 1 Recruit Voucher (one per user) until November 18.
08Anniversary Costumes, Packs and Passes
Four new costumes arrive with the anniversary, and six limited costumes return as reruns. Costume Gacha and pass rewards are separate from regular recruitment banners, so plan these purchases on their own.
Limited Packs and Passes
If your priority is a stronger squad, recruitment resources usually offer more practical value than cosmetics. Compare exact pack contents and regional prices in the Cash Shop before buying. If you want the Mission Pass, KeyGold's NIKKE login top-up can also cover it.
09AFFECTION TRAIL Eligible Purchases, Passes and Costume Sources
AFFECTION TRAIL is a limited-time purchase-reward event that runs until November 26, 2026 at 04:59:59 (UTC+9). Eligible purchases award Traces of Love, which unlock cumulative milestone rewards.
Not every top-up counts
Only the designated purchases below earn Traces of Love. Ordinary Gem top-ups and unlisted passes should not be assumed eligible. Check each item's point value on the in-game AFFECTION TRAIL page before setting a budget.
The top AFFECTION TRAIL reward is the Eternal Vow Selection Box, which lets you choose Little Mermaid, Crown or Liberalio, alongside anniversary profile frames, titles and other customization items.
Important: Dear Grace comes from the November Mission Pass. The official eligible list names the DARK MONK PASS but not the November Mission Pass or ordinary Gem top-ups, so check the event rules before buying.
10Anniversary Pulling Strategy
With both new Pilgrims live, now is the time to compare them before committing resources. Remember that Marian's banner closes a week before Scarlet's, so decide on Marian first.
Claim every free reward and code, collect all four Rapunzel copies, and save Gold Mileage for your highest-priority Pilgrim.
Fill roster gaps first. Pilgrim Selective Recruitment is a strong option if you are missing Cinderella, Grave or Nayuta.
Choose one featured target, count your available pulls, and compare your mileage against the 200-ticket exchange cost.
Keep recruitment and costume budgets separate, and confirm which cosmetic purchases qualify for AFFECTION TRAIL.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Counting free attempts toward mileage
Daily promotional free recruits grant no Gold Mileage, so they never move you toward the 200-ticket exchange.
Splitting Gems across both banners
Pulling heavily on Marian and Scarlet at once can leave you short of your real priority target.
Missing the November 19 cutoff
Marian's banner, MARIA-n and the Rapunzel rewards all end on November 19, a week before Scarlet's banner.
Spending only for a milestone
Chase extra AFFECTION TRAIL rewards only if the purchase itself and the milestone rewards fit your budget.
Need more resources for Scarlet: Goddeath? Count your free rewards and Gold Mileage first, then consider a planned NIKKE top up through KeyGold if you still need Gems.
