Soulvester

Soulvester ranks among the best extractors in the game (tied with Gourdy), boasting 5 stars in both Skill Check and Extraction Speed, plus an additional Heart for survivability. The trade-off, however, is severely limited mobility, with 1 star in both Movement Speed and Stamina, matching Shrimpo's mobility stats. Reckless play carries far greater risk than usual, making caution and patience fundamental to performing well with Soulvester.

He works best on teams that include a distractor. This setup lets him leverage his outstanding extraction stats while staying out of harm's way, though his survival depends heavily on the distractor staying alive. His extra Heart provides a valuable safety buffer and makes Health Kits more worthwhile, but faster Twisteds like Twisted Shelly and Twisted Toodles still demand careful awareness. Checking corners and positioning the camera to spot approaching Twisteds while working on Machines is a strong habit to develop.

As noted in his Ability description, Soulvester is immune to the ranged attacks of Twisted Goob and Twisted Scraps. This functions essentially as a permanent Cardboard Armor effect. It significantly reduces the threat these Twisteds pose, especially Scraps, who lacks Goob's extended attention span. Be aware, however, that this immunity does not extend to Twisted Gigi's grab attacks, so stay vigilant to protect your Items. Like his sister Connie, Soulvester also gains additional advantages during Floor Events — he produces light during Blackouts and is immune to the Illness III, Slow I, and Ichor Stains inflicted by Ichor Leaks, making him a strong choice when Floor Events are giving your team trouble.

For Trinket loadouts focused on survivability, pair Pink Bow with options like Speedy Shoes for extra run speed, Vanity Mirror to outrun nearly every Twisted during Panic Mode, Cooler for a larger Stamina pool, Friendship Bracelet for extended sprinting with multiple alive players, Blushy Bat to prevent hit-chain knockouts, Soul Sword to slow Twisteds on hit, or Train Whistle to nullify Slow debuffs from Twisted Vee. Star Pillow is also valuable for regenerating Stamina while extracting. For extraction-focused builds, Magnifying Glass pairs well with Vee's Remote for faster Floor progression, Participation Award to maximize Skill Check extraction, Stress Ball for ramping Extraction Speed, or Train Whistle to extract without being slowed by Twisted Finn. Avoid Cardboard Armor entirely, as its ranged-attack immunity is redundant with Soulvester's passive.

Players already experienced with Connie's similarly poor Movement Speed may find transitioning to Soulvester relatively smooth, since the movement limitations are familiar. Soulvester offers bonuses that Connie does not, including maximum extraction capability, an extra Heart, and ranged attack immunity. However, he sacrifices considerable survivability compared to Connie, having 2 fewer stars in both Stamina and Stealth and no invisibility Ability. His low mobility also makes spawning Twisted Dyle particularly risky — the extra Heart offers no protection against Dyle's instant-kill attacks, and his ranged immunity is irrelevant since all ranged Twisteds are Rare tier. That said, his maximum extraction can accelerate Floor completion if he focuses on nearby Machines while faster teammates spread out.

When approaching Dyle's Floor specifically, Soulvester's awful mobility makes it extremely difficult to manage both Twisted Dyle and the Common Twisteds that spawn alongside him. The extra Heart provides no meaningful protection against Twisted Dyle's instant-kill attacks, and his ranged immunity is completely irrelevant since all ranged-attack Twisteds are Rare tier. However, his maximum extraction speed can make the Floor go faster if he stays disciplined. The optimal strategy is to remain close to the Elevator and focus on nearby Machines while faster and stealthier teammates disperse to handle the more distant ones. Wandering too far from safety would be extremely risky given his inability to flee effectively. Upon completing Dyle's Floor, Soulvester finally gains the Stamina boost he desperately needs. Overall, Soulvester is a solid Toon choice whose performance ceiling depends heavily on team coordination, and if raw extraction is your sole priority without mobility concerns, Gourdy may be the more practical pick due to his similar extraction stats with a more balanced overall kit.
