Banner Mechanics Deep Dive

Special Recruit Rates

4% total SSR rate = 1% Snow White: Heavy Arms, 3% off-banner. Average: 100 pulls = 4 SSRs, 1 being rate-up. Expected 400 pulls for rate-up via probability alone—pity caps this at 200.

Gold Mileage System

1 ticket per pull on any Special Recruit banner. Never expires, never resets. 200 tickets = direct exchange for featured unit. If you have 150 tickets, need only 50 pulls to guarantee Snow White. Track current total in banner interface (top-right).

Step Up Value

Phase 1: 67% savings (100 gems vs 300). Phase 2: 50% savings (150 gems/pull). Spending 1600 gems on Phases 1-2 = 11 pulls (145 gems/pull average). Same 1600 on standard = 5.3 pulls. Step Up delivers 107% more pulls per gem early.

Character Analysis

Snow White: Heavy Arms

SSR Water Burst III Sniper, Seven Dwarves I+II, Pilgrim faction. Pilgrim = elevated stats + unique skills. Water element for raid bosses/campaign requirements. Burst III = primary damage slot (competes with Modernia, Scarlet: Black Shadow). Sniper = long-range DPS with safety. Seven Dwarves I+II suggests multi-phase abilities or stacking buffs.

Rapi: Red Hood

SSR Fire Burst III MG, Seven Dwarves Zero, Elysion faction, Over-spec. Fire element complements Water rosters. MG = sustained DPS vs burst damage. Over-spec = Pilgrim-tier power in Elysion framework. Seven Dwarves Zero = distinct skill tree. Elysion synergy with Rapi (standard) and Counters.

Pull Priority

Pull Snow White if:

• 150+ Gold Mileage (close to pity)
• Need Water Burst III coverage
• Building Pilgrim teams
• Value collection completion

Pull Rapi if:

• Limited gems (Step Up better value)
• Need Fire Burst III coverage
• Building Elysion teams
• Want immediate power gains

Skip both if:

• Strong Burst III in both elements
• Saving for future meta units
• Prioritize campaign over competitive modes

Low Spender Strategy

Early Game (Level 1-100)

Need roster breadth over depth.

1. Use all free vouchers on Special Recruit
2. Complete Step Up Phases 1-2 only (1600 gems)
3. Save remaining gems
4. Focus Gold Mileage toward first pity (200 tickets)

Quantity > quality early. Don't chase specific units before baseline team functionality.

Mid Game (Level 101-200)

Shift to specialization.

1. Evaluate roster gaps (elemental/role)
2. Pull Step Up full rotation if Rapi fills critical gap (6600 gems)
3. Use free vouchers on Special Recruit only if within 50 pulls of pity
4. Otherwise save for future events

Pull based on content roadblocks. If stuck on Fire-weak bosses, Rapi provides immediate value. If clearing comfortably, save.

Late Game (Level 200+)

Optimize for competitive modes.

1. Pull only if 10%+ damage increase in raids
2. Prioritize Gold Mileage pity for limited Pilgrims
3. Maintain 30,000+ gem reserve
4. Use free vouchers exclusively on Special Recruit for mileage

Test units before committing. Wait for transformative units that redefine compositions.

When to Skip

Skip if:

• Below 150 Gold Mileage and can't reach 200
• Upcoming units better address gaps
• Current units duplicate existing roles
• Lack gems for Step Up Phases 1-2

FOMO drives poor decisions. Limited banners return. Calculate opportunity cost: 10,000 gems for 33% chance means delaying next pity by 33 pulls for potential zero gain.

Common Mistakes

Splitting Resources

Don't distribute pulls across multiple banners. Gold Mileage only accumulates on Special Recruit. Splitting 100 pulls = 50 mileage (25% to pity) vs 100 mileage (50% to pity) from focus. F2P needs two focused events to guarantee Pilgrim. Splitting extends to four events.

Ignoring Pity Timing

Check Gold Mileage before pulling. Calculate exact pulls to 200. Verify sufficient resources. Banner ends January 22, 2026 04:59 UTC+9. At 180/200 on January 15, you have one week for 20 pulls via dailies/events/small purchase.

