Ortho Shroud skill, explained

Ortho Shroud (the Twisted Wonderland Tsum) is a new October Tsum on the International app, alongside Disney Villains (Set) and Scheming Gaston. His skill is a tap: you tap the board and a line of Tsums goes. Here is what we could confirm, what we couldn’t, and how to read the coin numbers floating around.

The short version:

He is in the International app. Fandom lists him as an International Tsum, and tsumlyss’s footage is the English client with Ortho Shroud at Skill 6. RelaxZone’s Skill 1–3 videos show a Traditional Chinese client
The skill is a tap, not a swipe. Fandom’s text says the line passes through the spot you tap. The Traditional Chinese in-game text shown by RelaxZone says “randomly” clears a whole row. These two don’t say quite the same thing (more below)
How to get him is only partly confirmed. He’s a limited-time Premium Tsum. The dates of his rate-up are not confirmed
The coin numbers are individual tests with different conditions. They are not a ranking

Is he really on the International app?

Earlier this month a Fandom note said he was Japan-only, so we checked before writing.

Evidence	What it shows	Source
Fandom “Ortho Shroud” page	Now says he was introduced in the International Villains Halloween event (2026); the “Japanese version only” sentence was removed on Oct 11	Fandom
Fandom “International Tsums” list	Ortho Shroud is listed after Scheming Gaston, as the newest entry	Fandom
tsumlyss video (Oct 10)	English-language client (“Bonus Items”, “Today’s Missions”, “Weekly High Score”); Ortho Shroud at Skill 6, Tsum Lv 12	tsumlyss
RelaxZone Skill 1–3 videos (Oct 8–10)	Thumbnails show a Traditional Chinese client with his info card marked “New!”, “Limited time” and a rate-up badge	RelaxZone

So we have a wiki and two different creators, one on an English client and one on a Traditional Chinese client. That is enough for us to say he’s live in the International app.

Loose end: Fandom’s page still carries the “Japan Exclusive Tsums” tag even though its text now says he’s in the International event. The International Villains Halloween page doesn’t list him either. We take that as an unfinished edit, not as a contradiction, but it’s why we’re saying so.

How to get him

Point	Status
Box type	Premium Box, limited time (Fandom)
Rate-up shown in game	Yes: the RelaxZone Skill 1 thumbnail shows a rate-up badge on his info card. We only saw this in a thumbnail
When the rate-up starts and ends	Not confirmed. We found no Intl source with dates. Check the Premium Box screen in your game
Available after the event	Fandom says Limited Time Event Tsums aren’t available from Premium Boxes outside the event

Watch: Skill 6 on an English client

If the video doesn’t load: Ortho Shroud SL6 Lv12 Gameplay (tsumlyss) (about 5.5 minutes)

It’s a single run, and we didn’t rely on any commentary in it. What to look for:

The start screen. The Bonus Items screen shows which items are on. The +Coin and 5▶4 icons look lit (our reading of the screen)
The Fever stretch in the middle. The combo counter climbs from 55 to well over 200 across the run
The result screen at the end, which we read for the table below

How the skill works

Point	Details	Checked by
Skill text (English)	“When you tap the screen, a line of Tsums that pass through the area you tapped will be cleared!”	Fandom
Skill text (in-game, Traditional Chinese)	“點擊畫面可以隨機消掉整排的Tsum！” = “Tap the screen to randomly clear a whole row of Tsums!”	RelaxZone thumbnail
Tsums needed for a full charge	17	Fandom only
Skill range and number of hits	Skill 1: S, 1 hit. Skill 2: M, 1. Skill 3: M, 2. Skill 4: L, 2. Skill 5: L, 3. Skill 6: LL, 3	Fandom only
Score per skill	40 at Lv 1, +18 per Tsum level, 922 at Lv 50 (these add up)	Fandom only

Where the “random” is. Fandom’s sentence suggests the spot you tap decides which line goes. The in-game text says the row is random. Fandom’s English text may be translated from another version, so we trust the in-game text for wording but haven’t tested which is right. If you try him, note where the lines actually land.
Per-level Tsum costs. Fandom says maxing him takes 32 copies, but its per-level column adds up to 29. We left the column out. Check the skill-up screen in game.
Skill range letters (S, M, L, LL) are Fandom’s labels. We didn’t measure them on screen.

Coin numbers: individual tests, not a ranking

Each of these is one creator’s run under their own conditions. They shouldn’t be lined up as a skill-level curve.

Creator	Skill level	Conditions we could see	Result
tsumlyss (English client)	Skill 6	Tsum Lv 12; +Coin and 5▶4 appear on	Score 19,519,384; 5,020 coins on the result screen. The in-play counter ended near 4,564, and the title says “4.5k base coin”
RelaxZone (Traditional Chinese client)	Skill 2	“5 to 4” item named in the title; other conditions not checked	“2,000+” in the thumbnail and title
RelaxZone (Traditional Chinese client)	Skill 3	Same as above	“2,450” in the thumbnail

For tsumlyss we read the result screen ourselves. We don’t know why the result is higher than the in-play counter (bonuses are the likely reason), so we are not claiming a base number
For RelaxZone we only used the thumbnails and titles. We couldn’t re-open those videos, so the numbers are the creator’s claims and are not verified against a result screen
A rough comparison. Our Scheming Gaston guide reads 4,926 coins at Skill 6 from a different RelaxZone video. That’s in the same range as Ortho’s 5,020, but the Tsum levels and items differ, so don’t treat either as better

Where he may help in Villains Halloween

Fandom’s tags for Ortho Shroud include: Premium, male, eyebrows, tuft of hair, burst skill, center burst skill, eyelashes, blue and black. Lined up against the mission lists on Fandom’s International Villains Halloween page:

Card	Missions he may count for (per Fandom tags)
1	300 Tsums with a premium Tsum; 900,000 points with a male Tsum; 20 combo with a Tsum with eyebrows
2	Chain of 7+ with fluffy hair; 600 Exp. with a black Tsum; 70 MyTsums with a burst Tsum
3	1,650 coins with a Tsum with eyelashes
5	9,750,000 points with a blue Tsum
6	6,600 coins with a center burst Tsum

Only “black Tsum” has an extra note. A Fandom editor added the black tag on Oct 9 with the comment “Counted for black Tsum mission”
The rest rely on Fandom’s tags and mission text alone. For Cards 3–6 we also treat the mission list as less settled; see our Villains Halloween guide. Tap the mission in game to confirm he qualifies before you spend items
As one of this month’s new Tsums he should get the event’s Character Bonus (Fandom’s event page says so)

Tips (our suggestions)

These are our own suggestions, not from either source.

Test the tap before you spend items. Since the sources disagree on how the line is chosen, a couple of plays without items will tell you more than a description
Treat him as a mission Tsum first. He matches many tags across Cards 1–2, and the coin tests so far are a single run each. If you only have a few Tsum copies, use the Character Bonus on a mission before you chase skill levels
Compare him with the other two new Tsums on missions, not just coins. See Villains Set skill, explained and Scheming Gaston skill, explained
Check the rate-up dates in your Premium Box screen before you spend coins, because we couldn’t find them
