NEW MASSIVE Walter, Wendy, & Wortox Update! Skilltree Spotlight - Don't Starve Together Guide [BETA]

[@TheBeard777]

***EDIT** BIG Hotfix #2 - forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/160979-game-update-643115/ ***EDIT*** Gravestone beautification takes 3 flowers, spawns a ghost, that ghost can fight with you and eventually spawns a dark flower/petal after 3ish days! Armor protects Abby if wearing the flower gown and any heals we use apply to her! Walter's scrappy frame has unlimited ammo! 100 extra health for Abby at sisturn (?). Walter's Woby Training costs Badge Points and we only have 6 Points (for now). Woby Training overall takes a long... long while so we'll wait for the true numbers down the line as I imagine they'll tweak 'em! Individual breakdowns coming when Walter gets his tweaks, Wendy works, and Wortox gets some buffs I imagine!

The sheer disappointment I felt when Wendy's lunar tree turns abigail into a gestalt but the shadow tree doesn't turn her into a nightmare creature...

[@luckyloomagu]

@@TheBeard777 I like her strength being in Abigail, but Klei consistently runs into the same problem, it’s as though they’re thinking “how do we make Abigail more interesting” rather than “how do we make WENDY more interesting” Almost everything they added is purely for Abigail’s benefit, and even worse, most of it is just really basic stat modifiers. Compare it to the kinds of things Winona’s skill tree does and it’s not even close, but that’s also part of why it’s so weird to me. Winona’s skill tree shows an extremely competently executed ‘make both the survivor and their summons stronger and more interesting.’ So really I’m just kinda confused…

@@TheBeard777 only good thing about Wendy is the health abby health buff and the flower armor. The scare is maybe the only second but it is really basic and niche since Abi will just mulch most things that get scared. The armor basically makes Wendy the best tank in the game.

[@plasmabasher]

I wish Wendy's skill tree was more geared towards teamwork with Abigail than just random stuff, like removing the gravestones and dark petals thing and instead adding actually useful stuff, like Abigail having more health, or dealing more damage. The tonic upgrade is also really disappointing, I was hoping it'd add new special tonics like the slingshot ammo for Walter. I also think the Shadow tree should be especially focused on Wendy's own resistance to losing sanity, like her "confidence" skill, which I'm guessing reduces overall sanity drain for nearby teammates. This might be really out there, but I also think it'd be cool if the Abigail and Wendy skills were compressed into two different large skill trees, rather than several small ones, even with the ability to give Wendy and Abigail different alignment powers. What about the ability to use Abigail's flower as a weapon, or summoning a damaging field like Abigail in a fixed location? Why can't we just turn Abby into a tanky, high-damage poltergeist? Overall, as a Wendy main, I am VERY disappointed with these skills. I really hope Wendy's get some massive changes.

[@TheBeard777]

Here's what I was hoping for here a long time ago and... Klei crapped the bed in nearly every way unfortunately. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ_dpmWbf7qGpqM

[@TeethMeat-jm8ou]

For Walter looked like the thulicite slingshot was that it had two different slots for ammo so you could do a utility ammo like the honey, poop or freeze rounds and then easily shoot with your damage rounds work ease.

[@TheBeard777]

Indeed! Thanks to all those telling me this! Again however, my issue with it is that they call it a "Special Attack" and simply having two ammo types loaded is not really a *"Special Attack"*, ya know?

[@TeethMeat-jm8ou]

@TheBeard777 sorry didn't see anyone else saying that so I decided to. Meant no offense. But yes that is odd that they are calling it a "special attack". Hopefully it is just a placeholder before full release.

[@darkstone_official_2427]

So Wendy basically turned into the Keeper from Graveyard Keeper. Cool. Save spirits by purifying bodies (Abigail's potions) and place down graves and decorations (Self explanatory). Just make sure that if you find a talking skull that you have plenty of wine. Otherwise it's gonna be a pain in the ass.

[@filipahlers6156]

I noticed that Wortox' tree is budgeted out in such a fashion that you can pick the entire naughty or nice side, plus the entire panflute branch, plus an affinity for fifteen points. And you could possibly sacrifice the panflute skills to opt into the opposing morality branch without knocking your balance out of whack. For a Nice balanced Wortox, I could see opting out of Panflutes in favor of the Soul jar tree, particularly the "Carry more souls" skill. Sould Decoy could be good too, but only if it gets reworked a bit.

