Recommended: Kikoru and Iharu

The recommended Gacha banners right now are the Pick Up banners for Iharu Furuhashi (Flash-Fierce Talent) and Kikoru Shinomiya (The Valkyrie's Successor). Both feature top-tier stats and Kikoru is a highly valuable limited character, making them well worth pulling for!

Pickup Gacha Recommendations

Character with Multi-Hit Additional DMG

Shot/Lightning Attribute Attacker

Iharu is a Blast Attacker with Shot/Lightning Attributes. His Combat Skill, Ultimate, and Overflow attack allow him to perform dual-Attribute Blast Attacks, making it easier to reduce enemy PLT.

High-Frequency/Multi-Hit Additional DMG

Iharu deals high-frequency/multi-hit Additional DMG. He applies Additional DMG 10 times with his Ultimate, 5 times with his Combat Skill, and 15 times with his Overflow attack.

Pair with Additional DMG Allies

Iharu can grant himself "Menace," which increases his Additional DMG Multiplier after an ally deals Additional DMG, making him a character who benefits from being paired with allies that deal Additional DMG.

Overflow Attack & Additional DMG on Blitz

At the start of battle, a fixed-SPD Blitz Turn appears, and when it arrives, Iharu can activate an Overflow attack with dual-Attribute Blast Attack & Additional DMG.

After the Overflow attack, all Menace stacks are consumed, so it is ideal to pair him with Additional DMG allies to build up Menace more easily. However, the Selfless Flow granted by his Ultimate does not consume Menace.

First Character with Enhanced Ultimate & Extra Attack

Extra Attack & 2-Attribute Attacker

Kikoru is a 2-Attribute (Slash/Wind) Attacker who can use Blast Attacks of both Attributes with her Combat Skill and Ultimate, making it easier to reduce enemy PLT. She is also the first character to have both an Extra Attack and an Enhanced Ultimate.

Has an Enhanced Ultimate

Kikoru can activate her Enhanced Ultimate when Momentum reaches its maximum stacks. She gains 4 stacks when her own Ultimate is activated, 1 stack when an ally's Extra Attack is activated, and 2 stacks at the start of battle, for a maximum of 10 stacks.

Build a team with characters who have Extra Attacks to efficiently stack Momentum.

Extra Attack Activated at 2 or More Devotion Stacks

Kikoru can activate an Extra Attack using her Combat Skill or Ultimate when Devotion has 2 or more stacks.

Devotion also increases the damage Multiplier of her Extra Attacks. She gains 1 stack during her own turn, 2 stacks before activating her Ultimate, and an additional 2 stacks before activating her Enhanced Ultimate, up to a maximum of 6 stacks.

Excels in DoT Compositions

Akari Minase (Festive Christmas) is an Attacker who can inflict Burn, increase the DoT DMG Multiplier, and trigger DoT during ally turns.

While her priority is not particularly high at the moment, she is an Attacker who excels in DoT compositions and is a rare limited character, making her a valuable pick if you're building a DoT team.

Can Trigger DoT on Ally Turns

Akari can put Kaiju into a Flare-Up state, and when a Kaiju is in the Flare-Up state and has status ailments applied, allies attacking it can deal a portion of the DoT damage caused by the status ailments.

Being able to trigger DoT, which normally only occurs during enemy turns, during ally turns as well is highly valuable, making her a strong option for DoT compositions.

Can Inflict Burn

Akari can inflict "Burn" through her Ultimate and Passive Skill effects, dealing DoT based on Akari's ATK after each turn.

Increases DoT DMG Multiplier with Combat Skill

When Akari uses her Combat Skill, she grants herself an increased DoT DMG Multiplier. This allows her to increase the damage dealt by Burn DoT.

Defender Who Protects Allies with Taunt

Sagan is a Defender with two Attributes: Blunt and Fire. She can protect allies with Taunt and increased durability, while also countering enemies and supporting allies' damage.

Her current acquisition priority is on the lower side, but since she is a rare limited character, players who have been waiting for her should consider pulling during the event period.

Protects Allies with Taunt & Self Durability Boost

Sagan excels at increasing her own durability and protecting allies with Taunt. While limited to once per battle, she can also resurrect once upon being incapacitated, allowing her to stay on the field and continue protecting her allies as a Defender.

Can Inflict Burn & Counter Attack

Sagan can perform counter attacks through her Passive Skill, with a chance to inflict Burn. She also gains an Inner Flame buff that enhances her own damage when hit. Her Taunt makes it easier to trigger her counter attacks.

Can Also Provide Damage Support

Her Ultimate grants an ATK buff to all allies, and at A1, she can also grant allies a CRIT DMG buff, providing additional damage support.

Great Synergy with Extra Attack Characters

Akari Minase (Synchro Aptitude) is a Defender with Slash and Shot Attributes. In addition to Recovery, she can also support allies' damage through her own Extra Attack and Extra Attack enhancements.

She is also a rare limited character, so if you're looking for a healer who synergizes well with Extra Attack characters, she is worth considering.

Slash/Shot Attribute & Multi-Attack Defender

During Riatla's turn, summoned by Akari during battle, she can use a Slash Blast Attack as an Overflow Attack, while her Ultimate enables a Shot AoE Attack. This allows her to reduce PLT to both Slash and Shot Attributes.

Can Recover HP for Multiple Allies

Akari's Combat Skill allows her to recover HP for up to 3 allies, and if a targeted ally's remaining HP is 50% or below, that ally recovers HP upon attacking, allowing her to support multiple allies at once.

Additionally, her Additional Passive Skill allows her to remove one debuff from a target after using her Combat Skill.

Can Enhance and Trigger Extra Attacks

After an ally attacks, she grants herself "Patrol," and when 8 stacks are accumulated, she triggers a Blast Attack Extra Attack. Before the Extra Attack, she can also increase the CRIT DMG of all allies' Follow-Up Skills / Extra Attacks / Overflow Attacks.

Overall, she is a Defender with excellent synergy with Extra Attack characters.

Standard Gacha Recommendation

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.

5-Star Characters in Standard Banner

Permanent 5-Star Characters

Gacha Rates and Pity System

Pickup drop rate is 1%

The total drop rate for the highest rarity is 8%, with characters at 3% and weapons at 5%. The pickup drop rates are 1.0% for both characters and for weapons.

10 Pulls Guarantee 4-Star or Higher Character

A 10-pull Gacha guarantees at least one 4-star or higher character.

250 Pity for Characters, 150 for Weapons

In Kaiju No. 8, you get medals every time you pull from the Gacha. You can exchange 150 medals for a weapon and 250 medals for a character, which effectively serves as the pity system.

Recommend Purchasing from the WEB Shop!

If you want to get Dimensional Crystals (Gacha currency), we recommend buying them from the WEB Shop. You get more Dimensional Crystals for the same price compared to in-game purchases, and they also offer special deals not available in the game, allowing you to get Dimensional Crystals at a better value.
