Signature item

Unlock clarification

The three active Rubber Balls do not all need to mark the same weapon.

Strengths

• The character item supplies both timed and triggered attacks.
• Level progression contributes to the Balloon’s damage.
• The three Rubber Balls needed for the unlock can be spread across different recipients.

Weaknesses

• A Balloon takes time to reach a target.
• A Balloon eventually pops if it misses.
• An incoming close enemy may need immediate weapon damage or a dodge before the Balloon arrives.

Choose this character when

Choose Penny for a character item that combines periodic attacks with optional activation support.

Choose another character when

Avoid depending on delayed Balloons alone when enemies are already reaching the character.

Priorities

1. Keep close-range damage or space to dodge while Balloons travel.
2. Check that a proposed trigger supports Funny Balloon.
3. Keep all three Rubber Balls active when completing Juggler; do not merge away the requirement prematurely.

Unlock Penny through Juggler: have three Rubber Balls in the backpack and active. Check that all three are active before merging or selling a copy.

Funny Balloon appears periodically and when triggered, moves toward enemies, and explodes on contact. Its damage scales with Penny’s level. It eventually pops if it misses.

Keep immediate damage available while the balloons travel. An enemy already within reach still needs dodging, even when a balloon is approaching it. Give an eligible balloon trigger connection room before filling the inventory with buffs intended only for the backup gun.

Once Penny is unlocked, choose equipment around the balloon attack and your backup weapon; the three Rubber Balls are an unlock objective.

For the unlock, buy the Toy Box pack at the base workbench, then collect and use three Rubber Ball copies in the backpack during one run. Rubber Ball is a support for bouncing ranged shots. Keep the three copies separate until the achievement registers.
