[@shadowkhan422]

@@shiomaneki Depends on what . She is harder to tank bosses since her healing is limited but for something like ruins? Her clocks are unlimited heals basically and you can teleport home and then back each time you run out of space. Also , backtrack watch makes undodgable attacks a joke so some bosses actually get effed pretty hard

[@Amphian2005]

Wartox has a new air to the throne.

[@shiomaneki]

@@shadowkhan422 i actually said it because she's kinda squeashy and her clocks are expensive,therefore,not the most easy thing to get in the world in the early game(not to mention that although they are "infinite healing",you do need to wait for the cooldown to end) With that said,i do understand she can be literally imortal if you do use the backstep watch correctly. Sorry for the bad english,i haven't been comenting a lot in english these days,i hope that you could atleast understand what i just said.

[@EveloGrave]

In case people are not aware for those who want to make Second Chance clocks in solo play, you can obtain a renewable source of bone shards from fish by letting them rot completely then hammering the spoiled fish. (Small fish is 50/50 between Rot and Bone shard, large fish gives both rot and bone shard)

This seems a like a great character, more of a glass cannon support, high damage, constantly dies and takes damage, but you can use a lot of stuff to help others including yourself

[@loveluclins]

Eh, the glass cannon part is somewhat counteracted by the high damage even in young to middle age. Ease of nightmare fuel availability, and the fact she's got easy infinite healing. Also nightmare armor is great damage reduction for if you want less risk playing age 65+. But you can kill bosses just fine even if you're not old yet. I don't get why people call her a "support" though. The reviving is only good in case someone dies, which you kinda wanna prevent to start with. And rift watches are expensive so she helps herself more than others.

Maybe a small trick: When you teleport with the backtrek watch, immediately disassemble it with the tools(so no cost), reassemble them and set the same anchor point. This is to avoid having to wait for the cooldown.

[@BeniaminG_]

I forgot to say that she looks like Wilson's Sister/Mom/Grandma

[@coolejade]

I feel like she has no downsides. Like she is around so strong as Wolfgang, can teleport like Wortox and have infinite healing (or age). I feel like she needs a nerf… Edit: In the beginning her age is a downside but if you make some clocks you got infinite health (age).

[@nafets507]

@@coolejade The main downside is that she can ONLY benefit from her clock's healing, which can be tedious if you need to heal back up quick - pair that with the constant health drain and you can quickly go into crisis if you don't have enough clocks. But agreed, I think her second chance watch and alarming clock are certainly unbalanced

[@averagedoomenjoyer1232]

@@nafets507 They already nerfed her second chance watch but her alarming clock should also be nerfed imo. However, she has become my new main only becauseof her portal skills. I don't care about her damage.

[@coolejade]

@@nafets507 Maybe im crazy but I think if you got the sack her downside is over. I think it’s better that she can only have one clock that can be filled with something for more healing from the clock. That will make my inv not filled with clocks…

Fun fact: the backstep watch can be spammed at night to infinitely avoid charlie, at the cost of around 50 sanity for the time in between hops in pitch black. using two backstep watches will decrease the sanity drain to about 20, or 15 if used perfectly. (because you will run out of anchor points really fast and it's impossible to tell when an anchor point has been created in the night)

People are already arguing if she’s technically been in the constant the longest.

[@aaronking2020]

None of her items let her actually time travel, it's just that the effects of time go by faster for her, so I'm pretty sure she's only been in the constant for as long as she's actually been in the constant

[@nubbbot2319]

Wanda might not be noob friendly yeah, but as you said, when mastered shes... Scary, to say the least.

[@Interesting_Failure]

It is worth noting that the Alarming Clock turns into an ordinary whip (same damage as other whip items like Bull Kelp Stalk) when it runs out of fuel and can be used indefinitely in this state. Damage is lower than a regular spear but comes with increased range and is significantly better than walking cane so perfectly serviceable for small tasks like removing spiders without wasting more fuel

[@vanaduke4904]

her loosing time after taking dmg makes since if im not mistaken our age is reliant on our regenerative cells with time they die so we grow older they also heal wounds so that should be the correlation again i might be wrong and yes i know its been 5 days already

It is so funny that you use Wes as a example for how much damage each weapon can do and how many hits it takes to finish off monsters and other players XD

[@epistimonkapetanios]

I like how you use Wes as target.

[@arigatoespacialsuperadmiti7316]

Fun facts. You can use the backtreck watch and leave it behind if you use it on a chest. Second chance, backstep y backtreck can be a bit buggy in the ocean if a boat moves and drown you upon teleport. Disassembling a alarming clock does not provide nightmare fuel back. It is possible to create new pieces trough the celestial portal at the price of 1 Moon idol transforming into wanda again for ageless and 4 time pieces (very worth my opinion) Second chance cannot be used to revive wanda when dropped if it's in cooldown. Even if you are able to cancel large attacks with a quick use of ageless watch, enemies can also cancel your healing if you are hit while the animation is happening. She does not lose any maximum health when you die so she may not be THAT bad for players that die a lot and you focus into always having a lot of ageless and a secongld chance. For most mobs, the difference in the number of hits to kill them changes in just one when young-middle to old, ex. Crawling horror and terrorbrek takes 4 hits young-middle and 3 old. This means that sometimes the risk is not worth the reward and makes a more noticeable difference in bosses. Ex. Ruins being always old can be counterproductive since sometimes you need to rank clockworks.
