charlie wouldn't hesitate. she has in-file quotes in response to him and she doesn't take what he did to her (and everyone else) lightly. plus, it would be repetative. winona already gets that perk and it's one of the things that makes her unique. as a maxwell main, i feel like it'd be fair if charlie killed him FASTER than everyone else.

Could you imagine how godlike it’d be if Maxwell DST was an exact replica of singleplayer Maxwell? Lmao, the sanity gain of 20/min plus shadow puppets only costing 15 HP and the max sanity (day 1 trail mix best regen food lmao) and doing any of the jobs you’re doing at the time, and starting off the game with a night sword, night armor, some nightmare fuel, and a purple gem

[@TheBeard777]

I'd play him nonstop if that was the case, and I think many would do the same! He'd be WAY TOO good!

[@anonymousmink5027]

The Beard 777 honestly I see so many people trash on singleplayer Maxwell when I’m like “he starts with the second best armor and the best weapon in the game, and has a sanity regen so high he can wear night armor at night with 100% wetness and still be GAINING sanity, with his only downside being frailness which is negated by night armor and if you have enough basic knowledge of the game to kite stuff

[@POOH_LY]

I haved tried both DS and DST version, and I would say that DST version is ,in fact, better. While having +20 sanity per min seems really good on paper, but it makes sanity managing a whole lot harder. Staying insane is a pain in the ass. I have to wear dark sword and armor and eat green mushrrom, yet killing one nightmare creature and I am sane again. Also, the fact that the shadow minions only last for 2.5 days doesn't make me want to even summon them because they are not really great at gathering resources or fighting. However, his DS version still has something that I like: He can summon up to three fighters, and summoning them cost HP instead of tools. His minions are universal. (In my opinion, HP regening is much easier.) With that being said, I think Klei has planned to have every characters refreshed this year, so I hope that after the refresh(if he ever gets one), Max would be even better than both DS and DST version.

[@sairiel344]

@@POOH_LY DST Max is amazing at gathering. DS Max is good at everything. As for Nightmare fuel farming in DS, the ruins are your go to place to do it. You dont need to be insane for more than several dozen nightmare creatures to start following you around before disintegrating into several stacks of nightmare fuel with you just needing to run them around until the nightmare phase ends. The ruins I farm drop 2-3 stacks of nightmare fuel per phase and i didnt even get a good ruins spawn.

[@ВасилийМедведев-з5в]

The only issue I have with DS Maxwell is that his puppets don't work automatically. Although as a duelists they are far superior to those we have in DST, and starting off with night armor and dark sword is insanely powerful, I still don't like that he has to actually mine or chop stuff instead of just watching his clones do that for him
