Hotori — reading value from type silhouettes (1.4)

Hotori
Hotori

How to play Hotori as of the 1.4 update — which round 1–3 type silhouettes lock in a piece and which are traps across Antique, Gem, Tech, Food, Daily Goods and Anomaly, including the 7 new collectibles (Luminous Goblet, Stringblade, Cloudveil Cup and more) and the 2-slot and 9-slot averages, with odds per hall.

In one line

Once a type opens, the candidates are same shape · same type only — the common one is the trap

What changed in 1.4

The ability is the same — what changed is 7 new collectibles on the board and the Devices (2-slot and 9-slot averages).

  • Hotori's ability is the same as in 1.3 — the per-type tables below carry over the 1.3 calls and only update the cells that changed in 1.4 (marked New in 1.4 in the tables)
  • 7 new collectibles have changed the candidates for type silhouettes
    • Three more silhouettes are now confirmed — Antique 2×5 Antique Pendulum Clock (150,933) · Tech 3×4 Game Console (119,211) · Food 2×5 Creamy Berry Baguette (30,452). These are new shapes, so there's no other candidate
    • The once-confirmed Food 3×3 is no longer certain — besides the Nine-Bite Snack Box (240,208), the jackpot-class Luminous Goblet (16,800,000) has arrived with the same shape and type
    • New candidates also slipped in: the jackpot-class Stringblade (8,989,898) in Gem 3×1, the Cloudveil Cup (500,000) in Daily Goods 1×1, and the Favorite Pizza (29,977) in Anomaly 3×1

  • Devices: the 1-slot and 3-slot averages are gone, and a 2-slot average (Advanced All-round, 25,000) has arrived. The 9-slot average moved to the Best set (70,000)
    • 1×2 and 2×1 silhouettes can be checked with the 2-slot average, and Food 3×3 silhouettes with the 9-slot average — telling high value from trap (the Food and 2-slot average sections below)
    • The 1.3 play "no Gem 1×1 means you can save the 1-slot average" and the Eternal Heart run don't work in 1.4 — there's no 1-slot average device
  • On real 1.4 boards the new Red pieces show up quite often — on Pearl boards: Pendulum Clock 14% · Game Console 15% · Cloudveil Cup 14% · Pizza 12% · Luminous Goblet 0.4%

The ability at a glance

In each of rounds 1–3, Hotori reveals every silhouette of one type — candidates are limited to the same shape and type.

  • Start of rounds 1–3 — 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 round 5 — 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 4 Red pieces but more than 20 at Purple rarity or lower (in Coral, 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 = any candidate of the same shape and type worth 200,000 or less — even Red or Gold pieces count as traps below 200,000 (next to jackpots and high-value pieces, their value is small)
  • 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), statue (4×5) and Pendulum Clock (2×5) spots first; count the rest only by their odds.

  • A Moment's Pause (88,888) is Gold but worth more than the cheap Red pieces (in the 30,000s) — still under 200,000, so it counts as a trapA Moment's Pause88,888
  • The Pendulum Clock shows up often on 1.4 boards — on 14% of Pearl boards · 11% of Coral boards. At 150,000 it isn't a big value, but an Antique 2×5 silhouette has only one candidate, so its value is settled the moment it shows
  • A 2×5 is the Pendulum Clock if it's Antique and the Baguette if it's Food — knowing the type separates the two (a silhouette from a Device or the auctioneer, which doesn't give the type, leaves it as one of the two)
  • High-value candidates cluster in this type, so when Antique opens, lock in the Scepter and statue (200,000+) spots first and just add the Pendulum Clock (150,000) to the value. The only silhouettes with a 200,000+ candidate are the Suitcase (3×2) and the Cascade (2×2), so count just those two by their odds

Gem — the Eternal Heart's 1×1, the Stringblade's 3×1

If Gem opens and there's no 1×1 silhouette, the board has no Eternal Heart either; a 3×1 is almost always a trap, but rarely it's the Stringblade (8.99 million).

