Festival units finally make their appearance in Jumble Rush!
What is a Festival unit?
Festival units fall into a category above Pick Up units. Festival UR units have a higher pity cost (200 summons instead of the 100 required for Pick Up UR units).
You also cannot use Special or Pick Up tickets on their banner, only the new Festival tickets can be used.
In exchange for this they should boast a “stronger” skill set that could make them more useful to your team.
Special Gift Rewards
The developers send gift links to the website listed below for every event, make sure to check it periodically to receive various rewards!
You will need to create a Bandai Namco Account (make sure to set your region as JP when it asks) and link it to your Jumble Rush account in order to receive these rewards.
Make sure to check it once the event goes live!

New Updates
Some new features have been added in the latest update!
New Feature – Stamina Boost
Stamina Boost allows you to perform multiple runs of the same stage at one time, up to Five at once! For example, if a stage costs 10 Stamina to run, with Stamina Boost you could use 50 stamina to get 5 runs worth of drops!
New Feature – Next Run Button
This button will appear at the end of stages on the results screen. Instead of needing to go back to the event menu to try the stage again, you can simply click the Next Run Button and go straight into the next run!
New Feature – The Exchange
A new button has appeared on the home screen that will take you to The Exchange. There are currently two sections available in The Exchange. One section allows you to purchase items in exchange for coins. This section will reset monthly. The other section allows you to trade in unwanted Character Fragments in exchange for equivalent rarity Character Fragment Choice Boxes.
Period: 12/22 after maintenance ~
Next Event & Possible Leaks!
As shown in the banner for this news post you can see that there is also another Festival unit planned for New Year’s Day and that is of course, [B-Komachi Center] Ai Hoshino from Oshi no Ko
As we have known for some time, Oshi no Ko will be coming to Jumble Rush!
As we saw in the roadmap, a number of new series will be added one after the other. The only ones we know about so far are Oshi no Ko and Kindergarten Wars
We don’t know when Kindergarten Wars will appear for sure but it’s safe to assume it will be one of the new series added at the start of the year.
Oshi no Ko is confirmed to be the next I Like It Festival which will start on New Year’s Day!
In addition to the newly confirmed Festival Ai Hoshino, we also know some of the other characters being added:
- Aqua Hoshino
- Ruby Hoshino
- Arima Kana
- Mem-Cho
- Akane Kurokawa
- Pieyon
As you can see, a much stronger roster than any of the events that have come prior. So far only Ai has appeared in the data download so we don’t know what role each character will play in the event.
I’d like to say that today’s announcements show improvements for sure, we finally have the release of our Festival (limited equivalent) units, an exciting new series event is coming soon with an improved number of new units and on top of that we have some much needed quality of life updates.
That’s not to say that it’s all good, the Christmas sales packs are awful as usual, there are seemingly no festival tickets being distributed for free and the only obtainable ones are from the previously mentioned awful sales packs.
I also think that, while waiting a while before releasing the first Festival unit is a common gacha practice and perfectly fine, why did they release 2 in such a short space of time, that is such a strange choice…
Hopefully they at least have some nice gifts and rewards planned for new year
As for anything else hidden in the DL, we have old event banners being re-added to the files slightly altered
Old
New
The format of the banner has changed but the text written there is exactly the same so I don’t know what this is for, perhaps reprints coming soon?
A new UI item icon. It has a similar image to the “events” tab so this could also have something to do with the updated event banners. Maybe they will allow us to unlock old events for a limited time somehow?
A new pass labeled New Year 2026. They have added other passes to the files that never actually got implemented but this one specifies an event we know is coming so I think it will be implemented. Considering the fact that the Monthly Ad-Free pass is one of the only good value sales packs to begin with, I’m at least interested to see what this ends up offering.
And that’s about it for this post, I’ll see you soon for the Oshi no Ko event! Merry Christmas everyone!
