Package Contents Breakdown
S-Tier Blooming Augury Costume
Premium visual redesign with custom animations, sound effects, and color palettes. Individual pricing: 2888 Echoes or 12888 Fragments.
Fragment grind reality: 12888 Fragments = 16-26 months for active F2P players (500-800 Fragments monthly from dailies/events).
S-Tier seasonal exclusives maintain long-term value due to rarity and visual impact. They rarely return post-event.
A-Tier Lovesick Heart Accessory
Thematic complement to Blooming Augury. Individual pricing: 1068 Echoes or 3888 Fragments.
Accessories enhance appearance without replacing base costume designs. More accessible to F2P (3888 Fragments vs 12888).
Value Math
- Individual total: 3956 Echoes (2888 + 1068)
- Package price: 2688 Echoes
- Savings: 1268 Echoes (32%)
Key insight: Even if you only want the S-Tier costume, the package costs 200 Echoes less than buying it alone (2688 vs 2888)—you get the accessory free plus save 200 Echoes.
The 2688 Echoes Investment
Value Ratio Analysis
Identity V pricing hierarchy:
- S-Tier costumes: 2888 Echoes
- A-Tier costumes: 1068-1388 Echoes
- Accessories: 388-1068 Echoes
The 1268 Echo savings = ~45% of another A-Tier costume. Mathematically superior to individual purchases.
Usage caveat: Value diminishes if you never equip the accessory. Still saves 200 Echoes on the costume alone.
Individual vs Bundle Comparison
Spyglass route isn't viable—accumulating 1000 Spyglasses (needed for S-Tier) is mathematically impossible within 21 days using only event rewards (max 50 Spyglasses from free sources).
Echo-based package = most efficient path for both items.
First-Time Purchase Bonus
First Echo purchase doubles the amount. 2688 Echoes becomes 5376 Echoes for new spenders—effectively half-price.
Strategy: Time your first purchase for this event. 5376 Echoes covers the package (2688) plus additional items (2688 remaining).
For secure transactions near the March 4 deadline, top up Identity V Echoes for Valentine event via reliable platforms guaranteeing instant delivery.
Is It Worth It? Decision Framework
F2P Players
Echo accumulation: 100-300 monthly = 9-27 months to afford 2688 Echoes passively.
Fragment alternative: 12888 Fragments for S-Tier = 16-26 months of active play.
Opportunity cost: 12888 Fragments could buy multiple A-Tier costumes (3888-4888 each) for characters you play more.
Recommendation: Prioritize free event rewards (80 Clues, portraits). Only purchase if Enchantress is your main and you've saved Fragments long-term.
Moderate Spenders
Budget: 2000-5000 Echoes per major event. The 2688 package fits comfortably.
ROI: 1268 Echo savings funds supplementary purchases (Send Flowers emotes at 98 Echoes each, or contributes toward Mechanic costume).
First-time bonus impact: Doubles value for new spenders (5376 Echoes total).
Key question: How often do you play Enchantress? If she's <10% of your matches, value drops significantly.
Recommendation: Buy if Enchantress is in your regular rotation and you like the design.
Collectors
Exclusivity factor: Valentine's cosmetics from 2025-2025 haven't returned. Assume this is one-time availability.
Total event cost (complete collection):
- Fluttering Heart Package: 2688
- Mechanic Everlasting Flowers: 2888
- Psychologist Layla: 1388
- The Ripper Rose Cane (Blue): 388
- Send Flowers emotes (3 variants): 294
- Total: ~7646 Echoes
Package = 35% of total collector expenditure. The 32% discount becomes more significant for complete event participation.
Recommendation: Strong buy for completionists. Limited window + historical non-return pattern = high regret potential if skipped.
Competitive Players
Mechanical impact: Zero. Cosmetics provide no gameplay advantages.
Psychological factors: Distinctive S-Tier costumes can intimidate opponents and boost personal confidence. Intangible benefits vary by player.
Visual clarity: Some S-Tier designs introduce visual noise. Preview in Illusion Hall before purchasing.
Meta relevance: Enchantress maintains consistent viability as support survivor with strong kiting potential.
Recommendation: Buy only if you regularly draft Enchantress in ranked (20%+ selection rate). Otherwise, invest Echoes in cosmetics for your actual mains.

