The long-running mobile RPG has thrown a spinning back kick straight into fighting-game fandom: the Summoners War Tekken 8 Collaboration is live, packing iconic Mishima-verse legends, themed missions and minigames, and a mountain of freebies for both veterans and new Summoners. Whether you’re here to add Jin Kazama to your Sky Arena roster, dress Nina Williams in her wedding-day Transmog, or simply stock up on Scrolls and Crystals, this guide breaks down everything you can earn (and how to earn it fast).

TL;DR — What’s in the collab?

• Start/End: Kicked off July 30; runs through September 30.

• Featured TEKKEN fighters: Jin Kazama, Paul Phoenix, Nina Williams, Hwoarang, and Heihachi Mishima (Heihachi is a free default 5★ unit during the event).

All playable TEKKEN 8 characters (and how they work)

Voiceovers for summoning and skill activations bring these crossover units to life, and you can preview Jin’s in-game skill effects before pulling. The roster:

• Jin Kazama (5★) — The face of TEKKEN 8, with aggressive, combo-centric skill design and cinematic animations that feel right at home in Sky Arena.

• Paul Phoenix (5★) — Big buttons, big punches, big numbers. Expect straightforward burst power that’s newbie-friendly and raid-relevant.

• Nina Williams (5★) — The style pick. More on her limited wedding dress Transmog below.

• Hwoarang (5★) — Pressure monster. Mobility, multi-hit potential, and damage uptime suit content where sustained DPS shines.

• Heihachi Mishima (free default 5★) — The patriarch arrives as a free 5★ baseline reward during the event window—a rare, generous inclusion for new players to anchor their account.

Tip: Because the Default 5★ Summon Event also includes collab units in its end-of-cycle selection, you get a second chance at grabbing a TEKKEN fighter without relying purely on gacha luck.

How to start (and maximize) your rewards

1) Pre-register & invite friends (one-time burst of value)

Before jumping into missions, make sure you’ve tapped the pre-registration and friend invitation hooks for up to 20 Mystical Scrolls plus Crystals, Energy, and Mana Stones. These are easy wins that accelerate your early pulls and progression.

2) Watch the teaser & enter the giveaway

Before July 30 (and often extended via in-game notices), players who watch the teaser video, leave a Summoner name & comment, and submit the entry form receive a participation reward (Mystical Scroll), with a chance at bigger prizes:

• 100 Excellence winners: 5 Mystical Scrolls each

• 10 Grand Prize winners: Artamiel Gaming Mouse + extra in-game loot

3) Weekly collaboration missions (the core loop)

Each week, complete a rotating set of TEKKEN-themed tasks:

• Collect Tekken Coins

• Defeat Master X

• Clear Arcade Battles

Rewards: Tekken Scroll, collab emojis, and progress toward Nina’s wedding dress Transmogrification.

4) Extra mission line (ten objectives, bigger grind, better payoffs)

Take on elemental boss objectives (e.g., defeat Fire/Water/Wind/Light/Dark bosses a set number of times—commonly 30 each) to unlock mask items themed after Monkey King, Vampire, and Harg.These masks slot into the collab minigames, subtly boosting your runs with utility or scoring perks.

5) Collab Surprise Shop (through September 14)

Trade Crystals for useful materials. Even if you don’t spend, log in daily while the shop is live for a free Mystical Scroll each day—no strings attached.

6) Default 5★ Monster Summon Event (anniversary bonus)

Over 28 days, check in across five weekly cycles (Fire, Water, Wind focus) to compile a shortlist of five 5★ options—no duplicates in the selection pool. At the end, choose one, with collab characters eligible. This event dramatically improves targeted roster building during the collab window.

Cosmetics spotlight: Nina’s wedding dress Transmog

The Nina Williams wedding dress Transmogrification is a marquee cosmetic reward here. To unlock it:

1. Complete four weekly mission sets (Tekken Coins, Master X, Arcade Battles).

2. Claim the Transmog from the collab menu once all weekly objectives are cleared.

3. Don’t forget to grab the accompanying collab emojis and Tekken Scroll while you’re there.

Why it matters: Transmogs aren’t just dress-up—they’re a statement. Nina’s wedding look is one of the TEKKEN series’ most iconic costumes, and owning it signals you cleared the full collab track.

