Akane Rin is listed for Phase 2, October 21 to November 11 (UTC+8). Server time affects the exact local start and end hours, so check the in-game notice before planning a pull.
Current NTE banners
NTEbuild’s banner tracker, updated September 29, 2026, lists Blackbird and Lacrimosa for Version 1.4 Phase 1, running September 30–October 21, 2026 (UTC+8). It identifies Blackbird as an S-rank Psyche main DPS. NTEbuild is an unofficial community resource; it attributes the schedule to the official Version 1.4 Event Calendar, but the exact cutoff should still be checked in-game. View the NTEbuild banner schedule.
Next NTE banner
Version 1.4 Phase 2 lists Akane Rin from October 21 to November 11, 2026 (UTC+8). NTEbuild identifies her as an S-rank Lakshana main DPS. These are scheduled dates, not a guarantee of the exact hour on every server.
Banner schedule
| Banner phase | Featured characters | Listed dates |
|---|---|---|
| Version 1.4 Phase 1 | Blackbird and Lacrimosa | September 30–October 21, 2026 (UTC+8) |
| Version 1.4 Phase 2 | Akane Rin | October 21–November 11, 2026 (UTC+8) |
The tracker also lists Linko and Hotori for September 9–30, 2026, preceded by Zankou and Nanally for August 19–September 9. These earlier dates provide recent schedule context; they do not indicate that those banners remain available.
How to check the exact banner time for your server
The published ranges use UTC+8, but banner start and end times can fall at different local clock times by server. Prydwen says its countdown uses EU server time, so its displayed countdown may not match the America or Asia server cutoff. Check Prydwen’s banner and gacha guide, or use the in-game notice for your server’s definitive timing.
- Open the in-game event or banner notice for the featured character.
- Confirm the server-specific start and end time shown there; do not rely on a date conversion alone.
- If using an online countdown, check which server it follows and select yours if the tracker offers that option.
What carries over between banners?
Prydwen’s guide says the guaranteed limited S-Class counter carries over between limited character banners. It describes Arc-banner pity separately, and the permanent standard banner as having its own pool and pity. Because this is a third-party summary of the rules, check the current in-game banner details before spending or deciding how much currency to save.
Choosing whether to pull
The schedule shows who is featured and when; it does not establish that any character is objectively worth pulling. Make the decision against your own account and preferences:
