Bassie

On the surface, Bassie appears suited for the distractor role, sharing identical Movement Speed and Stamina values with Pebble. However, her unique Abilities and 4 Stealth make her far more effective as a survivalist and support Toon rather than a dedicated distractor. That said, she can serve as a backup distractor depending on your team's overall Stealth composition and experience level. Her excellent mobility stats, Stealth, and bonus Item slot make her an outstanding survivalist. Given Bassie's extremely poor Extraction Speed and Skill Check stats, it is advisable to steer clear of Machines in most cases and instead channel her strong survivability to benefit the team. The exception is Treadmill Machines, where Bassie is among the very best extractors thanks to her exceptional mobility stats. She can also contribute to Duo Machines, ideally only if you are proficient at landing her very small Skill Checks, since her low Extraction Speed combined with a partner's would still reach a respectable total roughly equivalent to 5 Stars. Her Abilities grant four inventory slots and allow her to drop Items without any penalty, making Bassie a superb team supporter who opens up new tactical options for approaching Floors. Her primary value lies in stockpiling Items for upcoming Floors or distributing critical supplies like Box o' Chocolates, Health Kits, or Smoke Bombs to teammates who need them most. Providing Items that shore up teammates' weaknesses is highly effective. For example, giving Rodger a Speed Candy, or picking up seemingly low-value Items so that a Sprout or Ginger can accumulate more Tapes. Another strong tactic is gathering all available Items on a Floor and depositing them at strategic locations: Skill Check Candy and Extraction Speed Candy beside incomplete Machines, and everything else near the Elevator for teammates to grab during Panic Mode. If Twisted Gigi is present on the Floor, stashing your valuable Items in a safe spot or near the Elevator entrance prevents them from being stolen. When that is not feasible, reorganizing your inventory preemptively or donating Items to a teammate works as an alternative. Stamina, Speed, and survival Items should be placed along kiting loops or handed directly to struggling Toons and active distractors, particularly after they use an Item and free up inventory space. These supplies are also valuable for low-mobility Toons recovering from a chase, as they may need an immediate boost. Surplus Items can be left near the Elevator for last-minute pickups. Placing them near Treadmill Machines also helps Toons complete those objectives faster. Regarding healing supplies, Bassie should deliver Bandages and Health Kits to distractors so they can remain in their loops without interruption. She functions as a mobile storage unit for these Items, similar to Cosmo, even though she cannot split Health Kits. She should always purchase healing Items when the opportunity arises. As a general guideline, Bassie should prioritize Bandages while Cosmo focuses on Health Kits if both are in the game, but distributing these Items between both Toons ensures more efficient access for the whole team. When uncertain, Bassie can always pass Items to Cosmo later, and her faster pickup speed and larger inventory make her an effective secondary storage. Extraction Items can either be delivered to teammates you observe working on Machines or held for your own use. Jumper Cables and Valves provide equal value regardless of who uses them. You can sprint to a Machine near a distractor and use them on the spot, saving other Toons the trip and reducing the time they need to spend in dangerous areas.
