Hotori — reading value from type silhouettes (1.4)

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.
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

- 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%

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.
| Shape | Candidates (price) | Odds per candidate (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 |
| 2×5 | Antique Pendulum Clock (150,933) | Confirmed | New in 1.4 — Pendulum Clock confirmed (150,000 — under 200,000, so not a big value) |
| 3×2 | Antique Suitcase (577,777) Portrait with Flowers (18,075) | Suitcase 11% / 5% | One of two, but the trap (the Portrait) shows up far more often (8 times as often in Pearl) |
| 2×3 | A Moment's Pause (88,888) Dark Green Vase (2,993) | Moment's Pause 52% / 49% | Both under 200,000 — a trap silhouette; count it at the floor |
| 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 8% · Cascade 0.9% / Starshaker 18% · Cascade under 0.1% | Apart from the Cascade (jackpot), all are traps under 200,000 — even the Starshaker (30,000) counts as a trap |
| 1×3 | Slender Lotus Vase (101,860) Kaleidoscope (21,012) Azure Hairpin (8,065) Broken Blade (3,665) | Lotus Vase 18% / 9% | All four are traps under 200,000 (even the Lotus Vase is 100,000) — don't bet big on this silhouette alone |
| 1×4 | Blue and White Porcelain Vase (62,456) Spring Sheath (15,309) | Porcelain Vase 79% / 38% | Both are traps under 200,000 — in Pearl it's mostly the Porcelain Vase (60,000) |
- 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 trap
A 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
| Shape | Candidates (price) | Odds per candidate (Pearl / Coral) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2×4 | Lustrous Jade (81,088) | Confirmed | Jade confirmed (80,000 — under 200,000) |
| 3×1 | Stringblade (8,989,898) Crown Called Nobility (18,193) DynamiK Triangle (1,822) | Crown 38% · Stringblade 0.9% / Crown 53% · Stringblade 0.1% | New in 1.4 — apart from the Stringblade (jackpot), traps under 20,000; count it at the floor, the jackpot is a bonus |
| 2×1 | Chiming Pendant (78,800) Azure Eye (60,285) Strange Firestone (7,639) | 60,000+ 69% / 60% | All three are traps under 200,000 — the odds of 60,000+ are high, but it's not a silhouette to bet big on; check it with the 2-slot average |
| 1×2 | Traveler's Stone (150,051) Gilded Ring (38,316) Oceanheart Blue (4,590) Aural Crystal (4,481) Little Sparrow (911) | Traveler's Stone 39% / 14% | All five are traps under 200,000 — in Pearl the Traveler's Stone (150,000) is the most common. If the 2-slot average is under 10,000, there's no Traveler's Stone either |
| 1×3 | Scepter Called Prestige (77,777) Beacon Ray (4,034) Smoky Amethyst (3,987) | Prestige 63% / 34% | All three are traps under 200,000 |
- The Stringblade appeared on 0.1% of 1.4 Pearl boards (rarer still in Coral) — rare, but when it hits, it changes the whole board's value
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.
| Shape | Candidates (price) | Odds per candidate (Pearl / Coral) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2×1 | Data Vault (5,121,024) Thoth USB Drive (76,008) · 6 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 12% · Vault 0.2% / USB 6% · Vault 0.1% | Apart from the Data Vault (jackpot), all are traps under 200,000 — even the USB (76,000) is a trap; use the 2-slot average to tell whether it's there |
| 3×2 | Unknown Access Card (366,112) Portable Folding Screen (239,342) Digital Camera (18,363) Starseeker Telescope (18,317) Navigator's Telescope (4,840) | Red 39% / 20% | 3 traps under 20,000 — no fixed floor, but a Red is 200,000+ (Access Card 370,000 · Folding Screen 240,000), so bet selectively |
| 4×3 | Canned Imaginadough (124,816) LCD TV (8,135) | Imaginadough 76% / 40% | Both are traps under 200,000 — the Imaginadough (120,000) is the more common one |
| 2×3 | Camera (76,591) Cubox Technologies Tablet (11,038) Wake-up Wham (4,843) Soul Snatcher (3,598) | Camera 40% / 23% | All four are traps under 200,000 |
| 5×5 | Orrery (51,077) | Confirmed | The only Tech 5×5 — 50,000, a confirmed trap |
| 3×4 | Game Console (119,211) | Confirmed | New in 1.4 — Game Console confirmed (120,000 — under 200,000) |
- 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)

