Who is the BEST character in Don't Starve Together?

[@adampozzobon5193]

I do love the duality of "Winona is a swap character, you can just make a farm and then use it with any other character, this is insanely powerful, Winona is going to the top of the list" And also "Warly is a swap character, you can just make his dishes and bundle them or give it to any other character, this means that Warly himself isn't good, bottom of the list"

[@-penta-1357]

To be fair, Winona's farms are way more useful than most of Warly's dishes.

[@nneykobar_hali]

I would kinda disagree. Having a bundle full of spiced up voltgoat gelly , is unmatch in terms of extra damage , by anything avaliable to every character.(apart of treeguard "minions" or tonn of pigs.) Whole Winonas catapults can be mostly replaced , by enenemies and a bit of gunpowder. Or even bunny village . The are kinda equal. Still. Warly has better setup , in case you actually wanna play him. His crackpot makes him walkable to the team of the go , while Winona needs a lot of time to set things up. Still , both of them equaly unmatched. They are roughly the same.

Yeah there are plenty of alternatives to catapults. Bunny village, mini sign oven, tooth traps, etc. and catapults don’t work on some bosses. Walrys always works

I love wendy because you become the wolfgang of swarm mobs. (Spiders, bats, pigs) Deal more damage than a regular damage characters with abigial. And the only downside (damage without abigial) can be completely negated by an ornery beefalo (50 dmg without a war saddle, basically a permanent day old ham bat that absorbs all non-ranged damage as long as you don't let it die) *note: Wendy and Wes Deal 51 damage with a darksword **Note: I have become more proficient in wendy, good lord, she is the queen of the constant, you can kill bee queen first autumn (day 11 if your fast enough.) There was a fact that I wasn't aware of, the full wendy + abigail buff does actually apply to beefalo (you deal basically wigfrid damage to single target while still getting crowd control) You can kill dragonfly with abigail because they prioritize hitting you The previously mensioned bee queen just requires a handful of potions Deerclops can be tanked quickly with a heatsource Toadstool can be killed before spring with a fire staff or two (but it takes even longer than it would with weather pains) And ancient feul weaver (and all prerequisites) can be killed before spring These aren't separate paths, they all fall before spring to a good solo wendy. Check out lardee 137's S tier wendy video, it taught me the things I didn't know that really upped my Wendy game.

[@bluegnubarbeque270]

I think the real power of characters is often locked behind their small changes and gimmicks not even their main things like for example wormwood can heal with rot and any other fertilizer so health management is actually easy when you adapt to playing this way or quiet can use seasonal fish instead of thermal stone for better temperature control. So I would build this tier list completely differently taking into account not how an avarage Wilson player would play these characters but how all of their perks combined create different playstyles

@@bluegnubarbeque270 To be fair most people play solo anyways. I myself have probably over a thousand hours and haven't joined or made a public server once. The idea of joining a server to play with randoms, have no sense of stability or control isn't enticing. Having like 6 players also makes the game too easy, Killing raid bosses with minimal armor and mediocre weapons like they were just some treeguard, they're suppose to be difficult. Combining abilities also leads to way too easy gameplay imo. Too many broken combos, for example if you mix the powers of just like 3 characters you can get somebody like Wanda or Wolfgang doing upwards of a thousand damage per second... Although if i had friends that liked DST i would make a server, its just that finding people that like the game is for some reason extremely hard. I play dont starve to make progress, for the somewhat challenging survival aspects, megabasing and to get to the endgame. Public servers ruins like 3 out of those 4 for me. Its fine if you disagree, these are just my opinions on the game and the way i like to play it.

You missed a few things like max not losing sanity from shadow items (dreadstone = best armor for him).

