Effect Explained
Star Pillow's effect is doubled stamina regeneration during extraction: +100% (to 4.8/s) while you're on a Machine.
Who benefits: - Low-Stamina Toons (Cosmo, Gigi, and similar): the boost enhances survivability — their biggest weakness becomes a recovery window. - High-Stamina Toons: run way longer than they normally could. - Slow Toons (Rodger, and similar): stay fueled for potential chases and sprint to Machines more safely. - Treadmill Machines: sprint-extract faster, with regen keeping you safe from Twisted interruptions. Finn (high-speed Passive + low Stamina) is a top candidate — he can sprint Treadmills for as long as his Passive lasts, then refill fast.
Special counters: - Twisted Astro's Tired debuff: the doubled regen recovers you from his stamina drain (for extractors and backup distractors). - Waxwell: fully neutralizes his -50% Stamina Regen passive — he regenerates at a normal rate while extracting, or even better when using his Ability to nullify Tired II.
The caveats: ultra-fast extractors (finishing Default Machines in ~24s) spend less time on Machines, getting less value — though low-Stamina fast extractors still benefit. It's not recommended for full-time distractors (they rarely extract). If a distractor with equal/lower Stealth is present, you won't always need the extra stamina.

Best Toon Combos

- Low-Stamina Toons (Cosmo, Gigi): survivability through recovery.
- Waxwell: neutralizes his regen penalty entirely.
- Solo runs: recover from Twisted Astro chases and failed Skill Checks.
- High-Stamina Toons: extended running capability.
- Avoid for full-time distractors — you're rarely extracting.
