NIKKE Coin Rush Showdown: Every Date, Banner and Deadline

COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN opens after the 17 September maintenance, and it isn't one deadline — it's four, and they don't line up.

The event closes 8 October. Guilty closes with it. Sin doesn't arrive until 24 September and her banner runs a week past the event, to 15 October. And Drake: Great Villain enters the standard pool on the day it all starts.

Here's every date, and what each one actually asks of you.

Every deadline

Opening 17 September, closing 8 October at 04:59 (UTC+9):

• COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN event stages and map exploration
• Event Shop exchange
• Guilty: Mighty Bunny Pick Up Recruitment
• Sugar: Killer Rabbit Costume Gacha

On a different schedule:

• Sin: Swift Bunny — opens 24 September, closes 15 October. A week behind the others, and a week past the event.
• Drake: Great Villain — enters the standard pool on 17 September. Not a deadline at all.

The two to watch are Sin and Drake, because both break the pattern everything else follows.

Drake becomes permanent

Drake: Great Villain enters the standard pool on 17 September.

That changes what her current banner means. Up to now, the question has been whether missing her window meant losing her indefinitely. It doesn't — her rate-up ends, and she becomes obtainable through standard recruitment afterwards.

Practical consequence: if you were pulling on Drake out of deadline pressure, stop. The pressure is gone. Pull if you want her sooner and at a better rate; skip if your Gems are better spent on the bunny banners, because she'll still be there.

That makes 17 September a redirection rather than a cutoff. Everything else opening that day is genuinely limited; Drake isn't.

Sin outlives the event

Sin: Swift Bunny arrives 24 September — a week into the event — and her Special Recruit runs to 15 October.

The event itself ends 8 October. So her banner continues for a full week after the Event Shop closes and the stages disappear.

Two things follow:

Don't rush your Gems into the first week. Guilty opens on the 17th and Sin is seven days behind her. Spending everything on day one is how Commanders reach the 24th with nothing.

But do finish the event content before 8 October, even if you're still pulling on Sin afterwards. The stages, Shop and map exploration all close on the 8th regardless of what her banner is doing.

What Sin actually is: a Water Code Attacker from Missilis Industry, armed with the Blink Carrot sniper rifle. Her kit enhances her own offensive output, and her Burst Skill damages multiple enemies.

Guilty and Sin have never been pullable

This is the reason the banners matter beyond their kits.

Guilty and Sin are existing members of the Real Kindness squad, added in January 2023 through the Liberation system — obtained by completing missions and accumulating points rather than through Recruitment.

Their original units have never been available in the gacha.

So these bunny alters are the first time anyone can pull a version of either character. For Commanders who joined after the Liberation windows closed, this isn't an alternate outfit — it's the only route to owning them at all.

The event itself

COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN is a fully voiced story event built around the inaugural Big Three Manufacturers' Expo. The Commander joins a battle royale alongside the trouble-plagued Plan C Squad and gets pulled into a conspiracy.

What's in it:

• STORY I and STORY II stages — clearing them awards Advanced Recruit Vouchers and development materials.
• A Challenge Stage with difficult boss encounters for further materials.
• A new story animation, viewable through STORY II Normal Stage.
• Map exploration — search the event map for Gems, development materials and Lost Relics.
• An Event Shop, closing 8 October at 04:59 (UTC+9).
• EXPO CHECK-IN login rewards.

Two mini-games run alongside it:

THREE COMPANY RUMBLE, and Entertainment Coin Catch — where you knock away Bunny Girl Nikkes swarming in from both sides, collect coins, and survive as long as possible.

Six costumes and six Nikkes return

The update also brings a large rerun wave, and it will compete for the same Gems.

Six limited costumes return to the Cash Shop:

• Alice – Sweet Home
• Mary – Medical Rabbit
• Viper – Toxic Rabbit
• Folkwang – Moist Rabbit
• Exia – Hacker Rabbit
• Bay – Radiant Rabbit

Six limited Nikkes appear in Limited Select Recruit:

• Rupee: Winter Shopper
• Anne: Miracle Fairy
• Ludmilla: Winter Owner
• Mica: Snow Buddy
• Maiden: Ice Rose
• Guillotine: Winter Slayer

Limited reruns are the trap in this update. Two new SSRs, a costume gacha, six costumes and six limited units all landing at once means a Commander who spends reactively will end up with a scattering of things rather than the one they actually wanted.

Decide your single priority before the 17th, then treat everything else as optional.

STAR ANIS enters the Archives

The 3.5th Anniversary story event STAR ANIS is being added to the Event Archives with this update.

There's a reason to read it now rather than later. Shift Up describes the T.T. STAR story as standing on its own while also serving as a prelude to the Third Surface Reclamation War — a storyline the game is moving toward.

Archived events don't expire, so there's no deadline. But reading it before the Reclamation War arrives is the difference between context and catch-up.

Also in the 17 September update

• Simulation Room — Overclock Mode (Season 10)
• Champion Arena (Beta Season 39)
• LET'S DRINK PASS
• New character packages

What isn't published

• Guilty and Sin's full skill kits and rates.
• Event Shop contents and pricing.
• The number of free Gems obtainable across the event.
• Whether the six Limited Select Recruit units return again after this window.

Check the in-game notice after maintenance for rates, Shop stock and the Mileage rules that apply to each banner.

What to do

Settle your priority before 17 September. Two new SSRs, six reruns and a costume gacha is more than most Gem balances survive.

Don't pull Drake on a deadline. She's entering the standard pool — the urgency is gone.

Hold Gems past the first week if you want Sin. She's seven days behind Guilty, and spending everything early is the common mistake here.

Clear the event stages and Shop before 8 October, regardless of what you're still pulling on.

Read STAR ANIS in the Archives before the Third Surface Reclamation War arrives.

Note 15 October separately. Sin's banner is the only thing in this update that outlives the event.

Building the roster behind the banners

Two new SSRs only perform on an account with the Overload gear, Harmony Cubes and Sync levels to support them — and in NIKKE that investment is the slow half, not the recruitment. Browse verified Goddess of Victory: NIKKE accounts if you'd rather enter the event with a developed roster and Gems already banked, keep campaign and material progress moving with NIKKE hourly services, or clear the harder raid and tower content through NIKKE boosting while the event runs.
