Revision 1

Version 1.3 "Rising from the Moonlit Fog" runs its gacha rotation in two phases across roughly six weeks. Phase 1 opened with the Version 1.3 Update on August 19, 2026 and pairs a debut with a rerun. Phase 2 is scheduled to take over on September 9. Both phases use the same Limited Board format the game has used since launch.

Phase 1: August 19 to September 9

Both boards close at 05:59 (UTC+8) on September 9, and both carry the same A-Class pool: Mint, Edgar and Adler. Access to either board requires clearing the main story quest "Prologue - A New Destination - Head to Eibon Antique Shop".

Alluring Shadows

The debut board for Zankou also carries three cosmetics: the "Scarlet Sash" glider livery, the "Sandy Mirage" livery for the Sirocco vehicle, and Zankou’s "Autumn Vignette" outfit. The board runs on Solid Dice or the board-specific Alluring Dice.

The companion "Alluring Perks" event tracks cumulative rolls on this board. You can either claim the cosmetics outright at milestones or land on their tiles earlier through normal rolling.

First-party notes are explicit that Zankou is available only from this board, with no other acquisition route planned at this time.

The Ichi-daime

The rerun board brings back Nanally with the "Underboss-of-the-Underboss" glider livery, the "Tiger Incoming!" M1000 livery, and her "Phoenix Kick" outfit. Its milestone track is called "Tiger Perks" and uses the same 50, 120 and 200 roll thresholds.

Perks progress is tracked per board and does not cross over. Rolls on "Alluring Shadows" do not advance Tiger Perks, and vice versa. Progress does carry forward between boards that share the same name, so a future Ichi-daime rerun would resume where you left off.

Board Rules

The Limited Board is a track-and-tile system rather than a straight pull. A roll moves your piece 1 to 6 tiles with equal probability, and you claim whatever the landing tile shows.

Because the pity counter is shared, rolls spent on the Nanally rerun still build toward the guarantee you would cash in on Zankou, and vice versa. Newer players planning a start should read the Reroll Guide before committing dice.

Arc Research Programs

Signature Arcs sit on a separate track from characters. Version 1.3 runs two programs in parallel, both open for the same August 19 to September 9 window and both gated behind the same story unlock.

Each Arc is currently obtainable only through its own program. Ravenous Blade is the Gas-type companion to Zankou’s kit, carrying the flavour line "Where fear takes hold, death is never far behind." For the wider catalogue, see the Arcs Database and Arcs and Weapons.

Phase 2: September 9 to September 30

The second phase has been announced but had not gone live as of this writing, and the details below are drawn from community tracking rather than a published first-party board page. Treat them as provisional until the official event notice appears.

Community tracking lists Linko as an S-Class Anima character with a Plasma Arc type, associated with the Bureau of Anomaly Control, and expected on September 9. Her first-meet line has circulated as "Bzzt, bzzt! Appraiser, do you copy? This is Linko from ETD-6, executing Operation Play Date!" None of her kit numbers are confirmed in a first-party source yet.

Roster Context

Adding Zankou brings the playable roster to 15 S-Class characters alongside the 6 A-Class characters available since launch, and Linko would push that to 16 S-Class in September. No first-party source publishes a running roster total, so these counts are community tallies rather than confirmed figures. The Characters (Espers) Guide and the Tier List track the current lineup.