March 4 Deadline: Critical Info
Post-Event Availability
Valentine's exclusives from 2025-2025 haven't returned as of February 2026. While throwback events occasionally bring back limited items (12-24 months later), it's unpredictable and not guaranteed.
Assume: March 4 = final guaranteed acquisition opportunity.
FOMO vs Rational Decisions
Combat fear-of-missing-out with:
- Character usage check: Review 30-day match history. If Enchantress <10% of selections, limited practical value.
- Budget reality: Does 2688 Echoes fit entertainment budget without financial stress?
- Opportunity cost: What else could 2688 Echoes buy? (Multiple A-Tiers for mains, future events, essence pulls)
- Regret assessment: Will you regret not buying more than spending on rarely-used items?
Deadline creates legitimate urgency for Enchantress mains. Don't let it override rational assessment if you're uncertain.
Last-Minute Checklist
- Verify Echo balance via in-game store
- Confirm package availability in Valentine's event tab
- Check first-time bonus status (doubles purchase amount)
- Review alternative items (Mechanic costume, etc.) and prioritize by preference

Mid (Feb 20-25):
- Preview via other players
- Community feedback available
- Balanced timeline

Common Misconceptions
Myth: Limited Items Always Return
Reality: Valentine's 2025-2025 items remain unavailable as of Feb 2026. Collaboration items never return (licensing). Seasonal items occasionally return but without guaranteed schedules. Treat as one-time opportunity.
Myth: Package Value Decreases Over Time
Reality: Limited cosmetics increase in perceived value post-event due to scarcity. The 32% discount = immediate savings, but long-term value includes exclusivity/rarity.
Myth: F2P Can't Compete Without Premium Items
Reality: Cosmetic-only monetization. Zero gameplay advantages. Competitive success depends entirely on skill, knowledge, coordination, strategy. F2P players reach top ranks regularly. Fragment system provides pathways via time investment.
Truth: Strategic Purchasing Beats Impulse Buying
Maximize value through:
- Character alignment: Buy for frequently-played characters
- Budget consciousness: Limit to discretionary entertainment funds
- Value assessment: Personal preference over artificial scarcity
- Long-term planning: Consider upcoming events before committing
Final Verdict
Purchase Recommendation Matrix
Strong Buy:
- Enchantress mains (30%+ selection rate)
- Collectors pursuing complete Valentine's 2026
- Available entertainment budget + like the design
- First-time purchasers leveraging double bonus
- Would buy S-Tier individually anyway
Conditional Buy:
- Moderate Enchantress players (10-30% rate) who like aesthetic
- Interested in S-Tier, flexible on character
- Budget for one major seasonal purchase
- Value exclusive/limited items
Skip:
- Rarely/never play Enchantress
- F2P prioritizing Fragments for other characters
- Ambivalent about design

FAQ
What's included in the package?
S-Tier Enchantress Blooming Augury costume + A-Tier Enchantress Lovesick Heart accessory for 2688 Echoes (32% off the 3956 individual price). Available February 12 - March 4, 2026.
Will Valentine's 2026 items return after March 4?
Unlikely. Valentine's 2025-2025 items haven't returned as of Feb 2026. Throwback events occasionally bring back limited items 12-24 months later, but it's unpredictable. Treat March 4 as final guaranteed opportunity.
Can F2P players afford it without spending?
F2P accumulate 100-300 Echoes monthly = 9-27 months for 2688. Fragment alternative (12888) = 16-26 months active play. Technically possible long-term, but not within event timeframe without monetary expenditure.
How does package compare to individual purchases?
Package always wins. Individual = 3956 Echoes (2888 + 1068). Package = 2688 (saves 1268, 32% off). Even wanting only S-Tier, package costs 200 less than standalone costume while including accessory free.
Should I buy Echoes now or wait for discount?
Identity V rarely discounts Echoes directly. Primary value = first-time bonus (doubles purchase). 2688 becomes 5376 for new spenders. Third-party platforms sometimes offer competitive pricing—verify reliability before purchasing.
What if I miss March 4 deadline?
Package and individual items leave store. Based on history, likely won't return to regular rotation. Must wait for potential future throwback events (unpredictable, not guaranteed) or accept permanent unavailability.
