Finn’s Core Strategies
Extraction Excellence
Finn shines with his perfect 5-star Skill Check rating, making him one of the most reliable extractors in the game. His large skill check size and high value create consistent machine progress:
- Skill Check Mastery: With a Size 200 and Value 2.5, Finn can complete machines faster than most other Toons through consistently successful checks.
- Chain Completion: His Reel In passive creates a snowball effect where each completed machine helps him reach the next one faster.
- Timing Awareness: The 10-second speed boost window requires strategic planning to maximize distance covered between objectives.
- Team Coordination: Communicate with teammates about machine completions to prepare for your speed boost opportunities.
Speed Advantage
Finn’s unique passive ability fundamentally changes his gameplay after machine completions:
- 33% Movement Boost: Significant speed increase that can help escape Twisteds or quickly reach the next objective.
- Panic Mode Value: Speed boost becomes particularly valuable during Panic Mode for quick elevator access.
- Twisted Finn Counter: While not completely negating Twisted Finn’s debuff, provides partial resistance when both effects are active.
- Map Traversal: Makes Finn one of the fastest Toons for covering large distances in short bursts.
Stamina Management
Finn’s primary weakness is his 2-star stamina, which requires careful management to fully leverage his speed advantages:
- Limited Endurance: Low stamina pool (125) means careful sprint usage is essential, especially when boost is active.
- Trinket Dependency: Benefits greatly from stamina-enhancing trinkets like Well-Paced and Endurance.
- Team Synergy: Pairs exceptionally well with Astro, whose stamina-restoring ability complements Finn’s weakness.
- Speed vs. Stamina Balance: Learn to balance walking and sprinting during speed boost periods to maximize distance while preserving stamina.
