Why 5-Star Stats Matter
A five-star stat gives a Toon the strongest base value available in that category, which can dramatically change how safely they move, distract Twisteds, or complete Machines. Understanding dandy's world 5 star stats helps you choose a Toon for the job your team actually needs instead of judging a stat spread by its total number of stars.
Toons have six displayed stats: Health, Skill Check, Movement Speed, Stamina, Stealth, and Extraction Speed. Health uses hearts, while the other five use a one-to-five-star scale. More stars generally mean a stronger value, although the practical value depends on the situation and your role.
Most standard Toons distribute 15 stars across their five star-rated stats. Main Toons receive 16 stars, while special exceptions break that pattern. Dandy and Dyle have five stars in every rated stat, whereas Shrimpo has one star in each.
| Toon type | Total rated stars | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Toon | 15 | Distributed across five star-rated stats |
| Main Toon | 16 | Has one additional star |
| Dandy and Dyle | 25 | Five stars in all five rated stats |
| Shrimpo | 5 | One star in every rated stat |
Health is separate from the star system. Most Toons have three hearts, Main Toons generally have two, and Soulvester can have four hearts. More health gives extra room for mistakes, but a lethal Twisted can still defeat a Toon in one hit.
Five-Star Values at a Glance
A five-star rating is not a vague quality label. Every level has a specific in-game value. The table below shows the full scale, making it easier to see what a fifth star actually adds.
| Stat | 1 star | 2 stars | 3 stars | 4 stars | 5 stars |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skill Check size | 50 | 100 | 150 | 200 | 250 |
| Skill Check value | 1 | 1.5 | 2 | 2.5 | 3 |
| Skill Check speed | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Walk speed | 10 | 12.5 | 15 | 17.5 | 20 |
| Run speed | 20 | 22.5 | 25 | 27.5 | 30 |
| Stamina | 100 | 125 | 150 | 175 | 200 |
| Stealth | 0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 |
| Extraction Speed | 0.75 | 0.85 | 1.00 | 1.20 | 1.50 |
The fifth Extraction Speed star is especially valuable because this stat does not rise evenly. Its increases grow larger at higher levels: 0.10, then 0.15, then 0.20, and finally 0.30. That means moving from four to five stars produces the largest improvement on the scale.
A Toon with five-star Extraction Speed fills a Machine at 1.50 units and can complete one in about 30 seconds without extra progress. At one star, the same task takes roughly 60 seconds. Skill Checks, abilities, items, and teammates can change the real result, but the base difference remains significant.
What Each Five-Star Stat Does
Each five-star stat supports a different kind of play. A strong stat is useful when it matches what you are doing during a run.
| Five-star stat | Maximum value | Best for | Important tradeoff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skill Check | Size 250, value 3, speed 5 | Reliable Machine work and Golden Skill Checks | Does not replace high passive extraction |
| Movement Speed | Walk 20, run 30 | Escaping and distracting Twisteds | Sprinting still consumes stamina |
| Stamina | 200 | Long sprints and repeated movement | Regeneration is not automatically faster |
| Stealth | 20 | Avoiding detection and lower chase priority | Positioning still matters |
| Extraction Speed | 1.50 | Completing Machines quickly | Low mobility can make solo work risky |
Skill Check
Five-star Skill Check creates the largest Skill Check window, gives the highest Golden-area progress value, and uses the highest listed speed value. It also reduces the number of clicks needed on a Treadmill Machine compared with lower Skill Check ratings.
This stat is excellent for players who spend much of a run extracting. It helps make Machine work more consistent, particularly when pressure forces you to finish quickly. However, Skill Check is not the same as passive Extraction Speed. A Toon can be good at landing checks yet still fill a Machine slowly between them.
Movement Speed
At five stars, a Toon walks at 20 and runs at 30. This is one of the most immediately noticeable stat advantages because it affects both ordinary travel and chase survival.
High speed is especially valuable for distractors, rescue-focused players, and Toons who need to rotate between Machines. It can create more space from Twisteds, but it is not an automatic escape button. Corners, stamina management, hazards, and the floor layout still decide whether a chase is survivable.
Stamina
Five-star Stamina provides a 200-point maximum, twice the 100 points available at one star. Since sprinting drains stamina over time, a larger bar allows longer continuous running before exhaustion.
When stamina reaches zero, sprinting is disabled until at least 10 stamina returns. The bar turns red during this exhausted state. Stamina refills while you are not sprinting, and Astro has a passive bonus to stamina regeneration.
High stamina is convenient for long rotations and emergencies, but it has diminishing practical value for some players. A player who avoids emptying the bar may gain more from speed, stealth, or extraction than from extra maximum stamina.
Stealth
At five stars, Stealth has a value of 20. Higher Stealth means a Twisted must get closer before beginning a chase. Twisteds also favor nearby targets with lower Stealth, so this stat can reduce how often you become the preferred target.
Stealth is useful for extractors who need to stay on Machines and for teams without a dedicated distractor. It cannot make you invisible, and it should not encourage careless positioning. A low-Stealth teammate standing closer to a Twisted may draw attention instead, which can reshape a chase unexpectedly.
Extraction Speed
Five-star Extraction Speed is the clearest specialist stat for Machine completion. It gives a passive rate of 1.50, allowing a Toon to make steady progress even when no Skill Check appears.
This is often the best stat for a dedicated extractor because it works continuously. Pairing high Extraction Speed with reliable Skill Checks can be powerful, but low Movement Speed or Stealth may make solo Machines dangerous. Strong extraction is most effective when the player knows when to leave a Machine rather than forcing progress during a bad chase route.
Choosing a Toon Around High Stats
Do not treat every five-star rating as equally valuable in every run. The best choice depends on the team, the floor, your confidence in chases, and whether someone else already fills a role.
Use this quick comparison when deciding what to prioritize:
- Choose five-star Movement Speed if you plan to distract, rescue teammates, or need safer rotations.
- Choose five-star Extraction Speed if your team needs Machines completed quickly.
- Choose five-star Skill Check if you want steadier Machine performance and can handle pressure checks.
- Choose five-star Stealth if you prefer avoiding chases and staying productive near danger.
- Choose five-star Stamina if you regularly make long sprints or struggle with exhaustion.
Some Toons can temporarily change their effective performance through abilities or floor conditions. Razzle and Dazzle have different stat strengths depending on floor parity, while Eclipse gains extra stamina during Blackouts. Items, trinkets, cards, and abilities can also improve stats, so a base five-star rating is a foundation rather than the whole build.
Special attributes exist outside the usual six stats. Some Toons produce extra light during Blackouts, while others are immune to Ichor Leak puddles and their associated debuffs. These traits can be just as important as a five-star stat on floors where those events occur.

No. Five-star Stamina increases the maximum amount to 200, allowing longer sprints, but it does not inherently increase the normal regeneration rate.
Are five-star stats permanent?
A Toon's base stat spread is fixed, but abilities, trinkets, items, cards, and floor conditions can temporarily modify performance.
