Fluffies Recruitment Guide
Recruit and care for Fluffies so departments, campaign rooms, and battle support stay useful across the route.
Fluffies Are The Team Layer
Fluffies are not just mascot flavor in Anomaly President. Steam says to Recruit Fluffies from the oppressed Fluffies, then assign them so some campaign for you, some upgrade your equipment, and some assist you in battles. The official gameplay trailer names departments such as TV station, newspaper, and intelligence, and the long gameplay transcript adds morale, feeding, sleep, and room assignments. That evidence makes Fluffies the team layer connecting campaign, bus, and combat.
A good recruitment plan starts with purpose. If the next route needs votes, choose campaign-facing work. If the next fight needs safer output, consider battle support or equipment support. If the bus has inactive rooms, assigning Fluffies to rooms comes before judging the room. Care is part of the plan because Steam warns that neglected helpers can abandon the player or worse. In practice, take good care of them means morale, food, sleep, and assignment should be reviewed before each major route push.

Care Before Optimization
Do not optimize Fluffies as if they were disposable stats. The current evidence repeatedly ties them to care, rooms, and operational departments. If morale is low, a clever assignment may still fail. If food or sleep is ignored, the team plan becomes unstable. If the route changes from campaign to combat, review the assignment before blaming the build. This is especially important for new players because the bus can look like a base-building layer, but its real value is route support.
FAQ
What should Fluffies do first?

Can neglected Fluffies leave?
Steam warns that if you do not take good care of them, they might abandon you or worse.
Are departments confirmed?
Yes. TV station, newspaper, and intelligence appear in the official gameplay trailer evidence.
Recruitment Review Loop
After recruiting, check whether each helper has a purpose. A Fluffy that can campaign for you should be placed where vote pressure matters. A Fluffy that can upgrade your equipment belongs in a route where combat power is the bottleneck. A Fluffy that can assist you in battles should be evaluated after a night fight, not only from the bus menu. This keeps oppressed Fluffies connected to the player's next decision rather than turning them into a background collection.
Care is the second half of recruitment. Take good care of them is not a decorative phrase on the Steam page; it is tied to warnings about helpers abandoning the player or worse. The long gameplay evidence mentions morale, feeding, sleep, and room assignments, so a player should review those conditions before blaming a department. If the team stops carrying the route, check care first, assignment second, and build synergy third.
Recruitment also changes how failures should be interpreted. If a night route collapses, the cause might be weapon choice, but it might also be an empty department, low morale, poor sleep, or a helper assigned away from the room that mattered. Keep that diagnosis visible. Fluffies recruitment is strongest when the player can explain why each helper is on the bus before the next dangerous stop begins.
A simple team audit prevents wasted recruitment. Before leaving the bus, name one reason each helper is assigned where they are. If that reason is votes, equipment, battle help, morale recovery, or information, the placement has a purpose. If the reason is unclear, move the helper or simplify the next objective.
For longer routes, repeat the same audit after every major stop. A helper that solved yesterday's vote problem may not solve tonight's boss problem, and a battle helper may be wasted when the bus actually needs information or care. Recruitment stays valuable when assignments move with the route instead of remaining fixed by habit.
