## Background Story

### Developer Post (Chinese Server)

#### "His sword of courage can break through any hard obstacles."

Mouseketeer Tuffy wears a blue cassock and a d'Artagnan hat. While continuing to practice swordsmanship and courage, he also strengthened his use of armors. He who knows nothing fears nothing.

### Cartoon Origin

Mouseketeer Tuffy originated as an official mouseketeer in "The Two Mouseketeers" of the 24th Oscar's best animated short film, and later his backstory of becoming a mouseketeer is told in "Touché, Pussy Cat!".

After becoming a mouseketeer, he and Mouseketeer Jerry decided to head onto Night Castle for a lavish banquet, where Musketeer Tom had been guarding. When he finally realized the two trespassers, he had a sword fight with them. Mouseketeer Tuffy's bravery emerged again when he poked at Tom without hesitation and fired a food cannon at him, eventually leading them to their victory. Later in "Tom and Chérie", he even taught himself how to control a knight helmet to duel with Musketeer Tom!

## Character Strategy

### Attribute Analysis

* Pros: Compared with Mouseketeer Jerry, Mouseketeer Tuffy is more inclined to teamwork. His attack speed is slightly lower than Mouseketeer Jerry, but his rescuing ability (with Helmet) is much better than that of the former.
	+ In addition, although Mouseketeer Tuffy's HP recovery is not as strong as other Tuffy characters, his attack power and destructive power are much higher than them, so he can not only assist teammates, but also attack the cat more safely.

* Cons: If Mouseketeer Tuffy equips Helmet as his choice of weapon, he will be fairly weak without Courage, especially in early-game. If the player is not careful enough, Mouseketeer Tuffy's invincible helmet may just be a timer for the cat to weaken you inevitably.

### Skill Analysis

#### **Active Skill: Courageous Strike**

* Mouseketeer Tuffy's skill Courageous Strike is an important source of damage to cats, and casting this skill at Lv1 can also gain additional Courage. The most important thing for Mouseketeer Tuffy is the skillful use of Courage, so you must be careful when your Courage is full, and take the initiative to fight with the cat when your Courage is about to get full, which the skill CD will be 1.5 seconds. You can completely make Mouseketeer Tuffy have a sword combo between jumps.

* This skill is a little weak at Lv1, which it is quite difficult to stun the cat; after Lv2, hitting 5 times will stun the cat, which can be used to assist teammates; after Lv3, which hitting 3 times can cause stun and have additional damage effects. The skilled Mouseketeer Tuffy can even fight against any cats.

#### **Passive Skill: Courageous Champion**

* Courage is the core of Mouseketeer Tuffy's all skills. Mouseketeer Tuffy without courage is useless (except his second weapon skill). If you don't master the timing of Courage, Mouseketeer Tuffy will be just like having no skills at all, so the upgrade of passive skill should be given priority, and you can upgrade it first in the early game. "Passive + Active" or "Passive + Weapon" depends entirely on which skill you rely on.

* Courage points will gradually accumulate and will also slowly consume by time when Courage is full, which is different from the usual traditional blue bars in other games. Therefore, so not only it is necessary to increase the Courage accumulation speed, the increase of Courage duration is also important. The increase Courage time is equal to increasing the fault tolerance rate, so the upgrade of passive skill is a must.

#### **Weapon Skill: Helmet**

* Mouseketeer Tuffy's weapon skill Helmet can provide strong support to teammates who push cheese and break the wall crack, and so Mouseketeer Tuffy is a team type. Moreover, when using Helmet, the active skill becomes rolling, which causes damage to the cat. So it can deal a small amount of damage while defending at the same, which has a great effect on consuming the cat's skills.

* When a teammate is stunned from Fearless and they have been covered by the Helmet, they won't be protected during the stun. This is due to the trigger layer problem. The protection can only trigger if the teammate goes INTO the Helmet. So Mouseketeer Tuffy is recommended to shield the teammate during the stun and not before the stun.

#### **Second Weapon Skill: Mouseketeer's Spear**

* Mouseketeer Tuffy's second weapon skill used to be only usable when Courage is active, but after update, the skill has become a lot stronger ever since. Mouseketeer's Spear has a lot of uses, such as using it to increase your POV (as long as you are holding it), using it to stun cat by surprise from a long distance, escaping the cat and even using it to quickly recover teammates by letting them ride on it (which the majority of players did not know this strategy).

* However when using this skill, be cautious of your surroundings. Because the accumulation speed takes a while and you have to stand still to stun the cat, you would be an easy target for getting weakened easily like Tara and Toots. Also when the skill is at Lv1, the flying speed is very slow, which the cat can easily avoid it, so it is a priority to upgrade to maximum as soon as possible.

## Character Evaluation

Mouseketeer Tuffy is a character that is very dependent on Courage. Without the support of Courage, he only has two skills (Except when equipping Mouseketeer's Spear as the choice of weapon). Therefore, grasping Courage is a must-have skill for the player. Mouseketeer Tuffy is a team-oriented and Assist role, and what he has to do more often is to distract the cat and buy more time for his teammates. When Courage is not full, you should use items around you; when Courage is almost full, you can attack the cat without issue.
