Rodger
517
25Rodger's main purpose lies in collecting Research (and to a lesser extent, Ichor). He makes a good training character as using him is most beneficial for new players: his low speed helps players learn to regulate stamina and his extra Research gain is most beneficial to those that don't have much. The rest of this section should be considered with the fact that he is more aptly-applied by the inexperienced in mind.
Rodger's main stat, which is his Extraction Speed (4 ★), is above average and will help with completing Machines faster. The downside is his low Movement Speed, which means finding and using Speed Items will help with traversing around the Floor better (although you may wish to save them for emergencies).
The use of Trinkets is recommended to help with his Movement Speed, good ones being Pink Bow, Speedy Shoes, Dog Plush, and Vanity Mirror. Using Extraction Trinkets is also recommended, which can help make his already good Extraction Speed even better. Some examples are Magnifying Glass, Blue Bandana, Machine Manual, and Vee's Remote (though Wrench is more accessible for newcomers).
Rodger's Detective Passive grants him double the Research percentages from collecting Research Capsules and encountering Twisteds.
Normally, you would gain 1% from Research Capsules and 5% from encountering Twisteds, but with his Passive Ability, it's doubled to 2% and 10%. This makes Rodger useful for collecting Research much faster on a Twisted that isn't fully Researched yet. However, this effectively renders him ability-less (similarly to Boxten). For that reason, if you have no motivation to collect Research (whether because you have all of it or don't want it), Rodger probably isn't the best Toon for the job. If you do want Research, no other Toon surpasses him! (For more information, see dandys-world-robloxhorror.fandom.com)
