About Popstar
Popstar is the Hatsune Miku style, a Limited Support pick that debuted in the Popstar Style + Zone update on 15 November 2025. It was rolled at 0.25% per spin (1% with Lucky Spins), which averages about 400 normal spins, and its page now says it is unobtainable. What sets it apart is that it wins by debuffing, not by scoring.
Soul Strings, played off the ball on V (60 seconds), drains 10% of every opponent's zone meter and slows them based on proximity. Music Fling gives 3 seconds of auto dribble, and an ankle break during it flings the opponent in your facing direction, at the cost of stamina. Flip Dunk (C, 65 seconds) is a spinning dunk from the 3-point line whose success adds 3% dribbling speed, up to 15%. The awakening, Long-Awaited Performance, needs you off the ball and unlocks Guitar Slam, a half-court dunk, and Beam, which stuns every player for a few seconds.
The Melodical zone grants unblockable dunks, and ankle-breaking an enemy also ragdolls a nearby one. The wiki's meta note: not quite meta, but a powerful all-rounder that pairs well with 777.
