## Character Strategy

### Attribute Analysis

* Robin Hood Tuffy's overall attribute is at the lower middle level among all mice, especially in terms of HP, as fragile as any other Tuffy characters (except Mouseketeer Tuffy), but his skills make up for this shortcoming very well in all aspects.

### Skill Analysis

#### **Active Skill: Bouncy Ball**

* When Robin Hood Taffy's active skill is released in Lv. 1, he charges on the spot, and he can also charge while in mid-air! As long as the skill process bar appears, it means that the bounce can be performed, and the duration of the bouncing also depends on the progress of the skill process bar.

Bouncy Ball can immune to certain control effects when used after upgrading to Lv. 2, and this can be used in many ways appropriately:

* 1. When the cat grabs a teammate and prepares to tie them to the rocket, Robin Hood Tuffy can charge up and down at the position of the rocket where the cat is going to tie onto, which can effectively prevent the cat from doing so (Lv. 1 only does DMG, Lv. 2 stuns, Lv. 3 allows teammate to drop from the cat's hand).

* 2. Bouncy Ball can also help Robin Hood Tuffy carry cheese more efficiently and able to reach to the mouse holes faster.

* 3. During the Wall Crack phase, Robin Hood Tuffy can literally become an "item", which he can do so by using active skill to bounce up and down at the wall, causing strong damage.

#### **Passive Skill: Wild Fitness**

* When Wild Fitness is at Lv. 1, Robin Hood Tuffy can permanently increase his jump height by eating food, and generally 2-3 food can allow him to reach higher platforms, so with the passive's existence, players can completely forget about the perk Leap, and leave the perk points for other more beneficial perks.

* When Wild Fitness has been upgraded to Lv. 2, you can get a shield effect INSTANTLY. Don't rush to upgrade this skill to Lv.2, save a skill point, and upgrade the skill immediately when you encounter any danger. The effect is similar to that of King Jerry's shield, which can ensure your own safety while allowing you to rescue at the same time.
	+ Moreover, this is suitable for players who are afraid of the stun effect after Fearless state, as you can use the upgrade to counteract it.

* Lv. 3 passive skill does not give out any significant bonuses, so it is not recommended to upgrade to Lv. 3 in the early game. However, just like the Lv. 2 instant shield effect, when upgrading to Lv. 3, it also gives out an instant shield.

#### **Weapon Skill: Beanstalk**

Beanstalk is a very practical skill for creating terrain and restoring HP. Here are some tips about the Beanstalk skill:

* If you place a Beanstalk and immediately climb it, you would drop down because the platform for the Beanstalk hasn't been generated yet. Robin Hood Tuffy players are advised to wait at least half a second before immediately climbing the Beanstalk, or you can just stop mid-way before continuing to climb.

* Use Beanstalk to protect yourself and teammates when Fearless state is about to end. As long as you seize the time to let yourself climb on the Beanstalk when the effect ends, dropping down allows you to escape better.

* After Lv. 2, mice can recover part of their HP by climbing on the top of the Beanstalk's platform. As long as you jump a few times, you can get HP again, helping you quickly recover to full HP.

* In some special locations on different maps, we can also use Beanstalk to achieve the effect of crossing between upper and lower rooms! Such as: Dining room → Bedroom → Corridor, Armor Room → Bell Tower in the Night Castle maps; the chimney on the right side of the Kitchen → Deck in the Summer Cruise maps, left side of the Cinema → Captain’s Headquarters, etc... As long as the player is familiarized with the map layouts, this will be an easy trick to pull off.

* Beanstalk can be released while moving, so players can also plant Beanstalk while kiting the cat. Use the climbing speed advantage of the Beanstalk and its HP recovery effect to deal with the cat.
	+ Additionally, you might as well try to combine the Beanstalk with Bouncy Ball while falling off to help you quickly escape from the cat's pursuit~

## Recommended Upgrade Order

#### **Active** + **Weapon** + **Weapon** + **Active** + **Active** + **Any**

* It is recommended that you give priority to learning active skill, which can achieve efficient flexibility effects in the early game. Then continuously upgrade weapon skill to recover HP and gain escape capabilities for yourself and your teammates.
	+ Of course, the specific upgrade order can also be flexibly changed according to the gameplay.

## Recommended Perks

Due to the limitation of Robin Hood Tuffy's perk points, he can equip any standard deck sets (**Fearless**, **Blood of Iron**, **Help Me**), and then any 3 or 4 costing perks of your liking.

**Help Me** is currently a must-have perk for any mouse, while **Blood of Iron** and **Fearless** have both survival and rescue capabilities, and the remaining supplementary perks can be determined according to personal preferences:

* 1. If you are in a team, you can choose B class **Lesson Learned** or C class **Foodie** for the remaining perks, to quickly clear mousetraps or open cheese from boxes, in order to make up a certain contribution to the team.

* 2. If you are a Distract role, you can choose B class **Fight Alone** or B class **Precision Shot** for the remaining perks, and use theese perk effects to deal with the cat, but requires you a great cat-kiting ability.

* 3. If you are a Survival role, you can choose B class **Will to Live** or C class **Strong** for the remaining perks. Don't think about what will happen after victory, first think about what will happen after losing. These perks give you certain recovery abilities when you are weakened or caught in the hands of the cat.

## 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

* In the early game, use the active skill to quickly carry cheese and attract the cat's attention, and then use the skill to kite the cat to buy time for teammates to push the cheese. Even if you got caught, Robin Hood Tuffy himself has a certain ability to escape after being rescued by his teammates.

### Rescuing Teammates

* In the mid-game, the cat tends to guard strongly, whether it be the cheese, mouse holes or rockets. Robin Hood Tuffy can guard the key intersections for teammates to push safely. Once the cat passes by, use Bouncy Ball to stun the cat, buying more time for them.

### Wall Crack Phase

* When the cat is near the Wall Crack, immediately rush to break the wall crack by using Bouncy Ball (in the directions of up or down), as using this method can instantly drain the wall's HP.

* You can also provide cover for teammates by placing Beanstalk around the area. After all, Robin Hood’s own HP is not that high.

## Character Evaluation

Robin Hood Tuffy's role in the game is mainly Distract + Assist: active skill can not only carry cheese, but also intercept the cat and break the Wall Crack greatly, weapon skill can assist you and your teammates to escape and quickly restore HP, passive skill can improve your survivability to a certain extent. Overall, Robin Hood Tuffy is a fairly flexible character.
