At some point the credit for Guille’s contributions to this video was removed from the description, this is unacceptable especially given that I also originally forgot to credit him in the video and forgot to add credit originally twice in the description on the original release of this video. The promised shout out and credit in the Wurt video remained unchanged throughout. The credit has now been justly added and I would like to apologise to both Guille and my audience for making this mistake, I have made amends with Guille and I strive to improve my crediting process and my content, this kind of forgetting to credit someone simply can’t happen again due to the systems I have in place to note down those who should be credited during the production of videos; this system I have been using for the past 2 years and I haven’t missed a credit since, I wish for a strong, kind and overall nice Don’t Starve community, I hope this message and action of mine reaffirms that sentiment, thank you for reading! All the characters have be re-worked! Here is the updated & more in-depth version of this video: kzhead.info/sun/mJawlbCjgph9lK8/bejne.html CHANGES: Wilson get re-worked which gave him a perk system/skill tree boss run here: kzhead.info/sun/o6eInZeOnZ6aeWg/bejne.html Walter's slingshot is cool for killing birds etc but the dps is bad. Wurt can use merms to gather wood/rocks somewhat fast & has had some mild improvements. Wolfgang was changed drastically: kzhead.info/sun/ityahc-PiKRqfZE/bejne.html WX78 was changed drastically: kzhead.info/sun/ftGCaaWebpZuqmg/bejne.html Wickerbottom had new books added: kzhead.info/sun/jNGJqMWasYONgGg/bejne.html Wortox received some soul related buffs including teleporting across the map - I will be re-doing his boss run Maxwell got his rework: kzhead.info/sun/hpeJeauir35joJ8/bejne.html
Are you going to do another boss run for the Wolfgang rework?
@@animationmaniac397 Yes
I love the slingshot to kite Deerclops from a distance, cheese 2nd phase Klause and aggroing neutral mobs. It's useful in its own ways and very fitting for the scout playstyle.
+ you can spam merm houses from the day you find swam. Just enslave merms to gather enough wood amd than lead them into tentacles for fish and tentacle drops. You can reliably get 20+ houses before winter if you put ypur mind to it
@@littlesunshine270 imagine cheesing deeeclop and klaus
Don't forget about Walter's ability to tell campfire stories and regenerate everyone's sanity!
I don't think this is too practical unless you have a big team, since you can kill the shadow creatures or pick cactus
@@Jakeyosaurus Besides the point. Not like you included Maxwell's duelist because it's practical.
He drains my irl sanity when doing that
lol
@@potatowedges765 fr
About Wormwood: he can't lose health from eating things either, so he can eat raw red mushrooms without losing health
Also, wormwood can so easily constantly have a dark sword on him, it makes combat super easy if youre atleast somewhat okay at kiting, people in these tier lists always seem to forget how easy it is to mass produce healing salves, i have 40 on me at any given time as wormwood, the animation is a big long but it certainly works.
I didn't know til I accidentally discovered it when eating some mushrooms for food risking losing hp!
@@xanadu2469 dark sword and armor and you are fine
Wormwood says when inspecting long pig (human meat) he says belly stuff
WHAT!!
I remember my first character ever was WX-78, I didn't have a clue on how to play the game, survived the first days by eating petals and seeds, on the 3rd day it started raining and I died. 10/10 will eat petals and die from rain again.
Same, after playing a little of every character, I can to the decision, WX-78 is the most fun
@@ravingtac0896 probably because it's the easiest
I feel like Wendy's combat is both 10 and a 4 depending on what you are versing haha. So average of 7 is about right haha.
Absolutely
As a Wendy main, I agree
About Walter's slingshot: it's not useless. Being the only ranged weapon in the game that's cheap to use, you can use it for a lot of things, like killing birds and angering koalas/goats/other mobs that flee. Nothing in dst is useless, pretty much every single item can be used in one way or another.
In my opinion, Walter’s Slingshot is very good for new player to use, since it can 1 shot rabbit and bird so new player can find food easily.
If I need a range wep to agro something I make an ice staff but I can see the slingshot's nieche uses
You can do all of that with a boomerang. With less damage ofc
Not to mention that the slingshot is pretty good against shadow creatures since you can basically stunlock them by holding the attack button with a slingshot
@@boobaloo9375 that's a good use true, Wanda can do that too and it makes fighting them in bunches really relaxing.
Tip for Wendy players: because of Abigail's speed and the fact that it takes most mobs a moment to realize that she's a threat, she can be used to easily kill butterflies or sometimes even mobs that flee from you like rabbits, saving you the trouble of trapping them if you just need the resources they drop.
