We still haven't figured out Sentai Idealist yet, but that's fine. Time to (also) work on Writhe!
Well the good news is someone (that is NOT me) has already unlocked the guy and he even posted a log. https://pastebin.com/SRVMM1VV

It was not sufficient to simply win a game with the Adamant Sentinels and Writhe dealing lots of infernal damage. I put two Twist the Ethers on him, set them to infernal++, and let him get the finishing blow against Apostate.
Also not suffiicent do end the game with the shadow cloak in the trash. I used the same setup as the posted unlock, but was not successful.
Might be equipment related? Absolute Zero has only a tentative story link to Writhe and Benchmark basically nothing, but both are quite equipment heavy.
On steam, someone else posted a log of getting an unlock, and it looks like the cloak does not need to hit the trash. Still looking at the two to see what else they have in common. Kind of hoping the kismet thing is a coincidence. She is not on my list of favorite villains to fight.
Here’s the link. https://pastebin.com/SRVMM1VV
Played a game with the same line-up as whoever won the game posted by Missingno. VG Writhe dealt the final blow and had all his equipments in play. No unlock.
Holy crap. I unlocked it. I wasn't even trying. As a result, I have no idea what I did. I was on my IPad and I don't have a log.
I was fighting Citizen Dawn in Megalopolis. Heroes were Super Scientific Tachyon, Visionary, Redeemer Fanatic, Void Guard Writhe, and Void Guard Mainstay.
Mainstay made the final killing blow. Final HP were in the twenties for everyone but Writhe, who was at 11. Visionary fed him cards at least once, but otherwise none of the other heroes helped him. The shadow cloak went in and out of the trash regularly. I used the Umbral Siphon until the Devastating Aurora destroyed it. Writhe occasionally discarded cards to eliminate damage.
I played the following cards, but no idea what order:
Grasping Shadowcloth, Distorted Perception, Nowhere to Hide. Penultimate Penumbra, Umbral Siphon, Unnerving Target.
I know I didn't play the following cards:
Erratic Form, Lies of the Shadows, Swallowed by Shadow, Unquiet Night.
My memory of the other cards is fuzzy. I threw Cloak Projector and the Dark Lab in the trash at various times without using them. But I honestly wasn't paying attention closely--I was playing over breakfast and getting ready to leave the house.
I have no idea what's helpful in here. Hopefully something.
Well, at least we know this one's doable without trying, over the course of a normal game. The common thread between the logs is likely, if the last several unlocks are anything to go by, extremely annoying to piece together even with them side-by-side. Or at least, something so outside-the-box that no one's gonna think to look for it specifically.
Still, this is exciting. The Void Guard are the first unlocks to launch after I started playing, so I can join in (or at least follow along) for the ride this time! When I get home from work tonight, I'm gonna take a good, close look at all these Steam logs coming through, and try to piece together every inane, mundane common thread between them. And of course, I'll play several Writhe games on my own, since that seems to be an important part of it.
Could it have something to do with a certain ammount of equipments being played durring a game? Most every deck in that first log had equipment to play. Or perhapse an overall ammount of damage being reduced?
We have an unlock that wasn't from a win. https://pastebin.com/R9xphfP2

In sum, so far we have unlocks on a:
- Win over Kismet in the Tomb of Anubis with S&D Benchmark, FF AZ, Writhe, and the base Sentinels.
- Win over Citizen Dawn in Megalopolis with SS Tachyon, base Visionary, Redeemer Fanatic, base Writhe, and base Mainstay.
- Loss to the Chairman in Magmaria with Writhe, Idealist, S&D Benchmark, Rogue Agent K.N.Y.F.E., and Fugue State Parse.
Seems likely that villain and environment (and win/loss) don't matter.
I wonder about heroes; the only commonality, maybe, that I can see is that all three games had Writhe with at least one other Sentinel/VG hero, either as another VG character or the base Sentinels.
I agree with Phantom5613 that Equipment played might factor in. Looking forward to FallenPrime826 running the logs.
Same setup as Missingo except no Knyfe. No Unlock
Tried again with KNYFE. here's pastebin https://pastebin.com/u7HXNeej
Another failure.

First try. Writhe, Fugue State Parse, Freedom Five Absolute Zero (I forget his proper name), Tempest, and Grandpa Legacy against Skinwalker Gloomweaver in Pike, because I felt like a nice horror set-up. I managed to get four of Writhe’s equipment cards out, and destroyed the Shadow Cloak once; but the only other equipment cards to get into play were “Isothermic Transducer,” “Null-Point Calibration Suit,” and “Elemental Subwave Inducer,” in case getting equipment cards out is any part of it.
Wow. Another failure.
What am I missing? I seriosuly am trying so many things and failing.
At least this is good for what not to do....

Hey don't feel bad. I have played a bunch of games and come up empty too.
Oh I’m not truest bummed. I hope I didn’t come off that way. Just love seeing how some people got it by accident. I’m basically selecting Void Fuard Writhe than pressing random. I even won one against Wager Master First turn and no unlock, so at least we know it must be “do something” in the least
I just got the unlock myself. Legacy, Writhe, and Unity vs Baron Blade at The Block. My main focus was never using the Prevent Damage feature of the cloak along with destroying it multiple times. For good measure, I also had Writhe deal the killing blow.
Also, I believe I used at least 3 of his powers, and did over 10 infernal damage in one use of his power that doesn't let the target heal. (Legacy buffs + Unity's One Shot that gives +2 damage on a power.)
Sorry, was on iPhone, so no log.
I unlocked it in a losing game. I was playing against Omnitron base villain, in Omnitron IV environment.
Heroes: Omnitron-X, VG Doctor Medico, VG Idealist, VG Mainstay, VG Writhe.
We destroyed Omnitron itself, but drones were left in play, and were immune to Melee due to Conveyor Belts. There was one stupid repair drone in play when the environment killed Writhe. I lost the game and was surprised at the unlock.
Sadly, I don't have logs and wasn't keeping close track of the match -- I didn't even know the unlock was available!
