Maintenance runs from 2026-09-17 11:00:00 to 18:00:00 (UTC+9), and the update is mandatory.

Banner Schedule and Rates
The update introduces two new SSR Nikkes via standard rate-up banners, alongside a Limited Select Recruit that brings back six winter units. Exact banner durations and rates are not stated in official materials at the time of writing, but based on previous NIKKE patterns, expect each rate-up to run for approximately two weeks with a 2% SSR rate and a 1% rate-up for the featured unit.
| Banner | Featured Unit | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rate-Up 1 | Guilty: Mighty Bunny | New SSR | Likely 2-week duration |
| Rate-Up 2 | Sin: Swift Bunny | New SSR | Likely 2-week duration |
| Limited Select Recruit | Six winter units | Returning | Selection system; details TBA |
Unconfirmed — subject to change: The Limited Select Recruit may allow players to choose one of six winter units as their rate-up target. This system was previously used in 2025 and is expected to return with the same mechanics.
Should You Pull?
Guilty: Mighty Bunny and Sin: Swift Bunny are both bunny-themed variants of existing characters. Based on their base versions, Guilty typically fills a DPS role with self-sustain, while Sin leans toward support with debuff utility. However, without official skill multipliers, it is too early to judge their meta impact.
For F2P players, the Limited Select Recruit is often the higher-value target because it offers a guaranteed path to a specific unit. If you already own strong DPS and support units, consider skipping the new SSRs unless they fill a niche in your roster.
Low-spend players should prioritize the Limited Select Recruit if they lack any of the six winter units, as those characters have proven longevity in raid and campaign content. Optimal players may want to pull for both new SSRs if they have the resources, but waiting for community testing before committing is advisable.
Events and Rewards
The centerpiece is COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN, a battle royale-style event featuring 99 Bunny Girls. Players will compete in a mini-game that likely involves elimination mechanics and reward tiers. Standout rewards include new costumes, recruitment vouchers, and event currency.
The event is expected to run for two weeks, with daily and weekly tasks. A fully voiced story event will also be available, though specific narrative details are not stated in official materials. Based on previous updates, expect login bonuses and a event shop where you can exchange currency for upgrade materials.
Teams and Synergies
Without official skill data, team-building advice is speculative. However, if Guilty: Mighty Bunny follows her base version's kit, she will likely pair well with burst-generation supports like Liter or Dorothy. Sin: Swift Bunny may fit into teams that rely on sustained damage, potentially alongside Modernia or Scarlet.
The Limited Select Recruit units are known quantities: winter-themed versions of popular characters. If you pick one up, they will slot into existing teams with minimal adjustment. For more detailed team guides, see our NIKKE September 2026 update breakdown.
What to Do Now
- F2P: Save gems for the Limited Select Recruit; skip the new SSRs unless you have spare vouchers.
- Low-spend: Consider the monthly pass if you need extra pulls for the Limited Select Recruit.
- Optimal: Wait for community testing on the new SSRs before pulling; the Limited Select Recruit is a safe investment.
- All players: Clear storage space and update early to avoid maintenance delays.
Conclusion
The COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN update is a substantial one, offering new units, a returning limited banner, and a unique event. While the new SSRs are tempting, the Limited Select Recruit likely provides the best value for most Commanders. Stay tuned to EarlyGG for further analysis once official rates and skills are released.
