Gigi Dandy’s World

Unlocking the Vintage Gigi skin requires mastering her item generation and extraction capabilities. Complete these challenging milestones:

• Use Surprise! 50 Times
• Finish 65 Machines
• Travel 85,000 Meters
• Purchase 30 Items from Dandy’s Elevator Shop

Completing these challenges rewards you with the Vintage Gigi skin, showcasing your mastery of this extraction specialist with item-generating prowess.

Pro Tip: Use Surprise! at the beginning of each floor, even when your inventory has space, to progress toward the 50 ability uses while generating items that can help with the item pickup and usage requirements.

Extraction Excellence

Gigi possesses perfect 5-star Skill Check capability, making her one of the most efficient extractors in the game despite average extraction speed:

1. Skill Check Mastery: With a massive Size 250 and Value 3.00, Gigi completes machines faster than almost any other Toon through consistently successful checks.
2. Strategic Machine Selection: Prioritize machines in safer locations where your stamina limitations won’t be as problematic.
3. Team Coordination: Focus on machine completion while relying on teammates with better mobility to handle distraction duties.
4. Position Awareness: Always plan escape routes before starting machines, as your stamina limitation means you can’t outrun Twisteds for long.

Random Item Generation

Gigi’s unique “Surprise!” ability provides valuable items but requires strategic management:

• Lucky Opportunities: Potentially obtain rare items like Health Kits, Smoke Bombs, Bandages, and Eject Buttons without spending Ichor.
• Strategic Timing: Use the ability when you have at least one free inventory slot to avoid wasting the opportunity.
• Inventory Management: Quickly use consumable items like Stopwatches, Jumper Cables, and Valves to clear inventory space.
• Item Storage: Save valuable items like Health Kits and Eject Buttons for critical moments or future floors.
• Risk Assessment: Weigh the potential benefits against the possibility of receiving unhelpful items that take up inventory space.

Stamina Management

Gigi’s primary weakness is her 1-star stamina, which requires specific strategies to overcome:

1. Critical Limitation: With only 100 stamina, Gigi struggles to escape from Twisteds once spotted.
2. Trinket Dependency: Almost requires stamina-enhancing trinkets like Endurance and Well-Paced to reach a more viable 120 stamina.
3. Item Prioritization: Focus on collecting and using stamina-boosting items over speed items when playing as Gigi.
4. Strategic Movement: Plan routes carefully, minimize unnecessary running, and always be aware of hiding spots.
5. Ability Synergy: Use “Surprise!” to potentially generate stamina-related items like Bottles o’ Pop to overcome this weakness.
