Soichiro and Akari Are Recommended
The recommended Gacha for Kaiju No. 8 is the Soichiro Hoshina and Akari Minase (Synchro Aptitude) Pickup. Akari stands out as an excellent Defender and a rare limited character, while Soichiro Hoshina is a powerful Support who greatly boosts allies' damage output, so you'll want to aim for them.
Pickup Gacha Recommendations
DMG Support and Has a High-Multiplier Ultimate
| Gacha Name | Soichiro Hoshina Pickup Gacha |
| Event Period | Until Jun 10, 2026 2:59 (UTC) |
| Recommendation | ★★★★★ |
| Pickup Character | Soichiro Hoshina (Keystone of Western Japan) |
Soichiro Hoshina (Keystone of Western Japan) is a Support with 2 Attributes, Slash/Shot, and Blast Attack capabilities. He can significantly increase allies' damage output through buffs and debuffs while also dealing high damage himself, thanks to his high-Multiplier Ultimate and self damage buffs. He can also advance his own Action Order and trigger Follow-Ups through allies' Follow-Ups, making him one of the strongest support options currently available.
Slash/Shot Attribute Support With Blast Attacks
Soichiro Hoshina is a 5★ Slash & Shot Attribute Support who can perform Blast Attacks with both Attributes through his Enhanced Normal Attack while under Mind's Eye.
Mind's Eye Enhances Skills and Damage
While under Mind's Eye, granted through his Combat Skill, enemies receive DEF reduction after being attacked, and when attacking Kaiju during PLT breaks or Core Exposed states, Soichiro gains CRIT Rate & CRIT DMG UP buffs while also triggering his Enhanced Normal Attack.
Allied Follow-Ups Trigger His Own Follow-Up
Through his Passive Skill, Soichiro's Follow-Up activates whenever another ally triggers a Follow-Up Skill, although partners will not gain Ultimate Gauge from these additional Follow-Ups. Additionally, his Follow-Up attacks can inflict SPD reduction and DMG Taken Increase debuffs on enemies.
Provides Partywide Damage Buffs Through PLT Breaks
After an ally destroys a PLT, Soichiro grants the entire party a stacking DMG dealt buff of up to 10 stacks. Combined with his DEF reduction and DMG Taken Increase debuffs, he greatly amplifies overall team damage output. Additionally, whenever an ally other than himself destroys a PLT, he can advance his next Action Order by 30%.
High-Multiplier Ultimate and Strong Self Buffs
Soichiro possesses a high-Multiplier Ultimate that becomes even stronger when attacking Kaiju during Core Exposed states. He can further boost his own damage through CRIT Rate UP effects for Ultimates and Follow-Ups, increased Follow-Up DMG Multipliers after triggering Follow-Ups, CRIT DMG scaling based on Effect Hit Rate, and the CRIT buffs gained from Mind's Eye.
Soichiro Hoshina (5-Star) GuideHas Recovery and Follow-Up Attacks
| Gacha Name | Akari Minase (Synchro Aptitude) Pickup |
| Event Period | Until Jun 1, 2026 (UTC) |
| Recommendation | ★★★★★ |
| Pickup Character | Akari Minase (Synchro Aptitude) |
Akari Minase (Synchro Aptitude) is a Slash/Shot Defender. In addition to Recovery, she can support allies with Follow-Up/Extra Attacks/Overflow Attack CRIT DMG UP and more. She is also capable of performing Extra Attacks and Overflow Attacks that can reduce PLTs. She is an outstanding Defender and a valuable limited character, so you'll want to prioritize pulling her.
Defender with Slash/Shot Attributes & Multi-Target Attacks
Akari is a 5★ Slash/Shot Defender. On Riatla's turn, which Akari summons during battle, she can perform a Slash Attribute Blast Attack as an Overflow Attack, and her Ultimate enables a Shot Attribute AoE Attack.
Capable of Recovering HP for Multiple Allies
Through her Combat Skill, Akari can recover HP for a single ally and adjacent allies, and when the attacker under [Surveillance] has 50% or less HP remaining, she can recover HP equal to 10% of the attacker's max HP, enabling durability support for multiple allies. Additionally, via her Additional Passive Skill effect, she can also remove 1 debuff from the target after activating her Combat Skill.
Overflow Attack Capable of Destroying Resistance
Akari summons Riatla at the start of battle, and on Riatla's turn, she performs an Overflow Attack. The Overflow Attack is a Slash Attribute Blast Attack capable of destroying Resistance.
| Tip! | Additionally, she can set the Critical Hit Rate of Extra Attacks & Overflow Attacks to 100%, and if Akari's max HP is 6,300 or more, she can also increase her own Overflow Attack's DMG Multiplier by +150%. |
Can Enhance and Trigger Extra Attacks
At the start of battle, all allies are placed under [Surveillance]. When an ally under Surveillance attacks, if Akari is not incapacitated, she grants herself [Patrol], and upon accumulating 8 stacks, all stacks are consumed, and a Blast Attack Extra Attack is triggered. Additionally, before the Extra Attack, she can also increase the CRIT DMG of all allies' Follow-Up Skills, Extra Attacks, and Overflow Attacks.
| Tip! | After Akari's Ultimate, she can grant 2 Patrol stacks. While the Extra Attack activation consumes all Patrol stacks, the Surveillance effect grants 1 Patrol stack after each attack. |
Attacker with DEF Reduction
| Gacha Name | Kikoru (The Inherited Will) Pickup |
| Event Period | Until May 31, 11:59 (PST) |
| Recommendation | ★★★・・ |
| Pickup Character | Kikoru Shinomiya (The Inherited Will) |
Kikoru Shinomiya (The Inherited Will) is an Attacker with a Blunt Blast Attack. She has a fast Ultimate rotation and skills that reduce enemy DEF and SPD. By inflicting DEF reduction on enemies, she can contribute to the team's overall damage output.
Reduce Enemy DEF to Boost Team Damage
Kikoru can reduce enemy DEF through her Ultimate's Blast Attack, as well as through Normal Attacks and Combat Skills while in the Inheritance state gained after her Ultimate. Her ability to reduce enemy DEF, thereby contributing to the entire team's damage output, is an outstanding strength.
Slow Down Enemies by Reducing SPD
Her Combat Skill's Blast Attack can reduce enemy SPD, allowing her to slow down enemy actions while continuing to fight.
Self-Buffs Make It Easy to Use Her Ultimate
Kikoru can increase her Ultimate Gauge through her own buffs. Her Ultimate rotation rate is high, and with the Additional Passive Skill unlocked, she can use her Ultimate from the very start of battle, allowing her to fight with enemy DEF already reduced.

The Standard Gacha is Not Recommended
Since permanent characters can also be obtained from Limited Gachas, it is generally recommended to use your Dimensional Crystals on Pickup Gachas.
Okay to Use THE GAME Gacha Tickets
THE GAME Gacha Tickets can only be used on THE GAME Gacha. While new permanent characters may be added in the future, it's fine to use them right away to enhance your party.
