New SSR: Ark Ranger Black

The headline addition to this patch is SSR Ark Ranger Black, a Tetra-manufactured Attacker who wields the Crying Black AR and belongs to the Wind Code. She's part of the new Special Recruit banner and is themed around the in-universe "Ark Rangers" TV hero series. As a member of this hero squad, Ark Ranger Black aspires to become a real-life hero, stepping beyond her TV persona to protect the citizens of the Ark whenever danger strikes. Her introduction also ties directly into the new ARK RANGER story event, making her a key character for players following this patch's narrative content. With her Wind Code and AR weapon type, she slots naturally into teams built around sustained Wind damage and Burst-focused rotations.

Ark Ranger Black focuses on sustained damage output, with her Burst Skill triggering a transformation that boosts her own attack capabilities. This makes her a strong pick for Wind Code teams looking for a reliable, consistent attacker rather than a burst-nuke unit.

Pull rates follow the standard limited banner structure: a 4% chance for any SSR and a 2% chance specifically for Ark Ranger Black, with Gold Mileage Tickets earned per pull, exchangeable for her directly at 200 tickets.

Summer Reruns: Limited Select Recruit

Alongside the new unit, six fan-favorite summer-themed SSR Nikkes return via the Limited Select Recruit banner, where players can choose which Nikke gets rate-up treatment.
