Blood Strike Attack on Titan Series 2 Guide: Titan Strike, Free KATYA, Login Rewards, and August Schedule

Blood Strike will begin Attack on Titan Collaboration Series 2 on August 1, 2026. The second phase expands beyond cosmetic releases by adding Titan Strike gameplay to War Tide, two Titan transformations, a month-long Regiment Trial reward path, a cumulative login reward, friend-help missions, and several optional paid collaboration draws. Because the activities use different start dates and deadlines, players need a calendar before they need a shopping list.

The official July 28 update confirms the free routes and the major gameplay features. It does not mean every collaboration item is free, and it does not mean all content begins at the same reset. This guide separates guaranteed task rewards from paid Valor, Strike Pass, and gacha content so players can secure the free items first.

Series 2 Calendar

The collaboration begins in stages. July 30 is a preparation day, July 31 is reserved for the separate Fireborn Valor launch, and Attack on Titan Series 2 begins on August 1.

Open the live event pages after the relevant reset and record the time zone shown on the account. The dates above describe the official schedule, while the client countdown should guide the final claim time.

The Free-First Route

Players who want collaboration rewards without unnecessary spending should use three priorities:

1. Start the Regiment Trial early.

2. Accumulate 10 login days before August 20.

3. Prepare friends for the August 7 help missions.

Titan Strike can be learned alongside these goals, but the exact task counters should be read from the live event page. Do not assume that every War Tide match contributes to Regiment Trial or friend-help progress unless the client says so.

The free route should be completed before opening any paid draw. A collaboration page often places free missions and paid offers beside each other, which can make the entire event look purchase-dependent. Keep the task tabs and store tabs mentally separate.

Titan Strike in War Tide

Titan Strike adds Attack on Titan mechanics to War Tide. Players will be able to use ODM Gear to move quickly through the battlefield, attack Pure Titan outposts, collect Titan Power, and transform into the Armored Titan or Beast Titan.

This changes movement priorities. ODM Gear rewards vertical routes, fast repositioning, and quick disengagement, but it should not become constant uncontrolled movement. Learn the activation, available charges or cooldown shown by the mode, attachment behavior, and landing recovery in a lower-pressure situation before using it during a decisive fight.

Pure Titan outposts are strategic resources because defeating them provides Titan Power. A squad should not attack automatically. Check nearby enemy positions, objective timing, and escape routes. Fighting an outpost can expose the team while attention is fixed on a large target.

Titan transformation should be treated as a team resource. The Armored Titan and Beast Titan have different battlefield identities. Use the live mode tutorial for exact controls and abilities, then coordinate the transformation with the squad's push rather than consuming it alone.

Learning ODM Gear Efficiently

Start with three movement drills. First, practice a short approach from cover to cover. Second, practice changing direction before reaching the first destination. Third, practice canceling or landing near the team instead of overshooting.

The purpose is not to imitate a trailer. It is to arrive with enough awareness to fight. Fast movement that ends in an isolated position creates an easy elimination.

Use terrain as information. Tall structures can support rapid movement, but open areas may offer fewer safe attachment points. Before committing, identify the next two pieces of cover. If the first route fails, the second prevents panic.

Squads should avoid all using ODM Gear in different directions. Assign a lead call for major rotations and keep at least one player able to cover the landing area. Mobility becomes more powerful when the team reaches the same fight together.

Pure Titan Outposts and Titan Power

A Pure Titan outpost is both an opportunity and a risk. The reward is Titan Power, which supports transformation, but the fight can reveal squad position and consume time.

Before engaging, answer four questions:

• Is the nearby enemy threat known?

• Does the squad have enough ammunition and health?

• Is another major objective about to begin?

• Can the squad leave quickly after receiving Titan Power?

If the answer to several questions is no, delay the outpost. An enemy team may wait for the squad to weaken the target and then attack.

During the fight, maintain outward vision. One player should watch likely entry routes rather than every member focusing on the Titan. After the outpost falls, collect the reward quickly and move before another team arrives.

Do not waste Titan Power by transforming without a purpose. Decide whether it will break a defended position, protect a rotation, contest an objective, or create pressure for the squad.

Armored Titan Versus Beast Titan

The official update confirms both transformations but players should learn their exact live abilities from the mode. A role-based comparison is safer than inventing damage values.

The Armored Titan naturally suggests direct pressure and durability. It may be better when the squad needs to enter contested space or absorb attention. The Beast Titan suggests ranged pressure and area control. It may be better when the team can protect distance and capitalize on disruption.

Choose based on the fight, not personal preference alone. A transformation that duplicates an existing squad strength may be less useful than one that solves the current weakness.

Communicate before transforming. Tell teammates which form will be used, where the push begins, and what result ends the commitment. If the enemy disengages, do not chase so far that the squad loses the original objective.

Regiment Trial and KATYA Female Titan

Regiment Trial runs from August 1 through August 31 and awards KATYA Female Titan. The month-long period gives players time, but beginning early protects against missed days, difficult milestones, and schedule conflicts.

