Starting June 1, 2026, the high fantasy RPG Valkyrie Connect (ValConne) has launched a series of 10th anniversary campaigns. The lineup includes a free popular vote gacha offering up to 180 character pulls, login bonuses featuring Asterism characters and 6,000 free diamonds, and a new gameplay mechanic called Rune Chain.
Popular Vote Free Gacha — Up to 180 Free Character Pulls
To mark the 10th anniversary, a special Popular Vote Free Gacha has been launched where players can obtain up to 180 characters for free. Daily login rewards provide "Free Gacha Tickets" which can then be used to pull from the gacha. Characters range from Lucky Characters to Arcana Characters, and every 50 pulls guarantees a selected character from the popular vote rankings — including Liebel (Wanderer of the Dream Realm) and Diera (Magic Sword Princess of the Heroes).
The lineup spans multiple popular series including Arcana, Dimension, Asterism, and Izabel.
Free Gacha Ticket Acquisition Period: Through June 19, 2026 at 3:00 PM (JST)
Free Asterism Characters and 6,000 Diamonds via Login Bonus
Players logging in during the event period will receive "Asterism Character Exchange Coins" through the login bonus, giving them the chance to obtain up to two selected Asterism characters. "Primordial Star Exchange Coins" for strengthening those Asterism characters are also available for free.
Event Period: June 6, 2026 (Saturday) 3:00 PM to June 19, 2026 (Friday) 3:00 PM (JST)
Players who log in starting June 1 will also receive 6,000 free diamonds. This offer is available for a limited time.
New Feature: Rune Chain
A new mechanic called Rune Chain has been introduced. When a character with a Rune Chain triggers their Action Skill, it automatically activates the Action Skills of designated characters (by race or attribute), even if their skill gauge has not yet filled. Automatically triggered skills deal enhanced damage and healing compared to normal, with effects growing stronger the longer the chain continues.
Note: Values for support effects, status ailments, skill gauge adjustments, and buffs/debuffs are not affected. Chain targets vary by character and can be confirmed in each character's Action Skill screen.
Rune Chain is available on new characters Hel (Glorious Queen) and Erishiru (Goddess Tree of Love), as well as on existing characters including Finis (Far-off Heretic), Diera (Magic Sword Princess of the Heroes), and Iokulus (Shifting Observer). All characters across the Arcana, Asterism, Dimension, Apocalypse, Izabel, and Altersaga series also carry Rune Chain.
Erishiru (Goddess Tree of Love) Available via Login Bonus
Erishiru (Goddess Tree of Love) — the grand prize winner of the character design contest announced at the 9th anniversary special livestream — makes her in-game debut. She is obtainable from the first day of the anniversary login bonus starting June 1. Erishiru also possesses the new Rune Chain ability.
Event Period: Through June 19, 2026 at 3:00 PM (JST)
Anniversary Fes: New Character Hel (Glorious Queen)
The Anniversary Fes banner introduces Hel (Glorious Queen), a new character with the Rune Chain Ability effect. This ability triggers a special skill when a Rune Chain of two or more is achieved. Hel's character illustration features a special 10th anniversary design showing both Hel and Skuld together.
To celebrate the milestone, the first 10 steps (STEP10) guarantees one copy of Hel. The banner also includes Arcana, Dimension, Asterism, and other premium characters.
Event Period: Through June 19, 2026 at 3:00 PM (JST)
Note: "Skuld" shown in Hel's illustration is not a playable character.
10th Anniversary Ultra Fes
A special Ultra Fes gacha is running during the anniversary period. STEP10 guarantees one selected character — including seasonal limited characters — for a total of 1,000 diamonds across all steps. Specific races are highlighted during each sub-period.
10th Anniversary Ultra Fes (Beastman / Elf / Phantom Spirit) Period: Through June 6, 2026 (Saturday) at 3:00 PM (JST)
Note: Event periods vary by race.
