May 26th, 2023 Update Patch Notes

The Onmyoji Arena May 26th, 2023 Update sees new Ninja shikigami Hoshiguma Doji make his debut on the Heian-kyo battlefield.

The in-game Jade price is not updated in real time based on recent exchange rate fluctuations, resulting in discrepancies between the displayed price and the actual payment amount. We kindly remind all Onmyoji to carefully check order details before confirming payments.

New shikgami Hoshiguma Doji

“Oh dear, oh dear. Onmyoji who have no faith in each other are so easy to deceive. As long as you pretend to be an innocent bystander, they will believe everything you say.”

Hoshiguma Doji is a highly flexible Ninja shikigami who deals burst damage. Despite being a demon, he is different from Shuten Doji and Ibaraki Doji. He takes no pleasure in defeating enemies and is good at fooling them with words and wit.

He can observe the battle situation up close with Wine Demon’s help, select a suitable position from which to enter the fray, and use words to annoy or make enemies fall into a Confused state and attack their teammates. After wreaking havoc on the battlefield, he can throw out wine jars to mislead the enemies and leave unscathed. Sealing enemies may please him for a time, but fooling them brings him the greatest joy life.

Hoshiguma Doji

Trait: Tipsy Tongue

When hitting an enemy shikigami with his abilities, Hoshiguma Doji will make them Agitated. Use the ability again on the target at the max level of Agitated to deal bonus damage.

Ability 1: Heed My Words

Hoshiguma Doji launches blockable verbal attacks in the designated direction, dealing damage to enemies across an arc. Repeatedly hitting the same shikigami reduces the subsequent damage dealt by verbal attacks.

Verbal attacks can be reserved up to 2 times.

Ability 2: Hide and Seek

Hoshiguma Doji throws wine bowls in all directions and then hides in one of them. After a short delay, the wine bowls explode to deal AoE damage.

Using this ability again will end the hiding status.

Ability 3: Avatar of Wine Demon

Hoshiguma Doji conjures a Wine Demon and controls its movement. During this period, the Wine Demon gains a substantial Movement Speed Bonus. Using the ability again teleports Hoshiguma Doji to the Wine Demon’s position, dealing damage to and inflicting a Slow effect on enemies in range before and after the teleportation. If Hoshiguma Doji deals damage to enemy shikigami or monsters while teleporting, he will gain a bonus shield.

Ability 4: Enemy in the Bowl

Hoshiguma Doji throws a wine bowl in the designated direction, dealing damage to enemies along the path. Upon reaching the maximum distance, it explodes after a short delay, dealing a small amount of damage to enemies in range and inflicting a Stun effect.

If it hits an enemy shikigami, it inflicts a Scapegoat effect on them. After a short delay, it immobilizes the target with the Scapegoat effect and inflicts a Confused effect on nearby enemies, compelling them to attack the target with the Scapegoat effect.

This week sees Hoshiguma Doji make his debut on the Heian-kyo battlefield.

The Hoshiguma Doji Selection Pack will also be available in the General Store. The selection pack includes the new shikigami Hoshiguma Doji, his Dyed Skin Wakakusa, Evolved Form Amulet x1, Taichi Mudra x1, and Witchery Bell x8. You can select which to purchase! The Hoshiguma Doji Selection Pack will be available till 11:59 PM on 6/8/2023. Don’t miss out on this chance to get Hoshiguma Doji!
