Look, let's be honest, nothing screams spooky season quite like a fresh batch of gacha, and on October 8, Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is rolling out recruitment for the Halloween-themed SSR Nikke Vautour: Pumpkin Witch. Alongside this pint-sized witch comes the brand-new story event LITTLE WITCH TRICK starring Vautour, plus the Cinderella Special event handing out a limited costume for global popularity poll winner Cinderella.

LITTLE WITCH TRICK follows Vautour as the developer's favorite troublemaker gets ready to enjoy the Halloween festival. Naturally, things go sideways when suspicious rumors start spreading right in the middle of all the festive chaos. Clear event stages to rake in dedicated items for trading in recruitment tickets and Nikke growth materials. Plus, the DAILY TRICK 14-day cumulative login event tosses in advanced recruitment tickets and other extra goodies.

The new arrival, Vautour: Pumpkin Witch, is a Burst 2, Support-type, Water code, Rocket Launcher wielder. When the character unleashes a Burst skill, the squad's offensive capabilities get a solid boost. Vautour: Pumpkin Witch will be available for recruitment from October 8 to October 28, and after the banner wraps up, the character will eventually drop into standard recruitment, social point recruitment, and mold item pools.

As a reward for topping the sparkling NIKKE Global Popularity Poll IV, Cinderella's limited costume Glass Courtesy, a theme song, and five special profile frames are being handed out completely free just for logging in. This fancy attire packs full voice acting, a dedicated Burst skill cutscene, and unique SD animations. Alongside that, the mini story event MOST BEAUTIFUL MAID shows Cinderella learning the ropes of maid life, while the new side story GINGERBREAD HOUSE tackles the Old Tales squad heading out across distant seas to track down Hansel and Gretel.

Let's talk raids and major content schedules, mate. Union Raid runs from October 9 to October 15, followed by Solo Raid from October 15 to October 22. The boss of this Solo Raid is weak to Electric code, with full details dropping later. Weekend Co-op battles pit squads against Modernia from October 9 to October 11, and Nihilister from October 23 to October 25. Meanwhile, Champion Arena Beta Season 40 will be the final run before taking a brief hiatus to prep for the official season.

To wrap things up, the update brings fresh tracks to the TRACING THE STARS rhythm game, rolls out new album packages, and adds the past story event ABSOLUTE to the Archive. You can view all the nitty-gritty update details over at the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE Official Lounge. Best of luck with your pulls!