  • 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 — the top end of the board's value drops by that much
    • The more 1×1 Gem silhouettes there are, the likelier an Eternal Heart is among them — the chance that any one 1×1 Gem silhouette is the Eternal Heart is about 2.6% in Pearl · 0.5% in Coral
    • In 1.3 you sorted this out with the 1-slot average (Best set), but the 1-slot average device is gone in 1.4
    • Across all boards, the Eternal Heart appears on about 15% of Pearl boards and about 8.8% of Coral boards (1.3 boards). On 1.4 Pearl boards it's 16% — each 1×1 Gem silhouette has low odds on its own, but when several show, the chance that one of them is the Eternal Heart can't be ignored
    Eternal Heart1,314,520
  • There are 16 candidates for a 1×1 Gem — apart from the Eternal Heart, all are traps under 200,000 (even Teardrop (50,000) is 50,000)Teardrop50,000

Tech — the jackpot Data Vault and Pendragon-run savings

For a Tech 2×1, it's sensible to assume it isn't the 70,000 USB drive; a Tech 5×5 is the Orrery, not the Pendragon; and a 3×4 is a confirmed Game Console.

  • The Game Console also shows up often on 1.4 boards — on 15% of Pearl boards · 8.8% of Coral boards
  • 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 collectibles whose value the shape alone decides, and a 3×3 is now either the Snack Box or the jackpot-class Luminous Goblet.

  • 5 confirmed pieces — 1×4 White Dragon King (300,000) · 4×5 Flatbread (202,798) · 4×1 Golden Arowana (111,111) · 4×3 Coco Stripe (101,537) · 2×5 Creamy Berry Baguette (30,452) (New in 1.4)White Dragon King300,000Flatbread202,798Golden Arowana111,111Coco Stripe101,537Creamy Berry Baguette30,452
  • In 1.3 the 3×3 Nine-Bite Snack Box (240,208) was confirmed too. In 1.4 the Luminous Goblet (16,800,000) has come in with the same shape and type, so the 240,000 floor stays, and a jackpot has opened above it — there's no way to lose on itNine-Bite Snack Box240,208Luminous Goblet16,800,000
  • It has the most collectibles whose value the shape alone decides, which makes it the most welcome type for a silhouette reveal
  • The downside it had through 1.3 (nothing jackpot-class · 300,000 at most) is gone in 1.4 — the Luminous Goblet (16.8 million) is Food
  • 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

  • One 9-slot average settles the Luminous Goblet (Best set, 70,000) — there are nine 3×3 collectibles (as of 1.4). Reading the 9-slot average:
    • On boards with a Luminous Goblet, the 9-slot average is at least 4,200,000 (5,680,000 in Coral)
    • On boards without one, the 9-slot average is at most 260,000 (a single Ghostfire Wisp, the most expensive 3×3)
    • → If the 9-slot average is over 260,000, it's the Goblet; otherwise it isn't there. The gap is wide, so there's no room for confusion
  • The 9-slot average is really worth using only when Food opens and a 3×3 is marked as Food. No Food 3×3 means no Luminous Goblet either (the Goblet only comes as a Food 3×3)
  • On real 1.4 Pearl boards, the Snack Box showed up on 10% and the Luminous Goblet on 0.4% (Coral: the Snack Box on 7.5%) — a Food 3×3 is usually the Snack Box, but the Luminous Goblet really does show up
  • The Baguette appeared on 16% of 1.4 Pearl boards · 14% of Coral boards

Daily Goods — home of the Pendragon

A Daily Goods 5×5 has a floor of 500,000 — if no 5×5 shows, the board has no Pendragon either; from 1.4 the 1×1 includes the Cloudveil Cup.

