Reverse: 1999 Banners

Should you pull? Now live, and often the safer long-term investment of the two anniversary units. Pull if her Mineral utility fills a gap on your roster; the banner carries its own 10-pull giveaway, so the first stretch is cheap. See our full build coverage for her psychubes, Resonance, and teams.

Opened September 3 as Rhiannon rotated out, running through roughly September 24. The third-anniversary patch also handed every player a free 6-star Coppelia plus around 45 pulls from sign-in events.

Should you pull? Confirmed, dated, and nine days out. Version 3.8 "The Temporal Scale" opens September 24 (UTC-5) with the new Mineral 6-star Everecho headlining Phase 1. Two things make this a better-funded patch than it looks: the developers' broadcast gift pays 120 Clear Drops plus a Jar of Picrasma Candy for logging in between September 9 and 23, and the version event itself pays 14 Unilog across two phases. Claim the broadcast gift before the 23rd, because it expires when the version turns over. Note that CN bundles the Atomic Heart collaboration into its 3.8; Global already ran that collaboration back in July, so it will not repeat here.

No longer a projection: the September 24 (UTC-5) date was confirmed by the developers' broadcast in early September, which also refreshed the beginner banner (Semmelweis, Mercuria and A Knight replace three of the old 6-stars, with 30 Unitone and one guaranteed 6-star pull from the new roster for existing players). Everecho debuted on CN on June 11, and June 11 plus the measured 105-day gap is September 24 exactly, so the arithmetic and the announcement agree.

Should you pull? Confirmed as the Phase 2 headliner of 3.8, but not yet dated. If you are saving, the useful thing to know is that a two-phase version gives you the whole first half to decide: Everecho's channel has to close before this one opens, so you can watch Phase 1 play out and still be in time.

Cornerstone as the 3.8 Phase 2 unit is confirmed; the start date is not announced. Cornerstone opened CN Phase 2 on July 2, and July 2 plus the measured 105-day gap lands on October 15, which is also where a mid-version phase flip would sit in a six-week 3.8 running September 24 to early November. Treat October 15 as arithmetic rather than an announcement, and no `starts` date is set here for that reason.
