Masquerade Challengers

Have you been keeping the various Gossips fed and hydrated? Unfortunately, you've taken that job away from the Hacked Waitron, causing her to malfunction. Instead of helping, she's ready to fight. To unlock: Give 1,000 food and/or drinks to the NPCs and then visit the Ballroom.

Security is intense in the ballroom. The Ballroom Enforcer finds dancing with the gossips pretty suspicious, so get ready for a battle if you do. To unluck: Dance with all five gossips and then visit the Ballroom.

Not enough battling for you? Take a break from the floor to fight older challengers like Blaire, the Mecharachnid, Baron Blanaby, and more!

A decade of being too lazy to do anything with my Lounge Trinkets has truly paid off.

Alana 07/12/26 2:42 pm

How strong is The Ballroom Enforcer? I need to know if I can even stand a chance if/when I unlock him. I just need that book.

Tomorrow 07/11/26 9:20 pm

has anyone gotten these yet- let alone the 5th win loot?
(also love the art!)

UPDATE: I don't know which refresh did it but Hacked Waitron is in my even challengers now. Great success. :)

Serena922003 07/9/26 8:27 pm

Got challenged by Ballroom Enforcer... Finally hit 1,000 on feeding the NPCs... refreshed ballroom several times but Hacked Waitron doesn't want to play... :/

@brokensafety thanks for letting me know that is great!! didn't spot that in the comments

brokensafety 07/7/26 11:30 am

@kuzi They were added to regular dance rooms. Just look through the forums until you find one with both.

kuzi 07/7/26 11:10 am

okay but it's been days and neither abigail nor anthony seem to be willing to dance and i have to check back in every two hours to get back on the floor :K cant they be added to regular dance rooms....?

Sheap 07/7/26 1:37 am

@Alexy join a ballroom with few people for thaaaaaat

BoaConstrictor 07/6/26 11:25 pm

I'm faced with lots of Error code: 503 right now...

BoaConstrictor 07/6/26 11:22 pm

Are you guys aware, that there is a life outside of Subeta - you know, work, sleep, etc.
How should we get all of this done?
How long will the challengers be around?
And the Horde doesn't seem to work as hoped - 2 challengers for a ton of preparation for each fight seems a lot more time consuming than hammering away one by one...

Damon 07/6/26 10:14 pm

@Lea new items should be added soonish. We'll get a news post. :)

BaronOfBirchmen 07/6/26 10:06 pm

Such cool designs. Reminds me of "Sir you are being hunted".

Ravage 07/6/26 9:56 pm

@Jess
thanks! now to wait for them to come through 🥀

Hacked Waitron steps forward!
One of the ballroom's serving automatons has glitched and locked onto you.

Jess 07/6/26 9:55 pm

@Ravage Go to the Masquerade Forums and look for dancing threads with NPCs in them. (Here is one as an example).

Lea 07/6/26 9:39 pm

artwork is amazing for these challengers!! i'm excited to get my event battles in~

1,000 food or drinks... damn, i'm not even up to 200 and i already got all the items i wanted lol. gonna have to really lock in haha

Ravage 07/6/26 9:24 pm

How do i dence with the gossips?

StarShadow 07/6/26 9:21 pm

So I just noticed that quests reset. Are we allowed to do them again or should we wait? I asked elsewhere but didn't get an answer.

Senti 07/6/26 9:15 pm

@Jess Thank you!!

Jess 07/6/26 9:14 pm

@Senti Hacked Waitron & Ballroom Enforcer

Senti 07/6/26 9:06 pm

@Amber What are the names of the NEW masquerade battle challengers?

StarShadow 07/6/26 8:26 pm

Got the enforcer beat OK but probably won't get the maid since I can't see giving 1K food & drink any time soon.

Reaper 07/6/26 8:05 pm

Allowing us to bulk buy some of the cheaper food and drink from Libertine Lounge would be super helpful right now - trying to buy 900 ish of each to hit the 1k tier for both is tiring. My fingers don't want to click anymore lol

StarShadow 07/6/26 8:04 pm

Is there any new loot for the old challengers? If not I probably won't have time to fight them between dancing and fighting.

