Hotori — reading value from type silhouettes

The ability at a glance

In each of rounds 1–3, Hotori opens every silhouette of one type, narrowing the candidates to the same shape and type.

• · Start of 1R–3R — picks one type among the collectibles whose silhouette is still unknown and opens every silhouette of that type. You get silhouette + type, but not the color (rarity)
• · Start of 5R — every silhouette of the collectibles whose rarity (color) you know. Color + shape, but not the type
• · Candidates = every collectible of the same shape × the same type. Tap a slot to see the list (e.g. "3×2 Antique candidates: 2")
• · Real pick rate: about 17%

How to read it — frequency matters more than candidate count

Two candidates doesn't mean 50/50 — cheap collectibles are far more common, so the trap is usually the likelier one.

• · A silhouette with two candidates isn't a coin flip. Low-rarity collectibles are far more numerous on a board — a Pearl board has about 8 Purple versus about 2 Red
• · So even a "1 Red + 1 trap" silhouette is more often the trap. The percentages in the tables below account for this frequency
• · A confirmed silhouette (just 1 candidate) has a fixed value even without the color — the heart of Hotori's ability
• · Trap = a cheap candidate of the same shape and type (roughly under 10,000–20,000)
• · It varies by hall — Coral has fewer Red and Gold collectibles, so the same silhouette is less likely to be the high-value one

Antique — the type with the most confirmed high-value pieces

When Antique opens, lock in the Scepter (5×1) and statue (4×5) spots first, and count the rest only by their odds.

Shape	Candidates (price)	Odds of the high-value one (Pearl / Coral)	Verdict
5×1	Radiant Scepter (288,888)	Confirmed	Scepter confirmed — count it at full value
4×5	Giovanni's Gilded Statue (271,827)	Confirmed	Statue confirmed
3×2	Antique Suitcase (577,777) Portrait with Flowers (18,075)	Suitcase 19% / 5%	One of two, but the trap shows up 4 times as often
2×3	A Moment's Pause (88,888) Dark Green Vase (2,993)	Moment's Pause 49% / 49%	50/50
2×2	Azure Cascade (11,235,813) Starshaker (31,618) Phonograph (9,946) Blue and White Porcelain Bowl (7,996) Lotus C198 Record Player (1,624)	Starshaker 5% · Cascade 0.1% / Starshaker 20% · Cascade 0.1%	If it's Red, it's almost always (98%) the Starshaker; across the whole silhouette it's usually one of the 3 traps under 10,000
1×3	Slender Lotus Vase (101,860) Kaleidoscope (21,012) Azure Hairpin (8,065) Broken Blade (3,665)	Lotus Vase 20% / 10%	3 traps priced in the 20,000s or less — don't bet big on this silhouette alone
1×4	Blue and White Porcelain Vase (62,456) Spring Sheath (15,309)	Porcelain Vase 80% / 40%	In Pearl it's mostly the Porcelain Vase

• · A Moment's Pause (88,888) is Gold but worth more than the cheap Red pieces (in the 30,000s)A Moment's Pause88,888
• · High-value candidates cluster in this type, so when Antique opens, lock in the Scepter and statue spots first and count the Suitcase and Lotus Vase silhouettes only by their odds

Gem — the 1×1 that decides the Eternal Heart

If Gem opens and there's no 1×1 silhouette, there's no Eternal Heart — save your 1-slot average.

• · Eternal Heart (1,314,520) is a 1×1 Gem
  • – If the Gem type opens and there isn't a single 1×1 silhouette, this board has no Eternal Heart → you can skip the 1-slot average (Best set)
  • – The more 1×1 Gem silhouettes there are, the likelier an Eternal Heart is among them — if you see many and your set has the 1-slot average, it's worth using (even outside an Eternal Heart run)
  • – For reference: in Records, the Eternal Heart appears in about 16% of Pearl boards and about 8% of Coral boards (Log a Match as of 2026-09: 639 and 279 matches)
  Eternal Heart1,314,520
• · There are 16 candidates for a 1×1 Gem — apart from the Eternal Heart and Teardrop (50,000), most are under 10,000Teardrop50,000

Initially rated "low odds" — yet in Pearl it's the most common of the five candidates (33%), while in Coral it's 15%, so judge it by hall
1×3	Scepter Called Prestige (77,777) Beacon Ray (4,034) Smoky Amethyst (3,987)	Prestige 42% / 33%	2 traps — fewer than the Traveler's Stone silhouette

Tech — the jackpot Data Vault and Pendragon-run savings

It's sensible not to count a Tech 2×1 as the 70,000 USB drive, and a Tech 5×5 is the Orrery, not the Pendragon.

