Tom and Jerry Chase Upcoming Banners and Magic Mirror Draw Guide

Players saving Diamonds in Tom and Jerry: Chase must budget 60 Diamonds per Star for Magic Mirror draws, which guarantee an S-tier skin from a targeted pool of six selected items, or reserve raw currency for rare characters like Angel Tom who cannot be bought with match-earned Gold. While NetEase logs regular monthly maintenance through September 30, 2026, public web portals do not publish advance multi-month banner rosters. Planning your spending requires balancing predictable gacha mechanics against recurring launch templates and seasonal Chase Pass resets.

Magic Mirror Costs and Diamond Conversion Rates

The Magic Mirror is the primary gacha feature for flagship S-tier skins in Tom and Jerry: Chase. Unlike direct cosmetic shop items, banner pulls require Stars, which cost 60 Diamonds each in the store.

The draw mechanic incorporates a targeted guarantee: players select six items, and the system guarantees an S-tier skin from that chosen pool (Lotkeys). Because each pull consumes Stars, hoarding Diamonds in advance dictates whether you can reach pity thresholds or walk away empty-handed.

System / Feature	Currency Required	Diamond Conversion Rate	Core Guarantee or Reward	Visual Preview
Magic Mirror	Stars	60 Diamonds per Star (Lotkeys)	Guaranteed S-tier skin from 6 selected pool items
Post Office	Stamps	60 Diamonds per Stamp (Lotkeys)	Yields Gold, Silver, and Golden Feathers for secret shop trades
Lucky Wheel	Rubies	Diamond conversion (Lotkeys)	Rotates exclusive skins, profile frames, and avatar cosmetics
Chase Pass (Golden Shelf)	Direct Diamonds	Fixed seasonal unlock (Lotkeys)	Milestone progression awarding guaranteed seasonal S-tier skins

Splitting resources across the Magic Mirror and the Post Office drains Diamonds quickly. Post Office draws also cost 60 Diamonds per Stamp, feeding secondary progression like Golden Feather collection. Choose between them based on whether your immediate priority is an S-tier cosmetic pool or secret shop utility.

Official Maintenance Cadence and the Banner Schedule Pipeline

Official web patch records show that NetEase deploys regular monthly maintenance to the Asia client without publishing multi-month promotional roadmaps in advance (NetEase Games).

Documented maintenance dates include: * September 30, 2026 * September 4, 2026 * August 5, 2026 * July 10, 2026 * June 11, 2026 * May 14, 2026 * April 17, 2026

Because public web announcements omit datamined rosters or upcoming character leaks weeks ahead of time, players tracking the next Magic Mirror must look at previous release cycles. Historical rollouts reveal consistent structural rules for how characters and banners hit the live servers.

How New Characters and Magic Mirror Banners Debut

When a new character arrives, NetEase historically packages the release into two distinct tracks: a direct shop debut and an accompanying S-class Magic Mirror banner.

During the October 8 to October 25, 2020 schedule, the mouse character Cherie debuted in the store alongside a two-pack skin promotion offering a 30% discount between October 8 and October 18 (NetEase Games). Simultaneously, her premier S-class skin, "Starlight Princess," ran exclusively in the Magic Mirror for Star draws through October 25.

This format creates a clear decision point for resource hoarders. If you only want to play the new character, match-earned Gold is frequently sufficient. If you want the matching S-tier aesthetic, you need enough Stars stockpiled before the limited banner expires.

What to Save Diamonds For: Magic Mirror vs. Premium Characters

While most characters can be unlocked over time by grinding free Gold, certain roster members break this rule. Angel Tom, for instance, cannot be bought with Gold and requires a direct Diamond purchase, standing out as one of the hardest characters for free players to unlock (TV Tropes).

Spending every Diamond on Magic Mirror Stars leaves no reserve for characters locked behind direct Diamond paywalls. Meanwhile, the seasonal Chase Pass Golden Shelf provides a deterministic alternative to gacha pulls. Upgrading the pass awards seasonal S-tier skins, frames, and resource packages through level progression rather than roll probabilities (Lotkeys).

Server and Platform Considerations for Diamond Top-Ups

Before purchasing Diamonds for an upcoming banner, verify your operating system and server region. Platform support and catalog restrictions differ between storefronts:

• Third-party seller NXPGame's Diamond catalog lists top-up services exclusively for Android devices operating on the South East Asia (SEA) server.
• Conversely, Lotkeys advertises Diamond packages for the broader Asia Server covering both Android and iOS devices (Lotkeys).

Confirming your server ID and operating system before checkout ensures top-ups arrive in your mailbox before time-limited banner pools expire.

How much does a single pull cost on the Magic Mirror banner?

A single Magic Mirror draw costs one Star, which can be acquired in the game store for 60 Diamonds (Lotkeys).
