Banner Breakdown
Phase 1: Queen (Makoto Niijima)
SSR Queen is a Fire-code Attacker using an SG (Iron Verdict). Her kit revolves around self-buffing and multi-target damage via her Burst Skill. She is exclusive to the Limited-Time Recruitment from August 13 – September 10, 2026.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Class | Attacker |
| Weapon | Iron Verdict (SG) |
| Code | Fire |
| Manufacturer | Abnormal |
| Availability | Limited-Time Recruitment only |
| Rate | 2% (SSR rate 4%) |
| Pity | 200 Gold Mileage Tickets |
Phase 2: Yukiko Amagi
SSR Yukiko Amagi is a Fire-code Attacker who also provides healing. She wields an MG (Crimson Bloom) and boosts her attacking and healing capabilities with her Burst. Her banner runs from August 20 – September 10, 2026.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Class | Attacker |
| Weapon | Crimson Bloom (MG) |
| Code | Fire |
| Manufacturer | Abnormal |
| Availability | Limited-Time Recruitment only |
| Rate | 2% (SSR rate 4%) |
| Pity | 200 Gold Mileage Tickets |
Both banners share the standard limited-time rules: 4% SSR rate with 2% for the featured unit. Gold Mileage Tickets carry over across banners but will not be usable for these characters after the event ends. Unused tickets remain for future limited banners.
SR Aigis
SR Aigis, an Iron-code Supporter with an SMG, is obtainable through event activities and the 14 Days Login Event. She is a free unit that strengthens allies and deals multi-target damage. She will not be added to the standard pool after the collab.
Should You Pull?
Queen (Makoto Niijima) is a strong Attacker with a straightforward self-buff and AoE burst. If you lack a Fire-code DPS for Solo Raid or Tribe Tower, she is a solid investment. However, she is a limited unit, so consider your Gem reserves carefully.
Yukiko Amagi offers a unique hybrid role as an Attacker with healing. This can free up a support slot in some comps, but her healing may not be as potent as dedicated healers. She is worth pulling if you value flexibility or are a Persona fan.
F2P and low-spend Commanders can safely skip both banners if they already have strong Fire units. SR Aigis is free, so you won’t miss out on a new character entirely. Save your Gold Mileage Tickets for future limited banners that may be more meta-defining.
