Overview
Misty Tipsy Style is the second limited character banner of Version 1.0. The featured character is Hotori, the S-Class Cosmos support and proprietress of the Eibon Antique Shop. The banner runs for three weeks from May 13, 2026 at 10:00 UTC+8 through June 3, 2026 at 05:59:59 UTC+8, taking the Version 1.0 lineup from the Phase 1 (Nanally) close into the version-end ceremony. Like every limited banner, Misty Tipsy Style uses the Scarborough Fair board format and the No 50/50 System: every S-Class pulled from the banner is guaranteed to be Hotori.

Featured Character
Hotori is the proprietress of the Eibon Antique Shop and the premier support pick at launch. Her core mechanic is the Non-Closed Timepiece, a kit feature that powers a time-stop ultimate freezing enemy actions for the duration. Her Misty Moon Style basic attacks chain with a concealed umbrella katana, and she replays recorded teammate attacks during the time-stop window for additional damage.
Hotori was unplayable during all three closed beta tests and received a significant design refresh between earlier showcases and her final launch presentation. Her launch kit emphasises support utility, healing through her timepiece energy mechanic, and burst damage windows that align with the time-stop ultimate.
Cosmetic Milestones
Misty Tipsy Style carries the standard limited-banner cosmetic milestone counter. The cosmetics are themed around Hotori's Eibon Antique Shop and Misty Moon Style aesthetic.
Pull Milestone | Reward | Notes |
|---|---|---|
50 pulls | Glider skin | Banner-themed glider livery |
120 pulls | Vehicle skin | Themed vehicle livery |
200 pulls | Hotori alternate outfit | Hotori-specific outfit, separate from the standard rotation. Specific name not announced ahead of banner launch. |
The cosmetic milestone counter is independent of the 70/90 pity track and is retained for Misty Tipsy Style specifically across reruns.
Pull Strategy
Hotori complements Nanally as a support and healer rather than a main DPS. Players who pulled Nanally on Phase 1 can build their full launch core by adding Hotori; players who skipped Nanally in favour of saving for Hotori still benefit from the no-50/50 guarantee on their first S-Class drop.
Pity carries over from The Ichi-daime. A player who fell short on Nanally without hitting hard pity keeps elevated rates for Hotori, narrowing the dice cost of the second pull.
Save Annulith if you plan to pull both. Pulling 90 times on each banner requires roughly 180 Solid Dice; combining launch rewards, pre-registration, and the launch login event puts most active players within range of two pity ceilings.
Pull on the Arc banner only after securing Hotori. Her signature Arc rotates onto the Arc Research Program during Misty Tipsy Style; pulling for the Arc before the character leaves the weapon without an optimal user.
Whisker Patrol overlaps with the final week of Misty Tipsy Style. Save the 200 Annulith reward from Whisker Patrol for the closing pity push.
Tips
Use Hotori's time-stop ultimate during boss Break windows for maximum damage layering. Hotori replays recorded teammate attacks during the freeze, which compounds with the boss's increased damage taken state.
Pair Hotori with high-tempo on-field DPS. Nanally, Baicang, or Daffodil all generate enough hits during the time-stop window to maximise the replay damage.
Build Hotori's Cosmos sub-stat alongside support stats. The healing and time-stop scale primarily off her energy regeneration and Cosmos damage; she is not a hypercarry, so pure offense investment is wasted.
Watch for the A-Class rate-ups announcement. Featured A-Class characters on Misty Tipsy Style have not been published as of the banner pre-launch window; the official channels will confirm them in the days before May 13.