Minigames: Super Action Hero 2 throwbacks (including Jump Jump)

The collaboration celebrates Com2uS history with three minigames that tip their hat to Super Action Hero 2. The most notable:

• Jump Jump — a vertical platformer challenge where you climb by hopping across shifting or disappearing platforms, grabbing power-ups while dodging traps.

• Mask synergy: Equipping Monkey King/Vampire/Harg masks adds micro-bonuses that help rack up scores or survivability.

Quick tips for high scores in Jump Jump

• Save boosts for sections with multiple disappearing platforms.

• Scout patterns for 2–3 seconds before committing—some tiles bait you into falls.

• Mask choice matters: Harg tends to be the most broadly helpful for new players; Monkey King shines for speed-run attempts.

What to farm (and when): a weekly plan

Week 1–2 (Onboarding & burst value)

• Pre-reg and friend invites done.

• Clear teaser participation for Scrolls.

• Finish weekly missions ASAP to stay on pace for Nina’s Transmog.

• Start elemental boss tallies—don’t leave all 30× clears to the final week.

Week 3–4 (Deepening the grind)

• Target Arcade Battles on days with spare Energy—nice XP routing while you chase mission counters.

• Slot in Jump Jump runs with masks equipped for side rewards and to break up the farm.

Week 5–8 (Closing time)

• Finish all elemental boss counters (especially Light/Dark; many players forget these).

• Use the Collab Surprise Shop before it ends September 14; claim daily Scrolls.

• Lock in your Default 5★ pick from the anniversary event during the final check-ins.

• Convert Tekken Coins and last mission rewards; don’t leave currency idle when the collab ends.

Free-to-play roadmap: getting a TEKKEN unit without whaling

1. Heihachi Mishima is free (default 5★). Claim him early and build him—he’s immediately useful in midgame content.

2. Use pre-reg Scrolls, daily Surprise Shop Scrolls, and Tekken Scrolls wisely—pull during boosted windows if any rotate in.

3. Treat the Default 5★ Summon Event as your safety net. With collab characters included in the pick-five pool and no duplicates, you can realistically secure one TEKKEN headliner even if your raw pulls whiff.

4. Friend invitation rewards are low effort; even a few invites can push you over the Scroll threshold that lands your first collab 5★.

Should you build them? Team-building notes

• Jin — Slot him where you need a front-line carry with self-sufficiency. He meshes well with ATK buff + DEF break cores, and healers who don’t steal turns.

• Paul — Think burst nuker for dungeon bosses and arena offense. He pairs nicely with ATK bar control and brand/damage amplifiers.

• Nina — Swiss-army DPS; flexible runes let you tailor her toward sustained damage or crit burst.

• Hwoarang — Excels in content that rewards consistent multi-hit pressure (e.g., Rift content, certain raids).

• Heihachi — As a free 5★, he’s a fantastic progression anchor; build him early to stabilize your teams while you experiment with the premium TEKKEN pulls.

Rune shorthand: Early/midgame: Fatal/Blade or Swift/Blade with solid crit rate and ATK% gets you rolling. Transition to Violent or Rage/Will setups as you enter late-game grinds and PvP.

Why this collab matters

On paper, the Summoners War Tekken 8 Collaboration is about cool skins and guest characters. In practice, it’s one of the most player-friendly crossover structures Com2uS has run: a free 5★ headline unit (Heihachi), stackable Scroll income from multiple sources, deterministic 5★ selection via the anniversary event, and a shower of daily logins and mission-based rewards. The minigames hit nostalgia beats, and the Nina Transmog gives collectors a clear, achievable target.

If you’ve been away from Sky Arena, this is a perfect on-ramp back into the game. If you’re new, it’s the most generous window this year to jump in, build a functional roster, and walk away with a TEKKEN star you actually want.
