Which are the best toons for beginners?

Early on in Dandy’s World, you want a toon that is both easy and quick to unlock. You have four good choices to consid🍨er.

Poppy

Poppy is a balanced character that is immediately available when you start Dandy’s World. She does not have any clear specialization, but due to her stats༺, we would recommend using Poppy mainly as a survivalist. Her ability, Panic Pop, lets her activate a heart for an immediate 50% speed boost for three seconds when attacked, thus allowing her to escape dangerous situations.

Since Poppy does not bring much to the table otherwise, it is a good idea to equip Extraction-based Trinkets such as the Blue Bandana and speed-enhancing Trinkets l꧟ike the Pink Bow. Playing Poppy is a great way to get accustomed to how the game works without having to worry to𝓀o much about dying.

Tisha

Tisha is a great toon to pick as your seco🅷nd choice right after starting off with your main one, Boxten or Poppy. You can unlock her by bringing 500 Ichor to the shop. She has high skill check and movement speed. Her main ability is to create a pulse that can increase the movement speed of toons around her by 25% for five seconds. She is perfect for the role of distractor, running around and getting the attention of the Twisteds.

Her extraction speed and stamina are quite low, but you should still be able to complete machines in little time thanks to her ability. The movement speed should also help with the low stamina, at least if you don’t run around too much.

Rodger

Our magnifying glass toon is the best at collecting research, and his low speed – while it can be a problem for more experienced players – should help you learn how to move around effectively while earning Ichor in the process. Rodger’s high extraction speed should also help with completing machines quite faster than other toons. If you are out to collect information on the Twisteds, Rodger is clearly a great toon to have, but that is his best and only use case.

If you want to counteract his low movement speed, trinkets like the Pink Bow or the Speedy Shoes can help. You can unlock Rodger by paying 1000 Ichor an♎d completing at least 50% of researc♊h on any Twisted.

Finn

The fishbowl-like Finn brings high skills in extraction and skill check, making him quite the ideal support Toon to pick for Dandy’s World beginners. His passive ability, Reel In, lets him become faster by 33% whenever a machine is finished. Fin𝓰n will always get a speed boost during Panic Mode, which can be useful to escape difficult situations.

Still, Finn’s stamina is pretty low, so while his movement speed and skill check make up slightly for that, you still want to bring along some stamina-based items like Chocolate or Pop. Finally, make sure to choose cards such as Well-Paced to counteract his low stamina. You can unlock Finn by collecting 500 Ichor and finishing 15 different machines.
