Tisha is a mobile all-rounder whose active ability, Tidy Up!, sends a movement-speed pulse to nearby Toons. Current community documentation describes her as an early Ichor purchase with strong Movement Speed and Skill Check, but limited Stamina and base Extraction Speed. That combination makes her useful when a player watches teammates and floor routes instead of treating her as a permanent machine specialist.
What Tisha does for a team
Tisha moves comfortably between machines, capsules, and teammates. Her Skill Check strength lets her contribute meaningful bursts even though steady extraction is not her headline strength. Use that flexibility to finish an abandoned machine, collect nearby Research, or support a slower teammate rather than competing with the team’s best extractor for the safest station.
Tidy Up! matters most when it changes a route: helping a distractor rebuild distance, pushing a tired teammate toward the elevator, speeding the initial floor split, or moving several players through Panic Mode. The pulse is local, so position before pressing it. An ability spent far from the intended player provides no rescue.
How to time Tidy Up!
Watch the teammate rather than the cooldown icon. If a distractor is approaching your loop, stand behind cover and pulse as they pass, then move away so you do not steal aggro. If a slower extractor must cross an exposed hall, apply the boost before the crossing rather than after the chase begins.
During Panic Mode, group movement is easy to read: machines are complete and the elevator becomes the shared destination. Save Tidy Up! when the floor has dangerous geometry or a teammate is working far from the exit. On safer early floors, using it at the start can help the team find machines and identify Twisteds faster.
Tisha cannot solve poor stamina planning. A temporary movement boost does not refill an empty bar, and her own lower Stamina means reckless sprinting can leave her unable to follow. Walk while the route is safe and reserve sprint for breaking line of sight.
Extraction and distraction choices
For secondary extraction, improve the part of Tisha’s kit that already feels reliable. Skill-check-oriented Trinkets reward consistent timing, while a first-machine tool can add early tempo. Do not assume an extraction build turns her into Vee; her value is finishing flexible tasks without giving up mobility support.
For distraction, speed-oriented Trinkets can make her movement profile more comfortable, but the player still needs a clean loop. Call the role, identify corners that break line of sight, and keep the chase away from active machines. Tisha’s support pulse can assist another distractor without making Tisha the primary target.
A support build values cooldown or safe positioning only when the team stays close enough to receive it. In an uncoordinated public lobby, a broadly useful movement or survival pair can produce more value than a narrow ability setup.
Unlock and Mastery route
Current community references list Tisha as a simple 500-Ichor license without a Research gate. Open the Toon store and verify that condition before spending. This makes her a reasonable early goal when a player wants movement and team utility without beginning a Main Toon project.
Tisha’s Mastery is important beyond her Vintage skin because current community unlock data uses full Tisha Mastery as part of Shelly’s license. Her tasks span ability use, machines, surviving floors, item pickups, group survival, and travel. Work several at once: use the ability for a real rotation, pick up useful items, and help finish machines instead of farming counters in isolation.
Check the Mastery panel after each session. Exact thresholds can change, and a guide cannot see which tasks your account already completed. The Mastery guide explains how to turn the six-task panel into a short route.
Common Tisha mistakes
- Pressing Tidy Up! the moment it becomes available when no teammate is in range.
- Sprinting through safe hallways and arriving at a real chase with no stamina.
- Taking every safe machine from a faster extractor instead of covering flexible work.
- Standing too close to a distractor after boosting them and changing aggro behavior.
- Building only for speed without learning where the floor provides a line-of-sight break.
- Treating the 0.24.1 Tisha quest promotion as proof that every quest remains active now.
Tisha FAQ
Is Tisha an extractor or distractor?
She can contribute to both, but her clearest identity is a mobile support/all-rounder. Choose the secondary job the team lacks and build for the failure you actually experience.
What does Tidy Up! do?
Current community documentation describes a nearby movement-speed pulse. Check the live ability panel for its exact percentage, duration, radius, and cooldown.
Why does Shelly’s guide link here?
Community unlock references list completion of Tisha’s Mastery as one of Shelly’s license requirements.
Did update 0.24.1 change Tisha?
The official description themed the version around Tisha quests and a Game Pass skin. It separately names a Twisted Tisha AI change. Recheck Tisha’s live panel before assuming a numerical character change.
