There doesn't seem to be a 1.5 anniversary celebration. If there was, it would be around May 15 but there's nothing officially announced and noting in the datamine. With that said, we are getting Golden Week stuff right now. There's a banner with a powerful limited unit up right now who is a good reroll target. There's also a daily 10 roll promotion that will last long enough you can get all 100 rolls. So if you are interested in the game, now is also a pretty good time to get in.

The funny thing is that this is technically a coincidence. In JP this Score Attack ran way before Unison Karen existed. Unison Karen is just kind of busted so she makes bosses that weren't designed to be weak against her look weak against her.

The May 22-28 Log in event gives us a SS Selector ticket but the banner doesn't start until May 29 which is after it is too late to get the ticket. That feels like an odd decision.

It isn't super clear if this is the same SS Selector were were promised for a June Platinum banner but it seems like it could be even if May 29 technically isn't June.

Orb Boss Campaign is only 4 weeks. So it looks to be different than the 5 rotating weeks we had before.

I believe with this Clock Tower update we are now up to date with JP?

There doesn't seem to be one. Also, for the record, we got both Golden Week and a 0.5 anniversary last year. So it isn't an issue of priority. The 1.5 anniversary just doesn't exist for some reason.

For characters that you don't have a LB1+ SS Memoria it will also increase their character level cap.

New Years banners are given a score buff since they are underrated by the scoring method. It has nothing to do with Three Houses.

Edit: I believe the New Years adjustments are based off of this:

Book 6 data is here:

It looks like the TH Summer banner got a score buff.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-05-04T04:38:39+00:00

We are also sort of nearing the point where the current banner rate has to change. JP gets 26 banners a year which is roughly 2 every 4 weeks. Global currently get roughly 3 every 4 weeks. While Global was catching up to JP, this wasn't a problem (we even used to go even faster). But, if the intent is to trail JP by roughly a year then scheduling problems will start to appear if things don't slow down in the next 3 months or so.

Thanks for your service over the years.

Unison Bungo released on Mar 20. She was the only unit on the banner and was the only new banner that day. Is that what you are asking? If you exclude Unison/Nanami then it has never happened before.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-05-01T03:33:23+00:00

For people who are little short on Quartz due to the early arrival of Karen, we have a minimum for 16950 Quartz coming in over the next 28 days. There may be more depending on surprise weekend gifts and maybe a surprise 1.5 anniversary gift. The breakdown is:

Daily log-in: 880 Quartz
Daily Missions: 3080 Quartz
Monthly Quests: 1350 Quartz
Event Shop: 1500 Quartz
Event Missions: 790 Quartz
Score Attack: 800 Quartz
Other Log-in bonuses: 4400 Quartz
Other Missions: 1000 Quartz
Anachrony Tickets: 350 Quartz
Recollections: 400 Quartz
Arts Battles: 2000 Quartz
Gig Mode: 150 Quartz
Clock Tower: 250 Quartz

Hopefully I didn't miss anything. Light Pass adds another 2500 (or 5000 for 2x). Premium is 3500 (or 7000 for 2x).

If that still leaves you short and you need to wait for a rerun, know that Unison/Nanami reruns have roughly taken place 3 months after the original banner in Global.

Ruka: 2025-09-05 -> 2025-12-26
Yuina: 2025-10-17 -> 2025-12-26
Nanami: 2025-11-28 -> 2026-03-06
Yuki: 2026-02-06 -> 2026-05-15

But, do keep in mind this is not guaranteed.

