Dummies

How it works

The standard model stands still, while variants isolate particular interactions. Built Different adds defense; Franklin reflects electrical attacks; Presidential blocks hitscan bullets; and Unholy is marked for additional effects from holy items. Beefcake has a much larger health pool. Those differences explain why a damage result on one dummy cannot automatically represent an ordinary player or a different variant.

Counter and Dodge also need their current names. The August 2025 change removed the old Parry Dummy, transferred its parrying behavior to Counter and moved Counter’s older behavior to Dodge. An old tutorial using the removed names may therefore describe a different test target. Attacking Dummy repeatedly uses a crowbar, while Borrow Dummy attempts to take and use an item; the wiki notes that not every borrowed item works properly in that NPC’s hands.

Dripped Dummy includes ultra instinct and extra health. StunTest shows a color change when control effects such as ragdoll, freeze or hitstun are applied. Shopkeeper’s point particles are a visual response to being hit, not evidence of a farming payout promised here. The variants are encountered through combat dummy summoner rather than normal random player spawns. A stationary standard dummy, an attacking variant and the mobile enemy from Uncertified consequently answer three different NPC-identification questions.
