Shelly Dandy’s World

Unlocking the Vintage Shelly skin requires dedication. Here’s the full checklist of tasks:

• Use Shelly’s Active Ability 125 Times
• Pick Up 100 Items
• Survive 15 Floors with 4 or More Players in Your Round
• Finish 150 Machines
• Survive 80 Floors
• Travel 150,000 Meters

Completing all these milestones grants you the Vintage Shelly skin. It’s a purely cosmetic reward, but it’s also a testament to your skill and persistence.

Tip: Focus on team play to efficiently complete the “Survive 15 Floors with 4+ Players” requirement while maximizing your ability usage to progress toward the 125 Inspiration activations.

Balancing Extraction vs. Support

Shelly is renowned for her exceptional Skill Check capabilities, making her one of the most efficient extractors in the game. However, she trades off stamina reserves—with only 2 stars in Stamina, limiting her ability to sprint for extended periods. Here are some key tactics:

1. Use “Inspiration” (Active Ability) strategically on teammates working on high-priority machines.
2. Leverage your own excellent Skill Checks to complete machines quickly, gaining movement speed boosts from your passive ability.
3. If you prefer a similar extraction specialist, consider Gigi, who shares Shelly’s 5-star Skill Check but has a different supportive role.

Team Dynamics

Shelly excels when paired with distractors and other supportive Toons:

• Goob or Pebble can keep Twisteds occupied while you focus on extraction.
• Astro can help offset your low stamina with his support abilities.
• Other Allies: Use your Inspiration ability on teammates with lower Extraction Speed to maximize efficiency.

Managing Stamina Limitations

Shelly’s main weakness is her low stamina, which requires careful management:

1. Prioritize stamina-boosting items to extend your sprint capabilities.
2. Use Problem Solver’s movement boost after machine completions to escape dangerous situations without sprinting.
3. Position yourself strategically to minimize the need for extended sprints, as faster Twisteds will easily catch you.

To further optimize Shelly’s gameplay, consider these recommended Trinket combos:

1. Magnifying Glass + Participation Award

   • Goal: Maximize extraction efficiency with her 5-star Skill Check.
   • Benefit: Her naturally large Skill Checks remain easy to hit despite size reductions, while gaining major extraction advantages.

2. Pink Bow + Magnifying Glass

   • Goal: Balance movement speed with extraction efficiency.
   • Benefit: Provides a crucial speed boost for survival while enhancing her already strong extraction capabilities.

3. Alarm/Vanity Mirror + Participation Award

   • Goal: Improve panic mode survival while maintaining extraction strengths.
   • Benefit: Stacked speed boosts during panic mode help overcome her stamina limitations.

4. Water Cooler + Speedy Shoes/Pink Bow

   • Goal: Counter her low stamina while preserving movement speed.
   • Benefit: The stamina boost from Water Cooler offsets her biggest weakness, while the speed trinket negates the movement penalty.

Advanced Strategy: When playing with coordinated teams, use Alarm + Participation Award to maximize extraction during regular gameplay, then leverage the Alarm’s sprint boost during Panic Mode to make up for your stamina limitations.
