Glisten is a circular mirror with a gold border, swirl "hair," pink blush, and a large pink bow. While seemingly prideful, Glisten is insecure. He excels at extraction with high movement speed but lacks stealth. His active ability, "GlistenabilityReflection," aids escapes. Recommended trinkets boost extraction or speed. Players can purchase him in the Dandy's Store.
Glisten is a charismatic mirror who always wants the spotlight! Sometimes his ego brings up new issues but he will always stand up for his friends and what's right.
Glisten’s Extraction Speed stat matches Vee, making **Glisten** one of the best Extractors. While **Glisten's** Small Skill Check might make Vee the slightly better Extractor, **Glisten's** higher Movement Speed and easy getaway Abilities arguably make him a superior Toon. **Glisten** is statistically similar to Vee, being slightly faster. However, **Glisten’s** lackluster Skill Check and Stealth can be a problem.
You can use Glisten's Active Ability, GlistenabilityReflection, to easily escape chasing Twisteds. Line of sight isn't required for this ability, making it even easier. However, monitoring Glisten's Active Ability cooldown is crucial; using it at the wrong time can leave you trapped in tricky situations. On the Library floor, completing the last machine near the elevator allows Glisten to teleport through walls, saving stamina. However, there’s a risk that the target Toon Glisten teleports to has a Twisted nearby, which could draw their attention due to Glisten’s low stealth.
It's best to have Distractors like Goob and Looey to ensure Twisteds don't bother Glisten while extracting, especially because they share Glisten's Stealth stat. However, other Distractors work, as long as you stay out of the way. Watching Glisten’s Stealth stat and distance to the Twisteds is necessary because of this.
Glisten's design features a circular mirror form with a light golden border and body. His border swirls at the top, creating a unique "hair" appearance, and he has noticeable pink blush beneath his eyes.
A large pink bow is positioned behind Glisten, tied around his chest. He is adorned with white leg warmers that have tiny pink spots, and artwork often depicts him holding a microphone.
Outwardly, Glisten presents himself as proud and egotistical, seeming to admire himself above all else. He also seeks attention from those around him. However, beneath this facade, Glisten has a hidden insecure side, which is implied through various interactions.
Certain interactions, such as those with Tisha, Toodles, and Rodger, reveal that Glisten becomes defensive when his insecurities are exposed. He tries to maintain a "perfect" image, as noted in some of his written notes found in his room. Also, his tendency to overwork himself is apparent in two of the notes in his room.
Some Trinket combinations that can work for Glisten include:
Extraction Boosts
Magnifying Glass + Participation Award
► This set allows you to extract machines at nearly Vee's normal pace, but with the drawback of reducing your skill check size to 1-star. While risky, it can reward you with quicker extractions, making it ideal if you're skilled at hitting the gold sections with Cosmo or Shrimpo. If you’re aiming to complete higher floors faster, this combo might be a good option for Glisten.
Blue Bandana + Machine Manual
► For Glisten, this combo reduces the penalty from his lower skill check stat while boosting his extraction speed. The Machine Manual pairs with the Blue Bandana to enhance his high extraction stat by 12.9%. The -5% Skill Check chance works in Glisten's favor, as his Skill Check is below average, improving his chances of success.
Speed Enhancement
Pink Bow/Dog Plush + Speedy Shoes
► Although extraction-based Trinkets are effective for Glisten, his low Stealth often leads to him being chased, making speed-oriented Trinkets more beneficial in his case. Using these can help Glisten evade pursuers and stay mobile during gameplay.
Mixed Combinations
Speedy Shoes + Magnifying Glass
► This combination demands a higher skill level, depending on your ability to successfully hit the Skill Check. The Speedy Shoes will provide the necessary movement speed, helping Glisten escape more efficiently.
Diary + Blue Bandana
► When playing with a Goob, the Diary Trinket becomes highly useful, and the Blue Bandana's -5% Skill Check chance is not as detrimental due to Glisten's relatively low Skill Check stat. However, since Glisten's Stealth doesn't surpass that of other Toons like Poppy, using the Diary in combination with this Trinket set is not always recommended.
