Acecraft How to Get Tom and Jerry and Free Skyward Recruits Guide!

Acecraft: Sky Hero has quickly become one of the most exciting mobile roguelites, not only for its bullet-hell combat but also for its roster of quirky and powerful pilots.

Among the most sought-after are Tom and Jerry, who are available through a limited-time recruitment system called Skyward Recruit. If you want to add these classic characters to your squad without wasting resources, here’s everything you need to know.

Understanding Recruit Systems in Acecraft

Acecraft offers multiple ways to recruit pilots, but not all banners include Tom and Jerry. Here’s the breakdown:

• Standard Recruit: Includes A-grade pilots and a small chance for certain S-grade pilots like Joey or Elsa. Tom and Jerry are not available here.
• Skyward Recruit – Tom Banner: Focused on Tom with a 1.36% drop rate and boosted odds for A-tier pilots.
• Skyward Recruit – Jerry Banner: Focused on Jerry with higher odds for him and slightly reduced odds for Tom.

Both banners run for a limited time (e.g., 25 days from August 31st) and are the only way to directly recruit Tom and Jerry.

How to Get Skyward Recruit Tickets

Skyward Recruit requires special tickets, and while you can spend diamonds to recruit, it’s smart to know where to get tickets for free:

1. Event Rewards Fest Sign-in events often give out Skyward tickets on certain days (e.g., Day 4, 12, and 20). Other seasonal or limited events may also hand out tickets.
2. Mail Rewards Occasionally, the developers send free recruit tickets through in-game mail. Always check your inbox.
3. Friendship Vault Invite friends using your code. If they scan your gift box, you can earn up to 10 Skyward Recruit tickets.
4. Limited-Time Packs Some pop-up packs give 2–10 tickets for small purchases. First recharge deals are especially generous, often giving 10 Skyward tickets for under $1.
5. Battle Pass The premium version of the battle pass includes Skyward tickets as rewards.

Honk’s Depot and Signature Wingmen

Tom not only has a dedicated recruit banner but also a signature Wingman called the Mouse Exterminator, available in Honk’s Depot with a 2.4% drop rate. This Wingman synergizes perfectly with Tom, making him stronger in battle. Jerry does not appear to have a signature Wingman at this time. Other wingmen and equipment are available here too, but the odds favor wingmen over equipment.

Pity System and Drop Rates

• Pity System: After 70 draws, you are guaranteed to receive Tom (on his banner) or Jerry (on his banner).
• Drop Rate: At 1.36% for Tom or Jerry, the odds are better than most mobile gacha systems. With boosted A-tier pilot rates, you’ll likely strengthen your roster even if you don’t immediately pull the character you want.

Free-to-Play vs. Spenders

• Free Players: Focus on events, mail rewards, and the Friendship Vault. Use diamonds wisely when you don’t have tickets.
• Spenders: Small packs and first recharge deals offer excellent value, making it easier to secure Tom or Jerry quickly.

Getting Tom and Jerry in Acecraft: Sky Hero isn’t just about luck—it’s about timing your summons, collecting Skyward tickets, and making the most of events. With the pity system and boosted odds, dedicated players (even free-to-play) have a real shot at unlocking these iconic characters.
