April 9, 2026 Patch Notes

by

Commanders,

Our game servers will be temporarily unavailable on April 9, 2026, while we perform essential maintenance and updates. You won’t be able to play during this time, and we appreciate your understanding.

Expected maintenance duration: April 9, 2026, 11:00:00 – 15:00:00 (UTC +9)

The actual maintenance duration may vary.

Major Updates:

1. New Nikke

1.1 SSR Snow Crane

SSR Snow Crane, a member of the Veiled Order Squad known for always honoring agreements, is now available in battle.

Snow Crane is a Defender who recovers her allies’ HP and grants them buffs.

Her Burst Skill instantly heals allies with a powerful effect and also grants her the ability to pierce through defenses.

  • Class: Defender
  • Weapon: Oath of Goodwill (SR)
  • Code: Water

* Recruit Rules:

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

You have a 4% chance of getting any SSR Nikke through Special Recruit, and a 2% chance specifically for the Snow Crane Nikke.

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

④ You can exchange 200 Gold Mileage Tickets for Snow Crane 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 Snow Crane through the regular Recruit, by using Social Points, and by crafting with Mold items. She won’t be available in the New Commander Special Recruit, the Recruit during the tutorial, or the Mileage Shop.
