Glisten Dandy’s World

Unlocking the Vintage Glisten skin requires mastering his extraction abilities and teleportation skills. Complete these challenging milestones:

• Use Reflection! 60 Times
• Pick Up 60 Items
• Travel 100,000 Meters
• Finish 100 Machines
• Survive 50 Floors
• Use 60 Items

Completing these challenges rewards you with the Vintage Glisten skin, showcasing your mastery of this extraction specialist with teleportation prowess.

Pro Tip: Use Reflection! strategically to position near machines and escape dangers, but also don’t hesitate to use it whenever it’s available to progress toward the 60 ability uses requirement.

Extraction Excellence

Glisten possesses perfect 5-star extraction speed, making him one of the premier machine completers in the game:

1. Top-Tier Completion: With a 1.50 extraction rating, Glisten matches Vee as one of the fastest machine completers.
2. Strategic Machine Selection: Prioritize machines in safer locations where your lower stealth won’t be as problematic.
3. Timing Awareness: Complete machines when Twisteds are distracted or in other areas of the map.
4. Team Coordination: Work with distractors like Goob and Looey to keep Twisteds away while you focus on extraction.

Mirror Teleportation

Glisten’s unique “Reflection!” ability provides unparalleled mobility and escape potential:

• Line of Sight Freedom: Unlike most abilities, Reflection! works regardless of line of sight, allowing teleportation through walls.
• Escape Mechanism: Use the ability to instantly escape pursuing Twisteds by teleporting to a teammate in a safer area.
• Cooldown Management: With a 100-second cooldown, timing is crucial—save the ability for when you truly need it.
• Strategic Positioning: Teleport to teammates near machines you want to complete or near the elevator during Panic Mode.
• Destination Awareness: Be cautious of where you’re teleporting—your low stealth might attract Twisteds at your destination.

Stealth Management

Glisten’s primary weakness is his 2-star stealth (5.0), which requires specific strategies to overcome:

1. Distance Awareness: Maintain greater distance from Twisteds compared to higher-stealth Toons.
2. Extraction Timing: Only approach machines when Twisteds are sufficiently far away or distracted by teammates.
3. Teammate Dependency: Rely on distractors with better stealth to draw Twisted attention away from your extraction efforts.
4. Teleportation Planning: Carefully select teleportation targets to avoid landing near Twisteds, as your low stealth makes you easily detected.
5. Library Strategy: On the Library floor, complete the last machine near the elevator to allow wall teleportation while saving stamina.

Optimize Glisten’s gameplay with these strategic trinket combinations that enhance his extraction prowess or address his stealth limitations:

Extraction Focus

1. Magnifying Glass + Participation Award

   • Purpose: Maximize extraction efficiency to near-Vee levels.
   • Benefits: Significantly enhances machine completion speed for players confident in their skill check abilities.
   • Caveat: Reduces skill check size to 1-star, making it challenging but rewarding for skilled players.
   • Ideal For: Experienced players who can consistently hit skill checks even with reduced size.

2. Blue Bandana + Machine Manual

   • Purpose: Enhance extraction while mitigating skill check weaknesses.
   • Benefits: Boosts extraction speed by 12.9% while the -5% skill check chance actually works in Glisten’s favor.
   • Advantage: More forgiving than Magnifying Glass combinations while still providing significant extraction benefits.
   • Ideal For: Players who want consistent extraction enhancement without high-risk skill checks.

Mobility Enhancement

1. Pink Bow + Speedy Shoes

   • Purpose: Compensate for detection due to low stealth with superior mobility.
   • Benefits: Enhanced walking and running speed helps escape Twisteds who detect you due to low stealth.
   • Synergy: Complements Reflection! ability by providing mobility between teleportation cooldowns.
   • Ideal For: Players who frequently find themselves being chased due to Glisten’s low stealth.

2. Dog Plush + Speedy Shoes

   • Purpose: Create escape opportunities through distraction and speed.
   • Benefits: Dog Plush creates distractions while Speedy Shoes provide the speed to capitalize on them.
   • Strategic Value: Particularly useful when your teleportation ability is on cooldown.
   • Ideal For: Solo players who can’t rely on teammates for distraction.

Balanced Approach

1. Speedy Shoes + Magnifying Glass

   • Purpose: Balance mobility and extraction efficiency.
   • Benefits: Improved movement speed for escaping danger while maintaining enhanced extraction capabilities.
   • Skill Requirement: Requires good skill check timing due to the reduced skill check size from Magnifying Glass.
   • Ideal For: Versatile players who switch between extraction and mobility as needed.

2. Diary + Blue Bandana

   • Purpose: Situational combination for team play with Goob.
   • Benefits: Diary enhances stealth effects when playing with Goob, while Blue Bandana boosts extraction.
   • Limited Utility: Not recommended for general play as Glisten’s stealth is too low to fully capitalize on Diary’s effects.
   • Ideal For: Coordinated team play where Goob is actively distracting Twisteds.

Advanced Strategy: When using Reflection! on the Library floor, position yourself to complete the final machine near the elevator, allowing you to teleport through walls to safety immediately afterward, saving valuable stamina during Panic Mode.