Shape	Candidates (price)	Odds of the high-value one (Pearl / Coral)	Verdict
2×1	Data Vault (5,121,024) Thoth USB Drive (76,008) · 6 traps under 10,000 (Universal Remote (4,557) Portable Sensor Light (4,484) Handheld Console (1,216) On Track (1,055) Chip-Eating Finger Washer (1,040) Blade Forging Stone (167))	USB 10.5% · Vault 0.1% / USB 7%	Don't set the floor at 70,000 — it's sensible to assume it isn't the 70,000 piece

2×3	Camera (76,591) Cubox Technologies Tablet (11,038) Wake-up Wham (4,843) Soul Snatcher (3,598)	Camera 35% / 23%	Worth a bet
5×5	Orrery (51,077)	Confirmed	The only Tech 5×5

• · On a Pendragon run: the Pendragon Model is a Daily Goods 5×5
  • – If Tech opens and a 5×5 is marked as Tech, that spot is the Orrery → Collectible (Special) opens the largest collectible, so using it on that 5×5 means paying to reveal an Orrery you already know about — you can save it (if there is another 5×5, it opens one of the two)
  • – If Daily Goods opens and a 5×5 is Daily Goods, it's the Pendragon Model or the Little Oink Bank (500,001) — high-value either way, with a floor of 500,000 (see Daily Goods below)
  • – A Food 5×5 is the Definitely-Fished-This-Myself Fish (9,952) — a trap (see Food below)

Food — the most welcome type, with the most confirmed high-value pieces

Food has 5 high-value collectibles whose value the shape alone decides — but nothing jackpot-class (300,000 at most).

• · 5 confirmed high-value pieces — 1×4 White Dragon King (300,000) · 3×3 Nine-Bite Snack Box (240,208) · 4×5 Flatbread (202,798) · 4×1 Golden Arowana (111,111) · 4×3 Coco Stripe (101,537)White Dragon King300,000Nine-Bite Snack Box240,208Flatbread202,798Golden Arowana111,111Coco Stripe101,537
• · It has the most high-value collectibles whose value the shape alone decides, which makes it the most welcome type for a silhouette reveal
• · Downside — no jackpot-class collectibles (300,000 at most)
• · For a Pendragon-run Hotori — like Tech, Food also exposes a 5×5 trap
  • – If Food opens and a 5×5 is marked as Food, that spot is the Definitely-Fished-This-Myself Fish (9,952) — not the Pendragon
  • – You don't need to spend Collectible (Special), which opens the largest collectible, on that 5×5 → you save the cost of the Special

Daily Goods — home of the Pendragon

A Daily Goods 5×5 has a floor of 500,000 — and if no 5×5 shows, there's no Pendragon.

• · This is the type of the Pendragon run's target, Pendragon Model (20,171,210)Pendragon Model20,171,210
• · Little Oink Bank (500,001) has the same rarity and silhouette (5×5) — so a Daily Goods 5×5 silhouette has a floor of 500,000, which makes it a valuable read on its ownLittle Oink Bank500,001
• · If the Daily Goods silhouettes open and no 5×5 shows, there's no Pendragon → save the cost of Collectible (Special)
• · 4×4 has only two: the K01 (K01 Model (59,440)) and a trap (M1000 Model (4,081))
  • – A Daily Goods 4×4 silhouette tells you in reverse that this 4×4 is not the Golden Koi Statue (22 million) — the only 4×4 collectibles are 2 Daily Goods + 3 Anomaly

• · For 2×2, the ceiling is Preserved Flower Wreath (200,201) and the floor is about 80,000 (Brand-New Limited Volleyball (88,600), Double-Neck Jade Bottle - White (80,754)) — if the silhouette shows, bet it at 80,000
  • – But there are 3 Purple traps around 10,000 (Nacupeda Model (10,029), Bunny Box (7,222), Four-Corner Cube (5,955)) — together they're 48% in Pearl, so bet 80,000 and about half the time it's a trap

Anomaly — where the most expensive collectible hides

An Anomaly 4×4 has no trap — if you see one, it's worth at least 50,000.

• · This is the type of Golden Koi Statue (22,668,888), currently the most expensive collectible of allGolden Koi Statue22,668,888
• · The other 4×4 candidates are Whalesong (50,000), also Red, and Crimson Call (100,000), a Gold worth more than that Red
  • – When you know only the silhouette and not the rarity, treating the floor as 50,000 is the safe bet
  • – It's a silhouette with no trap — all three candidates are 50,000 or more, so an Anomaly 4×4 is guaranteed to be worth at least 50,000 (unlike other silhouettes mixed with traps around 10,000)