6:45 BERNIE! actually has 2000 hp I am so sad right now

[@genericname719]

Few things about Wortox: - Eating souls gives -4 sanity, not -10 (thought it was 5 before testing but it's 4) - Dropping souls also gives him +3 sanity. This seems negligable, but gives him extremely good synergy with characters that have good 'grinding' abilities like wendy or Winona, essentially removing his need to eat normal foods entirely when not going on long trips. Even when playing solo, there is no need to get 'twice the amount of food' because you can just kill a spider, eat its soul and then equip a tam or top hat for a few minutes. Alternatively you can set up a bee farm and eat taffy, which more than offsets the sanity penalty. - Healing decreases by 2 per player for a minimum of 10 hp (with 6 players) - His ability to go insane from both eating and overloading on souls gives him fairly easy access to nightmare fuel, which is good if you can handle the shadow creatures. And if you can't, just eat taffy. - He can use souls to dodge attacks, which allows him to finish fights like deerclops much faster (because he spends more time attacking), which means he also loses less sanity than other characters. - It is possibly to *effectively* store more than 20 souls by keeping 20 (or more) butterflies in your inventory and murdering them when you run out, though i concur that this IS a pain and should only be done for particularly difficult boss battles or VERY long journeys to the ruins. The last point has to do with how I play the game and is therefore not universal, but I don't find myself running out of souls that often, except when i teleport large distances. (e.g. "oh no, i forgot to make a starcaller's staff, let me go get one"). I get more souls from just killing the spiders i was going to kill anyway for their silk and monster meat, which provides more than enough souls for hunger and health purposes. So unless you frequently teleport large distances, something which SHOULD have a cost (in wortox's case, that cost is the time of re-gathering souls) it's not as much as an issue as you make it out to be. IMO Wortox would at least be A tier for his ability to maintain literally all of his stats with 2 small farms (bees and spiders), both of which can be set up in less than 6 days if you're lucky enough to find a suitable base location by then, as well as his great synergy with basically everyone. -> He can heal Edit: also saw wrong info about characters like wendy but I've already seen that being pointed out by others

[@fighter0056]

I disagree about Wortox The half benefits from food isn’t a problem because food is easy to come by. Your not „grinding“ souls Put a few flowers next to your base and you’re done. If you’re speedrunning you can punch butterflies on the surface and use the souls of moles underground. If a boss fight is coming up and you’re short on souls, this is the only time you „grind“ souls, which again isn’t taking much time. And yes I know butterflies don’t spawn in winter 🙄 but hear me out put a spider den near the base (best case scenario would be having a wendy on the team) and you’re golden unless you really suck at fighting and kiting (otherwise use rabbit traps) When you get used to Wortox the food downside isn’t even a downside anymore because food is easy to make and you can eat souls. And being insane isn’t a problem at all. You need nightmare fuel for alot of things so less sanity by food isn’t a big of a deal especially with a Tamo Shanter and Gloomer Personally, I don’t like how you approached Wortox in this video. It feels like you saw a problem with him and instead of actually thinking about those „drawbacks“ you just decided to call him bad because you’re not seeing the bigger picture. Wortox is S Tier, he has Mobility, can Soul hop away from Attacks and out of the bone Prison, he is easy to set up, he is good in Survivabilty because he can heal and eat by using souls and he is basically the teams „healing salve“ grinding Maschine. And I know this is such a cliché but you need some skill to unlock a characters Potential

[@qvoid-zb6uu]

so true

[@reviewreaper8508]

You're missing one crucial point. Wortox requires maintenance to be at peak condition. Even at peak condition, all he can do is being a healer-tank and a fetch-quest minion. Awesome at that job. But the moment you did any of these tasks, you need to regrind. The hunger drain is also pretty annoying so don't go afk for too long (bad longterm play). Take Wurt for comparism. When she spawns she's a green Wilson. Given time however, her entire maintenance becomes touching kelp every season once for sustain while all bosses fall to daily respawning fishmen off screen. That's a lot of quality of life. But she isn't limited to being a one trick pony, unlike Wortox.

[@adampozzobon5193]

Asparagaspacho actually doesn't lose cooling effectiveness in an icebox because of the icebox's natural cooling ability Spicy chili, on the other hand, actually loses heating effectiveness _faster_ in an icebox because, again, iceboxes cool

[@anthonyoliver418]

Although I see why Winona is the best for grinding, I feel like she should be way lower since the only thing she excels in requires a lot more prep than most characters while not having much else to offer immediately besides tape, I feel like she should’ve been A or B since not every server is going to reach the point of actually having her be worth while, and solo she requires way more set up to maximizes certain events, bosses, and even challenges you may face, plus you don’t always need to grind things by the time you max her out

[@SGT10-06]

If you do this again, I think adding a category for how they help/work as a team player could be helpful. I feel like you mention this quite often and personally think it warrants its own category.

