The lineup starts with 70 free pulls in the JP 5th Anniversary Free Gacha, plus the Your Pick Gacha Limited Edition, which lets players select a 4-star Limited Character, and the Bloom Festival Gacha Gold Fever, which doubles the appearance rate for 4-star Characters. The celebration also includes a login campaign, a login story, a Your Memories gift, a special Virtual Show, a run-up Special Prize Gacha, Stamp Missions, and anniversary bundles and offers.
