Overview:
The Enchanted Kiko Squeeze Toy was a weapon released in the Hidden Tower. It boasted the ability to block all Water icons in its tracks. With the advent of the Faerie Tabard and this weapon being dropped from the catalogue, it became less of a useful weapon and more of a footnote, being more expensive than the vastly superior option. Well, thank the farmers of Meridell for breathing new life into this weapon, as the buffs to the Rubbish Dump caused this weapon to pop up rapidly, and the expense was fittingly squeezed out of the weapon.

Accessibility: 4/4
This is the cheapest full Water counter available. If your opponent uses a lot of Water, this little guy will be a great boon to you.

Viability: 4/5
As stated many times in this review, the Enchanted Kiko Squeeze Toy can completely nullify any and all Water heading your way... and that's it. Not exactly versatile, but it does what it does very well for its price. I still wish it did just a little more.

Alternatives:
Once this toy had its playtime, if you still want a full Water blocker, you'll wanna upgrade to either the Faerie Tabard or Snowager Pendant, which also fully block Water but provide several additional icon blocks or a full Fire block and bonus attack, respectively. Another consideration is the Mega U-Bend, which blocks 25% less than the toy, but reflects what it does block back at the opponent.

Bonus points:
I wanted to give it an extra point for having an animated image, but 1. my rating is high enough as it is, and 2. the fact that it doesn't loop annoys me. It's still adorable, at least, as pre-conversion Kikos already are.

Final notes:
I can't help but love the mental image of a mighty strike from the Kelpbeards Trident being slowed to a crawl while a squeaky "Weeh weeeeh c:" taunts it.

Pop For Your 'Points (3/3): This is by far the cheapest way to handle 100% of water thrown your way. This doesn't even cost 1.5 million at present.

In Battle (2/5): Quite the contrast in scoring, right? Don't get me wrong: it's great that Enchanted Kiko Squeeze Toy can handle all water, and for under 2 million NP, no less! Good for it! The thing is, it handles water in a way that leaves too much to be desired.

First of all, nearly any weapon you would like to block with Enchanted Kiko Squeeze Toy will come out ahead anyway. Whether it's Kelpbeards Trident, Sword of Tawre, Dr. Sloths Personal Bath Buddy, 9 Pound Coconut or even the infamous Dark Battle Duck, expect to lose out in a head-to-head confrontation. The one weapon to hope for is Maractite Battle Duck, a potential candidate for L97 battling. Even then, it's not enough if the secondary weapon on each side does the same damage. You're generally going to be crossing your fingers for stacked water when using this squeeze toy.

Enchanted Kiko Squeeze Toy is essentially a lesson in how not to handle icons coming at you. If your aim is to handle a single icon type, you do it with reflecting. And you try to do it with at least 75% reflection to come out ahead, like Mega U-Bend. Even if you magically run into dual Maractite Battle Ducks or dual Dr. Sloths Personal Bath Buddies and you connect, it is far more beneficial to be using a water reflector to combine with another offensive weapon. Outside of reflection it is better to use something like Faerie Tabard in order to deal with the intended icon type but also cover a wider spread of others. For example, while EKST falls behind 9 Pound Coconut, Faerie Tabard completely nullifies it.

If you can avoid it, do not get this weapon. Unless you are a low-level battler who runs into 2x Dr. Sloths Personal Bath Buddy a lot, move along.

Other (0/2): For some reason it is impossible to clean...
