Vampire’s Invitation
A handsome guy wakes you up in the middle of an empty lecture hall and starts a very… unusual conversation. I made this short game specifically...
Celebrating a favorite character’s birthday always feels special, and Luke’s Birthday Series Rerun in Tears of Themis is no exception. Running from 2025/11/24 to 2025/12/2 (UTC+9), this event brings back limited cards, new story moments, and plenty of in-game surprises. This guide walks you through the key mechanics and rewards, including special pulls, exclusive birthday R cards, and featured Mall items, so you can make the most of the celebration.

Luke’s birthday rerun in Tears of Themis always feels a bit like catching up with an old friend. From 2025/11/24 to 2025/12/2, you can revisit his sweetest memories, pick up exclusive SSR cards, deepen your bond with him, and decorate lounges that tie into key moments from his story. It is a cozy mix of story, visuals, and gameplay that makes his birthday feel like a real in-game celebration.
This rerun highlights how far Luke has come, with card pools that trace his growth and updated banners tailored for 2025. You can expect adjusted drop rates, smoother exchange options, and a refreshed event flow that still preserves the heart of past runs. For longtime fans, it feels like an emotional reunion, blending old scenes with new details and reminding you why Luke’s courage, kindness, and loyalty mean so much.


Luke’s birthday rerun keeps things simple and kind to your wallet. The Shadow of Themis line-up centers on his cards, with two banners: Luke All Year-Round Birthday Series and Like Sunlight Upon Snow. You can target your favorite Luke SSR with a guaranteed drop within 100 pulls, so you know your resources will pay off.
The schedule is staggered to give you room to plan: from 2025/11/24–2025/11/27 (UTC+9) the focus is on All Year-Round, and from 2025/11/27–2025/12/2 (UTC+9) it shifts to Like Sunlight Upon Snow. Every pull earns Trace of Tears, letting you steadily work toward the Luke SSR you want most, whether it is “Dark Swirl” or “Burning Reminiscence.” Overall, the event is built so both new and veteran attorneys can join in without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

The Luke All Year-Round Birthday Series is perfect if you miss Luke’s older birthday SSRs and want a clean, focused banner. Only your chosen birthday SSR, “Alluring Gaze,” and “Perfect Partner” appear in the Shadow of Themis pool, so you are not fighting against a cluttered list of off-banner SSRs. It keeps things clear and makes collecting feel a lot more intentional.
There is also a comforting safety net: if you reach 100 pulls without getting Luke’s featured birthday SSR, your next SSR is guaranteed to be that card. It takes the edge off bad luck and helps returning players jump back in without worrying that their efforts will be wasted.
You can change which Luke SSR you are targeting at any time, so if your priorities or tastes shift, your banner focus can shift with you. Whether you are rolling for strength, for art, or just to hold onto a favorite memory, the system is built to follow your personal preferences.


After the All Year-Round segment wraps up, the Like Sunlight Upon Snow rerun steps in to shine the spotlight on Luke SSR “Journey Beyond.” This banner only includes “Journey Beyond,” “Prosperous Shade,” “Alluring Gaze,” and “Perfect Partner,” with the rate-up centered on “Journey Beyond.” If you have had your eye on that card or missed it before, this is your chance to pour your pulls into one clear goal.
Just like All Year-Round, this banner has a guaranteed pity. If you reach 100 pulls without getting “Journey Beyond,” the next SSR you pull will be him. It softens the sting of bad luck and makes each pull feel like steady progress instead of a gamble.
Every draw also gives Trace of Tears, which you can exchange for key R cards and other rewards. Even when the SSR does not drop right away, you are still working toward something meaningful for Luke’s birthday celebration.


Luke’s birthday rerun is also a great chance to catch up on his older R cards. By spending Trace of Tears in the Mall’s Exchange Shop, you can fill in missing pieces like “Quietly Waiting,” “Prepared,” and “Thoughts” from 2025/11/24 11:00 to 2025/11/27 04:00 (UTC+9), then pick up “Call to Dance” from 2025/11/27 11:00 to 2025/12/2 04:00 (UTC+9). These R cards may be simpler than SSRs, but they show some of Luke’s softest, most human moments.
Because everything is redeemed with Trace of Tears, newer and returning players get a fair shot at finishing their Luke sets, even if they missed earlier runs. Just by pulling and playing the event, you naturally earn the currency you need to round out your collection. It feels good knowing that every draw, whether for SSRs or new lounge pieces, also nudges you closer to more Luke memories.

One last thing to keep in mind for Luke’s birthday event is what happens to leftover Trace of Tears. On 2025/12/7 04:00 (UTC+9), any remaining Traces will automatically convert into Stellin at a 1:1,000 rate. So it is worth deciding ahead of time how much you want to spend in the Mall and how much you are okay letting turn into extra currency.
It is a pretty forgiving system. If you manage to use every Trace on R cards and other rewards, great. If not, whatever is left still becomes a nice Stellin boost. Whether you carefully plan out every last purchase or just play until the end and let the conversion happen, you can walk away knowing none of your effort goes to waste.


The Mall’s Cosmetics Shop also joins the celebration with a special Dance Wish Invitation, available from 2025/11/27 11:00 to 2025/12/2 04:00 (UTC+9). It lets you dress up your interface with a look that feels very “Luke,” adding a soft, festive touch every time you log in.
You can easily swap between Dance Wish and your other invites, so it is perfect if you like personalizing your game and marking special events in a visible way. Since you can only buy it once, it feels like a little keepsake just for players who love Luke.
Even after the event ends, that design becomes a reminder of this birthday run, your pulls for his SSRs, and the R cards you picked up along the way. It is a small cosmetic, but it carries a lot of warm memories.


Starting from 2025/11/24 11:00 (UTC+9), the Sweetness Upon Snow furniture set will be permanently available in the Lounge Store. Filling your lounge with this soft, wintry set gives the space a calm, cozy feel that fits Luke’s gentle side and keeps the birthday mood alive even after the event ends.
You can buy the pieces with Limited Home Deco Vouchers, which do not expire. That means you can take your time, pick up items at your own pace, and save vouchers for future sets with a similar vibe. There is no rush to finish everything at once.
Many players enjoy using these lounge decorations alongside the SSR banners to make the celebration feel more personal. Your lounge becomes a quiet thank-you to Luke and a little corner that reflects how much his story means to you.

When you are getting ready for Luke’s birthday rerun, it helps to have a soft, simple plan. Take a look at how many Tears of Themis you have, when pity kicks in, and what is available in the Exchange Shop. Pay attention to the switch from the All Year-Round banner to Like Sunlight Upon Snow, then decide which Luke SSR you truly want most. Once that is clear, you can split your pulls between each phase in a way that feels comfortable.
Try to keep the overall schedule in mind rather than rushing. Make note of the last day to use Trace of Tears so you can choose whether to focus on SSR pulls first or securing R cards. A relaxed mindset makes it easier to enjoy the celebration instead of treating it like a race.
Do not forget the little keepsakes in the Mall, like invitations and furniture. Those cosmetics outlast the event and become quiet reminders of this birthday, the SSRs you pulled, and the stories you shared with other players. In the end, Luke’s rerun is as much about warm memories as it is about smart resource management.