I actually think that wolfgang is promoting tanking playstyle even more, and that usually transfers to wolgang players ravaging though fridges
Haha update go brr
@@HanganakaNak actually, i think the update promotes tanking even more, since he lost his speed boost and doesn't suffer a penalty from marble armor. on top of that, if you waste time kiting with new wolfgang, you'll lose mightiness, so it's best to just keep tanking.
how?
@@keane6 so you dont have speed penalty and you tank? where is the logic? He cant kite because has default speed? i dont understand anything
@@keane6 Yeah but kiting was better than eating Proige Progie Progei ANYWAYS i personally think that dumbells are good and fun free 2x bosst but when you eat things and get that boost you don't need to wait a a munite the full you just need to eat like 8 carrots i think for full 2x boost [New update made my play style bad :{ ]
I used to always use Wilson as a noob, but my god using characters like wigfrid/Wolfgang/Wanda is soo nice
I use wigfeid but I don’t use her special “songs” are they really useful ?
They're pretty good to be honest, just a pain to craft
@@roseg5684 I didnt use them either back when I used Wigfrid, still a very good character. The hardest thing about her is not being able to quickly eat anything like a seed to stop starving until your meatballs is ready
All of these characters are so creatively made. So much work has been put into their designs and mechanics
I found wickerbottom to be a decent beginner character. Being able to make a backpack right away without a science machine, and being able to build a shovel off the bat, makes the early game that much easier. Her high sanity is nice for newer players learning the mechanic. She's good pretty much from early to late game, and her sub par combat skills are made up by tentacle books. Speaking of tentacle books, being able to farm spots for your first spring is also really useful.
That's the problem though, great to start and explore more comfortably but then you've got the rest if the game. You are only going to be living as a nomad for about 4 days. And then her usefulness vanishes like that. Books are handy but i don't rate that
Shes pretty good for mega bases cause she Farms grass twigs etc pretty quick
@ChallengeCommander ☹️
I think you should've added a "versatility" stat to these ratings. Also I find it really dumb that people keep calling Walter's slingshot "useless" because of its bad damage; DAMAGE ISN'T THE POINT. It's an unlimited ranged weapon that's cheap to use, and has utility ammo. Since Walter is at more risk than other survivors during combat, giving him a slower but safer way to fight only makes sense, and being able to just start the game and immediately begin taking out birds and rabbits is a HUGE boon.
fr. the game is literally called "don't starve".. having a character that can hunt easy food with 0 risk is a huge help in a pinch, regardless of dps.
I don't think the slingshot is as good as you advertise. Any character with a spear/axe/any melee weapon can easily kill a rabbit if they get in between the rabbit hole and the rabbit and birds aren't really that great of a food source. Damage is incredibly important. You said that the slingshot gives Walter a safer way of fighting enemies, which means that you consider the slingshot a viable weapon, making damage very important. If you actually use cheap resources you don't do a lot of damage and using expensive ammo is too much of a waste. Because the fight takes longer, the player has a lot more opportunities to get impatient and slip up, making it unsafe in the long run. It also gives outside forces such as rain, hound attacks, seasonal bosses, other monsters or even extreme weather a chance to mess everything up.
@@fishycheese I've tried to chase rabbits and turkeys with a spear and thay almost never work, even if i stand near the hole the rabbit runs. I maybe still a bit of a beginner but i def fond it more easier to use a ranged weapon.
@@fishycheeseof course. Because the only players that play this game are 1337haxxors that know every single mechanic by heart and study 1000 hours before they touch the game. Touch grass buddy.
i love the idea of wanda, glass cannons are already my favorite kind of characters because i absolutely love high risk high reward mechanics , but i also love the whole watch motif she has, its just really cool
I love playing wes, because i love the idea of purposefully playing a character the game says "Fuck you, fuck everything you love, you're not allowed to be happy ever again" to
Woody is the best early game character for a group. By day 6 you can: 1. Find the lunar island (via goose) 2. Collect All the seaweed and stone fruit trees + Anenemy 3. Mine tons of stone, gold and the lunar alter (via beaver) 4. return home to make an incredible base
Fair
So you pretty much just leave your team for 6 days and come back with everything you'll need?
