## Background Story

### Developer Post (Chinese Server)

#### "Cute and sweet, an angel among mice."

Michelle is a snow-white mouse that looks soft and petite, but when facing enemies, she can be a strong backing for her friends, for she is a little angel who can bring cheese and happiness.

### Cartoon Origin

Michelle's design is inspired by the cartoon episode "Blue Cat Blues", and her base appearance has been optimized in the game.

Tuffy once took Michelle for a ride. Although it was just a glimpse, her gentle and beautiful image has already impressed the audience deeply.

## Character Strategy

### Attribute Analysis

* Michelle's overall attributes are relatively balanced among all mice, and her speed attribute is quite prominent.

### Skill Analysis

#### **Active Skill: Crybaby**

* After Michelle triggers Crybaby, her teammate has to quickly find her to become a Transformed mouse. This will work best if communicating with VC.

* Michelle can also allow a teammate that is in Blood of Iron state to comfort her, so that the teammate can survive not being weakened.

* During Michelle's crying, both parties will get a shield that lasts for 4 seconds. At this time, even if the teammate moves to interrupt the skill, the shield will not disappear immediately. After crying, the teammate will transform for about 15 seconds, which can be used to attack the cat and Wall Crack.

Regarding **Crybaby**, here are some tips to share with players:

* Tip 1: When rescuing a teammate on a rocket, if the player and teammate are attacked, they can quickly gather near the rocket, and let Michelle use active skill to trigger the shield effect on both sides, and then Michelle or the teammate can immediately cancel it, you can use this shield effect to rescue the teammate on the rocket.

* Tip 2: During the Wall Crack phase, Michelle can try to only act near the Wall Crack, and then be attacked by the cat (make sure if you survive the attack). You can call the teammate to come over, use the active skill to transform the teammate, letting them safely smash the wall in the transformed state.

#### **Passive Skill: Mighty Michelle**

* When Michelle takes damage at Lv. 1 passive, she can provide movement speed and rescue speed to nearby teammates, but the timing of receiving damage in the actual game is relatively uncontrollable, so there is no need to deliberately pursue triggering the passive. As a rule of thumb, the Lv. 1 passive will be stronger during the Wall Crack Phase, because all teammates gather together at this time.

* Lv. 2 passive increases max HP when the HP value is greater than 50%, Michelle will not get weakened after resisting the attack of ordinary cats, which greatly enhances her survivability. And Lv. 3 passive reduces the time of weakened state and increases her speed of crawling on the ground. If paired with Blood of Iron, Michelle can quickly escape from a large distance after being weakened by the cat and buy more time for teammates.

#### **Weapon Skill: Shapeshift!**

* Michelle can shapeshift into a lot of items through weapon skill. The cat can’t easily find out her location after shapeshifting. Michelle can only be revealed after being attacked. However, Guard Tom’s Spy on skill can also reveal Michelle.

* Michelle can interact and move after shapeshifting, and can also be immune to damage once, which greatly enhances Michelle's survivability. Many items in the game can be shapeshifted by Michelle: plates, glasses, forks, golf balls, even carts, ice buckets, the flowers, the triangle in Forest Ranch, etc..

Regarding Michelle's **Shapeshift!**, here are some tips to share with players:

* Tip 1 (Surveillance): Michelle can shapeshift into an item and hide in places on the map where the cat frequently pass by. When the cat passes by, she can inform her teammates of their location so that teammates can choose a safe place to push the cheese.

* Tip 2 (Rescue): After Michelle shapeshifts into an item, she can still rescue, which her rescue speed will also increase, especially after turning into a cart, she can directly store the rescued teammate and escape together.

* Tip 3 (Hiding): When the cat is chasing the player, Michelle needs to ensure that the items shapeshifted by weapon skill are relatively common, so that when the cat is chasing the player, she can immediately shapeshift into an ordinary item and hide in a pile, causing the cat to lose their target.

* Tip 4 (Guarding Rocket): Michelle can also use items after shapeshifting, so after the teammate is caught, you can estimate the rocket's position where the cat have tied the mouse, and shapeshift into an item in advance and camp near the rocket. When the cat comes, immediately use items to attack and stun the cat to rescue the teammate. Since she looks like an item, it would be difficult for the cat to react and dodge.

* Tip 5 (Distract): After Michelle turns into a cart, she can directly knock the cat away. This keeps the cat under constant control and restricting the cat from moving.