[@Kunnoc]

Random character is the best. He is literally every character.

[@Neosimbionte]

I understand this is all based mostly on your personal appreciation of the characters, but I'd recommend that you check videos of pro or really good Wortox players. Wortox can be a true force of nature in the right hands, specially and mostly based on his long range teleport, paired with the fact that he can bypass many mechanics of the game altogether. I'm not saying he's an S tier, but its def way above average. Also Maxwell is in his own category now, beyond S.

[@Jecht1221]

Who do you recommend watching for wortox?

[@sleepymilk4599]

[@moebeans72]

Webber being below average is a bit harsh considering you can go to the caves early game and find tons of spider dens which you can shave for silk. Plus, when you have a spider army, hunger and health are dealt with and sanity becomes more manageable (due to murdering a few spiders). Webber is pretty good, it’s just that you need a bit more maintenance for a base. The one weakness he has in that regard is accidentally punching a den and starting a spider world war

[@Generic_Slugcat]

Plus he has a basically infinite supply of monster meat if you cause a spider war

[@loveeens]

So Wurt goes on top of the list because she can "basically ignore seasons" but we are not going to acknowledge how much effort goes into getting her seasonal fish? Her setup should be at the bottom of the tier list because of how time consuming it is to collect all her materials, and because of that she simply can't be on top of the tier list. It's not like she comes with all these amazing stats and followers, she needs to work harder than anyone to get it. And she can't get gold from PK and pigs hate her, so pig skins for armor and tapestry are hard to get. Not to mention that you have to go out of your way to simply feed her and not starve first winter - you need to rush lunar island for kelp or stone fruit or do farming. Meanwhile, Warly gets to ignore all seasons just with farming crops, and also excels at combat without needing to build an entire merm city. He might be worse at resource gathering at the beginning of the game but he can get enough for starters with honey crystals very fast, and once you survive till 2nd autumn you get Bearger who easily is the best lumberjack in the game. Wurt army is great for harvesting large quantities of materials for megabase but Maxwell is still better all things considered, if we are talking just megabasing. Merm King and merm army also need constant maintenance. They need to be fed regularly and king needs to be kept alive. So just like your judgment for Wortox, she can't have all her perks available at all times, they need constant upkeep time, and she needs to do it in both shards. Btw good luck ignoring seasons in the caves where you can't place tin fishing bins 😂

[@Fearnochange]

She does need prep time of course but the worst of it it literally the initial fish. You need to really devote 2 maybe 3 days “at most” (when you are first learning) in winter then it becomes easy in summer when you already have the ice bream from winter. . If it seems hard you can easily make regular craftsman then farm pig village a few times to get the pig skin. 3 merms can spank the pigs. This only requires fish which is not hard to get initially. Just go freshwater fishing or let the merms die which would just give more fish. I also break initial stray houses and pig heads. . When you get the merm king you can then advance to the guards. Merm king isn’t hard to feed. You can literally feed him every 7-8 days to be safe. When he hits max then just move on. Even without the mod he tells you when he is about full. . As for the fish she can hold it for 4 days before spoiling. Just come above ground every 3.6 days lol. It’s really not a big deal. . Lastly, I never really needed to but you can just give ocean fish to merms king for gold. It’s not as super easy as the pig king but if you have extra fish when out there you can get the extra gold.

