Sword of Convallaria Global 2nd Anniversary: the Full UTC-4 Schedule for Every Banner, Event and Unlock

Global's second anniversary opened on July 31, 2026, five tracks at 00:00 UTC-4 and the rest at 12:00 UTC-4. The version itself landed two days earlier, in the maintenance of 02:00 to 05:00 on July 29 UTC-4, which is 23:00 July 28 to 02:00 July 29 PDT.

XD put the entire calendar on a single graphic on July 24, and every row on it carries a UTC-4 stamp: thirteen summon windows, thirteen events, one sign-in track, three skins and three permanent unlocks. No English outlet transcribed it. The reprints of the press release stop at four bare dates with no clock time and no timezone, which is the one thing a player planning pulls needs.

Two claims travelling with the anniversary do not survive the sources. There is no free Legendary selector for the general player base, and the 70 free pulls figure belongs to August 2025.

The complete schedule, every stamp UTC-4

Summons first, because that is what the calendar is for.

Then the events, which is where the anniversary rewards sit.

Galactic Remnants is the sign-in track, 7/31 00:00 to 8/20 23:59 UTC-4, twenty-one days. Three permanent unlocks are staggered across the same stretch: Sagas of Ice and Blood at 7/31 12:00, Hunt on the Frozen Plains at 8/7 12:00, and a new Expert Mode in Fool's Journey chapters 4-5 at 9/18 0:00.

Three skins ship with it. [When the Frost Finally Thaws] for Anna and [Morning] for Ayishah both run 7/31 12:00 to 8/27 23:59, and [A Promise Never Forgotten] for Samantha - Everglow follows on 8/28 12:00 to 9/10 23:59. The graphic carries XD's own footer: planned content under development, refer to in-game announcements.

What XD actually confirmed as rewards

The 2nd Anniversary Special Preview premiered July 24, 2026 at 4:00 AM UTC-4. The three redeem codes were revealed during that stream.

The confirmed gift is a commemorative in-game mail on 1 August carrying an Anniversary Cake furniture item, resources, a limited avatar frame and, in XD's phrasing, more. No quantities were published for any of it.

Vow of Reunion is the piece the rest of the coverage is mangling. It is restricted to new accounts and to accounts that have not logged in for 45 days or more, it unlocks on first log-in, and what it grants is an increased summon rate on two heroes of the player's choice. That is a rate-up choice on a returner offer, not a free Legendary, and not something the existing player base receives.

A Nostalgic Bond, 7/31 12:00 to 8/27 23:59, is the anniversary memoir track, and its reward contents are likewise unquantified. Galactic Remnants has a published window and no published per-day contents for 2026. XD also announced a second in-person community meet-up with no date and no city attached.

The 70 free pulls figure is a 2025 number

Raining Secret Fates! is real and it ran 7/31 00:00 to 8/6 23:59 UTC-4, seven days. What XD has not published for 2026 is its mechanic: no per-day figure, no total.

The 70 comes from the first anniversary. In 2025, Raining Secret Fates! ran 8/1 00:00 to 8/7 23:59 and made the first 10-pull on the Fateful Summon banner free every day, up to 70 free pulls across the week. That is the sentence being recycled into 2026 articles, alongside the 2025 Galactic Remnants payout of 10 Secret Fates over a 14-day track.

Inven Global reported daily free 10-pulls for the 2026 run on July 30. It is the only outlet saying so, it attaches no window and no event name, and its mode and character names are machine-translated. Seven days at ten pulls would land on 70 again, so treat it as Expected: about 70 free pulls, on the 2025 precedent, and check the in-game event page before budgeting around it.

Anna opens the banner line, Rogneda follows on 8/14

Anna, leader of The Forsaken, whose [Bloodstained Dawn] banner ran 7/31 12:00 to 8/13 23:59 UTC-4. Her PV published July 27, 2026.

Four new companions arrive across the arc. Anna leads The Forsaken and came first. Rogneda, Scion of Luccia, switches between a human form and a Golden Lion form on [Luccian Blood Forever] from 8/14. Alexei - Snowstride is a returning Alexei with a refined kit on 8/28, running beside a straight Alexei rerun. Ulya is a streetwise gadgeteer who buffs allies, and she closes the run on 9/11.

Fate's Favor is the long window, 7/24 12:00 to 8/20 23:59, and it is a selection banner: the player picks two characters to feature. No 90-pull guarantee has ever been published for it, on GameWith's banner pages or anywhere else, so the numbers that apply are the standard ones.

Those numbers are worth restating because the rarity ladder here is Legendary, Epic, Rare and Common. This game has no SSR tier. The Legendary rate on a character banner is 2%, hard pity is 100 summons for any Legendary, and 180 summons guarantees the featured character on a debut banner. Rate-up is 50% on a single-featured banner and 75% on a dual-featured one. Character pity carries across character event banners and is tracked separately from gear.

[Pact of Ascension] runs 7/31 12:00 to 8/13 23:59 and pairs with the [New Unique Ascensions] batch listed as item 14 in the July 28 maintenance notice. Which existing characters are in that batch has not been published in any source we can verify, so the six-name list circulating with it should be ignored until XD names them.

