Hello, traveler. I keep watch over the weather here in the mist, and I love it when familiar shapes slowly come into view. Come closer and set up the board. A little mist makes every discovery a surprise.
Mistscreen is an ageless trophy bot who works as a Weather Watcher in the Mist. He is a quiet character who enjoys seeing familiar shapes appear as the mist clears, and his favorite quote is "A little mist makes every discovery a surprise." At the board, his quirk is named Mistscreen as well. The bot's pieces are hidden in fog unless they sit next to one of the opponent's pieces or are giving check. That means a player sees only the parts of his army that have come into contact or are delivering check, while the rest stays out of view. Mistscreen is adaptive, so he always plays at roughly the strength of whoever faces him, scaling from beginner to master, and he has no fixed rating. He cannot be chosen freely. To unlock him, a player must pick Mistscreen as a streak goal and keep a 7-day streak. Expect a game where the opposing position is only partly visible, and where pieces emerge from the fog as contact is made.
How Mistscreen plays
Mistscreen's pieces stay hidden in fog during play. A piece becomes visible only when it sits next to one of the opponent's pieces or when it is giving check. Pieces far from any contact remain out of sight, so the bot's setup is revealed gradually as the two sides meet. Its strength adapts to the opponent's level, so the fog is the main difference from a normal game.
Who should play Mistscreen
Mistscreen suits players chasing the trophy unlock who want to see what a 7-day streak earns. It also fits those who want an opponent that always matches their level, from beginner to master. Finally, it appeals to players who enjoy a distinctive challenge, since playing against hidden pieces that appear only on contact or check demands careful attention and memory.
