Goddess of Victory: Nikke Adds Three New Nikkes for Its 4th Anniversary, With Rapunzel Free on October 29

日本語版を読む →

Three new SSR Nikkes were unveiled during Part 2 of Goddess of Victory: Nikke’s 4th anniversary livestream, To the Promised Land: The Goddesses Assemble. Marian: Queen (voiced by Kana Hanazawa) and Rapunzel: Sanctuary (voiced by Suzuko Mimori) arrive after maintenance on October 29, while Guren: Godslayer (voiced by Reina Ueda) shows up starting November 5.

Rapunzel: Sanctuary is the 4th anniversary giveaway Nikke, with one copy from the login event and up to three more free from the 4th Anniversary Nikke Selection Box. Marian: Queen and Guren: Godslayer come through Special Recruit. All three carry the Fire code, giving you a set of two Attackers and one Supporter.

This article pulls together all three kits and how to get them, their release dates, and the 4th anniversary event MARIA-n plus main story chapters 49 and 50, which all go live together on October 29. The two who were left wounded by last year’s story are coming back under new names. For any Commander who has followed this far, I think that alone is reason enough.

Let’s start with the overview.

When do NIKKE’s three new 4th anniversary Nikkes arrive? The full kit rundown

Marian: Queen and Rapunzel: Sanctuary arrive after maintenance on October 29, 2026, and Guren: Godslayer shows up starting November 5. The reveal came in Part 2 of the 4th anniversary livestream on October 24, 2026, and all three share the Fire code.

Two Attackers on Burst III and a Supporter on Burst II is a combination that drops straight into a single team. The free Rapunzel covers both healing and attack buffs, so landing either Marian or Guren gives you a core built out of the three new anniversary units. It’s designed so even free-to-play players can lock down the support slot.

What kind of Nikke is Marian: Queen?

An Attacker with a machine gun and a Burst III skill. The hook is periodic area damage that hits large numbers of enemies, and firing the Burst skill boosts her attack power. She is affiliated with Counters, and Kana Hanazawa voices her. She arrives on Special Recruit after maintenance on October 29.

The fact that the name is Marian is drawing more conversation than the kit is. That’s her Counters-era name, not the Modernia label. Factor in how she was damaged in last year’s story and any Commander should grasp what it means for her to return with this name and this affiliation. The 4th anniversary event’s title, MARIA-n, isn’t hiding that she’s at the center of it either. The heart of the story stays under wraps until the October 29 release, so I won’t touch it here.

What kind of Nikke is Guren: Godslayer?

An Attacker with an assault rifle and a Burst III skill. The kit specializes in penetration damage, with attack power getting a boost when the Burst skill fires. Reina Ueda provides the voice, and the unit joins Special Recruit on November 5.

Guren is the only one of the three pushed back by a week. You can secure Marian and Rapunzel on October 29 and then decide whether to chase Guren on November 5, which makes budgeting your Gems easy. A penetration build shines less in boss fights and more when you’re punching a straight line through enemies lined up side by side, so the role is clearly split from Marian’s area damage. Land both and the holes in your damage basically vanish, but personally I’d go for Marian first. Not because of the kit. Because of the name.

How many copies of Rapunzel: Sanctuary can you get for free?

This is the 4th anniversary giveaway Nikke, with one copy from the login event after maintenance on October 29 and up to three more from the 4th Anniversary Nikke Selection Box. It’s a Supporter with a rocket launcher and a Burst II skill that heals allies and boosts allied attack power when Burst fires. Suzuko Mimori provides the voice.

On the livestream, the team’s own messaging introduced the unit with lines like “As a Supporter, she wields overwhelming power” and “The 4th anniversary Rapunzel is a little different.” Up to four free copies means Limit Break is reachable without spending anything. The 4th anniversary period runs from October 8, 2026 to 23:59 on November 18, so you’ll want to claim the Selection Box inside that window.

What else kicks off on October 29? The 4th anniversary event MARIA-n and story chapters 49-50

The October 29, 2026 update opens the 4th anniversary event MARIA-n and adds main story chapters 49 and 50. In the story, the Third Surface Recapture Operation begins. MARIA-n is also set to include a special animation.

Three new Nikkes, an event, two story chapters and a Pilgrim Select Recruit all pile onto the same day. As 4th anniversary updates go, that’s thick. The Pilgrim Select Recruit is a rare chance to target a past Pilgrim deliberately, so you’re better off settling before the October 29 maintenance whether your Gems go there or into the new units’ Special Recruit.

The recap: NIKKE’s 4th anniversary Nikkes and October 29

Marian and Rapunzel arrive after maintenance on October 29, Guren from November 5. Rapunzel is a giveaway, with one copy from login and up to three from the Selection Box for four free in total.