@@tysonmaceachern9673 yes, but it’s the easiest 6 days in the game, and make the rest of the year better
Woodie can speedrun lunar island and get you kelp plants and stone fruits and a lot of glass cutters. He can easily take care the frog rain with charge attack . Webber can actually make a farm that provides 20 mm per day a full a frige in few days (infinite silk for drip and healing from salves). Walter can tell stories as well
With the new boat changes you travel pretty fast with just an oar and a boat so woodie kinda got devalued in this aspect
@@Jakeyosaurus I disagree only because of how much cheaper it is for woodie to become a goose while other players will need to gather wood which is best suited for woodie (he can also get a ton of wood while he's there for everyone) unless you have a maxwell around making woodie the best for bringing lunar loot to the mainland extremely early. I think what devalues this advantage the most is lunar loot just isn't that amazing other than the kelp and rock fruit. Glass axes aren't needed if you have a woodie or max and the cutters are just situational for shadow creatures.
Why are people liking Jakes comment? Woodie is still the best to find lunar day 1
Oh for sure, he's definitely the best, but I'm saying any character can do what he does just a little slower
@@saltyninja9875 You only need 33 logs to go to Lunar Island, which is only 11 trees, or less if you also have a shovel. (Not counting alchemy engine but still not much)
If you’re fighting as a team and there’s someone to tank for Walter, he can then do constant dps instead of having to kite like other people
I would say that Wanda should have more survivability points if considering other situations. Because the way she "heals" herself, I don't even care about eating raw monster meat when I really don't have any food left because she can negate the health penalties. I joined a public server once on the middle of the summer. Since no one wanted to help me, I went into the caves and started mining stalagmites, but I only survived because I was eating red mushrooms lol
I rated her survivability assuming you were always in the elder state for max damage
@@Jakeyosaurus that is stupid.
You can't compare her to Wolfgang damage wise if you're not always elderly
@@pustota7254 It's stupid to assume the person playing Wendy isn't dogshit and is actually playing her right when evaluating how good she is?
@@bongus6754 why are you talking about Wendy?
About Webber's ability to eat monster foods: it carries over to stale and spoiled ones (webber can eat raw, spoiled monster meat with no downsides) but only stale and spoiled monster food
I didn't see any other people doing this, so I'm making a comment with timestamps for every character, plus their ratings. Just felt handy to have. (List will be updated for character reworks and future videos) Wilson : 0:34 Survivability: 6/10 Utility: 5/10 Combat: 5/10 Willow : 1:21 Survivability: 6/10 Utility: 6/10 Combat: 6/10 Wolfgang: 2:50 Survivability: 6/10 Utility: 6/10 Combat: 10/10 Wendy: 4:15 Survivability: 7/10 Utility: 8/10 Combat: 7/10 WX-78: 6:15 Survivability: 6/10 Utility: 7.5/10 Combat: 8/10 Wickerbottom: 7:36 Survivability: 5/10 Utility: 9/10 Combat: 5/10 Woodie: 9:28 Survivability: 6/10 Utility: 6/10 Combat: 6/10 Wes: 11:11 Survivability: 1/10 Utility: 6/10 Combat: 3/10 Maxwell: 12:02 Survivability: 4/10 Utility: 9/10 Combat: 5/10 Wigfrid: 13:00 Survivability: 10/10 Utility: 7/10 Combat: 6.5/10 Webber: 14:18 Survivability: 6/10 Utility: 7/10 Combat: 7/10 Winona: 15:09 Survivability: 5/10 Utility: 9/10 Combat: 6/10 Warly: 16:05 Survivability: 5/10 Utility: 10/10 Combat: 8/10 Wortox: 17:27 Survivability: 9/10 Utility: 4-9/10 Combat: 6/10 Wormwood: 18:34 Survivability: 4/10 Utility: 7/10 Combat: 4/10 Wurt: 20:10 Survivability: 5/10 Utility: 7.5/10 Combat: 7.5/10 Walter: 21:26 Survivability: 4/10 Utility: 6/10 Combat: 4/10 Wanda: 23:27 Survivability: 7/10 Utility: 10/10 Combat: 10/10 And yes, I know I had little reason to do this. But.... Why not?
Let’s play together! 😊
thank you kind sir
@@Logi_Elaire You are welcome!
Its in the description...
Wes tool durability applies to weapons meaning he can use less dark swords than wendy without abigail
True!
And it applies to staves as well making him an alright caster of sorts
Willow have a huge problem. Once she is somewhat insane she will start randomly ignite things, so she will burn all your base.
but her bear also gives her a bit of sanity if its equiped in her hand slot
they removed that a while ago
@@yeahmemia what???? ..... literally no way they removed that lol. source?
@@yeahmemia I think so aswell, never happened to me that I burned random stuff with willow even with low sanity.
@@sklsdjfDST wiki.... Willow will only light fires under her feet in normal DS but they removed it in DST because griefing obviously. Now the most problematic character is Wurt/Webber because their entire gameplay revolves around monsters so they will mess up the base unless it's Webber-only or Wurt-only world.