[@cyboygaming1925]

One of these days WX78 will get a skill tree, and I will resume my rightful place as the gear munching one machine a-bot-calypse

Technically speaking WX already has one which makes his inevitable Tree really interesting and probably stupidly OP by default. 😅

[@NickFury-i4b]

​@@TheBeard777 Yep!

[@WandaGagne]

I feel like the commands for Abigail tree could just be added as a base feature and not skilltree tied. The moving gravestones could be given to a special shovel. Petal Conversion could happen naturally with the sisturn or Wendy. Dark Affinity could at the very least give Abigail base shadow strength enhancement. I'm getting the feeling with all three Skill Trees that they're a bit scared of making characters OP, so they have bloated trees of lackluster perks with a few gems when some lines could easily be combined at the very least to make them worth it. And making some crafts base to character and improved via skills instead of dependent on them, like the knapsack and soul jar.

[@TheBeard777]

One of the biggest issues with Skilltrees is that more than half of every Skill ever introduced can be basekit, if not more! Which is why Klei sucks at making them consistent because they are seemingly incapable of recreating what they did with Woodie for some reason. His is the foundation of how to make Skilltrees worthy of note. You don't just *add more* for more's sake. You take what you already have and refine them.

[@AshGroveMN]

Honestly the complexity of wortox's tree has so much potential. I wouldn't fully commit to using just the naughty tree. But mixing in primarily nice, and leaning towards a specific build with naughty can get insane really quickly! Take it from an borderlands og!

Abigail should've been transformed into a nightmare creature for shadow alignment. It fits with the transformation of the lunar side, and could likely deal damage faster, DoT, or even just more damage to lunar enemies at the very least Just always sad when I see the shadow side not as useful as the lunar one, most are honestly just bad or just not interesting, while lunar gets the better stuff

aight i know this is beta but i'm a bit disappointed already by wendy and wortox's skill tree, they did become more OP but the skills i feel like aren't creative enough, with wortox I would go the dark mage route, similar to willow basically some special abilities that are cool instead of having a "knabsack" lol that's kinda lame, rather than that give wortox ability to revive dead creatures (for example u kill a tallbird for the loot, u revive it with several souls, then u kill it for more loot), OR... ability to reveal a small area of the map with a soul, OR... give life to inanimate objects like trees turning them into tree guards, give life to carrots turning them into carrats... idk these are the things i would want but we won't get, idk so far willow has the best skill tree in my opinion

[@WanderingNecoArc]

@@WanderingNecoArc i like the soul jar idea, that's good

[@WanderingNecoArc]

@@michalvrabec454 yeah the soul jar is so good, but yeah because of that i think is good the knabsack, because either way you're going to make one jar, besides like with wortox you're not going to heal with food or recover sanity with food, so i like the drawback of having this powerfull weapon especially in early if you know what you're doing and in mid game until late game to like you're handicap with less item slots

If they are going to add pan flute skills, they should really update the mandrakes. They are one of the few mobs that are unrenewable, and they are a plant that have always had a moon connection.

​@@Arrisu_ True, but that is the item form. It would be fun to have an army of annoying, screaming guys planted at my base. Maybe they should be able to breed in some way. They are already limited to 2-3 per world gen, kind of like the Doydoy. So, having a similar option to help them raise their numbers would make sense. I imagine that mandrakes spread by killing mobs in a specific way on a full moon or something. According to legend, that is literally how they grow in real life.

And well, healing abi it's not that hard. the rest is eh. Maybe would be nice if flowers near a sisturn make the range or sanity gain better. Consideirng how most wenbdy players are, I would have added some more utility functions like amking abi able to tend to plants, maybe give a little more light possibly with a potion as well as some sort of mechanic with AoE attacks from enemies that hith both abi and wendy. Shes good in most combats but there a comple where shes really weak so it needs maybe that if both get hit abi gets a damage reduction or some sort of shield.

