Maintenance Start
March 19, 2026

Maintenance End
March 19, 2026

Expected maintenance duration: March 19, 2026, 11:00:00 – 18:00:00 (UTC +9)

The actual duration of the maintenance may vary.

You can obtain SSR E.H. through the Ordinary Recruit, Social Point Recruit, and by using Mold items. It won’t be available in the New Commander Special Recruit, the Ordinary Recruit during the tutorial, or the Mileage Shop.

Major Updates:

1. New Nikke

1.1 SSR Arcana: Fortune Mate

SSR Arcana’s Fortune Mate, a new and enigmatic student from the renowned Best Seller Squad, has transferred to Special Recruit.

Okay, so Arcana: Fortune Mate is a character who’s all about attacking! The more she attacks, the stronger she gets, and she also boosts the attack power of anyone on her team who’s using a shotgun. Basically, the more she fights, the better everyone with a shotgun does – it’s a really cool synergy!

Her special ability boosts her attack power, allowing her to damage several enemies at once.

– Class: Attacker

– Weapon: Bittersweet (SG)

– Code: Fire

– Manufacturer: Elysion

The Special Recruit event will be available from after maintenance on March 19, 2026, until April 9, 2026, at 4:59 PM (UTC+9).

* How to obtain: Lobby → Recruit → Special Recruit

* Recruit Rules:

You can use Gems, which are free or 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 an SSR Nikke through Special Recruit, and a 2% chance of getting the SSR Arcana: Fortune Mate.

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

④ You can exchange 200 Gold Mileage Tickets for Arcana: Fortune Mate in the Mileage Shop.

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

Okay, so after the Special Recruit event wraps up, I’m super excited to hear that Arcana: Fortune Mate will be available in a bunch of places! I’ll be able to get it through the regular Recruit, the Social Point Recruit, and even by using Mold items. Just a heads-up though, it won’t be in the New Commander Special Recruit, the initial tutorial Recruit, or the Mileage Shop. Good to know where to focus my efforts!
