4) Invitation from Water
Invitation from Water is a special banner, which will be available in the Reverse 1999 version 2.1 update from December 28, 2024, to January 11, 2025. Timekeepers can summon up to 40 times on this banner, after which it ends. The banner also gives a unique in-game item, The Golden Thread. Obtaining it also ends the banner.
Timekeepers are guaranteed to obtain one type of The Golden Thread, I or II, at the 40th summon. Both types consist of a certain number of 6-star characters and players can select one of their choice from the thread.
The Golden Thread I offers Lilya, Voyager, Tooth Fairy, 37, Ezra, Ms. NewBabel, Eternity, Pickles, Kaalaa Baunaa, and A Knight. On the other hand, The Golden Thread II offers Centurion, Medicine Pocket, Melania, Shamane, Spathodea, Druvis III, An-an Lee, Sotheby, Jessica, and 6.
Players can obtain only one The Golden Thread by summoning on the banner. They can perform single summons (Summon ✕ 1) when fewer than 10 summons are left to reach 40.
Note that The Golden Thread expires simultaneously with the event. So, Timekeepers must select their desired 6-star before January 11, 2025.
