New Shipgirls and Construction
This exciting event marks the debut of six new shipgirls from the Sakura Empire. Commanders can take on event stages to gather PT to unlock diverse rewards—with the Elite shipgirl Taekaze being a standout milestone reward. Furthermore, PT can be exchanged for a range of valuable items, with one of the two newly introduced Super Rare shipgirls, Asama, among the exchange options.
Of particular note, this event introduces two new Ultra Rare shipgirls: Hakuhou and I-404. Among them, I-404 can be redeemed by accumulating special PT. Meanwhile, Hakuhou, along with the remaining new Super Rare shipgirl Oumi and the new Elite shipgirl Minase, enjoys a rate-up in the Limited Construction Pool.
Beyond these exciting additions, the event also includes a retrofit for Shiratsuyu, elevating her rarity from Rare to Elite.
New Arrivals in the Event Shop
During this event, over 20 new skins will be launched in total—especially the eight new skins from the Ninja Castle series, released in the first week of the event, which are sure to catch the attention of all Commanders. These include one L2D+ skin, “Floral Ninja Roleplay” for Hakuhou, two L2D skins for Oumi and Asama, and two Dynamic skins for I-404 and Morrison. What’s more noteworthy is another new skin: “Stringed Interrogation” for Sovetsky Soyuz, a rare Dual-Form skin that maximizes the charm of the shipgirl. During the event, Commanders can rent new skins for Hakuhou, Oumi and Sovetsky Soyuz using outfit vouchers, which can be earned easily just by logging in throughout the event period.
Additionally, eight previously released skins are making a limited-time return, covering the Dreamland Park, Home Relaxation, and Party Dress series. Among them are two L2D skins: “Throne of Fallen Petals” for Amagi (CV) and “Garments of Everlasting Magic” for Watarase. Furthermore, another eight skins from the Swimsuits and Party Dress series have been added to the permanent lineup. Commanders who missed these skins before now have another opportunity to obtain them.