Little Oink Bank500,001

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)

Creamy 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 it
Nine-Bite Snack Box240,208
Luminous 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
Definitely-Fished-This-Myself Fish9,952
| Shape | Candidates (price) | Odds per candidate (Pearl / Coral) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3×3 | Nine-Bite Snack Box (240,208) Luminous Goblet (16,800,000) | Snack Box 97% · Goblet 3.4% / Snack Box 99.5% · Goblet 0.5% | Floor 240,000 — sort it out with the 9-slot average (below) |
| 1×2 | Cool-lala Spicy Snack (280,000) Golden Hash Browns (7,463) Baking Buddies Matcha Powder (1,353) Chiyo Family Brew (1,046) Fresh Egg (178) | Spicy Snack 51% / 13% | 4 traps — in Pearl it's the Spicy Snack (280,000) more than half the time, in Coral the odds are against you. Check it with the 2-slot average |
| 2×3 | Frost Iron Symphony (80,608) Sea Salt Deep in the Heart (30,211) | Symphony 20% / 18% | Both are traps under 200,000 — count it at the 30,000 floor |
| 2×5 | Creamy Berry Baguette (30,452) | Confirmed | New in 1.4 — Baguette confirmed (30,000, a trap) |
| 5×5 | Definitely-Fished-This-Myself Fish (9,952) | Confirmed | Confirmed trap — not the Pendragon, so save 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 own
Little 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 Model59,440
M1000 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
Preserved Flower Wreath200,201
Brand-New Limited Volleyball88,600
Double-Neck Jade Bottle - White80,754
Nacupeda Model10,029
Bunny Box7,222
Four-Corner Cube5,955 - 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
Cloudveil Cup500,000
| Shape | Candidates (price) | Odds per candidate (Pearl / Coral) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5×5 | Pendragon Model (20,171,210) Little Oink Bank (500,001) | Oink Bank 92% · Pendragon 8% / Oink Bank 99% · Pendragon 1% | Floor 500,000 — no 5×5 means no Pendragon |
| 4×4 | K01 Model (59,440) M1000 Model (4,081) | K01 10% / 33% | Both are traps under 200,000 — it isn't the Koi |
| 2×2 | Preserved Flower Wreath (200,201) Brand-New Limited Volleyball (88,600) Double-Neck Jade Bottle - White (80,754) Nacupeda Model (10,029) Bunny Box (7,222) Four-Corner Cube (5,955) | 80,000+ 50% / 44% | Only the Wreath (200,000) barely clears 200,000; the other five are traps — count it at around 80,000 |
| 1×1 | Cloudveil Cup (500,000) Light Cube (5,041) Rainbow Capsule (2,011) Bouncy Ball (1,992) Manga (1,114) Bouncy Ball (548) | Cup 22% / 2% | New in 1.4 — about one in five in Pearl; in Coral it's almost always a trap |
- The table's Pendragon 8% is the share when a 5×5 Daily Goods silhouette is already showing — across all boards, boards holding a jackpot like the Pendragon (Pearl board value 5,000,000+) are only about 2%. So until a 5×5 shows, don't bet on the Pendragon
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 all
Golden 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
Whalesong52,000
Crimson Call101,554 - In 3×3, the only one over 200,000 is Ghostfire Wisp (260,000) — Thud-Thud Hammer (100,000) and the two cheap ones are traps
Ghostfire Wisp260,423
Thud-Thud Hammer100,000 - 4×1 has Crystal Tail (100,000) and Doodle Board (3,502) — both traps under 200,000
Crystal Tail101,403
Doodle Board3,502 - From 1.4 the 3×1 is Favorite Pizza (29,977) · Weather Guide (15,024) · Knight Decal (12,164) — all three are 10,000–30,000 traps, so the floor is 12,000, and it only matters on small boards

