Effect Explained
Fishing Rod's effect is a floor-start reveal: when a new Floor arrives, all Machine locations are highlighted for you for 5 seconds.
The efficiency value: - Optimal routing: count Machines per area (e.g., "2 left, 1 back, 1 right") and memorize paths — no wasted stamina searching. - Treadmill Machines: high-speed, low-extraction Toons find Treadmills instantly and contribute without slowing the team. - Beelining: Toons whose Abilities trigger on Machine completion (speed-boost Toons) can sprint straight to their next target. - Support value: telling teammates where Machines are turns Fishing Rod into a team tool — the layout knowledge helps everyone.
Synergies: - Vee's Remote: know which Machine to instantly complete — especially dangerous or far-away ones. - Ability planners (like Sprout's buffing): strategize a path across multiple Machines to buff them all quickly. - Speedrun builds: knowing the layout is core to completing floors as fast as possible.