[@Danyl-sd7kv]

As a wurt main with over 1,000 days world, I've never had a problem with gold. Sure, is not as easy as giving a lot of frazzled wires to pk, but there's plenty, specially in the caves. I tend to have more problems gathering industrial amounts of flint for roads so I farm those + gold at the same time. On the other hand, fishing is actually pretty easy, you only need a boat, a sea fishing rod, a stick and 1 lure, for both the ice bream and the sunfish, 1 day max if you know what you are doing

[@loveeens]

@@Danyl-sd7kv I'm familiar with fishing, thanks. You do have to get lucky and get a shoal of seasonal fish spawn to fish it out first. You must not only be in the right season but also in the right kind of ocean (seasonal fish don't spawn anywhere, it has to be swell ocean, which boundaries is sometimes hard to tell from rough or coastal), and they tend to spawn with sharks and gnarwails which will fish in your shoal, steal fish while you're reeling it or attack you during the reel, making you lose both fish and your tackles. It's not impossible, it's just extremely annoying. So much effort when you can just use thermals and moon callers! I would say this shouldn't even count as an impactful perk if you include all the prep it requires. Build a boat, get fishing rods, be at the right place in the right time...This all should be accounted for the setup cost, it's not available right off the spawn. And again, fish is *not* Wurt exclusive perk. Technically any character can do it. Her fish just survives in the inventory longer and gives her a sanity restoring buff. And of course there's plenty gold in the caves. But again, you'd have to go mine it either yourself (wayy too inefficient) or account prep time for setting up underground merm city. Which won't be available by default the first time you go there.

[@rediocre4350]

Wortox main here: 59:02 59:02 While I understand that you really dislike wortox and his soul mechanics. I don't understand the whole "grinding" souls thing. Souls: Souls are actually alot easier to get when you don't focus on them. Most of the time I get them when I'm doing anything else. From butterflies in between twigs, from pigs, so I can get pigskins, from spiders for meatballs. They are literally everywhere. Also the fact that I can carry my food, and lazy explorer, and heals all in one slot is so nice. Soul Hopping: Soul hopping/echoing is truly underrated here. The insane amount of time saved going from branch to branch instantly, rather than going around them is bonkers. Not to mention how good it is for events.

If 40 feels too strong just nerf the numbers on the souls by a tiny bit. Either that or make souls harder to get and make it just not have a cap.

I honestly would say webber is somewhat decent in general, although im somewhat new having only 48 or so hours of playtime because of as he mentioned the drops from spiders and being able to eat monster meat without downsides but you can also get the meat by using meat by taming one, picking them up and then using "murder" meaning more meat, silk, and spider glands which are especially useful to wormwood along with the other spider varients having decent abilities for example warriors/danglers lunging, 4 sec attack cd (1 more than normal spiders) and hp and also (unless its an AOE attack) you can becomes practically immortal by surrounding yourself with nurse spiders due to the cheap switcherdoodle (please note i have not managed to get a spider queen so no nurses) basically my point is webber is decent overrall, boasting somewhat easy food and silk collection, and for wormwoods, especially useful for healing so you can farther abuse your living log dispenser lol, decent combat due to a variety of soldiers for combat for range, healing, or classic old melee combat along with certain ones being super easy to replace like normal ones into nurses once youve tamed atleast one webber's army gets absolutely decimated by AOE attacks though so i would rank it in either B or C tier -a webber main who is somewhat bad at DST

For Woody, I think he could benefit from being more like Wilba from Hamlet, so when transformed, you have inventory but can't equip anything. and you can't do more complex tasks such as cooking on a campfire.

@@xxGreenRoblox bro this tierlist is one year ago, I had no idea what I was doing in the game- Not even I remember what reason is everyone's ranked for

[@simiczero3163]

Hey first of all, very nice video! I enjoyed it alot to listen to the stuff you had to say. I agree on some parts like Wickerbottom S and Wolfgang+Wigfried in A but even tho I love Wurt and Winona I have to disagree on them. Wurt is more like an A or S- because she can reduce her setup time by alot thanks to merms and easy access to fish but still is outclassed by Maxwell(Which I would put in S+) in the farming, combat and setup aspect. I also would put Winona and Warley both in B or A- because they have very good uses but the setup is annoying and the downsides are too big for what they do. But despite of my different view I can see why you ranked some characters like you did and look forward to see more content from you, you earned a new subscriber cheers!

