Perapera Shīruchō
The Sticker Book. A giant sticker album, 4.2 metres tall, standing half-open in the middle of the tub like a folding screen. Its covers are plastered in deco stickers and its open page faces you. No face: a page corner that curls up is its wink.
Before you go in
The Hug Club, rank 4. The rank’s other bosses: Kanade-sama, Konpei & Tō, Dandan Dango.

That is the gear this fight was tuned for. More gear makes it easier, and good play can win below it. How item level works here.
What it does
Every nine seconds or so it reads your action bar and peels off a move: the one you used most since its last read. The icon flies off your bar onto its page, and the move is locked for a few seconds.
Keep an eye on the lock. Use your other moves meanwhile.
Then it throws your move back at you. It lands as a red on your spot, with your move's sticker spinning at its centre. Your own Shank is a lunge, your Pyre a fire disc.
Walk out of it, as you would any red.
From afar the page flaps a wide lane of red at you.
Step off the lane.
Up close the covers clap shut round it in a big circle.
Walk out of the circle.
It sprays stickers: three red circles on your spot, one after another.
Keep walking.
Later the page corner lashes a wedge of red toward you.
Walk out of the wedge.
How to beat it
- It copies what you use most: Your most-pressed move comes back at you. Know which one it is.
- A gold sticker: Even your ultimate can come back at you, in gold.
- Walk the copy: Every copy is a red you can walk out of.
- Flawless: No copy, flap, clap, spray or lash lands on you.
Every class can win: each attack has a red warning on the floor and can be walked out of. About the Hug Club.
