Bug type: Event Item functionality / description

Brief bug summary: The tooltips for the Wondroid Heart and Glimmering Wondroid Heart do not say they have a restriction on what androids they work with, but it appears they only work with the 8 androids from the Wondroid event shop.

More details: When hovering over the Wondroid and Glimmering Wondroid Hearts in NPC Alec's shop, the tooltip does not say the hearts can only be equipped with certain androids.
However, the tooltip's damage difference shows the same number as it would show when hovering over an incompatible heart.
For example, I have an Orchiroid (rank 9 android). If I unequip its current heart, and then hover over various hearts in my inventory and in the shop, I see that incompatible hearts (like STAR's Heart) show 0 damage increase, while compatible hearts (such as Beryl and Lidium) show a positive number. The Wondroid hearts both show 0 damage increase, like the incompatible STAR's Heart. Note that the Wondroid hearts have stats, so equipping them with a compatible android should give more than 0 damage, even before scrolling or potential.

Steps to reproduce:
NOTE: I have yet to acquire either Wondroid Heart or Wondroid Android, so the following is how I would test it if I could.
1. Acquire Wondroid Heart and Glimmering Wondroid Heart.
2. Acquire Aster-oid (or any other android from NPC Alec's shop).
3. Acquire Beryl Heart (or any other Rank 5 android heart that is not from the Wondroid event and is not restricted to a specific android, per its description).
4. Acquire Subani-roid (or any other Rank 9 android that is not from the Wondroid event)

5. Equip the Subani-roid.
6. Equip the Beryl Heart. Observe that it becomes equipped and the android appears beside you.
7. Unequip the Beryl Heart. Observe that the android disappears and a message about it being unpowered is displayed.
8. Attempt to equip the Wondroid Heart. Observe the error message, "Your stats are too low to equip this item or you do not meet the job requirement."
9. Attempt to equip the Glimmering Wondroid Heart. Observe the same error message.

10. Un-equip the Subani-roid and equip the Aster-oid.
11. Equip the Wondroid Heart. Observe that it becomes equipped and the android appears beside you.
12. Unequip the Wondroid Heart.
13. Equip the Glimmering Wondroid Heart. Observe ? (Not sure about this one because the android's description says it needs a Wondroid Heart specifically, so not sure whether it works with Glimmering one)

    Gee I wish I had known about this BEFORE the mechanical hearts event this year. Can confirm this bug in functionality/description still exists and is still fooling people in 2020. The Glimmering Wondroid Heart neither says it only works with Wondroids or indicates it in any way, nor actually works with level 9 androids that are not Wondroids. It says stats are too low or do not meet the job requirement (which both are false, it's the Android that causes the problem - equipping the heart without the Android works just fine but gives no stats).

    This thread is three years old and it was confirmed to be intentional; only Wonderoids can use a Wonderoid heart.
