2025 Banner Highlights

Limited Banner in July

Many players get excited for the July limited banner. This year, the Arknights Upcoming Banners are a little different. Nearl the Radiant Knight is the main limited operator in July 2025. Flametail is also on the banner, but she is not limited. Past banners usually had only one top 6-star operator. This time, there are two featured operators.

Here’s a simple table to show what changed:

Nearl the Radiant Knight is not as strong in the meta as Chen or Skadi. You can save your resources if you want to wait for a better operator. Still, Nearl has cool skills and many players like her style.

Tip: If you want Nearl and Flametail, this banner is a good chance. Plan your pulls so you do not miss out!

October Banner Gap

October has a rare break in the Arknights Upcoming Banners. There is no standard banner before October 24, 2025. This break lets you save Orundum and headhunting permits. You can farm, upgrade your base, or catch up on events during this time.

Check Out New Arrivals

Players use this gap to recover from big pulls in July. Some get ready for special banners later in the year. You have time to plan and relax without rushing.

Note: Watch for official news on platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Sometimes, surprise banners or events show up during these breaks!

To sum up, the July limited banner and the October gap are big changes in the Arknights Upcoming Banners for 2025. These highlights help you plan your pulls and save resources for the rest of the year.

Arknights Upcoming Banners: July–December

You might wonder what banners are coming for the rest of 2025. Here is a simple look at the Arknights Upcoming Banners from July to December. This guide helps you plan your pulls and save your resources for the best operators.

Here is a table that shows the main banners and featured operators for each month:

Let’s look at each month so you know what is coming.

July Limited Banner

July starts with a special banner. You can get Yu, a six-star Defender, and Blaze the Igniting Spark, a six-star Caster. Both operators add something new to your team. Yu is great at defense and has special skills. Blaze the Igniting Spark does strong arts damage.

Tip: Limited banners are rare. If you want Yu or Blaze, save your Orundum and headhunting permits now!

August Banners

August brings a new operator banner. The main operator is Entelechia, a six-star Guard. She can hit many enemies at once and heal herself. Her skills let her steal HP and summon candles for more damage. If you like operators who fight groups and heal themselves, you might enjoy her.

Entelechia is like other Guards, so think about your team before you pull. Her HP skills can be hard to use, but she is good if you play smart.

September Banners

September brings another new operator banner. Necrass, a six-star Shaper Caster, is the main operator. He gives your team new arts damage choices.

In September 2025, Izutsumi (5★ Specialist) will also appear, with special stages from the 'Delicious in Dungeon' event.

You can try new event stages and get Izutsumi if you like Specialists. This month is good for players who want to try new team ideas.

October Patch and Banner

October starts with no new banners for a while. You will not see a new banner until October 24, 2025. This break lets you save up after earlier pulls and get more resources.

When the new banner comes, Monst3r, a six-star Chain Medic, joins the game. Monst3r can heal many allies at once and is different from other Medics. If you need more healing, watch for this banner.

Note: The break before October 24 does not happen often. Use this time to farm, upgrade your base, or finish events.

November Banners

November brings another limited operator banner. This time, you can get Exusiai The New Covenant, a Specialist, and Lemuen, a Sniper. Both are six-star operators. Exusiai has new skills and plays differently than before. Lemuen is strong at ranged attacks.

If you missed the July limited banner, November gives you another chance for top operators. Limited banners often have better rates for featured operators, so your chances are higher.

December Banners

December ends the year with a new operator banner. Tragodia, a six-star Spiritualist Supporter, is the main operator. She has special support skills and can help your team in hard fights. If you like Supporters or want to try new ways to play, this banner is for you.

December banners often have special events or story content. Check the in-game news for extra rewards!

Planning Tips

Resource Management

You want to make the most of your resources in Arknights. Saving Orundum, headhunting permits, and materials can help you get your favorite operators. Sometimes, banners change without warning. You need to stay flexible and adjust your plans.

Here are some smart ways to manage your resources:

• Try new strategies if your old plan does not work.

• Treat every failed pull as a lesson. Learn and improve next time.

• If you start with bad luck, it is okay to stop and try again later.

• Always think ahead before you spend. You do not want to weaken your squad.

• Only spend when you know you will have enough left for the next big banner.

• Focus on clearing operations. This gives you more resources for recruiting and promotions.

Tip: Planning ahead helps you avoid running out of Orundum when a limited banner drops. Keep an eye on the in-game news for sudden changes.

Pull Strategy

Pulling for operators can feel exciting and stressful. You want to know your chances before you spend your hard-earned resources. Limited banners have special drop rates. Here is a quick look at the odds for some banners from the team at Bahomu:

You see that ★6 operators are rare. Even when you pull a ★6, you only have a 50% chance to get the featured one. You need to save a lot if you want a limited operator.

• Set a goal for which operator you want.

• Count your Orundum and permits before each banner.

• Skip banners that do not have your favorite operators.

• Use the October gap to save even more.

Remember: Pulling is a game of luck. Stay patient, and do not spend everything at once. Your favorite operator might be just around the corner!