The Luccian Tundra runs in two halves

Story arcs ship into Spiral of Destinies as named expansions, not as numbered versions, which is why this game's coverage keys on arc names.

The arc is The Luccian Tundra, and Sagas of Ice and Blood is only its first story. It opened 7/31 12:00 UTC-4 as a Spiral of Destinies expansion, with Luccia facing what XD calls a winter unlike any other.

Frostheart is the second half, dated 25 September. It is set in Year 980, shortly after the Luccian Empire's defeat in the Second Radiant War.

Hunt on the Frozen Plains opened a week behind the story, on 8/7 12:00, and it is a strategy event with three branching modes rather than a boss gauntlet. Coldwind Hunting Grounds is the standard track, Endless March is the one-team challenge, and Frostcataclysm is the boss gauntlet of the three.

Hall of Winds is the Luccia-themed rogue-like, and it does not run alongside the story at all. Its window is 9/4 12:00 to 10/1 23:59, five weeks after Sagas of Ice and Blood opened, and it closes the anniversary stretch.

The three codes, and what nobody has published about them

Three anniversary codes were revealed during the July 24 preview: 2YEARSWITHEN, EN2NDANNIV and THANKYOU2EN. Each pays Hope Luxite x200, so 600 in total, which is free premium currency rather than tickets.

No expiry has been published for any of the three. GameWith, Pocket Gamer and dotgg all list them without an end date, and XD has not stated one. Anniversary codes on this game have historically stopped working without notice, so the honest reading is that the deadline is unknown, not that there is no deadline. Redeem now.

Which anniversary this actually is

The tactical layer that the arc content plugs into: turn-based combat on an isometric grid with terrain height.

Global/EN launched July 31, 2024, on both the App Store and Steam, which is what makes July 2026 its second anniversary. Some coverage dates the Global launch to August 2024 because the 8 p.m. EDT rollout put the UK past midnight.

The other services are a year older. The Traditional Chinese service for TW, HK and Macao opened 2023-08-08 and the mainland Chinese service opened 2023-11-23, so both are on their third anniversary in 2026, on different dates and with different content. Anything written about this event applies to the Global server only.

XD is both developer and publisher, listed in both roles on Steam, with XD Entertainment Pte Ltd as the App Store seller for Global and 心动网络 / XD Inc. as the Chinese entity. There is no separate publisher to credit.

The Global service's own key art, Reunion in the Convallaria Bloom. Two years old on July 31, 2026.

Three dates that will tell where this lands

Rogneda's banner on 8/14 12:00 is the first read on whether the new Luccia units sell better than the reruns beside them, since she debuts with no Astral Imprint competition beyond Pride of Golden Lion.

Hall of Winds on 9/4 12:00 is the retention test. It is a rogue-like arriving five weeks into the celebration, which is where anniversary traffic normally falls off.

Frostheart on 25 September is the deadline that matters. The arc is only half shipped, and the second half is the one carrying the Second Radiant War fallout. By then Ulya's banner will have been live for two weeks and Fool's Journey Expert Mode will have opened on 9/18, so a slip past 25 September leaves the schedule with nothing new until October.

FAQ

When did the Sword of Convallaria 2nd anniversary start and when does it end? Content opened July 31, 2026, at 00:00 UTC-4 for the event and sign-in tracks and 12:00 UTC-4 for the banners and story. The last scheduled item, Hall of Winds, closes 10/1 23:59 UTC-4.

What are the Sword of Convallaria anniversary codes, and do they expire? 2YEARSWITHEN, EN2NDANNIV and THANKYOU2EN, each worth Hope Luxite x200. No expiry date has been published by XD or by any code aggregator, so redeem them rather than assume they stay open.

How many free pulls does the 2nd anniversary give? XD has not published a number for 2026. Raining Secret Fates! ran seven days, 7/31 00:00 to 8/6 23:59 UTC-4, and one outlet reports daily free 10-pulls without dating them. The widely quoted 70 is the August 2025 first anniversary figure.

Is there a free Legendary selector? No. The only selection mechanic announced is Vow of Reunion, it applies to new accounts and accounts inactive 45+ days, and it grants an increased summon rate on two chosen heroes rather than a character.

What is the pity in Sword of Convallaria? Hard pity is 100 summons for a Legendary at a 2% base rate. A debut banner guarantees its featured character at 180 summons. Gear banners guarantee at 50.

When do Rogneda, Alexei - Snowstride and Ulya release? Rogneda 8/14 12:00 to 8/27 23:59, Alexei - Snowstride 8/28 12:00 to 9/10 23:59, Ulya 9/11 12:00 to 9/24 23:59, all UTC-4.

Is there an SP Inanna or Maitha banner this anniversary? No. SP Inanna was the first anniversary banner in August 2025, and Maitha is absent from the entire 7/24 to 9/24 schedule. Samantha - Everglow appears only as an 8/28 rerun with a matching skin.

We will update this piece when XD publishes the Raining Secret Fates! mechanic or names the Unique Ascension batch.