Fun thing about wortox's soul attack - it only damages creatures with souls. So it won't work on clockworks or shadows and the like! And in pvp instances, it won't work on wx

[@RookTVchannel]

Maybe let the knabsack store items in its own inventory (kinda like Maxwell’s shadow storage), That’d give it much more usage. It also could use a flat damage increase, cause it currently just deals as much damage as a spear. As a Wortox main, I love this update! The naughty and nice inclination could also affect Krampus spawn rates in my opinion, great video!

[@TheBeard777]

The sack needs to be a portal storage system. Woby is already so there's no excuse there. And it would be cool to have more interactions with the inclinations, yes!

[@Arsenal6041]

My skill tree ideas: 1. Wendy • More skills including dead players giving them more battle and haunting options. Like make 100% chance to spawn spider queen by haunting level 3 spider den or treeguard from hunted tree etc. • Graveyard skills are in my opinion useless. It would be better if you can renew graceyards by using mourning glory, and have a chance to dig out additional mourning glory as well while digging out items from grave (maybe 25% chance) 2) Walter • Bouncing ammo or upgrade to slingshot to make ammo bounces. Increase slinghot ammo damage. • More webby usefull skills and skills focusing on Walter Scout Badges. 3) Wortox • Naughty side: Give wortox new abilities by using soul. For example: Soul llink - linking 2 creatures together, reduced damage deal to creatures and if you kill one of the creature, the other one linked take damage equal to max health of the killed creature. It could also deal double damage, if the killing blow was dealt by Knapsack or be planar. • Knapsack new item could increase by a little your speed for each item in your inventory (not including stacks). • Knapsack damage would increase by the total number of souls in your inventory and soul viles. • Nice side: New abilities focus on wortox hunger and starving. for example: You lose sanity while starving ( instead health), gain more hunger from eating souls (while starving), gain ability to free soul hopping (while starving). Maybe ability to crafting mobs by using souls for materials? • Neutral: Pan Flute skills are good but could be better.

[@Thug-Hunter]

I can believe Wortox can craft soap in the soak and use it as a weapon.

I'm glad to see my boy Wortox having his own skill tree, but the knapsacker seems like a weird weapon to give Wortox.

Note about the scrappy slingshot attachment: It can hold infinite amounts of ammo in its stack! so for that alone its really good. Edit: Note about the badges, you can use up to 6 points worth, level one badges cost 1 and level two badges cost 2. So you can indeed use level two badges immediately and stack it alongside level one badges. Edit 2: fully decorating graves as wendy will spawn a bigspook, which will fight hostile mobs (and probably non wendys but I haven't tested that).

Thanks for some clarification! I have been putting stuff in the pinned comment since this video has released as 1) it's a Beta, so things are subject to be missed and 2) Klei already released a Hotfix so people seeing this now are probably confused about why their game is different from mine!

[@koromau3854]

@@TheBeard777 You're welcome! Thought it might be helpful for when you visit the skill trees in greater detail!

So your telling me I can move 10 graves and during a full moon use them for farming kills

[@TheBeard777]

Sure, if you wish!

[@Dvd_d8]

The automatic full moon pig skin farm will now be possible without the need of that set piece Just switch to her and move all gravestones or make more

[@chocolatemilk6022]

If you decorate any of them with 3 flowers it makes a ghost spawn from that grave. You can have multiple graves decorated at once for multiple ghosts. I didn't notice the flowers wearing off after several days or the ghosts staying permanently dead but I need to test it more tomorrow. Got 1 dark flower from one of the graves so far as well. Not sure if it spawned it on it's own or converted a flower I planted close to the grave

[@TheBeard777]

3 flowers to decorate, 6 days for the ghosts to stick around, 3 days for petals to spawn.

