Deep Cold Issue Banner Details

The Deep Cold Issue is an Arsenal Issue banner that focuses on weapons. Each issue costs Arsenal Tickets and grants 10 random weapons from the available pool, with at least one 5★ or better guaranteed. The full list of 6★ weapons that may appear includes:

• Umbra of Frigid Eventide (Arts Unit) – rate-up
• Exemplar (Greatsword)
• Clannibal (Handcannon)
• Valiant (Polearm)
• Oblivion (Arts Unit)
• Detonation Unit (Arts Unit)
• Rapid Ascent (Sword)

This banner is time-limited, so plan your pulls accordingly. The exact end date is tied to the release of the third Chartered Headhunting banner after Winter Hunt, which is not yet specified in official materials.

Arsenal Issue Rewards and Exchange

In every Arsenal Issue, performing a set number of issues grants the banner's specific Arms Offering Crate or the Rate-Up 6★ Weapon in alternating order. These rewards reset when the banner ends and do not carry over to other Arsenal Issue banners, so make sure to claim them before time runs out.

Additionally, the Arsenal Exchange allows you to spend Arsenal Tickets directly to purchase weapons. The available stock may rotate periodically, so check the in-game Acquisition Center – Arsenal Exchange for the current offerings.

Should You Pull?

Umbra of Frigid Eventide is a powerful Arts Unit weapon that can significantly boost your damage output, especially for characters that scale with Arts. If you're building a team around an Arts DPS, this weapon is a strong investment.

For F2P and low-spend players, consider your current weapon roster and future banner plans. Since Arsenal Tickets are a premium currency, weigh the value of this banner against upcoming character banners. If you already have a solid 6★ weapon for your main DPS, you might want to save your resources.

Teams and Synergies

While specific character synergies are not detailed in official materials, Arts Unit weapons generally pair well with characters that deal elemental or Arts damage. Look for units that benefit from increased Arts ATK or have skills that scale with weapon stats. Experiment with different team compositions to find the best fit for your playstyle.

Pre-Patch To-Dos

Before the Deep Cold Issue banner ends, make sure you:

• Complete Chapter I Process I: Break the Siege to unlock the banner.
• Save up Arsenal Tickets if you plan to pull.
• Check the Arsenal Exchange for any weapons you might want to purchase directly.

Day-1 Priorities

After the update, head to the Acquisition Center to review the banner details and plan your pulls. If you're aiming for Umbra of Frigid Eventide, consider doing a few issues early to test your luck, but keep an eye on your ticket count.

Conclusion

The Deep Cold Issue banner offers a valuable chance to obtain Umbra of Frigid Eventide, a top-tier Arts Unit weapon. Whether you're a whale or a free-to-play player, understanding the banner's mechanics and rewards will help you make the most of your Arsenal Tickets.