[@xxGreenRoblox]

You really just can't say honestly that maxwell isn't the best character he has countless perks at the only cost of his spells destroying his sanity which he passively gains sanity from existing anyway Tree chopping? Maxwell Killing bosses? Maxwell Need more nightmare fuel because maxwell used alot of it on that boss? Maxwell can do that best Need to do a challenge where tools are going to be a luxury? Maxwell Don't have the time for massive setup for a boss? Maxwell just get some armor so you can fight to improve your fighter's dps Literally any task you need: Maxwell can help with that

Maxwell's setup should be A he can use everything he has right out the gate Maxwell should be A, A, A, C, A, A

[@TheMaxDesignProYoutubeShow]

huh i really thought this was going to be an Edgy Rick video judging by the thumbnail

[@mpg2032]

I think Wanda's setup should be D. Because you can go in the ruins in first autumn and get 40 thulecite pieces for two heal watch and alarming clock. And if you cool more pieces for additional one or two backtrack watch and MAYBE one heal watch. But I prefer 56 pieces for two heal, alarming clock and backtrack watch. It's enough to be really powerful for the end of your days. Plus you can go in the ruins in summer to be more powerful. And about grinding. I think it's should be B because of high damage(mid-aged - spider two hit, pig 3 hits, old - spider one hit, pig 2 hits) and range of alarming clock.

[@mpg2032]

I want to mention that the archives are exist, so you can get pieces more easily(maybe it's need a little bit of luck)

[@jaya6329]

weird how you did disregard winonas set up in relation to her usefulness.But you did not do so for wortox. That is beyond just a little bias. ...

Wendy is S tier or High A for sure, she needs a rework again, a small buff and nerf.

[@brunomanso9428]

There's no 'bad' or 'good'. There is the right tool for the job. I like farming food, so the best for the job are Wurt, Wormwood and Wickerbottom for veggies. Wilson, Webber and Wendy for meat.

[@abyss8354]

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ read this before the rest ⬇️ (I have seen they have not used or is not good with some of the characters) Wortox has a review that says so many wrong things Also you can use creatures in you inventory to carry more Bees are easier because honey is easy and it can be gathered while getting souls too

[@Adaammm]

Don't base your opinions about characters off of this guys. Some of the things he says about the characters are just straight up incorrect.

[@xxGreenRoblox]

Wurt was ranked #1 for uhhh no reason and wormwood my main was ranked very low for what he can do. If you factor in synergies with wortox wormwood has no downside and is a living log machine in fact you'll have so many living logs you'll be burning them in your firepit

[@arigatoespacialsuperadmiti7316]

Ok so ill explain how I think the meta is for ME. First of all the fact that most players can't fully agree on tierlists makes DST succesfull in ther balance I suppose?. The powerful ones are in order from better to worst: Wanda, Wolfgang, Maxwell, Wickerbottom Strong ones: Woodie, Wendy, Wortox, Wx, Wormwood, Wigfrid Average: Wilson, Weeber, Wurt Mediocre: Warly, Winona, Willow Bad: Walter, Wes. I believe wanda the Best thanks to her clock being better than any other weapon, even post CC and FW and teleportation being unmatched even if expensive but wolf is close because twice the dmg means half the time killing stuff, consuming les resources like armor weapons and healing as well as the affinity and planar from skilltree allows to kill shadows in less hits than old wanda and use the late game void and brightshade. Maxwell shadow prison is op for cheesing so many bosses and better than woodie collecting resources, good followers, hes more powerful tha wicker bc he can read the books too. Wicker has insane utility and potential but shes tied to being worse than maxwell just because the celestial portal exist and maxwell aoaet form his kit can use wickerbottoms books too.

[@landongreen7510]

1:00:03 You're goddamn right.

[@satiz7800]

How is both Wortox and Wurt D at setup when Wurt needs all the prep to get to that level while Wortox only needs like 2 tier 3 spider dens to get full soul? Not counting how he can pretty much get them almost anywhere. You overestimate how hard/time it takes to get souls way too much. Also his "need to farm double the amount of resources" is bs, if you know what you're doing you actually spend less time gathering food for hunger/health since your souls cover that, and the food you get from farming said souls end up becoming an extra at that. At max you need to look out for your sanity, considering the existence of the Tam o Shanter, the tent and Potato Puree (pretty much Taffy for him), I don't think it's a big deal at all.

[@jose-ec3co]

this is definitely one of the tier lists, with wolfgang being a tier

[@slayking2378]

He is S a lot of the best items are from bosses. Wolfgang legit has the best kill time with very little setup or downside.

