**Tuffy** is a playable mouse character that can be selected in a match. He can be purchased or drawn in Shops.

Little Tuffy just can't stop eating, maybe that's why he's so round. He's highly dependent on his uncle Jerry and likes playing with bazookas when nobody's looking.

## Background Story

### Developer Post (Chinese Server)

#### "A cute little mouse with big appetite."

Tuffy is a young grey mouse in a white diaper. Because of his small size, he is sometimes called "Nibbles". In sharp contrast to his petite body, Tuffy has a bottomless appetite, and he has no difficulty in eating a large table of delicacies in one go.

### Cartoon Origin

Tuffy first appeared in "The Milky Waif" as an orphan, but later as Jerry's nephew in "Safety Second". In this cartoon short, we can see Tuffy's more playful and mischievous personality, which also inspired his skills as explosive weapons.

In the short "Little School Mouse", which Tuffy's poster artwork is inspired from, Jerry acted as Tuffy's teacher. Jerry attempted to teach him to escape Tom's paw, pluck his whiskers, and even going as far as to put a bell on his neck. Tuffy's pure and innocent side is shown when he "failed" to do what he was told. Instead of secretly warping the bell around Tom's neck while he was still asleep, Tuffy presented the bell as a present, which made Tom appreciative of the gift. In the end, Tuffy had been promoted as the teacher, pointing out on the board which suggested cats and mice should be friends.

## Character Strategy

### Attribute Analysis

* Pros: Tuffy is excellent in speed, dodging, skill strength, and recovery, so his role in the game is mainly to kite the cat and rescue teammates.

* Cons: Tuffy's biggest shortcoming is that his HP is low, so players must be careful when kiting the cat. It is advised to avoid confronting the cat head-on. Utilize his dexterity and recovery abilities to make up for his low HP.

### Skill Analysis

#### **Active Skill: Bowling Ball**

* Bowling Ball is a relatively important self-protection skill for Tuffy, who has relatively low HP. Using this skill can not only quickly allow Tuffy to retreat after rescuing teammates or being rescued, but also make himself more flexible when kiting the cat, making it difficult for the cat to land a hit. Therefore, it is generally recommended to upgrade this skill to Lv. 2 first.

#### **Passive Skill: Healthy and Strong**

* Healthy and Strong makes up for Tuffy's low HP very well. To kite more safely, he should upgrade his Lv. 2 passive first. Even if he is accidentally caught and tied to a rocket, Tuffy can still restore his HP, so that after being rescued, he will be targeted less likely by the cat afterwards.

* While Lv. 3 passive is not as important, as Tuffy can also immune to explosives by substituting the effect with Lv. 2 Bowling Ball, it can allow Tuffy to safely pick them up to blow up the cat and the Wall Crack, even if it is protected by bubbles released by the bubblegum machine.

#### **Weapon Skill: Bazooka**

* Bazooka is Tuffy's core skill. With its high damage, it is a very good means of offense when attacking the cat and rescuing teammates. Bazooka can not only be used to destroy the Wall Crack, but also blow away opened mousetraps (This only works if there is an obstacle near the mousetraps, otherwise it will not work).

* However, the range of ammunition released by the Bazooka is limited, and it will explode early when it hits an obstacle, and the control time after hitting the cat is relatively short, so players must pay attention to the nearby terrain when using it.

#### **Second Weapon Skill: Cloaked Sensor Mine**

* Cloaked Sensor Mine can be placed when you are pushing a wedge of cheese, preferably closer to the room's door, so you can react faster when you see the mine's timer.

* Because Cloaked Sensor Mine has a timer, the cat can easily avoid it by quickly dodging it by leading it to an obstacle. Tuffy can trigger the cloaked sensor mine by throwing an item at it, so that it triggers before the cat gets near, increasing its successful rate.

* Cloaked Sensor Mine deals heavy damage to the Wall Crack, so Tuffy should use them to break the Wall Crack faster.

## Recommended Perks

S Class Perk **Fearless** (★★★★☆)

* It is a rescuing perk, guaranteeing Tuffy's survivability and the rescued teammate during the rescue.

S Class Perk **Blood of Iron** (★★★★★)

* Increase Tuffy's survivability, on the other hand, to rescue teammates while in the state of Iron Blood.

B Class Perk **Cut and Run** (★★★★☆)

* Increases Tuffy's chance of escaping the cat's pursuit after rescuing, as well as increasing the teammate's too.

B Class Perk **Leap** (★★★☆☆)

* Makes Tuffy more flexible, and with the aid of Bowling Ball, he can be harder to catch!

C Class Perk **Help Me** (★★★★★)

* A must-bring perk for all characters, so that teammates can rescue you faster.

## Character Evaluation

Tuffy is positioned as a Cheese and Distract. He can swiftly avoid the cat's attacks with his active skill, combining with his weapon skill to attack the cat, he can flee quickly while kiting. But be wary of his low HP, especially when facing Butch and Kate.