[@thiagodasilvasousa9346]

please, klei, make it so that wortox can kind of enchant the pomegranate with 1 souls for some kind of buff for wortox and the group, for example for him, every time he eats one, he fills 60 hunger and 1 free local teleport and for allies to teleport close to him when they eat, this will make them value the fruit more, to reference Greek mythology

[@thomasdevlin5825]

I thought it might be fun to do playthrough for the character that got the permanent hallowed nights skin out of the holiday drop, I got Wortox's no eyed deer skin and then Wortox gets a skill tree right after that. Also Wendy moving gravestones is OP, automatic werepig farm wherever and whenever you want, no more hoping for a dev graveyard. Also also, the knabsack really doesn't sound good as a weapon, but as a tool I think it has potential, being able to sweep up a pile of items in the ground could be an early game alternative to a lazy forager, maybe just grab the first perk and ignore the rest

[@انسالحربي-ي6ش]

6 characters left without skilltree

[@TheBeard777]

Until Klei decides for Character Refresh Updates 3.0! (Please don't. That'll kill me...)

[@Dvd_d8]

And I think Wanda is very close to getting one, I've noticed they've released at least one DLC character skill tree every update except for Willow and Wigfrid

[@Arsenal6041]

Warly, Webber and Wickerbottom should be next :D

[@Dvd_d8]

@@Arsenal6041 yes, I think they're the ones that need it the most

[@Arsenal6041]

wickerbottom is outmatched by Maxwell because he can use her books too. They could remove Maxwell abilities to use wickerbottom books.

[@Sjach963]

Can't wait for Wanda's skill tree... somewhere in the far distant future, reaching out to us

[@TheBeard777]

Next year... This is very likely Klei's final Update of 2024.

Wendy turns from new player trap into all players trap

[@elderdragon1628]

Yay my boy wortox tree is finally here

[@jesterls]

As a main wortox i was kinda hoping for some krampus and Naughtyness interactions, the Naughty tree is a lit disappointed, the soul jar is amazing don't get me wrong, but the sack and de decoy, can be removed completely and they won't be missed, could've have some group dmg buff after using a soul to heal. krampus interactions, like spawn them more often. maybe son Naughtyness count increase when doing some task or thing on the word (no just kill passive mobs). don't know just saying, i loved the good tree and the jar tho. ♥

[@GoldenLama61]

I think that the knabsack is trash and you need to basically fill half your inventory to use it to its max potential and the revive thing is a little underwhelming and the affinities are trash

[@gamingdudedonal3312]

OHHHH MY GOOOD IM GOING TO GO FLIPPING INSANE YESSS THIS IS WHAT WORTOX MAINS HAVE BEEN WATIFIN FOR AHAGAAHAGAGAHSSHAHSG

[@TheBeard777]

Wortox's are eating so, SO frigging well in this Update.

[@sauldimas7009]

Maybe the shadow affinity means that whenever both you or wendy kill anything she does an AoE damage which works much better for hordes of mobs and minions Quite the opposite of the gestalt one

[@wraithofradiation2977]

Dude warly HAS to be next PLEASE KLEI

[@Crabwalkuri]

maybe the heart has to be squeezed by a different survivor so that they teleport to you? or maybe if they use it while they're dad they will respawn next to you?

[@TheBeard777]

Yeah, gotta test it more in the individual Tree breakdowns that I will work on in the coming day!

Hopefully 3 more character skill trees for the next update too.

[@ValiThe]

Im kinda curious what will WX's skilltrees be, theyre already pretty op, maybe lunar/shadow related circuits?

[@nathanialhammonds7268]

I mean you do more damage with the nap sack if you have pure horror witch can be got from piggo, so dark sword damage for 2 silk is worth in my opinion. I do understand it has a huge build up tho:)

My prayers have been answered for wortox skill tree!

[@TheBeard777]

And it's really good even if half of it is utterly terrible!

[@LunesLunacy]

Wendy's skill tree was mild. Abigail turning into something else was surprising (Lore) but maybe they could give her a special place to store her potions or maybe more focused on making ghostly allies.

[@TheBeard777]

They're working on it! Two Hotfixes out already with a third incoming this week!

[@glowter22]

Waaaaaaaaat how did I miss this! edit: sorry it was beta haha still super hype!

[@opera1564]

Wait, did Klei just forget about Walter story telling?

[@Nuhhuhhuh]

It might be remembered in the rework

[@TheBeard777]

Klei has forgotten a lot of things about their own franchise actually. But that's a topic the majority in this Community don't want to talk about because it highlights how their precious game and Klei can do no wrong.

