Tips
- ·Use it in the Shell Hall, where board values are small, to save on information costs.
- ·Collectible (Mini) picks just 1 collectible at random, so it rarely hits an expensive piece — get the big picture of the board with Size (Mini) first.
How it looks on the board
Show details ▾
- Size — silhouette
The collectible's size and shape appear on the board as a gray shape. You don't know its color or identity yet, so every collectible of that shape is a candidate (in Auction Simulator, click the slot to see the candidate list). It picks at random among collectibles whose silhouette you don't know yet.
- Rarity — color
Tells you a collectible's color (rarity). If you already know its shape, the silhouette is painted in that color; if not, the color shows on just one of the slots it takes — so a single colored slot may be a real 1×1 collectible or one slot of a bigger one. Guess the shape from the empty slots around it.
- Collectible — identity
The picture is revealed, so you learn the identity and even the price. It picks at random, so it can land on a collectible whose identity you already know (seen with a character ability or an earlier round's device) — and that pick gives no new information.
What each item reveals
| Item | Target | Reveals | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rarity (Mini) | 2 items at random | Color (rarity) | 500 |
| Size (Mini) | 4 items at random | Silhouette | 1,000 |
| Collectible (Mini) | one at random | Collectible identity | 500 |
You bring one device set per match, and each item can be used once, one item per round. You can use it after that round's Auctioneer and character information is revealed and before you place your bid.
You buy a set once at the set price, and items you use in a match are restocked at each item's price — so a match costs you the items you used. The amount next to a set's name is the set price (what it costs to refill it after using every item). Average-price readings are whole numbers with the decimals dropped.
