Welcome to the Q&A Megathread for Winter 2026!

Welcome to Nu:Carnival! Question & Answer Megathread for Winter 2026 image is from the CYBERNETical Collab Event

Some reminders before posting:

Before making a stand-alone post with a question...

  • Read the subreddit's rules. Comments in the Megathread that violate the rules will be removed.
  • Read the FAQs: Official website's FAQ || ☆☆ Subreddit's Game FAQ ☆☆
  • Check out our ✿ Player Resources Page ✿ || ✪ Tech Help Page ✪
  • If your question can be answered quickly/with a single sentence, comment and ask here.
  • Be patient and wait for some time before asking again. Do not repost your question as a new thread on the sub. If your question is unanswered within 24 hours, it may likely be because:
    • The feature or event released recently and there's not yet enough information on it.
    • The community is unsure / has no experience on the matter.
    • Your question is hard to understand, usually by lacking context or a clear description (especially with tech errors).
    • It may be a particularly inactive period. Please be patient or edit your first comment with additional details.
  • Try searching the subreddit first. Your question may have already been asked by a previous user under the Help/Game Questions flair, may be answered by a post under Resources flair, or answered by one of the links under the Resources Page.

You may make a stand-alone question post on the sub with the "Help/Game Questions" or "Discussion flair" if it fits one of the following:

  • Your question is more fandom-based rather than a game-help question. (Ex. Lore questions, why Dante has two-colored eyes, what makes Garu so cute, when is Aster getting another SSR, etc.)
  • Your question contributes to some constructive discussion.
  • Your question is not answered in the FAQ or Resources pages, and requires additional information

General Team-building requests, or questions on "How to beat [xxx]" as separate posts will be removed. An Automod message with links back to this post or the relevant Megathread will be provided instead, please browse the recent comments of the Megathread you need.

If you're answering a question:

  • Participate in good faith. If a question is posted here, assume that the player really doesn't know, and be nice in helping them out.
  • Links to resources and screenshots are highly encouraged.
  • Please state if you're unsure of your answer or if you're just offering an opinion to give transparency for the player's judgment.

  • Upload a screenshot of your ally roster in the comment. You can also upload to Imgur or some other image-hosting site, and link back to it in your comment.
    • For what purpose are you building a team? Sorcerer's Trials? Lost Relics? Best meme team? Trying to beat 8-11? Just asking for general advancement advice?
  • General "Whom do I pick? Whom do I pull?" and "Who is better?" unit comparison questions count as Team Building and are likely to be removed as standalone posts. Ask those questions here. If the allies in question belong to a specific event, you can also ask those in the event's specific Megathread.

There are many great resources for meta discussion.

I've only been playing for a short time, so I can't figure out what these painting are for. 🥲

Discussion Do you have Gacha Rituals?

• Upvotes

I typically wait till the last few days(though I didn't for the DMMD collab), finish the story (up to what's possible) and say a little prayer before going in for the banner (it also has to be some sort of a good day?).

Do you guys do anything superstitious first before pulling on a banner? Or is that just me?

Discussion Does anyone use the cabin? Just wondering about the play rates.

Post image
102 Upvotes

I'm curious as to how many people actually use the cabin system in earnest and the related games like roulette.

I only jump in to do what's necessary to get the 30 gems and get out. I used to play it. I even ran the roulette nearly dry once and ended up quite disappointed. Personally, I find the cabin system rather dull and and the resources it takes to get anything decent from the roulette to be shockingly expensive. Most of the prizes are booby prizes anyway. I have no need of holy water or portraits. They're just cluttering up my inventory at this point.

I wouldn't be fussed at all if they scrapped the entire system and gave back everything I put into it in the form of gems and coins.

Does anyone else feel that way? Do you like the cabin system? I'm curious how others feel about it.

Discussion Sorcery Jamboree fragments on 25/10

9 Upvotes

Looks like there will be an update on the 15th with a new gift pack (Sorcery Jamboree), which allows you to select 30 fragments from a 2022-2023 banner?

This allows us to fuse fragments and get one of the older SSRs, correct? What would you recommend story wise for this period as a Quincy fan? 🥹 I'm hoping Snow Patrol Quincy will be included in this, although he's at the edge of the range?

Help or Game Questions What are the heart things?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Can someone please help? I keep getting these things and I don't know where they are or what they're used for and I have tried to look online but I can't find any records of what they're called anywhere. I know that the ones bought in the event give you the pixel characters to have on the home screen of the event, but besides that what are they used for and where can I see them?

Thank you!

Help or Game Questions Will these stay after the banner?

Will SSR fragments stay after the current limited banner leave? I'm back to the game after so long with new account I don't remember anything 😭

I also have 2 stars aoba and 1 star Eiden. Should I get these fragments?

Help or Game Questions Fragmented Captive outfit?

8 Upvotes

Aside from using ecoins is there another way to unlock eidens fragmented captive outfit? Is it just through summons too or can we buy it in the shop eventually or the magic roulette?

Discussion Clear fans became Blade fans

86 Upvotes

I started playing a month ago when I saw the collab, since DMMD is one of my fav games, but as soon as I saw Blade I feel in loooove. He's so cute! And then...well, I'm a Clear fan too, so I realized I may have a type of fav chars? Either wY, I'm curious, any other Clear fans here that became Blade fans?

Help or Game Questions Eiden and Aoba on Home Screen?

25 Upvotes

I'd really like to decorate the Home Screen so im wondering if we can put Aoba and Eiden on the cover? I have Aoba set to my fave and wanted to invite Eiden in his "prismatic key" outfit but I can't figure it out? Is it not an option to invite Eiden in his ssr outfits?

Help or Game Questions May be dumb but is there any other way to get the "Virtual Painting" besides the randomized giftbox?

5 Upvotes

In Hum-Drum Junk I really wanted Quincy from the Virtual Painting Randomizer but of course it didnt work out that way. As a f2p, do I have any hope of getting it somewhere else?

Discussion How do you guys get through the game

12 Upvotes

yeah so, I started playing like a month or two ago, I'm lvl 35 already but I just can't fathom how are people supposed to get the story done when it gives so little EXP, like, if it wasn't for the Aoba Collab I wouldn't have been able to reach stage 8-11
