- Tequila voice by Hono (weight 0.17): Tequila is voiced by Hono, which is noted by players as a notable casting choice.
- Red wine barrel characters released (weight 0.17): The long-awaited red wine barrel characters are finally available, satisfying player demand.
- Tsih BGM praised (weight 0.17): Tsih's background music is considered pretty and fitting, with vibes from her original games.
- Tequila BGM epic (weight 0.17): Tequila's background music is described as epic, adding to the overall atmosphere.
- Rat Pirate character playable (weight 0.17): The DLC allows players to play as the Rat Pirate character, which is a notable addition.
- Female character gift card attack (weight 0.17): A female character's attack increases by 2 when owning a gift card, providing a strategic advantage.
- Male character evasion expert (weight 0.17): A male character can become an evasion expert by using stat reverse in battle, adding tactical depth.

Common complaints:
- Tsih is poorly designed (weight 0.97): Tsih suffers from weak starting stats, an underwhelming attack boost, and a fragile evasive playstyle. Her kit relies on hunting rare gift cards and her Hyper often fails due to unlucky rolls, making her difficult to use effectively.
- Tequila is overpowered (weight 0.52): Tequila's stats, passives, and Hyper create a nearly inapproachable kit that dominates combat effortlessly. Wins with Tequila feel unearned, and opposing Tequilas are frustrating enough to warrant a 3v1 strategy.
- Gift card mechanic is problematic (weight 0.5): Gift cards are rare and come with inherent drawbacks, making Tsih's retrieval strategy reliant on randomness. Adding many gift cards to the deck can help, but it remains an inconsistent and inconvenient mechanic.
- Pirate crew lacks polish (weight 0.47): Players cannot select a pirate minion as their personal appearance, and no pirate minion voice is present in the overall narration. Additionally, the pirate crew's attack power scales with damage taken, which may feel unbalanced.
- Character stats are underwhelming (weight 0.37): The character's base stats are bottom-tier except for three NPCs, and the male character's evasion is a significant factor that needs consideration. These weak stats contribute to an overall lack of strength.
- Gimmicky passives harm characters (weight 0.22): Both characters were implemented poorly, following a downward trend of relying on gimmicky passives. This design approach makes them feel unfun and poorly integrated into the game.
- Characters are the worst (weight 0.22): Players describe these as quite literally the worst characters they have ever played. This strong negative sentiment highlights significant dissatisfaction with the character designs.
- Hyper has unclear descriptions (weight 0.21): The Hyper and Hyper-summoned flying thief trap card descriptions do not clearly explain their mechanics. This lack of clarity leaves players confused about how these abilities function in practice.
- Tequila's Hyper is overcosted (weight 0.21): Tequila's only weakness is a Hyper that is too costly for its lackluster effects, though this can be easily repaired with the right deck. This minor flaw does little to diminish his overall dominance.
- Hyper is rarely triggered (weight 0.2): The Hyper is never seen because opponents never step on it, making it effectively useless in many matches. This lack of interaction reduces the strategic value of the ability.
- Repetitive and annoying voice lines (weight 0.2): Tsih's voice lines are repetitive, shrill, and annoying, detracting from the overall game experience. This issue is a common complaint among players who use the character.
- Unclear minion star mechanics (weight 0.2): There is a need for clarification on whether stars stolen by minions go to the boss. This ambiguity affects gameplay understanding and strategy.

Gameplay feedback:
- Tequila spawns fighting pirate crew (weight 0.68): Tequila's Hyper throws pirate crew members onto random board spots, and these crew can fight other players, replacing Seagull, Chicken, and Roboball. The crew can also be used for robbery via cannon card, and their defeats give treasures directly to Tequila.
- DLC adds playable characters (weight 0.65): The game offers DLC or character packs that introduce additional playable characters for variety. Some players note that these DLC characters may have balance issues.
- Tsih relies on gift cards (weight 0.65): Tsih permanently gains +2 ATK as long as she holds a gift card, and she relies on hunting down gift cards to secure an attack boost. Her base stats are low attack, low defense, but high evasion, making her a glass cannon.
- Tequila attack scales with damage (weight 0.45): Tequila gains +1 attack for each HP lost in battle, but the bonus resets when he leaves battle. This mechanic also applies to his pirate crew enemies, who gain extra attack power based on damage taken.
- Tequila defensive stats and kit (weight 0.45): Tequila has low evasion but decent defense, and his stats, passives, and hyper create a kit of near inapproachability. He excels in combat, particularly defensively, making him a strong defensive character.
- Tsih stealth hyper mechanic (weight 0.33): Tsih's Hyper activates stealth mode, making her untargetable by Boost cards or battles for 3 chapters. She can still target another player and gains +2 ATK for that battle, but stealth deactivates afterward.
- Hyper as board trap (weight 0.31): Hyper is a mechanic that can be set as a trap, triggered when opponents step on it. It can be combined with character traits to allow others to move ahead and then kill with 2 attack.
- Tsih hyper uniquely powerful (weight 0.18): Tsih's hyper is uniquely powerful in certain circumstances, providing significant advantages in specific situations. This makes her a high-risk, high-reward character.
- Tequila requires team effort (weight 0.18): When facing opposing Tequila players, games often require a 3v1 effort to take him down due to his defensive capabilities. This indicates that Tequila can be overpowered in certain matchups.
- Tequila hyper places traps (weight 0.18): Tequila's Hyper places traps like Krila that function similarly to Invasion, with the landing player facing a crew member who attacks first. This makes his hyper a powerful board control tool.
- Stat reverse evasion expert (weight 0.17): Stat reverse in battle can make the male character an evasion expert, turning a weakness into a strength. This mechanic adds depth to combat strategy.
- Captain has low evasion (weight 0.17): Captain has an evasion stat of -3, making him particularly vulnerable to attacks. This low evasion is a notable weakness for the character.
- Self-repair enables counterattack (weight 0.17): Self-repair allows a character to defend and then counterattack, providing a tactical advantage. This mechanic can turn the tide of battle.
- Tequila fights enemy crew (weight 0.17): Tequila never fights his own crew, but he will fight enemy crew if another Tequila is present. This interaction adds a unique dynamic in mirror matches.
- Pirate boss summons star-stealing minions (weight 0.17): The pirate boss's hyper summons minions that can steal stars from opponents. This provides a way to disrupt opponents' resources.
- Counterplay against Tequila exists (weight 0.17): Optimal counterplay and matchups against Tequila exist, allowing players to effectively combat his defensive strategies. This suggests that despite his strengths, he is not unbeatable.
- Healing cards recommended (weight 0.16): Players recommend including healing cards in the deck to sustain characters during battles. This is a common strategy advice for deck building.
- Final duel is gamble (weight 0.16): The final duel can be a gamble, with outcomes often determined by luck rather than skill. This adds unpredictability to the endgame.
- Invasion cards increase kills (weight 0.16): Invasion cards increase the chances of killing minions, providing a strategic advantage in battles. This is a useful tactic for players focusing on minion control.
- Flying thief trap card exists (weight 0.16): A hyper-summoned flying thief trap card exists, adding another layer to trap-based strategies. This card can catch opponents off guard.