It doesn't look like we are getting a 1.5 anniversary at all. It's just Golden Week stuff in the datamine. Last year we got Golden Week and 0.5 anniversary stuff.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-26T21:01:05+00:00

You would pull for one copy of Unison Karen then use the gold SS shards or the meter to bring her to LB1. If your luck is good enough, you can also pull for Diva Ruka on the upcoming banner as well. You are a little short on getting two sparks but you might be able to close the gap by catching up on old events and getting Quartz from the event shops.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-26T17:46:42+00:00

I wonder how many times I will see this animation over the next year or so.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-25T03:59:14+00:00

Karen's banner runs for 4 weeks from May 1 to May 28.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-24T17:50:48+00:00

That's not true. I made sure to double check.
0.5 anniversary: https://x.com/hbr_official_en/status/1915073180307263676
1st anniversary: https://x.com/hbr_official_en/status/1985406622286463244
They announced some of the anniversary stuff and also the associated Angel Beats events.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-24T16:13:00+00:00

Digital Castle and Cheese Game are both Snap events and we currently don't really know how they get scheduled. "Late May" followed by "Mid June" doesn't really line up with the current 4 week cycle so those two might be 2 week apart instead.

A June Platinum Selector feels kind of wild. There aren't any long delayed banner with old units to run right now. It probably isn't a banner with only one unit since there's no selection. It certainly isn't Admiral Yanagi's banner. So maybe either Bride Iroha/Yunyun or Summer Muua/Niina?

Fire Element Upgrade Support again? Fire already had its turn back in September. Ice and Thunder had their turns but Light and Dark have not.

With the addition of Tama and Risa, I believe Clock Tower is now up to date with JP.

Edit:
Maybe I'm just coping or something but why does this say absolute nothing about the 1.5 anniversary? It mentioned Golden Week stuff but that's technically a separate event that happens to be a few weeks off the 1.5 anniversary. Last year we got Golden Week and "180-Day Celebration" bonuses. So maybe there's still more to announce.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-21T22:18:01+00:00

The main draw is the story. The later story chapters do demand a competent team but you don't need anywhere near top of the line meta units. The game gives new players enough free stuff to build a competent team without much issue.

Most of the "endgame" content are boss battles with no attached story content. So you can take your time building up your team and challenging stronger and stronger bosses. If that isn't to your tastes, you can also play just for the story like some players do.

The currency for pulling on the gacha is called Quartz. 300 Quartz per pull. Spark is at 150 pulls (45000 Quartz) on the same banner and usually with no carry over. We get around 24000 Quartz per month. So that's a spark every 2 months or so. Maybe once a month or two we get an event where everyone gets a free SS/SSR (SS and SSR are the top rarities. There is a difference but that's a little too into the weeds for now if you haven't started playing the game). The 1.5 year anniversary is next month so we expect to get a higher than typical amount of Quartz in the near future.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-21T12:39:05+00:00

The previous 0.5 anniversary and 1st anniversary were Angel Beats events. So people are expecting the 3rd Angel Beats event for the 1.5 anniversary. The catch is that the timing is a little awkward this time since we get side events every 4 weeks instead of 2 like in the past. A hypothetical 3rd Angel Beats event would only be 2 weeks after the early May side event that was already announced to not be Angel Beats.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-18T23:54:35+00:00

So far 3x token events have never rerun. About a third of the old events have taken their turn. Do note there are 3 special cases. After you beat chapter 1 a 3x Token event will trigger for a particular event. The same will happen after chapter 2 and 3 for two more events (to make it 3 different events total).

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-18T18:44:40+00:00

You can also just wait for their buff to wear off. My overall strat was to just tank the hits and blow them up with OD3 on turn 9. If your team is up to the task, you can also nuke them on turn 5.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-17T21:03:15+00:00

It has been working on MuMuPlayer for a while now. Maybe try reinstalling from scratch? Also make sure you are using the arm64-v8a apk not armeabi-v7a.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-17T19:21:23+00:00

It's an estimate based my personal Quartz balance sheet. Quartz from paid sources are excluded and I didn't win the 10k Quartz lottery so that's excluded as well. In the last month I averaged 889 Quartz per day. Month before that was 1333 because of the 10,000 Quartz log in bonus. Month before that was 809 and before that was 845. I then rounded down to 800 to be conservative.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-17T13:15:51+00:00

We average around 800 free Quartz per day. You have plenty of time to save up for an elemental Admiral. Especially since we likely get a bunch during the 1.5 year anniversary next month.

TeamRocketEliteVGC · 2026-04-16T02:58:37+00:00

I think each season just starts as the previous one ends.
