slightly hot unpopular take
now hear me out.
while people say Boxten is a better starter toon, he is infinitely worse than Poppy.
Boxten relies on other people and as we all know, the most average dandy's world player ALWAYS dies at floor 1 or under floor 5, even if you try to do a discord run, MOST don't allow starter toons as they aren't meta and requires high floors (fym I have to have floor 100 as my highest dawg 😭) in which a starter won't have. Unless you get good teammates, Boxten is an ahh starter
While Poppy doesn't rely on other toons and is a decent toon for both solo and multiplayer, her ability may seem useless to some people but it's actually really good as it allows her to escape high level threats (such as Twisted Pebble) while low on stamina, and most toons (excluding 5 star speed toon as they might be able to escape) won't be able to do that cause they're slow asf without running💔
ok I'm done ranting. time to disappear for another 7 months or so.
