NIKKE Halloween 2026: Belorta SSR & 4th Anniversary Teaser

The Goddess of Victory: NIKKE Halloween update arrives after maintenance on 2026-10-08, headlined by an SSR alt of Belorta called Pumpkin Witch. The Little Witch Trick event runs through 2026-10-28, and Shift Up has also teased the 4th anniversary stream set for 2026-10-24 at 2:30am PT / 5:30am ET.

This update matters because it marks Belorta's transition from an SR unit to a limited SSR, giving Commanders a new Water-element Supporter to consider. Meanwhile, the anniversary teaser art—titled "Here We Stand, Goddesses of Victory"—hints at a major celebration ahead. For more NIKKE news and guides, visit our game hub.

Belorta: Pumpkin Witch – Banner and Kit

Belorta's new SSR version wields the Candy Shot Rocket Launcher and deals Water damage. She remains a Tetra Line character and fills a Supporter role, with abilities and a Burst Skill that buff attack for her team. Her official trailer showcases her Halloween-themed design and skills.

Should You Pull?

For players needing a Water-element Supporter, Belorta: Pumpkin Witch could be a valuable addition, especially if you lack strong buffers for Water-weak content. However, with the 4th anniversary approaching, F2P Commanders may want to save resources for potential limited banners. Low-spenders should weigh her against upcoming anniversary units. Optimal players might pull if she fills a niche in their roster, but await anniversary details before committing.

Little Witch Trick Event & Rewards

The Little Witch Trick event stars Belorta and runs from 2026-10-08 to 2026-10-28. By clearing event stages, Commanders can earn items and rewards. Additionally, the Crust: Treat Chef costume is available as an October Mission Pass reward until 2026-10-31.

Cinderella's Most Beautiful Maid

Celebrating her popularity poll win, Cinderella gets a dedicated event called Most Beautiful Maid, running 2026-10-08 to 2026-10-28. Logging in during this period grants the Glass Curtsy costume and her "Beautiful Me" theme song. The top five poll characters—Cinderella, Arcana: Fortune Mate, Liberalio, Little Mermaid, and Snow White: Heavy Arms—also receive free avatar frames, available from update launch until 2026-12-03. A Hansel and Gretel Gingerbread House side story will also appear.

4th Anniversary Teaser

Shift Up has released teaser art for the 4th anniversary, titled "Here We Stand, Goddesses of Victory". The image features familiar characters: Rapi, Cinderella, Little Mermaid, and Helm on the left; Anis, Neon, Snow White, Ark Ranger Black, and Laplace on the right. The anniversary stream airs 2026-10-24 at 2:30am PT / 5:30am ET. Details beyond the teaser are Unconfirmed — subject to change.

What to Do Now

• F2P: Save gems for the anniversary; only pull on Belorta if you desperately need a Water Supporter.
• Low-spend: Consider the Mission Pass for the Crust costume if you value cosmetics.
• Optimal: Evaluate Belorta's kit against your existing roster; wait for anniversary stream before heavy investment.
• Everyone: Log in during the event period to claim Cinderella's free costume and theme song.
