A wealth of new prizes and rewards will be available throughout the anniversary, making it an event that Arknights<\/i><\/a><\/strong> fans won't want to miss.

The final battle against the Sui and the fate of the entire Yan region hang in the balance of this deadly game of cat and mouse. This event finally unmasks the key players in this high-stakes conflict, resolving storylines that have been building up since the introduction of the first Sui sibling. I am incredibly excited to see the ultimate conclusion to the epic saga of the Sui Proxies.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Seventh Festival Limited Headhunting banner: Ashes to Ashes, Ages to Ages<\/h2>\n

Every day, the player can perform one Moon Night Homecoming Headhunting Permit for free at the Festival Limited Headhunting banner,\u00a0accumulating over 20 pulls<\/strong>\u00a0by merely logging in. These free pulls do not transfer over to the next day, so they must be used before the daily reset. The Seventh Festival Limited Headhunting banner also removes Ling from the secondary rate-up Festival Limited Operators.<\/p>\n
