The Tide is a Version 1.3 water-only jet ski tied to a summer Mystery Box-style gacha with swimsuit cosmetics. It is a costly luxury pull on CN, so global players should save Fons and Annulith only if they want the vehicle or outfits more than banner progress.
China already has Version 1.3, while global-facing update coverage still places the same summer content ahead of release. Use this guide to decide whether to save Fons and Annulith for the Tide box instead of spending blindly when the update reaches your server.
Who the Tide swimsuit box is for
The Tide box has one clear tradeoff: it gives you a flashy sea vehicle and several beach cosmetics, but the pull cost climbs hard enough to compete with character banners and other premium-resource plans. If you only care about account power, skip it as a luxury spend.
If you care about summer cosmetics, the box is much more tempting because it includes the Tide, swimsuit outfits, dyes, frames, letters, material chests, and beach-volleyball cosmetics tied to specific characters. Use the CN version as your budgeting baseline; global release can change English names or presentation.
Tide box rewards at a glance
| Reward | What it is |
|---|---|
| Tide | A red jet ski-style sea vehicle for water travel. |
| Nanally swimsuit | A summer outfit shown with a character-specific beach volleyball cosmetic. |
| MC swimsuit | A swimsuit outfit for the player character. |
| Mint swimsuit | A summer outfit shown in the box, though some Version 1.3 previews list Mint’s swimsuit as a free event reward. |
| Dyes | Five dye rewards appear in the reward pool. |
| Frame | A profile or cosmetic frame reward. |
| Letters | Letter-style cosmetic or collectible rewards. |
| Material chests | Resource chests among the smaller pool rewards. |
| Beach volleyball cosmetics | Character-specific volleyball items paired with certain swimsuit rewards. |
This is the reward set to budget around for the Version 1.3 CN showcase and the broader summer preview.
How the Tide jet ski moves
Tide is a sea vehicle. Use it for crossing water, traveling over the sea, and handling water-related content without your character drowning.
It can jump, and higher speed gives it a stronger launch. Waves and uneven underwater terrain also affect how it moves, so it does not behave like a flat-road vehicle dropped onto the ocean.
On land, the Tide performs badly: it can get stuck and will not drive around properly like a normal race vehicle. Because this comes from the fresh CN release, expect the handling to feel rough in places until the vehicle is tuned further.
Tide pull costs and the Fon warning
| Cost point | Player takeaway |
|---|---|
| First pull: 50 Annulith or 50,000 Fons | The opening pull is cheap enough that curious players may be tempted. |
| Second pull: 80 Annulith or 80,000 Fons | The early ramp still looks manageable, which can hide the real full-clear cost. |
| Late Fon pulls | Later rolls climb into multi-million-Fon territory, including costs around 2 million, 2.5 million, 3 million, 3.5 million, and 4.2 million. |
| Full clear with pure Fons | Budget around 19.8 million Fons if you are planning for the worst case from the CN numbers. |
| Last pulls with Annulith | Using Annulith late may be better than burning huge Fon chunks, especially if you need Fons for shops or account upkeep. |
The box starts cheap, then gets expensive fast. Early pulls can be paid with Fons or small Annulith amounts, but the late pulls are the trap because each remaining roll costs far more than the last.
The painful part is not the first handful of pulls; it is reaching the end with only premium rewards left. Once the cost reaches that range, decide whether a swimsuit or the Tide is worth sacrificing banner resources.
Set your stop point before pulling: if Tide appears early and the remaining swimsuit cosmetics are not must-haves, leave the box instead of paying the late-roll premium.
Tide rates and late-pool weightage
Tide cannot appear in the first five pulls in the CN box behavior. After that, it enters the pool with its own weightage, while the remaining rewards continue to shift as smaller items are removed.
That is why the big rewards feel back-loaded. Once dyes, frames, letters, and material chests have already been pulled, the remaining swimsuit rewards gain better odds late because fewer lower-value items are left competing in the pool.
The exact English rate presentation can differ by server, so plan around the pull behavior instead of memorizing tiny percentage values: early pulls remove filler, late pulls decide whether you are paying for the Tide, a costume, or both.
Who should pull the Tide box
| Player type | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| F2P and light spenders | Save first. Pull only if you already accept that this is cosmetic spending, not roster progress. |
| Cosmetic collectors | Budget for late pulls before starting, because the outfits can sit behind several removed rewards. |
| Tide-focused players | Stop once the jet ski appears unless the remaining swimsuit is worth the next cost spike. |
The Tide box is worth pulling if you specifically want the jet ski or the swimsuit cosmetics. It is a weak pull as a general account upgrade, especially because Version 1.3 also adds banner pressure from summer character releases.
Key If you are also planning for Version 1.3 characters, the box should come after your banner plan. A jet ski is fun, but it can drain the same premium-resource pool you may want for limited pulls.
Version 1.3 summer content around Tide
The Tide box is part of the larger summer update, not a standalone feature. Version 1.3 adds beach content, including Volley Star, a volleyball activity with Fon payouts tied to performance.
The same summer wave also includes the Sirocco, a separate dune buggy designed for off-road driving, plus other beach-themed additions and activities. Keep those separate from Tide planning: the Tide is the water vehicle tied to the Mystery Box-style spend, while Sirocco is its own vehicle path.
The update subtitle appears with slightly different English wording across previews. That does not change the practical point for players: the Tide box belongs to the Version 1.3 summer content cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Tide be used in land races?
No. Tide is for sea travel and water content, not land races. Even if it bounces over sand or terrain at speed, it is not a proper land-racing vehicle.
Should I keep pulling after getting Tide early?
Only if the remaining swimsuit cosmetics are worth the next price to you. Once Tide is secured, the box becomes a pure cosmetics decision.
Does Mint’s swimsuit being free change the Tide box advice?
It makes the box less automatic for Mint fans. Since Version 1.3 previews conflict on Mint swimsuit availability, wait for your server’s event screen before spending for that outfit specifically.