| 4×1 | Crystal Tail (101,403) Doodle Board (3,502) | Tail 78% / 47% | Both are traps under 200,000 — in Pearl it's usually the Tail (100,000) |
| 3×1 | Favorite Pizza (29,977) Weather Guide (15,024) Knight Decal (12,164) | Pizza 19% · Weather Guide 30% · Decal 52% / Pizza 28% · Weather Guide 22% · Decal 50% | New in 1.4 — all three are traps under 200,000; floor 12,000 |
| 1×1 | "Geometric" Decor (61,803) plus 12 traps | Geometric 11% / 4% | Everything up to the Geometric Decor (60,000) is a trap under 200,000 |
- The Koi 1.1% is also the share when a 4×4 Anomaly silhouette is showing — across all boards the Koi is one of the jackpots, so it's far rarer
- The Pizza appeared on 12% of 1.4 Pearl boards · 7.5% of Coral boards
- The Daily Goods 4×4 (K01, trap) and the Anomaly 4×4 (Koi, Crimson Call, Whalesong) share a shape — knowing the type splits the 4×4 candidates into a group of two or three
- A 3×3 can also be checked with the 9-slot average — if the Ghostfire Wisp (260,000) is there, the 9-slot average jumps sharply (it's mixed with the other 9-slot collectibles, so one reading alone isn't conclusive)
2-slot average — the new Device that sorts out 1×2 and 2×1 silhouettes
If the 2-slot average is under 10,000, there's no Spicy Snack, Traveler's Stone or Data Vault; over 40,000, there almost certainly is.
- The 1×2 and 2×1 silhouettes that were "50/50 on the odds" in 1.3 can be sorted out in 1.4 with the 2-slot average — it comes in Advanced All-round (25,000)
- Food 1×2 = Cool-lala Spicy Snack (280,000) + 4 cheap ones · Gem 1×2 = Traveler's Stone (150,051) · Gilded Ring (38,316) + 3 cheap ones · Tech 2×1 = Thoth USB Drive (76,008) · Data Vault (5,121,024) + 6 cheap ones · Gem 2×1 = Chiming Pendant (78,800) · Azure Eye (60,285) · Strange Firestone (7,639)

Strange Firestone7,639 - The 2-slot average (the average of every 2-slot collectible on the board, rounded down) against the chance that a Spicy Snack, Traveler's Stone or Data Vault is on the board:
| 2-slot average | Pearl: share of boards → one of the three present | Coral: share of boards → one of the three present |
|---|---|---|
| Under 10,000 | 24% → 0% | 61% → 0% |
| 10,000–20,000 | 18% → 12% (mostly the Traveler's Stone) | 21% → 5% |
| 20,000–40,000 | 25% → 80% | 12% → 52% |
| 40,000–80,000 | 27% → 99% | 5% → 95% |
| 80,000 or more | 6% → 100% (Vault 5%) | 1% → 100% |
- 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 Drive76,008
Chiming 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.
- You get color + shape, so unlike the type silhouettes, color rather than type does the narrowing
- Example: Red 2×2 = Azure Cascade · Starshaker · Preserved Flower Wreath · Brand-New Limited Volleyball — even without the type, only four Red candidates remain
Azure Cascade11,235,813
Starshaker31,618
Preserved Flower Wreath200,201
Brand-New Limited Volleyball88,600 - The new 1.4 shapes are settled by color alone — Red 2×5 = Antique Pendulum Clock, Gold 2×5 = Creamy Berry Baguette, Red 3×4 = Game Console
Antique Pendulum Clock150,933
Creamy Berry Baguette30,452
Game Console119,211 - Shapes where 1.4 added Red candidates — 3×1 = Stringblade · Favorite Pizza, 3×3 = Nine-Bite Snack Box · Luminous Goblet · Ghostfire Wisp · Thud-Thud Hammer, 1×1 = Eternal Heart · Cloudveil Cup · "Geometric" Decor · Chaotic Core · Teardrop
- A Red 3×1 is somewhere between 8.99 million and 30,000 — if that slot's type was already opened in rounds 1–3, the color together with the type narrows it to one (the Stringblade if Gem, the Pizza if Anomaly)

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 on

Creamy 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 1.3
Whalesong52,000 - 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




Poker-Face Play (Hotori)1.4PearlQuietly gather candidates with Hotori's type silhouettes → confirm with Collectible (Large) in whichever of 2R, 3R or 4R high-value candidates show up → once confirmed, snipe high that round — Hotori's mind-game strategyAdvanced All-round




Pendragon Run (Hotori)1.31.4PearlWhen Hotori opens Daily Goods, use Collectible (Special) on the 5×5 silhouette → all-in if it's the Pendragon (20.17M), play off a 500k floor if it's the Little Oink Bank — a Pendragon-hunting Hotori strategyMega Rarity
