At a Glance

• Event: Pick-Up Recruitment for Kisaki (Swimsuit) and Shun (Swimsuit)
• Dates: 2025-10-13 after maintenance – 2025-10-27 01:59 UTC
• Type: Two separate Pick-Up banners (each with own rate-up)
• Currency: Pyroxene and Recruitment Points
• Eligibility: All players

Banner Schedule and Rates

Both banners run concurrently for two weeks. The exact maintenance start time on 2025-10-13 is not stated in official materials, but the end time is firm: 2025-10-27 01:59 UTC. As always, the Pick-Up probability applies only to the featured student on their respective banner.

Recruitment Points can be used to recruit the featured student during their Pick-Up period. After the period ends, any unused Recruitment Points are converted to Keystone Pieces. Both students will also be available in the regular recruitment pool after their Pick-Up ends, but without the rate-up.

Should You Pull?

Kisaki (Swimsuit)

Kisaki (Swimsuit) is a limited summer variant of the popular Kisaki. While her exact skillset is not detailed in the announcement, summer units often bring unique utility to raid and PvP content. If you missed her original version or need a strong blue-attacker, this banner is worth considering. However, with anniversary and other major events potentially on the horizon, budget your Pyroxene carefully.

Shun (Swimsuit)

Shun (Swimsuit) offers another limited summer variant. Shun is known for her high single-target damage, and the swimsuit version may fill a similar niche. Players who already have a strong roster might skip, but collectors and those aiming for top scores in Total Assault should evaluate their needs.

F2P and Low-Spend Advice

• F2P: With two banners running simultaneously, prioritize the student that fills a gap in your roster. If you're unsure, wait for community reviews before pulling.
• Low-Spend: Consider the monthly Pyroxene pack if you're close to pity. Remember that Recruitment Points do not carry over between banners, so plan your pulls accordingly.
• Optimal: If you have enough Pyroxene for both, pulling on both banners is viable, but be mindful of upcoming limited banners that may be announced later.

Events and Rewards

The Pick-Up Recruitments are not tied to a specific event, but they coincide with the 10/13 (Tue) Update. No additional login bonuses or rewards are mentioned in the announcement. Players should check the in-game notice for any compensation following the maintenance.

Teams and Synergies

Without detailed skill information, it's difficult to assess exact team synergies. However, summer variants often synergize with existing meta teams. Kisaki (Swimsuit) may pair well with other blue-damage dealers, while Shun (Swimsuit) could fit into crit-focused compositions. Stay tuned for our upcoming analysis once skills are revealed.

Conclusion

The Kisaki (Swimsuit) and Shun (Swimsuit) Pick-Up Recruitments offer a two-week window to recruit two limited 3★ students. With no rate details provided, players should rely on the standard 3★ rate and pity system. Plan your Pyroxene wisely, and don't forget to use Recruitment Points before the banners end on 2025-10-27 at 01:59 UTC.
