**Buoy** the Newfoundland is a dog that can join Tibo's pack. In-game description: “Leaps at enemy shots that come close to you and catches them.”

## Ability

**Verified** (dog ability code in `sim-h87i1VLB.js` and `run-extras-zcHDkxyh.js`):  `power` is the training multiplier below; damage is Tibo's damage multiplier.

| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| `kind` | fetch |
| `radius` | 0 |
| `every` | 1.5 |

## Aura

While in Tibo's pack, Buoy adds: Max HP +8 (`maxHp`).

## Training levels

Each level multiplies the ability. `every` multiplies the time between uses (lower is faster), `power` multiplies its strength and `aura` scales the aura bonus. The multipliers below are copied from the game data.

| Level | `every` × | `power` × | `aura` | Ability interval (s) | Total power × |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | — | — | — | 1.5 | 1 |
| 2 | 0.85 | 1.3 | 1 | 1.275 | 1.3 |
| 3 | 0.85 | 1.3 | 1 | 1.084 | 1.69 |
| 4 | 0.9 | 1.2 | 0.5 | 0.975 | 2.028 |
| 5 | 0.9 | 1.2 | 0.5 | 0.878 | 2.434 |

**Verified**: ability power is the product of `power` multipliers, the interval is `ability.every` × the product of `every` multipliers, and the aura is multiplied by `1 + sum of aura` values. [sim-h87i1VLB.js: `function bi(e,t){let n=e.levelUps,r=1;for(let e=0;e<t-1;e++)r+=n[e]?.aura??0;return r}`]

| Level | Aura at this level |
|---|---|
| 1 | Max HP +8 (`maxHp`) |
| 2 | Max HP +16 (`maxHp`) |
| 3 | Max HP +24 (`maxHp`) |
| 4 | Max HP +28 (`maxHp`) |
| 5 | Max HP +32 (`maxHp`) |