[@reviewreaper8508]

I'd like to point out 3 concerns with this ranking. Characters are going to be rated extremely differently depending on their circumstances, as in if it's like a full solo run, a world with trusty friends or a quick one season session on public. Character's mobility is going to be huge factor in new maps, for exploration and being the first to get paid. Once maps, roads and towns are established, they lose their sole benefit... Summoners far surpass average cast after the set-up grinding. Like Wigfried is a strong day1 option but her QoL / longevity is TERRIBLE by comparism and her damage a joke. Conversely, I'd put Wolf into S tier. Not since "BIG DAMAGE GUD" but rather because that alone halves the grinding needed for . That's simplistic, yet good QoL. Lastly, people think Wolf/Wanda damage is good, omegalul. Put down a few Winona turrets and you already eclipsed that. There's no limit to those. No need to gear up. Or heal. There are plenty options to make farms (ab)using Character's / Minions in this game, also cheese, exploits, foodspam... TL;DR ... for example Wino can automate bosses just like spiders.

[@snoppy72]

I disagree with Wortox being placed c tier and here's why. Wortox has a 50% less sanity drain from other monsters, can heal big groups of people at one time when in a big fight as well as the already mentioned crazy mobility, if all you have to worry about is 50 percent decreased amount of hunger given by food when you could just eat souls which can easily be amassed from a single bee hive. BOOM mic drop

[@justmob9917]

As someone who plays wx a lot, i highly disagree with the thorns upgrade being a "meme". For bosses where you can't/won't kite anyway, like bee queen or fuelweaver, the extra damage is extremely useful. Give it a try, esp if the bosses are wet, the extra damage can almost rival wandas and wolfgang's, almost being a 75% increase assuning 150 damage every 4 hits

[@guatosaurio9753]

This is relatively new I know, but absolutely NOBODY thinks that Wilson is the best character to tame beefalos? I mean that with his alchemy branch he can have infinite sticks from wood (with that he can make food that is just for beefalos) making it very easy to fill the beefalo's stomach without worrying too much about the food in general (And yes, I'm main Wilson)

[@killerspree3280]

Hmmm I don't know man Wilson is kinda boring for me personally and his ability to transmute is nice but from me playing for 100+ hours I would say I rarely need it but of course this comes from a woodie main who didn't use beefalo or armour or tools anymore😂

[@DeadSnail1204]

wanda hands down. its so hard to go back to any other characters. backtrack watches are just convenient saves so much time getting about and then the most powerful weapon with range on it.

Plus the only setup is getting a shadow manipulator and celestial portal and then just changing character a bunch of times for a ton of time pieces

Warly should be at higher tier than willow. He can be swap character but at least he has unique recipes and crafts.On the other hand willow has a silly pet and weak torch that can cook foods. Also her advantages from fire is nonsense and not suitable for multiplayer.

This tier list is wonky.(Pun intended.) Wendy over wx, wolfgang, and wortox? They are literaly some of the best characters in the game. Webber can be just as good and if not better than wurt.

[@coolloser85]

You honestly can't rank these characters. Even if you just judge them solo. If you ask me Warly is the best character hands down. He is the jack of all trades. He is so good i can't play with any other character. It depends on whos playing them and how they are playing them. With Warly i train Beefalo early so that i can travel and save on health. Warly makes this easy and the team anwhere in the game early can feed beefalo and keep them trained. Thats way better early game then Abigail. They also change with who you team up with too.

[@Teratoma..]

You really let your bias show with Winona. You criticize Warly and put him in C tier for being a switch character, but Winona has this exact same problem. Starting a world as Winona sucks because you know you're going to have to gather a shitton of rocks before you stop being a character who's more or less pre-rework Wilson. At least with Warly you can run out of his dishes and have to switch back to make more, but once Winona has her structures set up, what are you gonna stay as her just for the trusty tape and faster crafting? Come on man. Edit: On a positive note, you make a lot of good points I agree with. I also think people over-value combat strength in assessing a character. I'm also in full agreement that Wortox is underwhelming, as he is designed to play like a combat character but he gains no direct advantages in dealing damage.
