Best Toons Tier List & Rankings - Dandy's World Wiki

Overview

The best Toon depends on your role: extracting Machines, distracting Twisteds, supporting the team, or surviving solo. This tier list ranks the strongest picks in Dandy's World using their in-game stats and abilities, with concrete numbers like Shelly's 5-star Skill Check and Pebble's 5-star Movement. For the full roster, browse all Toons, and learn the basics in our beginner guide.

Reach Floor 20+ Every Time

This strategy breakdown shows how to consistently reach Floor 20 and beyond by combining the right Toons, Trinkets, and team coordination. It pairs perfectly with the tier picks below, especially for extractor and distractor synergy. For team roles and pacing, also read our floors guide.

S, A, and B Tier Rankings

This tier table groups the strongest Toons by overall power and team value. S-tier picks dominate their role with defining 5-star stats, A-tier are excellent all-rounders, and B-tier shine in specific setups. Use it as a quick reference before building a team. Detailed reasoning for each pick follows in the role sections.

Best Extractors

Extractors complete Machines fastest, and the top three all run maxed Skill Check and Extraction Speed. Shelly leads year-round with her 5-star Skill Check and Inspiration ability, while Vee offers the strongest always-available combo. Learn machine mechanics in the floors guide.

Best Distractors & Kiters

Distractors keep Twisteds busy so extractors can work safely, and speed plus Stamina are everything here. Pebble is the undisputed king, while several mobile supports can fill in. Combine with the right trinkets for maximum uptime.

Best Supports

Supports keep the team alive and stocked. Astro's Nap Time restores Stamina to a chosen teammate and his Well Rested passive grants +50% Stamina regeneration, making him the backbone of any distracting comp. His 5-star Stealth also lets him finish unsafe Machines right under a Twisted's nose, so he rarely needs heals himself.

Cosmo is the premier healer. His Sharing is Caring ability redistributes a Heart to any hurt teammate in range and highlights them through walls, stretching Health Kits twice as far for Main Characters. He pairs perfectly with Sprout, who reimburses Hearts via Baked Sweets, creating an efficient loop covered in our survival guide.

Best Beginner & Solo Picks

New and solo players benefit from forgiving, self-sufficient Toons. These picks round out the tier list with reliable stats and abilities that cover mistakes. For solo-specific tactics, see the solo run guide.

• Poppy — the recommended beginner starter. Balanced 3-star stats and Panic Pop, a passive that grants Movement Speed after taking a hit, make her forgiving while learning to kite Twisteds.
• Brightney — arguably the best solo Toon. 4-star Extraction plus 3-star Movement, and her Night Light ability counters Blackouts by revealing Twisteds, and her low Stealth is a non-factor without teammates dragging aggro.
• Vee — a top-tier solo extractor. Her Mic Check and Camera Hijack abilities reveal Twisteds and Machines, so a lone player always knows where to go and what to avoid.
• Finn — a beginner-friendly survivalist. His Reel In passive grants +35% Movement Speed on every completed Machine, stacking into enormous speed that lets him outwalk even Twisted Dyle on busy Floors.
