Glommer's Flower.png See also: Pew-matic Horn and Navigadget

She starts with the Pew-matic Horn, which is able to shoot certain items to damage mobs, and the Navigadget, which is able to direct the player to the nearest chosen item by placing the desired item into it. For example, if Twigs were placed within, it will guide the player to the nearest pickable Sapling.

Wheeler's base movement speed is 5% higher compared to other characters, and increases by 1% for every empty inventory slot. Items inside of backpacks are ignored, allowing her to move faster as long as all of her items are in a backpack and not in her main inventory. Slots added by a backpack do not count towards increasing her speed when empty.

She is also able to perform an action called "Dodge", which allows her to move swiftly over a short distance. The ability needs to recharge (1.5 seconds) [1] before the player is able to do it again. During the dodge animation Wheeler is completely invulnerable from all forms of physical damage, although any armor equipped will still be affected.

Disadvantages

Whereas the other characters have 15 inventory slots with additional hand, body and head slots (18 total), Wheeler only has 12 slots to go with the three equipment slots (15 total). It should be noted that both of her exclusive items have one additional slot (17 total), allowing players to use them as additional storage, although the Navigadget can only carry one item.

She has lower maximum health, 100 Health Meter.png, which is lower compared to the majority of characters.
