NutCracker guide
Browse, share, and open item previews
A NutCracker preview link opens a public page with the selected item’s name, image, and catalog context. Anyone with a browser can view it. The website does not apply files to a device.
Find the right catalog entry
Choose a hero to see its skin options, or open Preparations and select a category. Search filters narrow the visible cards without changing the links you can share.
Original entries identify a source item. Replacement entries show “For” followed by the source name. The same destination may appear more than once when different source options are available, so check that label before choosing. Official, Custom, and Anime are catalog classifications.
Share the item page
Use Share on a catalog card or Copy link on a preview. Send that link through your preferred messaging app. It points to the item preview, so the recipient can check the name and image before opening NutCracker.
If the item has left the current catalog, an older link may show an unavailable notice. A replacement is shown only when one has been provided; otherwise return to the catalog to choose a current entry.
Open the selection in the Android app
On a supported Android browser, tap Open in NutCracker. If the app is not installed, use Get the Android app to visit its Google Play listing. After installation, return to the same preview and open it again.
If a link stays in the browser, make sure NutCracker is installed and up to date. Check the app’s Open by default / supported links setting in Android; the setting name varies by device. You can also search for the displayed item name inside NutCracker.
Understand preview-only availability
Some preparation items have preview metadata but no archive available to apply. They are labeled Preview only and remain visible so you can identify or share them.
Opening a preview does not start an installation. Review the app’s available options and access status before continuing.
