- Role: Scraps is a high-mobility Toon capable of repositioning instantly to teammates.

Scraps Overview & Stats
Scraps is a versatile Toon in Dandy's World defined by her exceptional mobility and rescue potential. Unlike Toons focused solely on extraction or stealth, Scraps shines in chaotic situations where quick repositioning is the difference between survival and extraction. Her ability to close the distance to teammates instantly allows her to function as a reactive support unit, saving allies from difficult chases or escaping danger herself.
However, her kit requires a high level of map awareness. Because her ability targets other Toons, she is less effective in isolation or when teammates are unavailable. Players using Scraps must balance her high movement speed with the risk of pulling herself into a worse position if not timed carefully.
Using Scraps' ability blindly can pull you directly into the path of a Twisted. Always ensure your target teammate is moving toward safety or a cleared zone before activating your pull.
| Stat | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mobility | ★★★★★ | Exceptional movement and repositioning speed. |
| Extraction | ★★★☆☆ | Average machine speed; focus is on movement. |
| Survival | ★★★★☆ | High escape potential if stamina is managed well. |
| Difficulty | ★★★★☆ | Requires teamwork and spatial awareness to master. |
Best Trinkets for Scraps
Building Scraps effectively requires focusing on her strengths: movement and stamina. Since her playstyle involves kiting, distracting, and rapid repositioning, Trinkets that enhance these stats are far more valuable than extraction bonuses. You want to create a build that allows her to loop Twisteds around obstacles and return to the team without exhausting her stamina bar.
Speedy Shoes
- Effect: Movement speed increase.
- Why: Makes kiting and looping Twisteds significantly easier.
- Synergy: Pairs well with stamina Trinkets for endless running.
Pink Bow
- Effect: Additional movement speed.
- Why: Further boosts her ability to reach machines or teammates quickly.
- Synergy: Great for general routing and safe floor traversal.
Blue Bandana
- Effect: Increases maximum stamina.
- Why: Allows for longer chases and more frequent ability usage.
- Synergy: Essential for surviving high-danger floors like Cavity.
If you are playing Scraps as a dedicated distractor, the Dog Plush is a strong alternative. It improves walking speed, letting you save stamina for critical moments while still maintaining a safe distance from Twisteds.
| Trinket Combo | Role | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|
| Speedy Shoes + Pink Bow | Kite / Distractor | ★★★★★ (Max mobility for chases) |
| Speedy Shoes + Blue Bandana | Survival / Rescue | ★★★★☆ (Balanced speed and stamina) |
| Dog Plush + Speedy Shoes | Stamina Saver | ★★★★☆ (Sustainable kiting) |
| Machine Manual + Magnifying Glass | Extractor | ★★☆☆☆ (Suboptimal for her kit) |
Gameplay Strategies & Rotation
Playing Scraps effectively is about knowing when to engage and when to retreat. Her ability to pull herself to a teammate is a powerful tool, but it has a cooldown and requires line-of-sight or proximity to a target. You should generally stay on the periphery of the extraction zone, ready to pull aggro from a chasing Twisted and then zip back to a safe teammate once the Machine is done.
Video Highlights:
- Scraps excels at rescuing teammates who are cornered or low on stamina.
- Her ability can be used to traverse the map quickly if teammates are spread out.
- Avoid using her pull if the target teammate is currently being chased by a Twisted.
Identify the Role
At the start of the floor, determine if you are the main Distractor or a support Toon. If your team has a Pebble or Goob, you may play more flexibly.
Locate Machines and Teammates
Note where the active Machines are and where your teammates are positioned. You want to maintain a triangle formation between yourself, the Machine, and a safe teammate.
Pull Aggro
When a Twisted approaches an extractor, run in to break line of sight or get close enough to draw their attention. Use your speed to lead them away from the work area.
Execute the Escape
Once the Twisted is committed to chasing you, look for a teammate who is in a safe position or near the elevator. Activate your ability to pull yourself to them instantly.
Reset and Repeat
Recharge your stamina while the Twisted retargets or wanders. Repeat the process as needed to keep the extraction zone clear.
Scraps' ability has a limited range. If you drift too far from your teammates attempting a long-distance kite, you may find yourself unable to use your escape when you need it most.
Progression & Mastery Goals
To get the most out of Scraps and unlock her full potential, you should focus on progression goals that enhance her survivability and utility. This involves leveling her up to gain more Ichor and completing specific Mastery challenges that force you to use her mobility in creative ways.

Scraps vs. Other Toons
When deciding whether to pick Scraps, it is important to compare her to other Toons with similar or overlapping roles. While she is a strong mobility pick, certain Toons may outperform her in specific team compositions or floor types.
| Toon | Comparison | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Pebble | Pebble is the superior dedicated distractor due to higher speed and stamina. Scraps offers more utility for rescues. | Choose Pebble for pure distraction; Scraps for rescue utility. |
| Goob | Goob can pull teammates to himself, whereas Scraps pulls herself to them. Goob is better for saving allies from immediate danger. | Goob is the better rescue support; Scraps is better for self-repositioning. |
| Flutter | Flutter has a dash that requires no target. Scraps relies on teammates, making Flutter more consistent for solo play. | Flutter is more reliable for solo escapes; Scraps requires a team. |
| Boxten | Boxten is a beginner-friendly extractor. Scraps is a more advanced choice requiring active participation. | Choose Boxten for learning; Scraps for advanced team play. |
Scraps works best in a coordinated team with communication. If you are playing with randoms who may not understand your rescue patterns, consider a more self-sufficient Toon like Flutter or Vee.
Advanced Tips & Tricks
Once you have mastered the basics of Scraps, you can employ advanced techniques to make her even more effective. These tips focus on using her unique mechanics to outplay both the Twisteds and the floor layout.
- Blind Rescue: If a teammate is around a corner and in trouble, you can use your ability to pull yourself to them instantly, often bypassing the Twisted in the hallway if your angle is right.
- Stamina Management: Since Scraps relies on sprinting to kite, try to walk whenever possible to preserve stamina for the actual chase. Only sprint when a Twisted is actively targeting you.
- Elevator Positioning: When the floor is nearly complete, position yourself near the elevator but slightly off to the side. This allows you to grab any straggling teammates and pull them in before the timer runs out.
- Twisted Baiting: You can use your ability to "teleport" behind a Twisted if your teammate is positioned correctly, potentially confusing their AI and breaking their line of sight on you.
