Teagan Dandy's World Guide

Teagan is a versatile All-Rounder who does not specialize in any single area, but offers solid survivability across all game modes. Her playstyle can be adapted based on your preferences and team needs. The only real drawback is her 2-star Stealth, which means Twisteds will notice her easily. While this is a liability for stealthy extraction, it can be turned into a strength for distraction and protection roles.

Tea Time makes Teagan a great pick for inexperienced players or anyone prone to taking hits during runs. Because healing Items like Health Kits and Bandages are naturally scarce, converting Tapes into health is a significant advantage. By around Floor 12 and beyond, unspent Tapes tend to pile up, so ask teammates to leave extra Tapes for you. Activities that generate Tapes include picking up Items, encountering each Twisted for the first time on a floor, completing Machines, surviving the floor, and using Items. Grab low-value pickups your teammates do not need, such as Gumballs, Skill Check Candies, and Stealth Candies, for small Tape gains. Jumper Cables are also excellent pickups, and buying a Valve from the pre-game shop pairs well with Vee's Remote or Wrench Trinkets. Do not deliberately seek out Twisteds, but briefly stepping out from the elevator during Panic Mode after your teammates are safe can earn you extra Tapes before retreating.

Teagan functions well as a protector: her stats and self-healing let her guard teammates who are extracting and have equal or higher Stealth. She can hover near teammates on 1 Heart, bait ranged Twisted attacks to give distractors a head start, and escort slower teammates to the elevator during Panic Mode. Taking a hit for others is less costly when you can heal it back with Tapes. If a Sprout or Ginger is also on the team, allow them priority on Tapes since they need to distribute heals to the whole group; you will still earn enough from completing tasks normally.

In solo runs, Teagan can claim all Tapes for herself and intentionally trigger Twisted encounters or burn through low-value Items for additional Tapes. The absence of teammates also means more healing Items for personal use. She is also strong in Dandy Runs, where Health Kits and Bandages are naturally rare. Ask your team to leave all Tapes for Teagan unless Sprout or Ginger are present. For Dyle's Floor, her above-average Stamina makes her efficient on Treadmill Machines, and the abundant Machines on that floor provide high Tape income. Note that Tea Time is ineffective against Twisted Dyle's instant kill, so caution is still necessary.

Optimal Trinket choices depend on your intended role. For survivability, Pink Bow lets Teagan outrun all Twisteds except Twisted Dyle at max speed before Panic Mode; pair it with Speedy Shoes for further speed, Vanity Mirror to outrun every Twisted during Panic Mode, or Diary to avoid disrupting 2-star Stealth distractors. For extraction, Magnifying Glass takes full advantage of her 3-star Extraction Speed and Skill Check, and pairs well with Vee's Remote for quicker floor progression or Participation Award for maximizing Skill Check extraction; Train Whistle is useful in long solo runs to avoid being slowed by Twisted Finn. For a support build, Soul Sword or Blushy Bat (but not both together) let Teagan slow a Twisted by taking a hit and then healing it back, functioning like a sentinel. Sweet Charm reduces Tea Time's cooldown, and can be combined with Ghost Snakes In A Can for a further small reduction. Dandy Plush is broadly useful since it discounts Dandy's Shop prices, saving Tapes for healing. Avoid Tape-providing Trinkets like Fancy Purse, as they only supply enough for one heal and become useless later in the run. Unless you are in a solo run, leave Health Kits and Bandages for teammates since Teagan can heal herself.
