Health Kit – Dandy's World Item Guide

Effect

Upon use, Health Kit restores Health to the maximum number of Hearts for the user. It is a single-use consumable classified under the Healing category. Health Kit can be found on Floors as a random spawn or purchased from Dandy's Shop for 100 Tapes. With the Dandy Plush trinket the price drops to 50 Tapes, with the Frugal Card to 90 Tapes, and with both equipped to just 40 Tapes. Higher Floors generally yield a higher chance to spawn rarer items, so Health Kits appear more frequently on later Floors. Bassie can also pick up Health Kits from the ground and deposit them for other players using her Springful Sharing ability, and Gigi's Surprise ability can generate healing items including Health Kits. Using any Very Rare item rewards the player with 8 Tapes upon consumption.

How Health Kit Compares to Other Healing Options

Health Kit is the strongest single-use healing item in Dandy's World, but it is not the only way to restore Hearts. The Bandage is a Rare item that restores only 1 Heart and costs 60 Tapes at Dandy's Shop. The First Aid and Medical Attention Cards restore 1 Heart to all living Toons that are missing health, and these can appear on odd-numbered Floors. Several Toon abilities also provide healing: Teagan's Tea Time restores 1 Heart to herself for 75 Tapes with a 100-second cooldown, Sprout's Baked Sweets restores 1 Heart to a selected Toon for 100 Tapes, Cosmo's Sharing is Caring sacrifices 1 of his own Hearts to heal a teammate, and Ginger's Baked with Care fully restores all Hearts on a selected Toon for 100 Tapes. Health Kit is the only item-based method that fully restores all Hearts at once, making it especially valuable for Toons with 3 or 4 maximum Hearts.

Tips and Tricks

Health Kit is classified as Very Rare, so it should be used only when immediate action is required or when you are in an extremely vulnerable state.

• Avoid using Health Kits when you are at 2 Hearts (3 Hearts if Soulvester), as that is the job of the Bandage. Only use them if you are at 1 Heart and use them at the very first chance you get, so you can be safe and free up inventory space.
• Don't waste Health Kits alongside other Very Rare items such as Bottle o' Pop, Eject Button, Smoke Bomb, and Box o' Chocolates. Only use them when in sticky situations, like getting cornered by Twisteds or during Panic Mode.
• Prioritize allowing Cosmo to take Bandages and Health Kits, as Cosmo exchanges his own Hearts at the cost of healing other Toons. He benefits from staying topped off so he can continue using Sharing is Caring without dying.
• For any of the Main Toons (Dandy, Dyle) or if you are playing as Looey, they should take Bandages due to them having only 2 Hearts. A Health Kit on a 2-Heart Toon only restores 1 Heart, which is the same effect as a Bandage for a much higher price. All other Toons with 3 or 4 Hearts should prioritize taking Health Kits as they will get more value from the full restore.
• If there are distractors on your team like Goob or Pebble, and there are no healers, it is recommended to give Health Kits to them as they are the ones being chased by Twisteds the most and therefore most likely to take damage.
• On odd-numbered Floors, a healing Card (Medical Attention or First Aid) may appear during voting, which heals all living Toons by 1 Heart. Keep this in mind before using a Health Kit — if you are at 2 Hearts and expect a heal Card, you may want to hold the Health Kit for a more desperate moment.
• Be aware that Twisted Gigi can steal items from your inventory and Twisted Gourdy requires items, so holding a Health Kit for too long carries the risk of losing it to these Twisteds.
• Using a Health Kit grants 8 Tapes, partially offsetting its 100-Tape purchase cost.

Trinket Interactions

Several trinkets interact with the Health Kit either by reducing its cost or complementing its healing role. Dandy Plush halves the price of all Dandy's Shop items, bringing Health Kit from 100 to 50 Tapes. The Frugal Card provides a 10% discount, reducing the cost to 90 Tapes, and stacking both brings it to 40 Tapes. Memory Locket shows the player if there are any healing items on the current Floor when their health bar is not full, which helps locate Health Kits more efficiently. Savory Charm protects the player from a lethal hit when at 1 Heart (once per run), giving you extra time to find and use a Health Kit before dying. Both Blushy Bat and Soul Sword activate when hit by a Twisted, with Blushy Bat increasing the Twisted's attack cooldown by 3 seconds and Soul Sword applying a Slow debuff, which can buy time to use a Health Kit after taking damage.

Trivia

Notable facts about the Health Kit gathered from the Fandom wiki and community.

• Prior to v0.2.0, Health Kits used to cost 150 Tapes, the same price as an Ultra Rare item. The cost was likely lowered to better reflect its Very Rare rarity tier.
• The sounds for using a Health Kit are taken from Left 4 Dead. In that game, Health Kits serve a similar purpose as a full healing item, and the sound file is named MedkitUsed.mp3.
• The Health Kit item has been nicknamed the "Medkit" by the community so frequently that the developer Qwel has also referred to it as a Medkit, as seen in the First YouTube Stream, the "Medkit here!" Sticker, and in the Discord announcement for v0.12.1.
• The community also uses the shortened term "Med" to refer to the Health Kit, though Qwel has not adopted this abbreviation.
• Health Kit is one of only two healing items in the Healing category (alongside the Bandage), making it one of the rarest item categories in the game.
• Fishing Rod cannot grant Health Kits since it only provides items not exclusive to Dandy's Shop, but the Crayon Set and Blind Grab or Lost and Found Cards can.
