HOK x Attack on Titan Event: Claim Free Annie Skin and Limited Rewards Before It Ends
2026-05-25
The HOK x Attack on Titan collab is almost over, so this is your final reminder to check the event page before the rewards disappear. If you still have not claimed the free Annie skin, AOT-themed items, or any leftover event rewards, now is the time to do it.
This guide quickly goes over what is still worth paying attention to before the event ends, including Eren, Mikasa, and Levi’s premium skins, the free Mayene · Annie Leonhart skin, extra free rewards, and the hero buffs that came with the collab.
A Full Titan Takeover
From the lobby to the event pages, the whole update leans hard into the “Titan invasion” theme. The map now has giant walls, ruined villages, camps, and battlefield props that make the gorge feel much closer to the AOT world without changing how matches normally work.
The event also gives both free-to-play players and spenders something to chase, from free rewards to premium gacha skins. And with new battlefield mechanics plus hero adjustments, this collab is not just for looks — it may actually change what people play during the event.
Eren, Mikasa, and Levi
Eren Yeager x Zhang Fei
Eren’s skin goes to Zhang Fei, and honestly, this is probably the easiest match to understand. Zhang Fei already has a transformation mechanic, so turning him into Eren and the Attack Titan feels very natural.
In human form, Eren fights with dual blades and ODM-style movement effects. Once Zhang Fei uses his ultimate, he transforms into the Attack Titan, with heavier punches, ground-smashing effects, and several references to Eren’s iconic anime moments. This is likely the skin that feels the most “Attack on Titan” out of the three.
Mikasa Ackerman x Jing
Mikasa’s skin is given to Jing, which makes sense because both are fast, sharp, and built around quick movements. Her effects focus on
dual-blade slashes, blue energy trails, ODM gear details, and high-speed attacks.
The highlight is her ultimate, where the battlefield turns into a wall-like circular arena. The mirror movements also make her clones feel like Survey Corps members attacking from different angles. Some players are divided on this skin, but if you like Jing or Mikasa, the speed and style are definitely there.
Levi Ackerman x Allain
Levi’s skin goes to Allain, and it focuses heavily on his clean, fast, close-range combat style. His attacks use rapid spinning blade effects, ODM gear movement, and strong references to his famous fight against the Beast Titan.
The small details also make the skin stand out. His recall includes Levi’s cleaning obsession, while another animation shows a more serious tribute to fallen Survey Corps members. Compared with the others, Levi’s skin feels more character-driven and made for fans who care about the anime references.
How Much Do These Skins Cost？
These skins are expected to come through the Precious Wish gacha system. Usually, skins in this tier can cost around 2,000 to 4,000 tokens, depending on luck.
One thing to keep in mind: Levi releases later than Eren and Mikasa. So if you are planning to get Levi, do not rush to spend all your tokens on day one. It may be smarter to wait, stack points, and decide after all three skins are available.
Free Annie Skin Guide
How to Claim Mayene · Annie Leonhart Before May 31
For free-to-play players, the main thing to grab from this collab is Mayene · Annie Leonhart. Eren, Mikasa, and Levi are tied to gacha, but Annie is different. She is a free limited Epic skin, and you can get her just by doing the event.
Go to the Oaths and Truth event
Open the Events tab, tap the Attack on Titan collab banner, and find Oaths and Truth. This is the Annie event path, so make sure you are not doing the wrong event page.
Finish the Story Exploration tasks
The skin is unlocked through Story Exploration. Basically, you move through the event story, clear simple tasks, and build up enough progress to reach the Annie reward.
The missions are not that difficult. Most of them are things like logging in, playing matches, or finishing small event objectives. Just don’t ignore the event page for too many days.
Don’t forget to claim it before May 31
The important part is the deadline. The final claim date is May 31, 2026, so once the skin becomes available, tap Claimright away.
A lot of players make this mistake: they finish the tasks, but forget to actually collect the reward. Don’t leave it sitting there until the last day.
You can claim it even without Mayene
You do not need to own Mayene first. The skin will stay in your inventory, and when you unlock the hero later, you can use it normally.
Overall, Annie is probably the easiest win in this collab. No gacha, no spending, no trial timer — just finish the event and claim the skin.
Other Free Rewards You Shouldn’t Miss
Annie is the main free skin everyone is talking about, but she is not the only thing you can get without spending tokens. The AOT collab also has a few extra rewards worth picking up while the event is still live.
Heino’s Survey Corps outfit
Heino is also getting a free Attack on Titan-style skin. It is more of a cosplay outfit than a full character skin, but the Survey Corps look still fits the event theme really well. You can usually get it by finishing event missions and collecting enough points.
Flowborn Armored Titan outfit
Flowborn players also get something special: an Armored Titan-themed outfit. This one is tied to the Protect the Wallsevent, where you play event tasks or mini-games to collect progress. It is free, so it is worth doing even if you only play Flowborn sometimes.
AOT-themed minion skin
The collab also includes Attack on Titan minion skins. This is easy to overlook because it is not as flashy as a hero skin, but it adds a nice touch to matches. If you have enough event currency or honor crystals, this is a simple reward to grab.
Spritling outfits and smaller cosmetics
There are also AOT-themed spritling outfits and other small cosmetics during the event. They may not be the main reason people log in, but they help complete the whole collab collection.
Background animation
A special AOT background animation is also available during the event. It is more of a collector item, but if you like having your profile or lobby match the collab theme, do not forget to check the reward pages for it.
Why the AOT Skin Heroes Are Suddenly Stronger
Funny enough, the heroes getting AOT skins are not just looking better this patch — many of them are also playing better. The timing is hard to ignore. While the collab is live, HOK clearly wants these heroes to feel more exciting in real matches, not just in the skin preview screen.
Zhang Fei gets a big damage push
Since Zhang Fei is getting the Eren skin, his buffs make a lot of sense. His skill damage is going up, and his Titan-form damage becomes much scarier than before. That means he is not only a tanky support anymore. With the right build, Zhang Fei can actually hit hard and punish enemies during his ultimate.
Mayene becomes harder to kill
Mayene, the hero for Annie’s skin, gets more sustain and better damage reduction in some combos. This fits Annie’s fighting style pretty well: get in, trade hard, survive, and keep pressuring. If you already know how to cycle Mayene’s skills properly, this buff makes her feel much more annoying to deal with.
Allain hits harder in close fights
Allain, who carries the Levi skin, also gets more damage on his first skill, including stronger true damage. This helps him a lot in close-range duels, especially against tankier enemies. It also makes the Levi skin feel more fitting, since Levi is supposed to be fast, sharp, and deadly once he gets close.
Jing gets a better finishing tool
Jing, the hero for Mikasa’s skin, gets a useful boost to her ultimate. With added base damage, her mirror domain becomes more reliable when trying to finish targets, instead of only working well when enemies are already low. For Jing players, this is a clean and practical buff.
Other heroes also get some love
Charlotte, Angela, and Lu Bu also receive buffs, while Princess Frost and Lady Zhen get smoother skill combo fixes. These are not all directly tied to the main AOT skins, but they still help freshen up the patch and may shift what players pick during the event.
