NIKKE UNION ARENA ‘Precious’ Booster Pack Guide: Serialized APs, Parallel Rares, Card List
Wondering what the top chase cards in UNION ARENA: NIKKE Precious Booster Pack are going to be?
Bandai has revealed several desirable cards from the set, including the SR** lineup and – perhaps even more importantly – the serialized Action Point cards that you can find in packs.
But first, what exactly is a Precious Booster Pack and what makes it special?
NIKKE Precious Booster Pack – what is it?

While we’ve had special and/or unique UNION ARENA sets before like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Special Booster Pack or the BLEACH New Card Selection, NIKKE gets the first Precious Booster Pack in the English Version.
Precious Booster Packs act as highly specialized sets with four all-foil cards in them. They’re designed to be highly desirable to both players and collectors, and the all foil gimmick gives every card you pull a high end feel (even if they won’t all be of actual value).
But that’s not all: NIKKE Precious Booster Packs also introduce a brand new rarity into UNION ARENA English Version. Technically speaking, it introduces several exclusive rarities. These are:
PcC (Precious Common)
PcR (Precious Rare)
PcSR(Precious Super Rare)
AP(Action Point)
NIKKE Precious Booster Pack cards each contain a unique rarity
Similarly, alternate art cards like SR** cards will also contain the “Pc” in their actual card text, denoting their inclusion in this brand new UNION ARENA product type.
The NIKKE Precious Booster Pack Display Box will include just 10 packs for a total of 40 cards. That’s considerably fewer cards than you’d get in a standard UNION ARENA booster pack, albeit with the upgraded feel.
Why is NIKKE getting the Precious Booster Pack?
Before diving into the super rare and valuable cards you can get in NIKKE, it’s worth exploring into some additional market context to help explain the reason for why NIKKE gets such special treatment. There have been many, many sets released in UNION ARENA English Version, and almost none of them have had a special product like this before (with the most notable exception being the BLEACH Binder Set).
So why NIKKE?
Well if you don’t know, NIKKE enjoys a pretty massive and devoted following. And while the mobile game from which it originates enjoys global success, cards that print its popular characters tend to move product.
Indeed, the original set launch back at the end of 2025 was treated as something of a special occasion by Bandai. It introduced English Exclusive alternate art box topper promos, and even a campaign that let fans get a NIKKE storage box gift when they purchased enough products from local shops.
But that’s not the only reason Bandai is launching this new, high quality product.
Precious Booster Packs give UNION ARENA a competitive edge
I’m not talking here about a competitive edge within UNION ARENA (although many of the decks that will be coming out with the Precious Booster will indeed be quite strong). I’m talking about UNION ARENA within the TCG market, especially compared to the game’s main legacy competitor: Weiss Schwarz.
Just this September, Weiss Schwarz released their NIKKE Vol. 2 set. The massive success of their original NIKKE expansion helped catapult the game to a top 10 spot for 2024. Undoubtedly cognizant of that success, Bandai poured significant effort into their first NIKKE set when compared to previously released UA expansions. However, this increased effort eventually became the standard for ongoing UNION ARENA releases. And now, they’re raising the bar once again – likely in an attempt to outshine their main competitor.
NIKKE Precious Booster Pack will have Serialized, Hand-Signed Action Point cards
Moving on from what the Precious Booster Pack actually is and why it is, now we can look at the top hits most NIKKE fans will be chasing from this set. The holy grail chase card you can get from a Precious Booster Pack is a hand-signed, serialized Action Point card. These Serialized APs are incredibly rare. And although an actual number has not been revealed, it’s unlikely that there are more than 100 of each of these serialized APs in print (perhaps even fewer).
Precious Booster Pack Serialized APs look different in Japan
While the Precious Booster may have been released in Japan earlier this year, the APs you can get in English boosters differ slightly from their Japanese counter-part, making them a worthy chase for collectors of either version.
NIKKE Precious Booster Pack SR** cards
In addition to the serialized AP cards, the SR** NIKKE cards from this set have also been officially revealed in English. They feature brand new artwork exclusive to UNION ARENA, and should be quite valuable to say the least.
You’ll notice (if you look closely enough) that the rarity symbol for each of these cards is slightly different than regular SR** “Parallel Rare” cards, as it bears the “Pc” symbol, effectively making each of these card rarities exclusive to the set.
UNION ARENA: NIKKE Precious Booster Pack – Complete Card List
While the English Version of the NIKKE Precious Booster Pack hasn’t been fully revealed yet, Japan’s came out in February 2026. Set lists rarely differ vastly between sets, meaning we should be getting all of the cards below in the English Version.
I’m specifically excluding the Action Point cards released in the Japanese version as the last NIKKE set got English Exclusive APs.
That’s just about everything you need to know about the NIKKE Precious Booster Pack. Stay tuned for more UNION ARENA spoilers as we get closer to the official release!