On the contrary, having the option to play a combat character that doesnt need to focus on much else can be a nice change in pace. And assuming you know you can't rely on her perks as anyone else can be good training wheels. I learned combat by playing as her. The lifesteal helped me survive to fight more. Fighting more without needing to do anything else gave me the practice to know how to do it without relying on her healing perk.
It's a bit boggling to me that you ranked Woodie as low as you did, he can fit Abby's role in terms of spider farming with charge, he harvests super fast, barely behind Maxwell, and significantly faster with help from Warly, and the map exploration early with goose is absolutely insane.
Yeah I agree
Wigfrid is only 6/10 combat? You must be kidding. She deals more damage constantly, without any conditions unlike Wolfgang or Wendy (they need to met conditions), she have life/sanity steal which makes her really tanky AND she also have permanent damage reduction which actually stacks with armor making her even bulkier. On top of that, she have a constant supply of great early-mid game gear (battle spear, while being a bit costly, deals considerably more damage and battle helm is basically football helmet but cheaper and more durable) ensuring her safety even in a long trip. Not to mention her buffs that increase entire party's life/sanity steal. She is a goddamn monster able to kill any non-boss enemy, even a small pack of hounds, face-to-face without kiting and with minimal losses
I think he's trying to convince newer players to not get caught in the Wigfred playstyle trap, which is fair
@@senorchelestor2099 fair enough
yeah I mean she is kinda overturned compared to someone like Wes that has 75% utility on EVERYTHING, least hp, sanity and hunger meter in the game, not rewarding to play and only has a few gimmicks. Why even play Wes or Wilson or Wolfgang when you can get better at fighting, tanking, buffing whole team in combat, and all this with the only downside of eating meat only
@@st1lysh35 Wes exists for pros
+1
Don’t know if anyone said this but for willow, it’s good to have two bernies because it would be hard to pick him up to repair him if all the shadow creatures or enemies are on his body. So having two works a bit better.
Finally a KZheadr who appreciates Warly.
What? Who is shitting on Warly? They must not be very good players if you don't think his insane utility is good.
Warly needs an investment of time, so typically he won’t get the use of his kit, Wurt suffers from a similar problem
@@mark-jf5ik the thing I love most about Warly is that he improves the farther you get.
I would argue that Wolfgang's Utility should be lower. The argument that "He can kill stuff for your team" is clearly a Combat perk, not Utility (under that argument both Combat and Survival would be Utility, since being good at survival and combat both prosper your team). The fact that he consumes more food should make him at least bellow average in Utility, just saying.
combat and utility kinda go hand in hand. a beast that can destroy bosses is a valuable asset to any team. eating a lot of food is more of a survivability issue rather than a utility issue. that plus his increased sanity drain, i'd argue that he's a 4 or even 3 in terms of survivability (not counting combat).
@@keane6 True, then maybe Utility should just be everything that's not purely Combat/Survival. By that measure he would be just basic 5/10 in Utility.
I do agree! He seemed like a Wolfgang fanboy tbh
utility score is also from his speed I think
I agree, and i feel like if killing stuff for your team is utility, then Walter should be ranked higher for being able to one shot anything that gives small meat, turkeys, butterflies, and bees. Easy feather collection
I would say that Wickerbottom's survivability is at least a 6/10 because having all science machine recipes which can come in handy.
I need to say this... there is a lot of issues with this video. Wigfrid tanks a boss solo... combat 6/10 Winona has catapults which let you destroy bosses... combat 6/10. Meanwhile Warly just makes an item which boosts damage... and gets an 8/10? Meanwhile "Wart requires a lot of setup." is a downside... when you are talking about AT THEIR BEST. Even Walter's combat is bad... when he attacks at range negating his downsides? AT HIS BEST there are no problems and only upsides as you now skip the need to kite decently well against most enemies.
the Walter Wolfgang combo is honestly kinda nuts
He clearly hates wigfrid
im very late but the volt goat jelly can increase by 250% in wetness plus 33% with spice which is more than wolfgang, and if you wanna be a menace you can feed it to him wigfrid has high survivability because of damage reduction and leech but only does 25% more damage than a normal character and a slightly stronger spear which is why its only a bit higher than a normal character
Thank you so much for listing the details about each character. I'm playing dst on an on-and-off basis as life is too busy and hectic and with many updates for almost every month, i keep getting left behind. As always keep it up! Love your dst videos, very helpful and entertaining.