[@nukeson8096]

i must say wortox and wendy are super disapointing. Wortox feels SO unfinished its crazy. the knabsack just feels wrong, i dont see a reason to use it much since it gets beaten by later weapons and well who the hell has time to get and keep 5 jars full of souls in their inventory, just for darksword damage? so far the wortox tree just expands on his current abilities and adds like... the knabsack but like i said it sucks. Most skilltrees add something completely new, like willows spells, wormwoods everything, woodies guards, armor, cane etc, wurt getting merm transformations and such

[@TheBeard777]

But funny enough the best Skilltrees are the ones that add very little more/new and simply refine. Hence why Wortox's tree is still so good because his "Nice Branch" does all the heavy-lifting.

[@nukeson8096]

@@TheBeard777 the strength cannot be doubted thats for sure, yet playing the character doesnt feel pleasant the way woodie does for example

[@Siruthian]

As of now, armor would reduce the damage done to Abigail. This, to me, is especially busted, since it makes tanking that much more efficient. Fights like ancient fuelweaver come to mind. Oh, and I don't know whether or not this is a bug, but eating healing food whilst equipping the Floral Shroud will heal abigail instead.

[@TheBeard777]

Yeah, noticed that myself after initial recordings here. If it is intended then it's easily the best part of her Tree and almost nothing else matters.

[@SquallHornet]

If you balance between naughty and nice side and pick actually useful perks you get: aoe soul attacks, soul jars, increased soul limit and buffs for helping your teammates and soul hop discount. Excellent tree but affinity part should be changed a bit because it just seems puny.

[@jacklansdale77]

Do the honey rounds apply slow in an area as well, with the honey trail? Otherwise, I'd say this could have been an upgrade for the ice rounds instead.

[@justloomy1322]

I was waiting and waiting and it finally came

[@yalkn2073]

I think knabsack's purpose is to pick up large amount of items at once, useful for rock fruit farming

[@Nuhhuhhuh]

Doesn't make it worth a skill point, unfortunately. If it leaned more into being a weaponized backpack, it could potentially work better

[@yalkn2073]

@Nuhhuhhuh Yeah it doesn't. But isn't technically useless

[@reillocb]

I think beard is forgetting the chain potential of soul damage. Killing something with a soul drops another soul which does more damage which kills something else etc etc

[@TheBeard777]

No, you're failing to put two-and-two together that this was made before the Hotfixes released. Watch the more recent videos.

[@reillocb]

​@@TheBeard777 guilty as charged! you def caught me flipping between vids lmao. what can i say, i'm super excited. me (wortox) and my gf (wendy) have been waiting a long time for this~

Hope you two enjoy! Perfect duo for this Update already by the sounds of it!

[@Prazca]

coming back to the game ive already been drawn to wortox but now im 100% interested in maybe even maining him, ive always loved being support but i find it hard to keep up with wormwood with the whole "no healing from food" and having to basically stockpile rot so having wortox as support is much more managable

[@alienkidable]

so does this mean we can do the auto pig farm where ever now with wendy?

[@thelettere7457]

I think wortox’s knabsack should be different My idea is that you would have to put certain stuff in it to make it weigh more kinda functioning like fishing rod bait or Walter ammo So say putting some pieces of marble in the knabsack would make it do a nice amount of damage but swing slower While putting sticks in it would make it not do Alot of damage but swing considerably fast I think this would make the weapon a fun skill to consider investing in, instead of a roadblock to soul jars. Also i feel the knabsack should have some extra range or something This is just my idea to actually make the knabsack a consideration

[@merefailninja953]

So wartox has new lines when naughty or nice involving souls. being low being full or overloading pretty cool for knowing if your wartox is a healer or not

[@TheBeard777]

Yup! New voice lines depending on his inclination!

[@curlyhaireddevil8548]

I think the whole thing for having two ammos is for if you want to use two different types. Like if you want to slow a boss with honey on alt and then leave damage for main. Hotswaping would be the same but thats my guess.

[@TheBeard777]

Ah, maybe! But it's weird to phrase it as a "Special Attack" though if that's what they meant!

[@Demomanflower]

If they release a warly update hes skill tree needs to have memory loss:warly forgets what food tastes like
