Debuting in the Untold Naraka patch about one year into the game's lifespan (estimated GL release June 2022), the NieR: Automata characters make up a potent Physical team. Due to their nature as collab characters, 2B, 9S, and A2 -- as well as their weapons -- are available for a limited time only. They can only be obtained during Untold Naraka or during their single re-run in one of the patches following that.
NieR: Automata Characters
Frequently Asked Questions
Question #01
Are 2B, 9S, and A2 free?
In Untold Naraka, 9S and A2 are free to obtain. However, 2B can only be acquired through gacha.
When the re-run happens in a future patch, all characters must be obtained via gacha.
Question #02
I'm F2P -- Is the NieR Team worth it at S-Rank?
In PGR, the more teams you have for Babel Tower and other content, the better. Even at base S-Rank, the NieR Team is a solid addition to anyone's roster. Because the NieR team becomes so strong at higher ranks, many believe them to be worthless at S-Rank, but don't count them out!
[MORE DETAILS]
Question #03
What is the bare minimum requirement to make the NieR team powerful?
This will make A2 herself quite powerful, which is decent on a tight budget:
- SSS-Rank A2 with her 6★ weapon, Type-4O Lance - Mod
- S-Rank 2B
- S-Rank 9S
If you can spend a bit more, 2B and 9S can be used on-field as well:
- SSS-Rank A2 with her 6★ weapon, Type-4O Lance - Mod
- SS-Rank 2B with her 6★ weapon, Virtuous Contract - Mod
- SS-Rank 9S with his 6★ weapon, Cruel Oath - Mod
The most important character to invest in is A2. Ensuring she gets to SSS-Rank and gets her 6★ weapon before anything else will benefit you the most. Despite being a Tank, A2 is the main damage dealer of the NieR Team, but the others can be switched in occasionally as well if they are at least SS-Rank with their 6★ weapons.
Question #04
Since I'm F2P, should I skip any characters to obtain 2B?

Question #05
Can I skip 2B and just use A2 and 9S, since those two are free?
Without 2B, both A2 and 9S are significantly weaker as their passive buffs will be halved [MENTION SPECIFICS]. The NieR team functions much better as a full set.
Question #06
How do I obtain each character's weapon?
- 5★ NieR weapons are automatically obtained once you acquire the relevant character
- 6★ NieR weapons are obtained via gacha, but only during Untold Naraka and the re-run patch
Question #07
Will Global definitely get the NieR re-run?
- The CN version got the NieR re-run during Evernight Beat
- The TW version got the NieR re-run during Inscription of Labyrinth
More than likely, Global will get the re-run a few months after Untold Naraka. See Patches for a list of estimated patch release dates.
Question #08
How does the free Shard system work? Does it return in the re-run?
- When you evolve a NieR character to SS-Rank, you receive a bonus of 30 Shards for that character
- When evolving a NieR character to SSS-Rank, you receive a bonus of 60 Shards for that character
NieR Re-run:
- Pulling a single NieR character from gacha rewards you with 30 additional bonus Shards
- This works up to three times for each NieR character
Question #09
What is the cheapest way get A2 to SSS-Rank?
In Untold Naraka, there are some bundles in the Shop that go a long way to mitigating the cost of getting A2 to SSS-Rank.
Untold Naraka Sources of Shards:
- 328 RC Bundle: 30 A2 Shards
- 30 RC Bundle: 10 A2 Shards
- Event Shop (Free): 50 A2 Shards
- As a part of the event, when you evolve a NieR character to SS-Rank, you receive 30 Shards for the evolved character as a bonus
With that in mind, follow these steps to get SSS-Rank A2:
- Spend 358 RC on the two A2 Shard bundles in the cash shop
- Earn the 50 A2 Shards from the Untold Naraka event shop
- Spend up to 10,500 BC acquiring an extra copy of A2 from gacha (for every 10-pull you do on a NieR banner, you receive 750 NieR-specific event Tickets)
- Evolve A2 to SS-Rank, which will reward you with an additional 30 Shards
- You should now have the required amount of Shards to evolve A2 to SSS-Rank
As a reminder, here are the RC prices in the Global version:
Question #10
What is the cheapest way to SSS+ the NieR team?
Although it's still expensive to get the NieR team to SSS+ Rank, it is significantly cheaper than maxing out other characters due to the bundles that appear in the shop and other bonuses. The cheapest way to SSS+ Rank all three characters is to take advantage of both Untold Naraka and the re-run patch.
A2:
- Use the SSS-Rank A2 method from the above question during Untold Naraka; you should have 60 Shards leftover and will need only 120 more Shards to get A2 to SSS+ Rank
- During the re-run, acquire two copies of A2 via gacha to get 60 Shards, and receive an additional 60 Shards as a bonus
2B and 9S:
- During Untold Naraka, get both of them to SSS-Rank via gacha
- With 60 Shards leftover for both, acquire two copies of 2B and 9S via gacha to get 60 Shards, and receive an additional 60 Shards as a bonus for each

Question #11
Is the NieR team better than the Physical team featuring Lucia: Crimson Abyss and Rosetta: Arctic?
While they are both Physical teams, the NieR team and the Lucia: Crimson Abyss team fulfill different roles.
- The NieR team far surpasses the other Physical team when it comes to War Zone

Question #12
How do I get each NieR character's coatings?
- 2B's Revealing Outfit: 68 RC
- A2's Destroyer Outfit: 3000 currency in the event shop (free)
- 9S's Young Man Outfit: 14-Day login reward (free)
Question #13
What kind of Tickets are used to pull NieR characters via gacha?
The NieR characters require special NieR Tickets; this means that Event Construct R&D Tickets will NOT work on NieR banners, but BC can still be converted into these special NieR Tickets.
Question #14
What kind of Tickets are used to pull NieR weapons via gacha?
The NieR weapons require special NieR Tickets; this means that Target Weapon R&D Tickets will NOT work on NieR banners, but BC can still be converted into these special NieR Tickets.
Question #15
Why does it cost less BC to pull for NieR characters than other characters?
Although each NieR character still has a pity of 60 pulls and technically costs the usual 15,000 BC when converting them directly, each 10-pull done on a NieR banner will award you with a bonus of 750 special NieR Tickets. If you have to go to pity for a character, this will mean you save 4,500 BC/NieR Tickets and technically only spend 10,500 BC/NieR Tickets.
Note: This bonus does NOT apply to NieR weapons.
