Tip: Load Identity V Echoes on VGTopup before you open, so payment never blocks a 10-pull.

What Cyanotype Looks Like In-Game
Cyanotype borrows Prussian blue from old photographic blueprints. Tracy wears a short white-and-cyan dress, tall boots, a forget-me-not headpiece, and retro goggles. Her Controller becomes a glass bottle holding cyanotype fluid and flowers.
In matches you get:
Soft cyan and violet glow on the model against dark maps
Gear- and clock-shaped footprints while she runs
Flower and light particles on move, decode, and Doll control
Blueprint-style translucency that stays readable in chase
Chinatown lantern streets and cold outdoor maps both show the trail and aura through fog and indoor rooms. That visibility is why collectors chase this S-Tier.
Lore Snapshot: Cyanotype Clinic
Season 43 Essence 2 follows Miss Cyanotype’s clinic, a shop that promises to wash traumatic memories out of the nobility. One high-priced “oblivion” job exposes the sin under the blue pages. Official lines call the leftovers cyanotype shadows after memory is stripped away.
Mechanic, Queen Bee, and Wildling share that art set. Main Tracy? Chase the S. Want the full memory theme? The A line covers the rest.
How to Get Mechanic Cyanotype
Step 1: Open Identity V → Illusion Hall / Exchange Treasure → select Season 43 Essence 2 (in-client window: 2026.7–2026.9).
Step 2: Claim free essence opens from login on drop day, then check Logic Path leftovers.
Step 3: Convert Echoes to Inspirations at 1:1 if you still need pulls. Compare pack rates in our Identity V Echoes price guide.
Step 4: Open 1 or Open 10. Watch the on-screen counters for opens until A / S.
Step 5: Equip Cyanotype from Wardrobe → Costume. Effects show in ranked, quick match, and custom rooms.
UID plus server is enough for third-party delivery. Keep your password off reseller forms. VGTopup Identity V top-up asks for User ID and region only.
How to Spend Less Echoes on Cyanotype
Burn free opens and event Inspirations before you buy.
Stop at A if you only wanted Wildling or Queen Bee; S pity is a separate cliff.
Buy Echoes once, sized to your ceiling (60 / 120 / 250 opens), instead of drip charges that blur the budget.
PH players can pay with GCash on player-ID portals; see How to Top Up Identity V Echoes With GCash.
After the season, A/B pieces move into Memory Spheres. The limited S leaves. Finish Cyanotype before Season 43 Essence 2 closes.
Need Echoes? Recharge on VGTopup, pick a pack, enter UID + Asia or NA/EU, pay, and the Echoes credit to that account.
FAQ
Is Mechanic Cyanotype a limited S-Tier?
Yes. Cyanotype is the Season 43 Essence 2 limited S-Tier. When the essence rotates out, that S leaves with it. A and B pieces from the same pool usually return later through Memory Spheres.
How many Echoes do I need for Cyanotype?
Hard pity sits near 250 opens × 96 Inspirations ≈ 24,000 Echoes if you buy every Inspiration. Plenty of accounts land earlier. Free opens and leftover Inspirations cut the bill. Set a stop line before the first paid open.
Can I buy Cyanotype with Fragments in Illusion Hall?
While Cyanotype sits in the essence, you open Season 43 Essence 2 with Inspirations. Fragments still cover other Illusion Hall cosmetics. See the Identity V game overview for how Echoes, Fragments, and Essence pulls fit together.
Does Cyanotype change Mechanic’s skills?
Costumes stay visual. Doll control, decode speed, and stun rules stay the same. You pay for the look, trail, and particle pack.
When did Season 43 Essence 2 release?
July 23, 2026, after maintenance, with the Cyanotype Clinic line for Mechanic, Queen Bee, and Wildling. Essence 3 lands later in the season with a different S-Tier headliner.
Conclusion
Mechanic Cyanotype is the Season 43 Essence 2 S-Tier if you want Tracy in Prussian blue with blueprint trails and clinic lore. Bookmark this page for pull costs and pity as the window runs. When you commit, top up Echoes through VGTopup Identity V with UID only, then spend inside the essence before the limited S rotates out.
