What is BLEACH Mirrors High?
BLEACH Mirrors High is a free-to-play mobile RPG based on Tite Kubo's BLEACH, published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It launched on iOS and Android on October 28, 2026, after a closed beta in July and a pre-registration campaign that passed one million sign-ups. The game features familiar faces such as Ichigo, Rukia, Toshiro, Yoruichi and Sosuke Aizen, alongside new characters created for the game.
Like most character-collection RPGs, BLEACH Mirrors High revolves around summoning characters, building a team and levelling them through story and events. Characters come in rarities from 1★ to 4★, and the 4★ characters are the ones everyone is chasing at launch.
What you get for free at launch
Thanks to the pre-registration milestones, every new BLEACH Mirrors High account starts with a generous bundle in the mailbox:
- 9,000 Mirror Gems — enough for 30 summons
- 3★ [Substitute Soul Reaper] Ichigo Kurosaki
- 3★ [Squad 13 Lieutenant] Rukia Kuchiki
- Five summon tickets that guarantee a 3★ or higher character
On top of that, the tutorial includes a free Retry Summon: a ten-summon with a guaranteed 4★ that you can redraw until you like the result. That is the single most valuable decision of your first session, so do not rush it. Check our BLEACH Mirrors High codes page for any extra rewards added after launch.
How summoning works
Mirror Gems are the premium currency. In the closed beta a single summon cost 300 and a ten-summon cost 3,000, which matches the launch reward of 9,000 Mirror Gems being worth 30 summons. A few more things are worth knowing before you pull:
- Rates are low for 4★. The beta disclosed a 2.5% rate for 4★ results, so plan your pulls rather than spending gems as they arrive.
- Medals soften bad luck. Every summon gives medals that can be exchanged in the shop for 4★ characters.
- Limited banners rotate. The launch banner features Sosuke Aizen. In games like this, limited characters are usually only available while their banner runs, so decide early whether you want them.
- Check the in-game rates page. Bandai Namco publishes the exact rates and any pity rules for each banner inside the game, and the launch version can differ from the beta.
Best characters to start with
Early BLEACH Mirrors High tier lists mostly agree on a small group of standout 4★ characters. Rankings will move as players test the launch version, but these are the safest early picks:
| Character | Why players pick them |
|---|---|
| Sosuke Aizen | The limited launch-banner character, ranked at the top by most early lists |
| Ichigo Kurosaki (4★) | The best pick from the tutorial Retry Summon, according to several guides |
| Toshiro Hitsugaya | Consistently placed in the top tier |
| Rukia Kuchiki / Rangiku Matsumoto | Strong second 4★ choices for a starting team |
| Yoruichi Shihoin | Ranked highly in launch-day lists |
Remember that tier lists written on launch day are based on the beta and early testing. Team synergy matters as much as individual ranking, and characters you already own at a higher level often beat a freshly pulled "top tier" in the short term.
Lower-ranked characters are not useless — they can still clear story content — but if you are going to restart your account, aim for the names above. The reroll guide walks through the fastest way to do it.
Tips for your first days
- Take your time on the Retry Summon. You can redraw it, so keep going until you get a strong 4★.
- Collect your mailbox. The launch rewards do not apply themselves — claim them from the mailbox before you summon.
- Decide on the Aizen banner early. If you want the limited launch character, save your gems for that banner instead of spending them elsewhere.
- Focus your upgrades. Level a core team of your best characters rather than spreading materials thinly across everyone.
- Log in every day during launch. Launch login bonuses and missions are the easiest free Mirror Gems you will get.
- Watch the official channels. Launch celebration giveaways run on the official site and social accounts, and that is where new BLEACH Mirrors High codes will come from.
How to spend Mirror Gems
Your 9,000 launch Mirror Gems are worth 30 summons, which is enough for three ten-summons. The usual advice is to choose one target and commit: either the limited launch banner or the standard pool, not both. Use your five guaranteed tickets first, because they cannot land below 3★, then decide where the gems go based on what you already have.
Keep a small reserve once you have a team you like. New banners and events arrive regularly in games like this, and having gems saved when a character you want appears is better than being empty because you pulled on every banner.
Keep your account safe
Once you are happy with your account, link it from the settings menu so you can recover it if you change or lose your phone. Never share your login details or buy accounts from third parties — it breaks the terms of service and is the most common way players lose everything. If you are still rerolling, wait until you settle on an account before linking it.
Can you play BLEACH Mirrors High on PC?
BLEACH Mirrors High is officially a mobile game for iOS and Android only. There is no official PC version at launch. Some players use Android emulators to play on a computer; if you do, use a reputable emulator, keep your account linked so you do not lose progress, and remember that emulator support is not guaranteed by Bandai Namco.
Closed beta vs launch
The closed beta ran from July 22 to July 29, 2026 and was invite-only. Progress from the beta does not carry over, so everyone starts fresh at launch. Some numbers on this page, such as summon costs and rates, were first seen in the beta; we will update this BLEACH Mirrors High guide if the launch version changes them.
