Cosmo’s Core Strategies
Team Healing Specialist
As one of only four healers in the game, Cosmo’s Sharing is Caring ability makes him invaluable for team survival. His unique ability to transfer hearts directly creates lifesaving opportunities:
- Priority Healing: Focus on healing distractors and Main Character Toons who are more likely to draw Twisted attention.
- Health Management: Always maintain at least 2 hearts for yourself—sacrificing too many hearts can leave you vulnerable.
- Cooldown Awareness: With a 60-second cooldown, time your healing for critical moments rather than minor damage.
- Team Coordination: Communicate with teammates to collect health items, allowing you to replenish hearts you’ve shared.
Survival Excellence
Cosmo features exceptional survival stats that complement his healing role:
- 5-Star Stamina (175): Exceptional endurance for repositioning, escaping danger, or reaching teammates quickly.
- 4-Star Stealth (15): Superior hiding capability allows safe approach to injured teammates without drawing Twisted attention.
- Safe Healing: High stealth makes Cosmo particularly effective at healing distractors without disrupting their distraction.
- Synergy with Sprout: Excellent partner for Sprout, as Cosmo can replenish hearts more quickly than Sprout’s longer cooldown.
Extraction Challenges
Cosmo’s primary weakness is his extraction capability, requiring specific strategies to overcome:
- 1-Star Skill Check: Extremely small skill check size (50) makes machine completion challenging without trinket assistance.
- Low Extraction Value: At only 1.0, Cosmo has the second-lowest extraction rating in the game, ahead of only Shrimpo.
- Trinket Dependency: Requires specific trinkets like Thinking Cap to compensate for extraction limitations.
- Team Role: Best suited for healing and support rather than primary extraction—focus on keeping extractors alive.

Trinket Combinations
Optimize Cosmo’s gameplay with these strategic trinket combinations that address his extraction weakness and enhance his support capabilities:
Extraction Enhancement
-
Thinking Cap + Team-Oriented Trinket
- Purpose: Directly address Cosmo’s tiny Skill Check size.
- Benefits: Increases Skill Check size by 40 units (from 50 to 90), dramatically improving extraction success rate.
- Recommendation: Essential trinket for any Cosmo player struggling with Skill Checks.
-
Blue Bandana + Thinking Cap
- Purpose: Improve extraction speed while compensating for Skill Check weakness.
- Benefits: Blue Bandana boosts extraction speed while Thinking Cap offsets the reduced Skill Check size penalty.
- Ideal For: Players who want to contribute more to machine completion without failing checks.
-
Pink Bow + Vee’s Remote/Wrench
- Purpose: Leverage Cosmo’s high stamina while boosting team extraction.
- Benefits: Pink Bow enhances movement while Vee’s Remote or Wrench provides direct machine completion assistance.
- Best For: Team-oriented players who prioritize positioning and support over personal extraction.
Survivability Focus
-
Cardboard ‘Armor’
- Purpose: Provide consistent damage reduction throughout the game.
- Benefits: Permanent health protection helps maintain heart supply for sharing with teammates.
- Advantage: More reliable than one-time-use trinkets like Savory Charm.
-
Ghost Snakes In A Can / Sweet Charm
- Purpose: Reduce cooldown on Sharing is Caring ability.
- Benefits: More frequent healing opportunities for critical team support.
- Ideal For: Players focusing on maximizing Cosmo’s healing potential.
Important Note: While Participation Award and Magnifying Glass can speed up extraction, they should only be used by experienced players comfortable with Cosmo’s extremely small Skill Check size. These trinkets further reduce this size, making them high-risk options for most players.
Final Tips & Takeaways
- Heart Resource Management: Collect health items whenever possible and coordinate with teammates to maximize healing efficiency.
- Strategic Healing: Prioritize healing distractors and teammates in immediate danger over those with more sustainability.
- Extraction Awareness: Accept your limitations with machine completion—focus on your healing role unless equipped with Thinking Cap.
- Stealth Advantage: Use your high stealth rating to safely navigate to injured teammates without drawing Twisted attention.
- Cooldown Timing: Remember that your ability has a 60-second cooldown—use it for meaningful healing rather than minor damage.
Bottom Line: Cosmo excels as a team healer with exceptional survivability stats that complement his supportive role. While his extraction capabilities are limited, his ability to directly transfer hearts to teammates makes him invaluable in challenging situations. By managing your hearts wisely, coordinating with teammates, and selecting appropriate trinkets to address your weaknesses, you’ll become the lifeline your team needs while steadily progressing toward your Vintage Cosmo skin. For players who enjoy a support role focused on team success over individual achievement, Cosmo offers a uniquely rewarding gameplay experience.
