New 4th Anniversary Units: Marian: Queen, Scarlet: Goddeath, Rapunzel: Sanctuary
All three are Pilgrim units. Official profiles posted by the NIKKE account on October 25:
| Nikke | Squad | Weapon | How to get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marian: Queen | Counters | MG: Perfect World | Pick Up Recruitment, Oct 29 to Nov 19 |
| Scarlet: Goddeath | Goddess | AR: Beyond the Fade | Pick Up Recruitment, Nov 5 to Nov 26 |
| Rapunzel: Sanctuary | Goddess | RL: Holy Grace | Free from story event MARIA-n, the 14-Day Login Event and the 4th Anniversary Event |
Marian: Queen has become a true Queen to create a world where no one must die, including the people she holds dear. Her story is told in MARIA-n, which opens alongside her banner.
Scarlet: Goddeath and Rapunzel: Sanctuary were both heavily damaged in the decisive battle in Eden, then upgraded with Eden’s technology combined with Nikke production technology. Scarlet’s sword is forged from her own broken blade and her sister’s, reinforced with Dark Matter. Rapunzel uses parts from Red Shoes, which improves her mobility, and her upgraded body also shores up her defenses.
Skill and Burst numbers for the three units were not in the written official announcements as of October 25.
Free 4th Anniversary Rewards: Over 259 Recruits
According to the official rewards graphic, events during the anniversary give rewards equivalent to more than 259 recruit opportunities. That figure combines the vouchers, Gems and free daily recruits below:
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Advanced Recruit Voucher | 96 |
| Recruit Voucher | 77 |
| Gem | 900 |
| Selective Recruitment Voucher | 20 |

| Free Pilgrim Selection daily recruit | 21 |

| 4th Anniversary profile decoration and materials | Included |
The 4 free copies of Rapunzel: Sanctuary come from 1 direct copy plus 3 Selection Boxes. Each box lets you choose Rapunzel: Sanctuary, Chime, Rapunzel: Pure Grace or Snow White: Innocent Days, so every box you spend on another Nikke means one fewer Rapunzel: Sanctuary copy.
The October 24 livestream also passed 100,000 viewers, which unlocked Advanced Recruit Voucher x10 for everyone, sent to the in-game mailbox after the update maintenance. Claim it by Friday, November 20, 01:00 WIB.

The codes have worked since October 24, so you do not need to wait for the October 29 update.
Chapters 49 and 50, Story Mode and New Bosses
The 4th Anniversary Main Story brings the climactic fight against the Queen:
- Chapter 49: The final conflict with everything on the line. Introduces the new boss Nostalgia, a colossal entity born from a twisted, desperate wish for paradise.
- Chapter 50: We are going up! Introduces the new boss Goddess of Victory, the Queen after she took over Liliweiss’s body and fused with the Lift. This boss also appears in the 4th Anniversary Event and Solo Raid season 43.
- Story Mode, with simplified stages and a lower Power requirement, opens at the same time, so players without enough Power can still follow the story.
Two limited costumes arrive through the Costume Gacha: Lacrimosa for Snow White: Heavy Arms and Last Affection for Marian: Queen. Both include full voice, a Burst Skill cutscene, a standing pose, a special SD motion and a costume-exclusive combat effect.
Twitch Drops, Web Event and Offline Events
- Twitch Drops: watch Drops-enabled NIKKE streams for 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes to earn Gems and other items. These rewards cannot be combined with the CHZZK Drops event; each player can claim from only one of the two.
- Trajectory of the Goddess: a story retrospective web event that gives Recruit Vouchers and other rewards, running until November 18.
Announced offline events are in Times Square, New York (October 29), animate Los Angeles (October 31 to November 14), Düsseldorf (November 7 to 8) and Akihabara, Tokyo (November 7 to 8).
Planning Gems Before the Banners Open
The codes and anniversary rewards add up to a lot of Gems, but if you want both Marian: Queen and Scarlet: Goddeath, work out what you still need before November 5. For players in Indonesia, Gems can be topped up through NIKKE top up on ItemGame with your User ID and server (SEA, Global, NA, JP or KR). Make sure the server matches the one shown in game, as explained in the guide to finding your User ID and server. For another gacha update this month, see Honkai Impact 3rd v9.1.