  • 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 M1000 Model (4,081) — both are traps under 200,000
    • Conversely, a Daily Goods 4×4 silhouette also tells you that this 4×4 is not the Golden Koi Statue (22 million) — the only 4×4 collectibles are 2 Daily Goods + 3 Anomaly
    K01 Model59,440M1000 Model4,081
  • In 2×2, the only one over 200,000 is the ceiling, Preserved Flower Wreath (200,201) (200,000) — Brand-New Limited Volleyball (88,600) and Double-Neck Jade Bottle - White (80,754) (80,000) are on the trap side too, so if the silhouette shows, count it at around 80,000
    • There are also 3 Purple pieces around 10,000 (Nacupeda Model (10,029), Bunny Box (7,222), Four-Corner Cube (5,955)) — together they're 50% in Pearl, so even at 80,000, about half the time it's a 10,000 piece

  • The Cloudveil Cup (500,000) has joined the 1×1 (1.4) — in 1.3, every Daily Goods 1×1 was a trap under 5,000. As a 1×1, it shares its shape with the common traps
    • The Cloudveil Cup appeared on 14% of 1.4 Pearl boards · 5.6% of Coral boards — in Pearl, if several Daily Goods 1×1 silhouettes show, it's fair to expect one of them to be the Cup

Anomaly — where the most expensive collectible hides

An Anomaly 4×4 is a trap unless it's the Koi (the Crimson Call and Whalesong are both under 200,000) — the floor is 50,000; from 1.4 the 3×1 includes the Pizza.

  • 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
    • Both are under 200,000, so unless it's the Koi, it's a trap — and the Koi is very rare (table below)
    • Still, the floor is high — all three candidates are 50,000 or more, so when you know only the silhouette and not the rarity, treating the floor as 50,000 is the safe bet

  • How to read it
    • Hotori shows you a Food or Gem 1×2 silhouette and the 2-slot average is under 10,000 → that silhouette is a confirmed trap. Don't put any value on it
    • Over 40,000 → a Spicy Snack (280,000) or Traveler's Stone (150,000) is almost certainly somewhere on the board. If it's a 1×2 of the type Hotori opened, that spot is the likely one
    • 20,000–40,000 is about even — narrow it down by whether it matches the type Hotori opened (Spicy Snack if Food, Traveler's Stone if Gem)
  • The Thoth USB Drive (76,000) and Chiming Pendant (79,000) can still turn up, rarely, even when the 2-slot average is under 10,000 (about 3% in Pearl) — for these two, it can't go as far as "not there"Thoth USB Drive76,008Chiming Pendant78,800
  • The 2-slot average covers every 2-slot collectible on the board, including types Hotori didn't open — so it can't point to "which slot", only tell you "there or not"

5R — silhouettes with known rarity

In round 5, what narrows the candidates is color, not type.

Playing Hotori in 1.4 — summary

More silhouettes are confirmed, and the once-ambiguous 1×2 and 2×1 are settled by the 2-slot average Device, Food 3×3 by the 9-slot average Device

  • Count pieces that round 1–3 type silhouettes confirm straight away — Antique Radiant Scepter · Giovanni's Gilded Statue · Antique Pendulum Clock, Gem Lustrous Jade, Tech Orrery · Game Console, Food White Dragon King · Golden Arowana · Creamy Berry Baguette and so onRadiant Scepter288,888Giovanni's Gilded Statue271,827Antique Pendulum Clock150,933Lustrous Jade81,088Orrery51,077Game Console119,211White Dragon King300,000Golden Arowana111,111Creamy Berry Baguette30,452
  • When a 1×2 or 2×1 silhouette shows, use Advanced All-round's 2-slot average to tell whether it's there (under 10,000 = confirmed trap)
  • When a Food 3×3 shows, use the Best set's 9-slot average to check for the Luminous Goblet (over 260,000 = Goblet)
  • If no Daily Goods 5×5 shows there's no Pendragon · an Anomaly 4×4 is a trap unless it's the Koi (the Crimson Call and Whalesong (52,000) are both under 200,000; the floor is 50,000) — same as 1.3Whalesong52,000
  • Set choice: the default for a Pearl Hotori is still the Antique set — Budget Hotori — but to use the 2-slot average you need Advanced All-round (Poker-Face Play (Hotori) uses it), for the Pendragon there's Mega Rarity's Pendragon Run (Hotori), and if you're also after the Goblet, the Best set becomes an option
