Effect Explained
Peppermint Icing grants 30 Stamina instantly after using your Active Ability.
Why flat matters: percentage-based stamina effects are affected by debuffs like Tired (which cuts regen). Peppermint Icing's flat 30 Stamina is unaffected by the Tired debuff — it's always exactly 30, making it more reliable than percentage alternatives.
Best users: - Short-cooldown Toons (Coal, Toodles, and similar): frequent Abilities = frequent stamina refills, turning their Abilities into reliable resources. - Extract-on-Ability Toons: Toons who can use Abilities while extracting (Coal, Toodles) can run Treadmill Machines more, extracting them faster. - Solo runs: gives Toons without self-afflicting Abilities a use for their Ability and eases solo stamina reliance.
The math honesty: 30 Stamina is roughly 3 extra seconds of running — a real but modest amount, best used for recovery between chases rather than relied on fully.
Feather Duster pairing: for severe stamina deficiencies (Waxwell, Gigi), the two can be paired — one is spontaneous (Item pickups), one is reliable (Ability use). A temporary solution while learning those Toons.
The exception: it does not work with Bassie's Ability — a deliberate balancing choice to prevent infinite stamina spam.
