NTE Banner Schedule: Current and Upcoming Limited Boards

All times below come from the official Version 1.3 patch notes and are given in UTC+8, the timezone Hotta Studio publishes in. Unlock requirement for every board listed here is the same: complete the main story quest “Prologue - A New Destination - Head to Eibon Antique Shop”.

Live now (Version 1.3)

Alluring Shadows — S-Class Zankou

  • Runs: August 19 (after the update) → September 9, 2026, 05:59
  • Featured: S-Class Zankou (debut), with A-Class Mint, Edgar and Adler on rate-up
  • Board extras: the “Scarlet Sash” glider livery, the “Sandy Mirage” Sirocco vehicle livery, and Zankou’s “Autumn Vignette” outfit
  • Perks event: Alluring Perks — claim the extras at 50 / 120 / 200 cumulative rolls, or land them randomly earlier

Zankou is the headline of the version: she also brings a Home Time invitation mode, Bond quests, a combat tutorial and a passenger-seat ride-along unlock. See the Zankou build guide.

The Ichi-daime — Nanally rerun

  • Runs: August 19 (after the update) → September 9, 2026, 05:59
  • Featured: returning limited S-Class Nanally, with the same A-Class trio (Mint, Edgar, Adler)
  • Board extras: the “Underboss-of-the-Underboss” glider livery, the “Tiger Incoming!” M1000 livery, and Nanally’s “Phoenix Kick” outfit
  • Perks event: Tiger Perks — same 50 / 120 / 200 structure

Only rolls made on The Ichi-daime count toward Tiger Perks. Each board tracks separately, but progress carries between boards that share a name — which is why a rerun is not a fresh start if you rolled the original. Her kit is covered in the Nanally build guide.

Arc Research Programs (Version 1.3)

Arcs run on a parallel system with their own keys:

ProgramLimited ArcKeysWindow

Tiger SpecialReady-Ready (S-Class, returning)Tri-Keys or Tiger KeysAug 19 → Sep 9, 05:59

Both Arcs are stated to be obtainable only through their research program. The Arcs guide explains what Arcs do and how to match one to a character.

Fading Reverie—1.1 cycleVersion 1.1

Boards arrive in two waves per version: the headline board with the version launch, then a second exclusive board about halfway through the cycle — Iroi’s The Lifeline opened on July 29, three weeks after Version 1.2 went live. Expect the same shape in 1.3.

Shinku’s rerun has not been announced. She was labelled an exclusive S-Class at debut, which is worth noting if you are deciding between saving and spending — see the Shinku build guide.

What happens after September 9

The two current boards end September 9, but most Version 1.3 events run to September 30, 2026, 05:59 — the Lucent Tides mystery box, Volley Star, Surf Breaker, Hunter’s Crucible, Shipwreck Salvage and the Circle Bounty season. On the 1.1 → 1.2 → 1.3 cadence (roughly six weeks), the next version lands around that date.

We do not list unannounced or datamined banners here. When Hotta Studio publishes the next preview program, this page and the version history get updated within 48 hours.
