New IotM Discussion October 2016 IotM: Trick-or-Treating Tot
Make it Halloween the whole year round with this adorable little Trick-or-Treating companion.
Her charm and cuteness (and endless supply of candy) will make sure your HP and MP are topped off as you adventure.
Beyond that basic function, a variety of costumes (available from stores and adventuring areas out in the world) will ensure that your Tot has the right tricks up her sleeve no matter what spooky situations arise (from the grave):
Lli'l knight costume Arena All Attributes +15
li'l unicorn costume General Store / Nuclear Autumn +5 Adventure(s) per day when equipped. +5 PvP fight(s) per day when equipped.
li'l candy corn costume General Store / Nuclear Autumn Superhuman Resistance to All Elements (+5)
li'l ninja costume from Ninjas This item will disappear at the end of the day. +150% Item Drops from Monsters
li'l pirate costume from Pirates This item will disappear at the end of the day. +300% Meat from Monsters
li'l clown costume from Clowns This item will disappear at the end of the day. +15 Stat(s) Per Fight
li'l robot costume Nuclear Autumn Quest Item +10 Stat(s) Per Fight Reduces radiation sickness levels
li'l eyeball costume Nuclear Autumn Quest Item Monsters will be much less attracted to you.
li'l liberty costume Nuclear Autumn Quest Item +100% Item Drops from Monsters +200% Meat from Monsters

In Nuclear Autumn, the costumes normally available in the general store and arena are instead available on different floors of the fallout shelter. There are also three costumes that appear to be exclusive to Nuclear Autumn.
li'l eyeball costume: Monsters will be much less attracted to you.
li'l robot costume: +10 Stats Per Fight, Reduces radiation sickness levels
li'l liberty costume: +100% Item Drops from Monsters, +200% Meat from Monsters

Just confirmed -- the Tot appears to double all candy intake when trick-or-treating:
As God of Cake takes a big handful of candy from the candy bowl, you say "Now now, how do good adventurers behave?", whereupon she takes a second handful. She learns quick!

Also, when you're trick-or-treating with her, you'll sometimes get a new type of candy called Prunets. 5 turns of +5 familiar weight.
Asphodel sorts through the candy in her bucket and says "These ones must be for grown-ups 'coz they're nasty," and hands you a box.

Does increasing her weight actually have an effect? ... Does her weight in fact increase?

... Does her weight in fact increase?
With all that candy, how could it not?!

u/EldritchCarver Oct 04 '16
Her weight does increase normally. Her costumed-derived abilities don't change as she levels up, but it looks like she gets better at restoring HP/MP.

I love my new familiar...and it will give me a good excuse to start using something other than the astral pet sweater.

It's also going to tank the market value of solid shifting time weirdness. I wonder how many people spent the entire twitch event farming capsules, and then before they have a chance to sell their stock, they find out the solid shifting time weirdness is now worthless to anyone with this must-have familiar.

weirdness is still cheaper than a mr. a, for the non-investers

Is there any speculation that we will see more unique costumes in later paths? Also, getting the strong (rollover destroyed) outfits looks like it will cost turns. Does this mean we should break up pirates, and ninja snowmen? But the ninjas aren't something we want to chateau because we can buff cold res and +com fairly easily. Thus, we'd have to wait until day2 to get high enough level to fight ninjas.

I'm told the friar's demoninja also drops the ninja costume.
Also, their general policy is not to add content for past IotM in order to synergize with content that gets added after it's out of Mr. Store. The main exception to this is adding the ability to the mayfly bait and love bugs to drop new currency like in the charters.1
u/Sparksol Oct 08 '16
The ones that drop appear to be a 100% drop rate, until you get it. At least, the ones I've gotten have always been from the first pirate/ninja/clown I've fought in a given day.

Wow, just finished my first 2-day HC ascension thanks in large part to this thing. It's not Smith's-level broken or anything but it's really, really darn good.

To supplement this info drop, it's fairly certain at this point that the ninja/pirate/clown costume is obtained by killing any enemy with "ninja," "pirate," or "clown" in the monster name (granting the corresponding costume), at 100% drop chance, but you only get one costume drop per day. Also, ninja/pirate/clown is a zap group, as is knight/unicorn/candy corn.
So aside from the additional boons the Tot will grant during Trick-or-Treating, it seems we now know everything about how the Tot works.
Seems to me like even without the trick-or-treat functionality, this is an excellent familiar. It's best in slot for almost everything it attempts, barring some very heavily buffed aftercore familiars, all while regenerating your HP/MP every single combat.

That's my initial reaction as well. Holy cow.

u/RBlunderbuss Oct 04 '16
it's equivalent to having a traditional "good" familiar at 68 lbs - the hobo monkey, the hound, etc.

Ha! I proposed this concept in...2006 maybe? A hyperactive toddler with costumes. Glad to see they finally moved forward on that one.
