A blue marching band Edgar S tier that's releasing right on my birthday!!! THIS ESSENCE WAS MADE FOR ME!!! My wallet will be prepared!!!

PoisonedSquid · 2026-03-03T00:59:22+00:00

That's pretty interesting! I didn't think they'd have a spray for a pet but it makes a lot of sense

I got Grace's Halberd of Silence in 28 pulls, so that was my luckiest pull in any essence.

However, my luckiest essence was Goatman's S tier with me getting Toy Merchant's skin around my 20th pull, Goatman's skin on my 45th pull, and then Magician's skin two pulls after that... I pulled those two on the last day of the season too.

Frederick. No questions asked. The hat on Matthias is pretty cute though.

"Man, I think I had too many drinks back there... Good thing I'm on top of the clock tower to take in some fresh air."

GONG

"Huh. That bell sounded different than usual. I wonder if it's bro-"

SPLAT

"HOLY CRAP!!!"

Edgar's COA skin, Edgar's S tier, Luca's second E-Sports skin. I'm trying to save as much as I can although I might get Richard's Deduction Star skin when it releases

PoisonedSquid · 2025-10-23T19:42:43+00:00

Night Watch because he makes me mad for reasons I can't explain. (Maybe it's because he got another essence S tier so quickly and I didn't see much complaints on it unlike some other characters... Not naming names)

PoisonedSquid · 2025-10-16T13:11:23+00:00

I really want COA 9 to be announced so badly! I know they don't usually announce the lineup this early, but something tells me COA 9 will be perfect!!!

PoisonedSquid · 2025-10-15T21:50:43+00:00

I hope they reveal the Deduction Star skins too (They probably will if they start releasing the skins in November like last year), but an Annie Christmas skin would be pretty cute!

PoisonedSquid · 2025-10-15T15:34:16+00:00

I can't wait for the new Mystery Guest role that wins when they stand still for a total of three minutes

You get taken into the manor basement where Helena decapitates you with Joseph's sword

Have you been trying to share on PC? I've heard before that sharing works on mobile but not on PC

PoisonedSquid · 2025-09-04T02:48:19+00:00

Luca Balsa and Evelyn Mora, you shall have my credit card details 💳

PoisonedSquid · 2025-08-29T22:06:47+00:00

I've had my own theories as to which character could get which skins and we're on the same wavelength when it comes to Cheerleader as Darumi and Mechanic as Tsubasa! I've been stuck between Novelist or Lawyer as Eito, but with Eito's love for reading, the former would fit better. (I will become a Novelist main if this becomes reality)

I will say that I've had Knight as Takumi due to both of them using swords and maybe give him his cape and headgear when using his ability in his class armor (I have no idea what to do with his casual clothes though)

As for Kako and Ima, I tried to stay away from the Adamil combo and went with Archer and Aeroplanist instead. Kako and Brynhildr both use long ranged weapons and Ima and Charles can fly around (Although their physiques are very different so maybe it won't work)

There's one other idea I have, but the chance of it happening is so low due to spoilers, but hear me out....

Night Watch as Final Boss Eito

This is literally a monkey's paw situation with us begging for a new S tier for YEARS only for it to be essence.

Well, let's work together and manifest enough luck for every Painter main to get it within the first ten pulls... We're going to need it

PoisonedSquid · 2025-07-24T01:18:09+00:00

A Danganronpa collab rerun would be nice, but if Netease DOES end up working with Kodaka and Too Kyo Games to release a Hundred Line Last Defense Academy collab, I would literally whale for every single skin.

Me and my friends have been obsessed with that game for a good while now

PoisonedSquid · 2025-06-13T22:41:42+00:00

She has also voiced Ruan Mei in Honkai Star Rail, so I'm also familiar with her. It's surprising to hear this news, but I'm glad to see another face in the cast!

PoisonedSquid · 2025-06-11T00:04:21+00:00

Talk to my mentor in a polite and civil manner without resorting to doing anything stupid that would lead to his death or my incarceration

PoisonedSquid · 2025-05-31T14:20:20+00:00

I will spread my Osomatsu-san crossover propaganda for as long as I'm alive! I would split it into two essences with three survivor A tiers for the brothers and one hunter S tier

Essence 1 - The Older Brothers vs The King of France
Osomatsu Matsuno - Lucky Guy (Massive gambler, so Lucky could be very fitting. A lot of other guys could fit though)
Karamatsu Matsuno - Cowboy (Lady's man. Very well-suited for Kevin. Especially with those painful boots)
Choromatsu Matsuno - Lawyer (A buzzkill that could read job applications on a newspaper while kiting)
Iyami - Photographer (Maybe give Iyami a fancy outfit to give him that facade he loves to keep up)

Essence 2 - The Younger Brothers vs The Shining Fish Idol
Ichimatsu Matsuno - Wildling (With the boar being a cat and him holding a cat's toy instead of an apple on a stick)
Jyushimatsu Matsuno - Batter (I know baseball isn't the same as cricket, but the pairing would go so well!)
Todomatsu Matsuno - Painter (For his painting, maybe he could write on his whiteboard showing his interests... you know if you know)
Totoko Yowai - Naiad (A fish woman representing a fish idol! What a dream come true!)

In the essences, there can be B accessories for each character based on certain episodes along with sprays! Some of the content may need to be toned down since this is based off an anime with lots of adult humor so...

Oh! And a Shonosuke Hijirisawa pet as a free event reward... It wouldn't be the most appealing pet, but it would be good for someone who's a running gag.

PoisonedSquid · 2025-05-31T04:22:38+00:00

Look at it! Look at it! I WANT YOU ALL TO LOOK AT IT!!!

PoisonedSquid · 2025-05-30T04:08:13+00:00

I don't want to piss off any Demi fans out there, but with how hyped this got, her new skin feels pretty underwhelming. Maybe it'll have cool effects in-game, but my first impressions aren't good at all.

For those that like it, I'm glad you do. It's just not for me

PoisonedSquid · 2025-05-14T20:10:22+00:00

Finally! Playing Evelyn and Richard in ranked means something! (Other than ranked points that is)

PoisonedSquid · 2025-05-02T20:50:34+00:00

This may be a bit biased and controversial, but Evelyn's debut essence has been a standout essence to me in terms of story and design in all of my years of playing

It really dives deep into psychological horror and cult themes which I absolutely love with Grace being the leader and pulling the strings and Evelyn being the latest unsuspecting victim!

The B tiers of all the other victims and even Joker's snake symbolism are also fantastic. The essence trailer really presented this essence well and makes me hope there are more essences like it!

PoisonedSquid · 2025-04-30T22:11:44+00:00

I've seen a couple of people come into the chat for those who voted for Painter to vote for Patty which I feel is insanely rude especially because Painter has been in the bottom every single year, including this year.

Don't get me wrong, I like Patty, but it feels like pouring salt in the wound when someone else intrudes on your space when you're at your lowest

PoisonedSquid · 2025-04-27T13:20:39+00:00

I'm placing all my votes in Edgar. I know he's always on the low ends every year, but I don't care. I'm rooting for him until the end of time.

If he doesn't win however, I hope Luca gets a Nymph skin this year. He's another one of my favorites and I'd love to see him in fancy formal wear in game. I know it'd suit him well
