Inventor
Difficulty: 4/5 starsReason For Entering: wanted complete understanding of everything in the universe.
Pronouns: she/her
Description
Inventor is a pale orange dice with dark red-orange dots. She has freckles and two prominent front teeth. She wears orange glasses, red-orange shoes, and dark red-orange gloves. She carries a blue book and a hammer.
She is the fourth character you unlock, after winning (or losing) one of Robot’s episodes. Her playstyle requires extremely careful planning, as she destroys one card to make a new gadget upon winning a fight. She finds extra chests and shops to make up for the consistent loss of cards.
She is extremely curious and eager to explore, rambling and infodumping often about things she is excited about. Social cues can sometimes fly over her head, as she takes phrases literally. She’s very passionate about keeping things fair and in good working order.
Her standard starting equipment are a Hammer, Spanner, and Pea Shooter.
Her starting gadget is a Heat Ray.
Limit Break / Special Ability
Inventor’s limit break and special ability remain the same for all episodes.
Her limit break, Focus, allows her to turn all her unused dice into sixes.
Her special ability doesn’t have one proper name other than “gadgets.” After each successful fight, she will scrap one of her card to make into a gadget that is free to use the next fight. Gadgets vary based on what card is scrapped.
Cards are chosen three at a time, randomly, and from your current hand at the end of the battle. One of these MUST be scrapped to make a new gadget.

"Oh wow, this place is so cool! The doors! The spotlights!
Oops, sorry, I mean, thanks for having me on the show!"

But that can't be right!"

Cards Used
Inventor appears to be able to make a gadget out of every card. However, I’m not sure how/where/when she would get her hands on a good handful of them. Cards that are tailored to a specific contestant’s ability (ex: mana for witch, CPU for robot) would be unusable to her. If we disregard the gadget list, her only real limits are said contestant-specific cards- and then we don’t have any other clear cut “inventor” structure to go off of.
If we DO go by her gadget list (lists pretty much all cards attached to one gadget or another), then Inventor can use every single card in the game. For my own sanity, this wiki doesn't take that into account. Do with that what you will.
The following are cards only Inventor can use:
