1. New Nikke

1.1 SSR Mint

SSR Mint, the gorgeous pop star and leader of T.T. STAR (Twinkle Twin Star), joins Special Recruit.

Mint is a Supporter who strengthens or recovers her ally units depending on her state.

Her state changes when she uses her Burst Skill.

– Class: Supporter

– Weapon: Coyly Star (RL)

– Code: Iron

– Manufacturer: Tetra Line

The Special Recruit event will run from the end of maintenance on May 14, 2026, until June 4, 2026, at 4:59:59 PM (UTC+9).

* How to obtain: Lobby → Recruit → Special Recruit

* Recruit Rules:

You can use Gems—both free and purchased—or Advanced Recruit Vouchers to recruit in the Special Recruit event. Regular Recruit Vouchers won’t work for this.

You have a 4% chance of getting any SSR Nikke through Special Recruit, and a 2% chance of specifically getting SSR Mint.

③ You can get Gold Mileage Tickets when recruiting in Special Recruit.

④ You can exchange 200 Gold Mileage Tickets for Mint in the Mileage Shop.

⑤ When Special Recruit ends, unused Gold Mileage Tickets will not disappear.

Once the Special Recruit event is over, you’ll be able to get Mint through the regular Recruit options, by using Social Points, and by crafting with Mold items. She won’t be available in the New Commander Special Recruit, the tutorial Recruit, or the Mileage Shop.

2. Limited-Time Recruitment of Rerun Characters

2.1 SSR EVE

SSR EVE, a sweet and determined angel from the 7th Airborne Squad, is available again through a limited-time recruitment event.

EVE is an attacker who launches extra attacks whenever she lands a critical hit. She also weakens enemies by applying effects that depend on their elemental type.

Her special ability boosts both her skills and attack strength, letting her deliver extra, strong attacks.

– Class: Attacker

– Weapon: Drone 2.0 (AR)

– Code: Iron

– Manufacturer: Abnormal

This special recruitment event will be available from May 14, 2026, after maintenance, until June 11, 2026, at 4:59 PM (UTC+9).

* How to obtain: Lobby → Recruit → Limited-Time Recruitment

* Recruit Rules:

You can get new characters through Limited-Time Recruitment using Gems (which can be earned for free or purchased) or Advanced Recruit Vouchers. Regular Recruit Vouchers won’t work for this type of recruitment.

Okay, so when I’m doing the limited-time recruitment, there’s a 4% chance of pulling an SSR Nikke, but EVE is even rarer – only a 2% chance to get her! Gotta manage my resources carefully if I’m aiming for her.

③ You can get Gold Mileage Tickets when recruiting in Limited-Time Recruitment.

④ You can exchange 200 Gold Mileage Tickets for EVE in the Mileage Shop.

⑤ When Limited-Time Recruitment ends, unused Gold Mileage Tickets will not disappear.

After the limited-time recruitment event finishes, EVE won’t be obtainable through standard recruitment methods like the regular Recruit, New Commander Special Recruit, tutorial Recruit, Social Point Recruit, Mileage Shop, or by using Mold items.

2.2 SSR Raven

SSR Raven, a powerful character from the 2nd Airborne Squad who discovered a hidden truth, is available again for a limited time.

Raven is an Attacker whose attack power grows stronger whenever she destroys enemy parts.

Her special ability lets her attack multiple enemies at once, making her even more powerful in battle.

– Weapon: Cryo Blade (RL)

– Code: Iron

– Manufacturer: Abnormal

* Limited-Time Recruitment duration: From May 21, 2026, 5:00:00 to June 11 2026, 4:59:59 (UTC+9)

* How to obtain: Lobby → Recruit → Limited-Time Recruitment

* Recruit Rules:

You can use Gems (both free and purchased) or Advanced Recruit Vouchers to participate in Limited-Time Recruitment. Regular Recruit Vouchers won’t work for this type of recruitment.

Okay, so when I’m doing those special recruitment events, I’ve got a 4% shot at pulling an SSR Nikke, but Raven’s a bit rarer – only a 2% chance to get her. It’s good to know those odds going in!

③ You can get Gold Mileage Tickets when recruiting in Limited-Time Recruitment.

④ You can exchange 200 Gold Mileage Tickets for Raven in the Mileage Shop.

⑤ When Limited-Time Recruitment ends, unused Gold Mileage Tickets will not disappear.

After the limited-time recruitment event finishes, Raven won’t be obtainable through regular recruitment methods like the standard, new player, tutorial, social point, or mileage shops, nor will she be available from any mold items.

SR Lily, the engineer of the 5th Airborne Squad, rejoins the battlefield.

Lily is a Supporter who strengthens her allies and restores their cover.

Her Burst Skill repairs her allies’ damaged cover and enhances their attack power.

– Code: Wind

– Manufacturer: Abnormal

Available from: After the maintenance on May 14, 2026