On August 1, open the Regiment Trial page and record every task category. Separate daily objectives, cumulative milestones, and any challenge that depends on Titan Strike or another specified mode. Claim early milestones immediately so the event page clearly shows the remaining path.

Do not assume the character reward arrives through login alone. Regiment Trial and the 10-day login reward are separate activities. KATYA Female Titan belongs to the trial path, while Playpal Female Titan belongs to cumulative login.

Build a weekly target by dividing the visible requirements across four weeks. Keep the final days as recovery time. If a task does not count, preserve the result screen and exact mission wording before playing additional matches.

Ten-Day Login Plan for Playpal Female Titan

The cumulative login period runs from August 1 to August 20, and Playpal Female Titan is awarded after 10 cumulative login days. “Cumulative” means the 10 days do not need to be consecutive unless the live page states an additional condition.

The safest plan is to log in on 10 of the first 12 days. This leaves eight or more days for recovery if real-life commitments interrupt the schedule. Open the event page each day rather than assuming entering the lobby completes every check-in step.

After the tenth valid day, claim Playpal Female Titan immediately and confirm the reward in the relevant Playpal collection. Do not wait until August 20 simply because extra time remains.

If a day fails to register, screenshot the login calendar and account date. Avoid switching accounts before the page has synchronized.

Friend-Help Missions From August 7

Friend-help missions run from August 7 through August 31 and can award Gold and M4A1 Battle of Faith. The exact help action, daily limit, and milestone values must be read from the live page when it opens.

Prepare before August 7 by confirming that regular teammates remain on the friend list and can access the event. Do not buy or exchange account access for help. Normal cooperation should be enough when the rules are followed.

When the page opens, identify whether help is sent, received, or both. Check whether one friend can help repeatedly, whether there is a daily cap, and whether the action requires a match. Complete one test interaction and verify progress before organizing the full group.

Claim Gold milestones as they appear and prioritize the permanent M4A1 Battle of Faith reward. Save screenshots if the event says help was sent but the receiver's counter does not update.

Free and Paid Content Separation

The Attack on Titan Strike Pass starts August 1, while the Beast Titan and Armored Titan gachas begin August 2. These are optional paid paths. They should not be confused with Regiment Trial, cumulative login, friend-help missions, or Titan Strike gameplay.

Before purchasing a pass, open its complete reward track, level requirements, end date, and whether progress is retroactive. Estimate the level reachable through normal play. A pass is poor value when the player likes the final reward but cannot complete the track.

Before entering a gacha, inspect the exact prize pool, probability display, guarantee or exchange rule, duplicate conversion, and currency cost. The official update announces the draws, but the live page should supply the financial details.

Never use the free collaboration rewards as justification to spend beyond the planned budget. Free and paid value should be evaluated independently.

A Four-Week Participation Plan

Week 1: August 1-7

Learn Titan Strike, begin Regiment Trial, start the 10-day login count, and inspect the Strike Pass without buying immediately. On August 2, review the live Titan gacha rules only if interested. On August 7, test the friend-help system.

Week 2: August 8-14

Continue cumulative login until Playpal Female Titan is claimed. Advance Regiment Trial, establish a stable friend-help routine, and claim intermediate Gold rewards.

Week 3: August 15-21

Finish the login reward before August 20. Review remaining Regiment Trial and friend-help milestones. Do not leave the permanent collaboration rewards for the final week.

Week 4: August 22-31

Use this period for unfinished Regiment Trial and friend-help progress. Verify KATYA Female Titan and M4A1 Battle of Faith ownership before the August 31 deadline.

This schedule keeps optional paid decisions away from the first-day rush and gives every free route recovery time.

Spending and Top-Up Safety

Players can experience Titan Strike and pursue the announced free rewards without treating the collaboration as a required purchase. If a Strike Pass, Valor, or gacha fits an existing budget, inspect the live terms first.

Players who independently plan a purchase can review supported products through Topuplist and the Blood Strike top-up page. Confirm account identifier, server or region, currency, denomination, and final checkout amount. A top-up does not complete Regiment Trial, login, or friend-help tasks.

Use separate budgets for the pass and each draw. Do not move unused money from a rejected offer into another collaboration pool simply because both use Attack on Titan art.

Final Free-Reward Checklist

Before Series 2 ends, confirm:

• Titan Strike has been opened and its tutorial completed.

• Regiment Trial progress is recorded from August 1.

• KATYA Female Titan is claimed before August 31.

• Ten cumulative login days are completed before August 20.

• Playpal Female Titan appears in the collection.

• Friend-help rules are checked after August 7.

• Gold milestones and M4A1 Battle of Faith are claimed before August 31.

• Optional Strike Pass and Titan gachas remain separate decisions.

• Every paid page has been checked for probability, guarantee, and deadline.

• Screenshots exist for any valid progress that does not register.

The collaboration has enough time for careful participation. A calendar and a free-first order are more valuable than trying to complete every page on the first day.