## Recommended Upgrade Order

#### **Weapon** + **Passive** + **Weapon** + **Passive** + **Weapon** + **Active** + **Passive**

* This upgrade order allows Michele to give full play to her functionality in the early game. After reaching Lv. 3, she can learn Lv. 2 weapon. It can not only allow her to monitor the cat safely, but also act as a rescue position. Players who like to play Michele as a Cheese role can learn the Lv. 2 passive at the Lv. 4 to increase her survivability when pushing.

## Recommended Perks

Michelle is a Rescue and Distract character, here are some perk cards that enhance her that are suitable for her survival and rescue capabilities:

### **Balanced Deck**:

#### S Class **Fearless** + S Class **Blood of Iron** + C Class **Help Me** + other 4-fee perks

This is a relatively core set of rescue cards for Michelle. The remaining 4-fee perks that needs to be equipped can be freely selected according to different situations. Players can choose to equip from the following recommended 4-fee perk cards: **Fight Alone**, **Cut and Run, Strong, Mutual Aid**.

* S Class **Fearless** (★★★★☆)

* S Class **Blood of Iron** (★★★★☆)

* B Class **Fight Alone** (★★★★☆)

* B Class **Cut and Run** (★★★☆☆)

* C Class **Strong** (★★★★☆)

* C Class **Mutual Aid** (★★★☆☆)

* C Class **Help Me** (★★★★★)

## In-game Strategy

### Scouting Phase

* In the case of ensuring your own safety, cooperate with your teammates to explore every room on the map as much as possible, to collect information about room items + drinks + cat's location and cheese refresh positions.

### Cheese Phase

* When you don’t know the cat’s location: Michelle can shapeshift into some smaller items (forks, plates, golf balls, etc.) at the beginning of the game, and go to places where the cat pass frequently to monitor the cat’s position and provide a safe environment for teammates to push.

* When you know the cat's location: You can choose a safe location to push, or you can find items in the map to remember, and prepare to interfere with the cat.

### Rescuing Teammates

* After a teammate has been caught, you can shapeshift into an item and camp at the position of the rocket in advance, and when the cat is tying the mouse onto the rocket, use stunning item to rescue the teammate.

* When rescuing the teammate, you can shapeshift into a smaller item and slowly approach the rocket. Look for opportunities to directly rescue.

### Wall Crack Phase

* Michelle can stay around and wait for the active skill to trigger, and once triggered, she can help her teammates transform and break the Wall Crack. Of course, you can also actively shapeshift into a fruit platter and move yourself near the Wall Crack, so that your teammates can use it to hit the wall. In the end, you can also shapeshift into items, and then bring extra items to smash the Wall Crack as well.

## Character Evaluation

Michelle's role in the game is mainly Distract and Rescue, but given that Michelle's own cheese pushing speed is not bad, so it's okay to be a Cheese role when needed. In other times beside pushing, she can also perform Crybaby for her teammates when in need (to escape weakened state caused by the cat when in the state of Blood of Iron), use weapon skill to monitor the cat's actions secretly, and shapeshift into an item to block an attack, in order to rescue safely.

## Trivia

* Michelle's Crybaby skill is inspired from the episode "The Milky Waif". In the episode, Jerry gets enraged at Tom for hitting a vulnerable Tuffy with a fly swatter, and that is similar to how Michelle cries to a teammate and transform them into an angry Jerry.

* Michelle can shapeshift many other characters' skills, like the fried swung from Tom's Frying Pan, even the lasso from Tara. However, this usually occurs in accidents, so there is no need to deliberately try in an actual game.

* Michelle's cartoon counterpart is very different from the game, she is much older, and that she's married with Tuffy (despite being young). In order to make sense and readjust the original story to a more child-friendly narrative, her personality and age have changed.

* Michelle's original name in the cartoon episode is called Toots, which is similar to another character with the same name, thus her name was changed.

* The current version of Crybaby now allows the teammate to comfort Michelle to transform, instead of being transformed by Michelle like before.

* The rain cast by Michelle when using Crybaby is called "Sad Rain" (悲伤的雨).

* Michelle's standby animation is similar to how Tuffy stands still with his arms on his back in the episode Safety Second.

* Michelle has the most voice acted skins, which is a total of 8 skins.

### Etymology

* Her name Michelle, is a variant of the French name Michèle, the French feminine form of Michel (which is similar to Miko).