Amber STAFF 07/6/26 7:43 pm

@Sirensong Not each! You can do a mix of them. That's the and/or bit. You could do like 800 food and 200 drinks or all drinks. Whatever works for you!

Sirensong 07/6/26 7:41 pm

@Amber - But you need 1K of each for the achievements you added, right?

kytten 07/6/26 7:36 pm

The amount of clicking between this and the masks - almost makes me want to install an autoclicker 😵‍💫

oilbird 07/6/26 7:33 pm

I think the market might be about to be flooded with the prize items lol

Saturnine 07/6/26 7:26 pm

me: what will I Do with all these lounge trinkets I keep getting
staff: how about feed the NPCs 1000 times?
me:...sure why not!

Lyn 07/6/26 7:14 pm

The artwork is amazing on the new challengers!
Just a quick question, is anyone else having lag? I rebooted and checked my internet speed. All seems to be good on my end, but I am techno challenged, so thought I better double check if it is me or the site.

Alexy 07/6/26 7:14 pm

I love the art but I don't think I'll be able to unlock them, specially the one who requieres to dance with all the gossips, the RNG gods hate me.

NOVOCAINE 07/6/26 7:05 pm

omg ive only done 100 for food and drink each lmaoo

Sheap 07/6/26 6:51 pm

I can gave 1000 food to the NPCs but can they eat THAT much?
The robots will have extra work with the cleaning all the... you know, ghe thing that happens when you are bloated and dont stop

Kat77 07/6/26 6:48 pm

Whew. Battling with the enforcer was tough. I got to 5 tho!

Amber STAFF 07/6/26 6:47 pm

There will be a news post, @hipster, but I'll be changing out the retired item prizes soon. (I'll give y'all some time to get current and then BAM).

Keith STAFF 07/6/26 6:47 pm

@Sirensong a combination! Could be 999 drinks and 1 food, or 500 of each. A little better, I hope ;)

StarShadow 07/6/26 6:45 pm

New Loot?

Sirensong 07/6/26 6:44 pm

1,000 drinks AND 1,000 food?!! Oh, this is going to try my patience for sure. :(

hipster 07/6/26 6:42 pm

Ooooooo that's gonna deflate the prizes from the NPCs like crazy 🥲

Damon 07/6/26 6:36 pm

thanks for adding more achievement tiers to help us keep track of the progress to the challenger.

Jess 07/6/26 6:27 pm

@Efferd Yep, just join one of the newer ballrooms where you see NPCs listed as possible dancers and the rest is automatic :D

Ying 07/6/26 6:27 pm

The art is soooo good! Considering we have to feed 1,000 items.. I might wait until future years to unlock that guy!

Jigglypuff 07/6/26 6:20 pm

I am SO excited about these new (and past) challengers!! gorgeous art and im also just discovering the horde feature so having lots of fun battling today~

Efferd 07/6/26 6:19 pm

Thanks @Jess, that makes sense. How can I dance with them though? Do I have to wait to be paired with them in a ballroom? Hah, I didn't bother with all of this so far x_X

Haswari 07/6/26 6:14 pm

Imma need Olivette to count towards that 1k. 🙃

moonstarr 07/6/26 6:08 pm

Oh, wow... I am really into battling and believe I've gotten all available permanent opponents (until now). I don't.... really want to spend tons of time feeding NPCs; that doesn't sound so fun. But it looks like we have to to unlock the ticked off robot. So... do we necessarily need to buy food and drink from the menagerie/lounge, or will purchasing regular food/drink for sP work?

Also, it says shows I've danced with the five NPCs and I'm currently in the ballroom, but the security robot has not challenged me. What do I need to do?

Jess 07/6/26 6:08 pm

@Efferd Try dancing with at least one more NPC to unlock it. Like me, you may have gotten the separate achievements from dancing with them years ago, but the combined achievement is much newer so it needs a recent dance with one of them to unlock it.

Efferd 07/6/26 6:03 pm

While I have all "Dance with gossips" unlocked, I don't have the combined one unlocked, is there anything special I have to do for that?

Bliss 07/6/26 6:00 pm

Ugh! Why 1000? ^^;

Zelorial 07/6/26 6:00 pm

Any chance of the achievements for beating hostile model and mecharachnid being unretired?

Brilliant design for the new challengers, love them~
