NIKKE 4th Anniversary Selection Box lets you claim one of four Pilgrim SSRs: Rapunzel: Sanctuary, Chime, Rapunzel: Pure Grace or Snow White: Innocent Days. You get to choose the character instead of gambling on a normal recruitment, so it’s worth checking what your account is missing before you open it.
If you want to fully limit-break the new free Rapunzel: Sanctuary, pick her whenever you earn one of these boxes. If you own Crown but don’t have Chime, that is a strong alternative. A newer account might get more use from filling an empty Burst I or Burst III slot than from improving a character it already has.
Where to get a NIKKE 4th Anniversary Selection Box
The NIKKE 4th Anniversary Selection Box is awarded for clearing the MARIA-n story stages and Challenge Missions. STORY I opens after the October 29 update, while STORY II opens November 5. You need to finish the required stages and challenges before November 19 at 04:59 KST, so don’t assume the box is awarded just for entering the event.
Another box comes from the TO THE ENDPOINT 14-day attendance event, which ends at the same time. The fourth-anniversary programme advertises up to three bonus Sanctuary choices across selection rewards, but the English patch notice only itemises the MARIA-n and 14-day boxes separately. Check the 4th Anniversary Present and the live event reward screens after maintenance for any additional box before assuming you’ve collected them all.
NIKKE 4th Anniversary Selection Box: all four SSR choices
All four choices are Pilgrim SSRs, but they fill different jobs. Sanctuary is the new Fire Burst II healer and attack buffer. Chime is an Iron Burst II support, particularly relevant to Crown teams. Pure Grace is an Iron Burst I Defender with shielding and damage buffs. Innocent Days is an Iron Burst III Assault Rifle Attacker.
This NIKKE 4th Anniversary Selection Box comparison is based on the characters’ actual jobs, not their release order. Use the table to identify which one fills a gap in your squad or gives you the limit-break copy you’re after.
| SSR | Class and Burst | Best reason to choose |
|---|---|---|
| Rapunzel: Sanctuary | Fire / Burst II / Supporter / Rocket Launcher | You want to limit-break the new free healing and damage Supporter |
| Chime | Iron / Burst II / Supporter / SMG | You own Crown and want Chime’s support for her |
| Rapunzel: Pure Grace | Iron / Burst I / Defender / Sniper Rifle | You need a Burst I unit with a shield and attack-damage buffs |
| Snow White: Innocent Days | Iron / Burst III / Attacker / Assault Rifle | You are missing an Iron-code damage dealer or want to collect her |
Should you choose Rapunzel Sanctuary or another SSR?
For a full limit break on Sanctuary, take her from the available selection boxes and claim the separate login copy. For a Crown-focused roster, Chime is worth serious consideration. If you’re short on a Burst III Attacker, Snow White: Innocent Days can be a more immediate addition. The NIKKE 4th Anniversary Selection Box is a choice between those outcomes, not a reward that gives them all.
If you’re new to NIKKE, check your Burst lineup before choosing. Rapunzel: Pure Grace is a Burst I Defender, not a dedicated team healer; her shield mainly protects herself while she offers attack-damage support. Sanctuary heals teammates in Burst II. Those differences matter more than the similar Rapunzel names.
Which NIKKE 4th Anniversary Selection Box character is best?
If you already own Chime, Pure Grace and Innocent Days, Rapunzel: Sanctuary is the clearest anniversary pick because it moves the new free unit towards a full limit break. If you don’t own Chime and regularly use Crown, picking Chime may improve that team more than a Sanctuary duplicate. There isn’t a confirmed universal ranking for Sanctuary before her October 29 release.
You can claim the free Sanctuary copy first and look at her final skill details when the patch is available. No need to rush a box selection just to follow a day-one tier list. Check the box’s inventory rules before postponing the choice, though, because earning an event box and opening it later are not necessarily governed by the same deadline.
When does the NIKKE 4th Anniversary Selection Box expire?
The NIKKE 4th Anniversary Selection Box from MARIA-n must be earned by finishing the event stages and Challenge Missions before the November 19 deadline at 04:59 KST. The TO THE ENDPOINT attendance box has the same event deadline, so make sure you log in on fourteen eligible days. Once you’ve claimed a box, read its inventory description before deciding whether to open it later.
Don’t mix the NIKKE 4th Anniversary Selection Box up with Pilgrim Selective Recruitment. That is a separate banner where you target Cinderella, Grave or Nayuta using recruitment attempts. The anniversary box guarantees one of its four listed SSRs; the banner uses gacha probabilities.
