Identity V may be known from outside of the fan base as a game that plays similarly to Dead by Daylight, but those who engage with the game know that’s only partly true. Collecting the best costumes for your favorite characters is also a huge part of the gameplay loop, and few costumes come close to the Deduction Star ones.

What are Deduction Star skins in Identity V?
Deduction Star skins in Identity V are essentially skin sets that include a handful of characters getting permanent skins annually. What makes this set more unique than most others is that the players determine which characters should get these skins, usually around April or May. This means that you can vote for your favorite character to get a Deduction Star skin, and then utilize LootBar’s services to acquire that skin if it wins!
As for what the costumes actually are, every skin is based on some old movie. Some players think that the voting process means that older characters have a lower chance of getting Deduction Star skins. While possibly true, it also means that those characters don’t have the required popularity.
Arguably, the best thing about these skins is that they’re all permanent. Players can get their hands on their favorite Deduction Star skins whenever they want from the Illusion Hall, regardless of whether they came out in 2018 or 2025.
While the Nymph Awards are also similar to the Deducation Star costumes since they’re determined through a fan-voting event, skins selected through this event aren’t necessarily based on any source material. Still, Deduction Star skins play a huge role here, since only past Deduction Star winners can be considered for the Nymph Awards.
