- Puppet master and puppets are fun (weight 0.22): The puppet master is very fun to play, and the angel and devil puppets are just as good as the old ones, adding to the enjoyment.
- Yuuki's Devil Hand deals with tanks (weight 0.15): Yuuki's Devil Hand Hyper is an extremely powerful tool for dealing with tanks and high-health characters, making her a strong counter.
- Yuuki is terrifying when mastered (weight 0.15): When mastered, Yuuki can be a terrifying force on the battlefield, capable of dominating matches with her versatile toolkit.
- Islay's Hyper is overpowered (weight 0.14): Some players consider Islay's Hyper to be overpowered due to its ability to eliminate key targets efficiently.
- Yuuki's redesign is well-received (weight 0.13): Yuuki's redesign is considered good by players, improving the character's appeal and gameplay.
- Islay's gameplay is passive but efficient (weight 0.13): Islay's gameplay is noted as passive but efficient, focusing on opportunistic plays rather than aggressive rushing.

Common complaints:
- Islay cannot initiate combat (weight 0.62): Islay is unable to fight units she encounters on the map, including challenging other players, which prevents her from stopping on desired panels and farming kills. This passive ability removes significant player agency, making her difficult to play effectively.
- Yuuki is weak and fragile (weight 0.46): Yuuki is generally a weak unit, fragile in Bully mode and prone to scratch damage in Tank mode. Her Devil Hand is unreliable and may harm the user, making her hard to profit with.
- Islay's Hyper frustrates and underperforms (weight 0.37): Islay's Hyper card feels incompatible with some playstyles, and its animation of a plane flying back and forth looks silly. A 1-HP Poppo can even dodge it via dice roll, causing frustration.
- Yuuki's mode control issues (weight 0.37): Yuuki cannot choose which mode she is in, so enemies can exploit this by attacking when she is tanky and taking her out when defenses are weak. Her mode changes are hard to control, making it difficult to use her to her fullest potential.
- Yuuki's angel design controversial (weight 0.33): Yuuki's angel character swears, which some find out of place, disgusting, or even sacrilegious. The old puppets for Yuuki were also removed.
- Characters are weak and hyper-dependent (weight 0.33): Characters are weak and hyper-dependent, and the Hypers are considered garbage by some.
- Islay requires DLC to play (weight 0.26): Islay must have specific card pack DLCs to function properly, and without them she struggles to win under normal conditions. This pay-to-play aspect limits her accessibility.
- Islay struggles in peaceful games (weight 0.26): In peaceful games, Islay can do very little, and star collectors like Poppo and Aru can easily dominate her without her Hyper. Her passive leaves her unable to take meaningful actions.
- HP display is inaccurate (weight 0.16): HP amount is lied about: displayed as 5 but is actually 4.
- Yuuki has steep learning curve (weight 0.15): Yuuki has a steep learning curve and can be taken advantage of by experienced players, making her hard to play effectively.
- Islay overpowered and boring (weight 0.15): Islay is overpowered and too boring to play for most, according to some feedback.
- Nobody plays Yuuki (weight 0.14): A reviewer noted that nobody plays Yuuki, indicating low popularity.

Gameplay feedback:
- Yuuki's stats alternate by chapter (weight 0.97): Yuuki's base stats change based on odd/even chapters: in odd chapters she gains -1 ATK and +2 DEF, while in even chapters she gains +2 ATK and -1 DEF. This requires careful timing and destination choice.
- Islay cannot initiate battles (weight 0.84): Islay's passive prevents her from fighting rivals when encountering them by rolling dice or issuing challenges. This limits her ability to easily kill low-HP rivals without using her hyper.
- Yuuki's hyper effects (weight 0.67): Yuuki's hyper randomly picks a player (including herself) and sets their HP to 1 in Devil mode, or heals a chosen unit to full HP in Angel mode, gaining stars equal to 10x HP lost or healed. The hyper also changes each chapter.
- Islay's hyper enables targeted combat (weight 0.54): Islay's hyper, Rival, allows her to choose any target on the board, start a fight, go first, and gain +1 ATK. It is crucial for her to initiate battles and steal stars from low-HP rivals.
- Islay's base stats and cost (weight 0.52): Islay has the same stats as Sherry: 5 HP, +1 ATK, +1 DEF, +1 EVD, 5 REC. Her hyper costs level 3 and 30 stars, making it a significant investment.
- Hyper attacks can fail (weight 0.33): Using hyper to steal kills from low-HP opponents often fails when they dodge, but against low-resistance opponents it can produce instant kills. Dice rolls determine whether a hyper connects.
- Islay's peaceful playstyle viable (weight 0.32): Playing peacefully with Islay can work because she is not aggressive without her hyper. Her passive but efficient playstyle allows for strategic positioning.
- Yuuki's turn-based mode switching (weight 0.3): Yuuki alternates every other turn between a tank mode and an offensive mode, requiring players to adapt their strategy each turn.
- Yuuki playable and in packs (weight 0.28): The player can play as Yuuki, and she is included in unit packs along with a puppet master character.
- Yuuki's base stats (weight 0.25): Yuuki has 4 HP, 0 ATK, 0 DEF, 0 EVD, and 5 REC. Her low base stats make her rely heavily on hyper and stat changes.
- Deck building for Islay (weight 0.23): Islay's deck must be built with cards that force opponents to battle her, such as Assault, Ambush, Path Blockers, and Traps, to offset her combat disadvantage.
- Characters rely on hypers (weight 0.15): The characters are designed to rely heavily on their hypers, as seen with Islay and Yuuki. Their base abilities are limited without hyper usage.
- Rival Ella knocks players away (weight 0.13): The player frequently gets knocked away by the rival Ella, indicating a challenging AI opponent.
- Yuuki's high star gain (weight 0.12): A player reported gaining 489 stars with Yuuki, indicating her potential for high star accumulation through her hyper.
- Islay's hyper visual effect (weight 0.11): Islay's hyper has an airplane flying back-and-forth visual effect, adding a unique animation to her ability.