Misunderstanding Rates

1% rate-up ≠ 1% per pull. It's 1% of 4% SSR rate. Over 100 pulls: expect 4 SSRs, 1 being Snow White. Variance means some get lucky, others drought. Plan for pity, celebrate early pulls as bonuses.

Neglecting Mileage Value

Track mileage in spreadsheet. Calculate accumulation from upcoming events. Plan pulling around 200-mileage thresholds. Example: 160 mileage + 100 free pulls = 200 total = guaranteed Snow White. 50 mileage can't reach pity—save instead.

Smart Spending

First-Time Bonuses

Doubled gems on first purchase = best conversion rates.

Highest value:

• Smallest tier ($0.99-$4.99): 2-3 pulls, ideal for pity gaps of 5-10
• Mid-tier ($9.99-$19.99): 10-15 pulls, completes Step Up rotations
• Monthly pass: Daily gems over 30 days, best for daily login commitment

Buy only when 10-20 pulls short of pity. Never just in case.

Monthly Pass vs One-Time

Monthly pass:

• Lowest cost/gem over 30 days
• Encourages daily logins
• Sustained income for saving

One-time:

• Immediate gems for urgent pity
• No login commitment
• First-time bonuses double value

Buy monthly pass at event start (late December) for 3-week accumulation. Use one-time packs as emergency gap-closers before banner expiration.

Post-Event Planning

Saving Targets

NIKKE runs 6-8 week event cycles.

Milestones:

• Minimum: 15,000 gems (50 pulls) for emergency pity
• Comfortable: 30,000 gems (100 pulls) for full participation
• Optimal: 60,000 gems (200 pulls) for guaranteed pity from zero

Income: ~200 gems/day (dailies), ~1000 gems/week (weeklies), campaign rewards, competitive rankings. F2P saves 15,000-20,000 gems/month with discipline. Track in spreadsheet: current gems, daily income, weekly income, target date.

Roster Gap Analysis

1. List SSRs by element (Fire, Water, Electric, Wind, Iron)
2. Categorize by Burst (I, II, III) and role (Tank, Healer, DPS, Support)
3. Identify missing combinations
4. Prioritize gaps blocking content

Evaluate new units against gaps. Units filling critical gaps = high priority. Units duplicating coverage = skip regardless of hype.

F2P Sustainability

Principles:

1. Pity-focused pulling only
2. Mileage accumulation priority
3. Meta-agnostic evaluation (your gaps, not tier lists)
4. Event completion discipline
5. 6-8 week saving cycles

F2P acquires 2-3 Pilgrims/year via pity + lucky pulls. Supports competitive viability with strategic selection. Compare your account to 3 months ago, not whales.

FAQ

How do I claim all 100 free pulls?

30 from New Year's Greetings Mail (Dec 29, 2025 - Jan 3, 2026), 55 from Event Update missions (Dec 30, 2025 - Jan 14, 2026), 50+ from CDK codes. Redeem via Notice > Event Notice > CD-Key Redemption Portal, claim from mailbox.

Does pity carry over?

Gold Mileage carries over all Special Recruit banners permanently (1 ticket/pull, 200 = guarantee). Step Up resets each banner.

Best banner for low spenders?

Complete Step Up Phases 1-2 (1600 gems, 11 pulls, 67% savings). Use free vouchers on Special Recruit only if within 50 pulls of 200 Gold Mileage pity. Otherwise save.

How long does event last?

Mail: Dec 29, 2025 - Jan 3, 2026 (5 days). Missions: Dec 30, 2025 - Jan 14, 2026 (15 days). Snow White banner: Jan 1 - Jan 22, 2026 (21 days). 14 Days Login: through Jan 20, 2026. Claim mail before Jan 3 deadline.

Limited or wishlist banner?

Event features Special Recruit (limited) and Step Up (value). Pull Special if within 50 of 200 mileage pity. Pull Step Up Phases 1-2 for best conversion (145 gems/pull vs 300). Skip both if can't reach pity with functional roster.

How many gems can F2P get?

~200 gems/day (6,000/month) + ~1,000 gems/week (4,000/month) = 10,000+ during event. Plus campaign clears, competitive rankings, event rewards. Combined with 100+ free vouchers = 130-140 total pulls.
