Twisted Tisha

Mechanic

Sweeps the floors, idling in areas for 10 seconds at a time.

Appearance

Twisted Tisha closely resembles her Toon counterpart, consistent with other Common Twisteds. Her sclerae have shifted to an orangish-red hue, framing black irises with small red pupils at their center. A blue shadow sits between her eyes, complemented by dark bags underneath them, while Ichor seeps from her downturned, closed mouth. The tissue protruding from the top of her head has been sharpened to jagged points, their tips visibly stained with dark Ichor. The bottoms of her legs are also marked with streaks of Ichor, giving her lower half a grimy, neglected look. When she detects a nearby Toon, her mouth shifts from its default closed frown into a slight, open-mouthed scowl, revealing a more aggressive posture. She carries a feather duster with a black handle and dark gray feathers whose ends have been blackened by Ichor, serving as both a visual signature and a reference to her Toon counterpart's passion for tidiness.

Description

Twisted Tisha is a roaming Common Twisted who patrols floors without any unique offensive ability. Unlike most Common Twisteds that rely purely on stat differences, she possesses a distinctive idle behavior: she periodically stops to sweep the floor with her feather duster, locking her in place for a full 10 seconds before resuming her patrol route. This sweeping phase makes her movement patterns less predictable than a standard roaming Twisted, as she can halt at any point along her path.

Her stats place her squarely in the Common Twisted range, with a walk speed of 10 and a chase speed of 18. Her attention span is a brief 1.5 seconds, meaning she loses interest in a hidden player quickly. Her detection range includes a 26-unit circular vision radius, a 60-unit direct vision cone, and a 125-unit hearing radius. While none of these figures are exceptional, the combination of her hearing radius and her tendency to idle near Machines can create problems for players attempting to complete Skill Checks nearby.

The primary threat Twisted Tisha poses is positional rather than mechanical. Her 10-second idle can effectively camp a Machine or block a narrow passageway, stalling Floor progression for solo players or teams without a dedicated Distractor. She was released on July 12, 2024, alongside Twisted Flutter, Twisted Shelly, and Twisted Teagan, and her associated Trinket is the Feather Duster.

How to Deal With Twisted Tisha

Twisted Tisha is a patrol-style Twisted with no special abilities beyond her notable 10-second idle phase during which she stops to sweep the floor with her feather duster. Because she lacks any debuffs, auras, or Machine-draining mechanics, she is one of the least dangerous Twisteds in terms of direct threat. However, her positional blocking can be surprisingly disruptive, particularly in solo runs or lobbies without a dedicated Distractor. Understanding her patrol rhythm and idle timing is essential for working around her efficiently rather than wasting time waiting for her to move.

Her chase speed of 18 is moderate for a Common Twisted, and her attention span of only 1.5 seconds means she gives up pursuit almost immediately after losing sight of a player. When spotted, sprint around a corner or break line of sight briefly and she will abandon the chase within moments. Always keep a small reserve of Stamina when working near her patrol route so you can react if she detects you unexpectedly. Avoid sprinting near her 125-unit hearing radius when you do not need to, as the sound of running footsteps can pull her toward your position. Speed-boosting items like Speed Candy or Dog Plush can make escaping her trivial, though these consumables are generally better saved for more dangerous Twisteds that pose a genuine lethal threat.

The central challenge Twisted Tisha presents is her tendency to idle directly on or near Machines. When she begins her sweeping animation, she remains completely stationary for a full 10 seconds, which can block players from approaching a Machine to start or continue a Skill Check. She is tied with Twisted Soulvester for the longest idle state in the game at this duration, so the delay is not insignificant during timed or high-pressure Floors. Players facing this situation have two practical options: wait patiently for her to finish sweeping and resume her patrol, or lure her away by briefly stepping into her detection range and then ducking out of sight before she closes the distance. Luring is the faster approach but carries added risk, especially if other Twisteds are roaming nearby and could catch you during the bait maneuver.

In team settings, coordination around Twisted Tisha is straightforward but important. A dedicated Distractor can draw her away from critical Machines while other players complete Skill Checks uninterrupted. Because her attention span is so short, the Distractor only needs to hold her focus for a brief moment before she resets and wanders off. Communication about her current position helps the team avoid unnecessary delays, and calling out when she enters her sweeping phase lets teammates know they have a safe 10-second window to move through her patrol zone without risk of being chased.

The Feather Duster trinket associated with Twisted Tisha does not alter her behavior, but players should consider their own trinket loadout when dealing with her on busy Floors. Defensive trinkets that reduce detection range or boost Stamina recovery can help players operate more comfortably within her patrol area. If Twisted Tisha hears a failed Skill Check and investigates but the player hides successfully, she will idle at the Machine for approximately 2 seconds before returning to her normal route. This post-alert idle is much shorter than her standard sweeping phase, but it means she lingers just long enough to catch a player who breaks cover too early. Wait for her to fully turn away before resuming work on that Machine.

During Panic Mode and Blackout phases, Twisted Tisha becomes marginally more threatening because reduced visibility and heightened Twisted aggression across the Floor can turn her idle blocking into a genuine hazard. A passageway she camps during a Blackout may force you into the path of a more dangerous pursuing Twisted, so maintain constant awareness of her position when planning escape routes in low-visibility conditions. In multi-Twisted scenarios more broadly, her low threat level means she should always be deprioritized. Focus your Stamina and escape resources on Twisteds with active abilities or higher chase speeds, and treat her as a minor positional obstacle. Her 125-unit hearing radius deserves respect, however, as loud player abilities can draw her toward your location from a moderate distance and complicate an already crowded Floor.

Trivia

• Twisted Tisha is the first Twisted to wield an object in-game, the second being Twisted Eggson, the third being Twisted Brusha, and the fourth being Twisted Soulvester.
• Twisted Rodger is seen holding a fake Research Capsule in his official render, so they are not the only Twisteds to ever be depicted with an item.
• Twisted Tisha is tied with Twisted Soulvester (when idling near Machines) for having the longest idle state in the game at 10 seconds.
• Twisted Tisha is the only Common Twisted to have a mechanic or ability of any sort, other than stat modifications.
• Her 10-second sweeping idle reflects her Toon counterpart's passion for cleaning.
• Twisted Tisha is the last Common Twisted to be optimized.
• If she hears a failed Skill Check and the player manages to hide, she will idle on the Machine for about 2 seconds before going back to roaming.
• Twisted Tisha's current attack face used to be her normal face before being optimized, which caused her to receive a new normal face instead. She is the first and currently only Twisted with an occurrence like this.
• Her render still displays her attack face (old normal face). It is currently unknown if this will be changed.
• This makes her the fourth Twisted eligible for a full render change, along with Twisted Finn, followed by Twisted Dandy, Twisted Astro and Twisted Glisten, Twisted Toodles, and Twisted Bobette and Twisted Coal.
• Akin to Twisted Finn and Twisted Glisten, her normal render can also change.
