The October 29 countdown should not be treated as a complete maintenance schedule. SHIFT UP has not yet published the exact server downtime, banner opening time or regional login schedule.
Third Surface Reclamation War and October 29 Countdown
The official NIKKE 4th Anniversary information site features a countdown titled “Time left until the Third Surface Reclamation War.”
Current anniversary coverage connects that countdown with October 29, five days after the livestream. This timing also follows NIKKE’s usual pattern of revealing a major anniversary update shortly before the associated content begins.
The countdown establishes an important anniversary checkpoint, but it does not confirm the exact maintenance or banner schedule. Players should wait for the post-livestream update notice before planning their first login or pulls.
How to Claim the Free Anniversary Recruit Voucher
The anniversary information-site campaign runs from October 8 to November 18, 2026, at 23:59 (UTC+9). It currently offers one Recruit Voucher for the first qualifying share on a designated community.
To claim it:
- Open the official anniversary information site.
- Log in with the account connected to NIKKE.
- Select the correct server and Commander account.
- Use one of the designated community-sharing options.
- Complete the first eligible share.
- Check the in-game mailbox for the reward.
- Each account can be connected to only one server and Commander profile for this campaign. Check the displayed server and nickname before confirming the account.
- The reward mail expires after 90 days. Claim it after completing the sharing task instead of leaving it in the mailbox indefinitely.
Scarlet and Rapunzel Predictions
Scarlet and Rapunzel are among the most discussed anniversary candidates because of recent main story developments and their connection to the Goddess Squad.
Both characters fit the kind of story-important Pilgrim profile previously associated with major anniversary releases. Their redesigned appearances and weapons have also encouraged speculation about new playable versions.
That reasoning makes them plausible candidates, not confirmed banner characters. Neither Scarlet nor Rapunzel has received an official 4th Anniversary recruitment announcement.
If either character receives a Pilgrim banner, players should also check the published rate carefully. Recent Pilgrim recruitments have commonly used a lower featured rate than regular Special Recruit banners, but the 4th Anniversary rules must be verified separately.
Hansel and Gretel Rumors
Hansel and Gretel have received renewed attention because of the Old Tales storyline and the GINGERBREAD HOUSE side story.
The twins are closely connected to anniversary-relevant story threads, which makes their appearance possible. However, appearing in the story would not automatically confirm them as playable or obtainable Nikkes.
Until official character profiles or recruitment notices appear, Hansel and Gretel should remain classified as story-supported predictions.
Marian’s Possible New Form
A new version of Marian is a lower-confidence community theory. It is primarily based on her recent story importance, her relationship with Modernia and the Queen imagery used in the anniversary teaser.
Unlike an official character announcement, interpreting a crown or character absence in promotional artwork cannot confirm a banner. Players should not pre-farm equipment or reserve resources specifically for a new Marian form yet.
| Character prediction | Why players are discussing it | Current status |
| Scarlet | Recent story developments and Goddess Squad connection | Unconfirmed |
| Rapunzel | Story importance and redesigned weapon speculation | Unconfirmed |
| Hansel and Gretel | Old Tales and GINGERBREAD HOUSE story setup | Unconfirmed |
| New Marian form | Queen-related story and teaser interpretations | Low-confidence theory |
Anniversary Rewards and Free Pull Expectations
The only currently confirmed recruitment reward is the one Recruit Voucher from the anniversary information-site sharing campaign.
The following rewards have not been confirmed for the 4th Anniversary:
- A specific number of Advanced Recruit Vouchers
- Daily free Special Recruit pulls
- A free SSR character
- An anniversary SSR selector
- Livestream redeem codes
- Free costumes
- Bonus Gold Mileage
- A Step-Up recruitment banner
- Previous anniversaries provide useful context, but they cannot establish the 2026 reward total. Community calculations placed the 3rd Anniversary near 200 recruitment opportunities when combining Advanced Recruit Vouchers, event-specific pulls, daily free attempts and Ordinary Recruit Vouchers.
- Those recruitment types were not interchangeable. Ordinary Recruit Vouchers cannot normally be used on Special Recruit banners, while some free anniversary attempts may follow separate Mileage rules.
How Many Gems and Tickets Should You Save?
One Special Recruit normally costs 300 Gems, while one Advanced Recruit Voucher covers one eligible Special Recruit.
Use this calculation to estimate your available banner pulls:
Special Recruit pulls = Advanced Recruit Vouchers + Gems ÷ 300
Keep Gold Mileage separate from this total. It is an exchange resource rather than a random pull.
| Current resources | Available Special Recruit pulls | What they provide |
| 10 vouchers + 6,000 Gems | 30 pulls | A limited attempt with no featured-unit guarantee |
| 20 vouchers + 24,000 Gems | 100 pulls | A substantial attempt, but still dependent on luck |
| 40 vouchers + 48,000 Gems | 200 pulls | Enough pulls to generate 200 Gold Mileage Tickets |
| 200 existing Gold Mileage | No pulls required | One eligible featured exchange after checking the Mileage Shop |
Gold Mileage and the 200-Pull Exchange
NIKKE uses Gold Mileage as a spark system rather than guaranteeing the featured character after a fixed number of failed pulls.
Eligible Special Recruit pulls normally provide one Gold Mileage Ticket each. At 200 tickets, players can exchange for an eligible featured character through the Mileage Shop.
Starting from zero therefore requires:
- 200 Special Recruit pulls
- 60,000 Gems if no vouchers are used
- Fewer Gems when Advanced Recruit Vouchers are available
- For example, a player with 120 existing Gold Mileage Tickets needs another 80 eligible Special Recruit pulls to reach 200. Without vouchers, those 80 pulls would cost 24,000 Gems.
Top Up NIKKE Gems for the Anniversary
After the official banners and free rewards are announced, subtract your Advanced Recruit Vouchers, existing Gems and available Gold Mileage from your target budget.
If you need more gems, you can recharge them on the Victory Goddess: Nico recharge page in UUTOP. Come and buy them!
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the NIKKE 4th Anniversary?
NIKKE’s original global launch anniversary falls on November 4. The 2026 anniversary campaign begins earlier: the livestream is scheduled for October 24, while the official information-site countdown currently points toward October 29 for the Third Surface Reclamation War.
Who are the confirmed anniversary characters?
No new 4th Anniversary character has been officially announced. Scarlet, Rapunzel, Hansel, Gretel and Marian are predictions or community theories rather than confirmed banner units.
Should Ordinary Recruit Vouchers be saved?
Ordinary Recruit Vouchers cannot normally be used on Special Recruit banners. Saving them may be useful if the anniversary update adds permanent characters or changes the Wishlist, but new accounts still working toward the level 160 wall may benefit more from using them earlier.
