NIKKE Scarlet Goddeath is the second new Pilgrim SSR in the fourth-anniversary update. Her Special Recruit banner begins November 5, 2026 at 05:00 KST and ends November 26 at 04:59 KST. She’s a Fire-code Burst III Attacker using an Assault Rifle, with attacks built around Pierce damage.
You can try for Scarlet: Goddeath with Gems or Advanced Recruit Vouchers, make one free Special Recruit attempt each day while the banner is active, or exchange 200 Gold Mileage Tickets for a guaranteed copy. She does not arrive with Marian: Queen’s October 29 banner.
NIKKE Scarlet Goddeath release date and UK time
The NIKKE Scarlet Goddeath banner opens on Thursday, November 5 at 05:00 KST, which is Wednesday, November 4 at 8 PM GMT in the UK. It closes on November 26 at 04:59 KST, or November 25 at 7:59 PM GMT. The main anniversary story event ends earlier on November 19.
The October 29 update introduces Marian: Queen, Rapunzel: Sanctuary and the MARIA-n event first. Scarlet: Goddeath’s banner follows on November 5, with temporary participation in the Union Shooting Range during her recruitment period. That’s when you’ll be able to compare her skills and shooting performance without owning her.
How to recruit NIKKE Scarlet Goddeath
When her banner starts, go to Lobby → Recruit → Special Recruit → Scarlet: Goddeath. Use Gems or Advanced Recruit Vouchers for paid attempts. Ordinary Recruit Vouchers cannot be used, including the 16 tickets from the anniversary codes. Check our NIKKE Codes guide for what those codes do provide.
The featured NIKKE Scarlet Goddeath rate is 1% within the total 4% SSR rate. If you want a direct exchange instead of relying on random pulls, use 200 Gold Mileage Tickets in the Mileage Shop during the banner. Tickets you don’t spend will remain on your account afterwards.
NIKKE Scarlet Goddeath weapon, skills and role
NIKKE Scarlet Goddeath is a Pilgrim / Fire / Attacker / Assault Rifle / Burst III unit. Her weapon is Beyond the Fade. The official patch notes describe her as specialising in Pierce attacks. Her Burst enhances her offensive capabilities and lets her launch stronger attacks.
Pierce makes her attack style different from Marian: Queen’s repeated multi-target machine-gun damage. The final multipliers, skill rotation and best team composition need to come from the live character screen and testing once her banner opens. There’s no reason to claim she’s the strongest attacker in the game before those details are available.
Does NIKKE Scarlet Goddeath have free daily pulls?
The anniversary gives one free Scarlet: Goddeath Special Recruit attempt each day while her banner is live. That free attempt does not grant Gold Mileage Tickets and does not count towards the Recruitment Benefits Event milestones. Unused daily attempts are not advertised as carrying over, so claim them each day.
Gem- and Advanced Recruit Voucher-funded pulls still generate Gold Mileage and count towards the Recruitment Benefits milestones. Those milestones award Collection Item maintenance kits and Advanced Recruit Vouchers, and Scarlet’s tally is kept separate from Marian’s. Check the event panel before spending to see which next threshold you’re working towards.
NIKKE Scarlet Goddeath vs Marian Queen
Marian: Queen is a Machine Gun Attacker with repeated multi-target damage, while Scarlet: Goddeath uses an Assault Rifle with Pierce-focused attacks. Both are Fire Pilgrim Burst III characters with a 1% featured rate and 200 Gold Mileage price. Their banners overlap from November 5 until Marian’s ends on November 19.
If you’re choosing between them, use Marian’s free pulls after October 29 and wait for Scarlet’s Shooting Range trial from November 5 before spending your saved Advanced Recruit Vouchers. The NIKKE Scarlet Goddeath banner runs a week longer than Marian’s, so you don’t need to rush your decision on the first anniversary day.
Will NIKKE Scarlet Goddeath join Ordinary Recruit?
The patch notes say Scarlet: Goddeath will enter Ordinary Recruit and Mold items in a version update after her featured recruitment ends. She won’t be available through Social Point Recruit, New Commander Special Recruit or tutorial recruitment. A future appearance in the normal pool is a chance, not a guaranteed way to claim her.
Her story and new form are tied to the anniversary’s larger surface-recapture storyline, which also brings Campaign Chapters 49 and 50. You can join the MARIA-n event, claim anniversary login rewards and obtain free Rapunzel: Sanctuary without drawing Scarlet herself.
For NIKKE Scarlet Goddeath, the confirmed essentials are the November 5 banner start, November 26 end, 1% featured rate, free daily attempt and 200 Gold Mileage exchange. The fourth-anniversary rewards guide covers the free Rapunzel and Selection Boxes available separately from the new banners.