as someone who has always been bad at combat i love the option of fighting from afar that walter gives. i usually play with my partner who likes wigfrid, so while the attack from close up i attack from afar, and its also a great way to get meat for wigfrig since its super easy to kill birds/rabbits, and since i suck at fighting wobby's speed is great for running away lol. and tho he loses sanity easily he can tell camnpfire stories to raise everyones sanity, and as long as youre wearing armor the damage and sanity isnt that hard to deal with.
i feel like with woodie, some things were missed. firstly, the moose is very good at farming weak groups of mobs similar to abigail, when you use the charge attack as it will stun spiders, bees etc and they do basically no damage. secondly, the beaver is slightly worse at chopping trees than maxwell (and idk how youd compare it to wurt with a lot of merms) and gives you the option to either spawn lots of treeguards (with lucy) or spawn none at all (beaver). finally, the goose gives a very nice speed boost (albeit worse than magiluminescence + walking cane but still allows the backpack slot) and allows a round trip to the lunar island for 6 monster meat and 6 seeds which is pretty damn cheap
I know for sure, Woodie is much better than he made it out to be, I have a friend who always catches him, and moose is very much against Bosses too
Walter also has the ability to free kill treeguards, tentacle and deerclops with his sling shot as they are never in range of you. Also the ability to aggro koalaphants is also helpful.
19:48 WAAAAY better way of healing: tents! A couple servings of meatballs and a single use of the tent bring you up to FULL HEALTH! And getting food is SUPER easy, considering how easily he can farm, and even eat raw monster meat with zero real downsides! Tents are honestly just SUPER OP as Wormwood! Also, he manually tends to plants much faster than other characters, and can identify what a plant wants at a glance
i find it funny that they rated the combat character that can mass produce some of the best armor in the game a 6/10 for combat and utility
I usually play as Willow, but I tried out Webbie and Wortox. You get so attached to your character. I wish I could play Wortox better. He looks so cool when used well.
I just started playing a few days ago and I've only played Willow... lol she's so cute
Trying to branch out to wortox/one other character myself. I’ve beaten adventure mode on DS with Wigfrid, she’s clearly the easiest (for me) to play. Quite easy to survive the seasons and good for bosses.
thank you for this i just got into the game recently and have found my love for webber and thanks to you i know how to use more of his kit. thanks again!!!!!!!
This is a really comprehensive list of everybody!! Thank you for this.
I've never actually played this game before, but I did notice a very important piece of information that you seem to have neglected. That being Wolfgang's incredible mustache.
The entire video should have been about Wolfgang’s mustache tbh
Another tip for wormwood, woody, and wartox the siesta lean to is a type of tent that can only be used at day but makes up for it by using 4x less hunger than a tent. It nets you 8 hp and 4 sanity at the cost of 1 hunger every 4 seconds
Wow. This is a very well edited video. You give all the info we need VERY fast. at some point I had to close my eyes and just listen in order to follow your pace. This is top quality content. Bravo amigo
I've never played this game and I don't plan to either but I still watched the whole video because your way of telling this info is very good. nice video dude
I like the fact that everyone's names start with W, and only Maxwell - the one who sent everyone into this world, the name begins with M.
Fun lore. Maxwell is a stage name. His real name is William Carter... Another W lol
And of course, what do you get when you turn W upside down? An M
Naw it’s more like Mumbo Wombo
I heard in the files that his code is "Waxwell"
18:42 I feel that it's VERY important to mention tents as well. Through using a tent, he can spend 75 hunger to heal to full HP! And considering how many of his perks are good for getting food (like better farming, AOE damage abilities for killing spiders/hounds/bees/splumonkeys, and Lureplant/Sea Weed friendship), that 75 hunger is all the easier to acquire.
Woah, this is very informative!!! Thank you so much Jakeyosaurus :)
Haven't played DST in maybe 2 years (?) so seeing all these new characters is really pulling me back in. I always gravitate toward cooking and farming so Warly seems like a great fit for me to try!
Walter main here. The playstyle he requires definitely changes the metagame a bit, but I enjoy it! It forces you to come up with novel ways to kill things because "just tank these few hits and then go back to kiting" doesn't work when the "couple hits" make you instantly insane. Riding Woby and killing Eye of Terror entirely with the slingshot was a pretty good time 😅
I’d honestly put warly as the hardest character for beginners and would almost recommend wes over warly if they didn’t know the game. Warly truly is a difficult character to use, even for experienced players.
To me it just comes down to the variety of ingredients one has. After setting up a few farms you should be pretty fine.
glad to see theres updated tutorials
there is trick with setting up tentackle trap you set it up with grass walls but i found out cheaper method. you can just use tiled farmland to block tentacle spawn near you
That's a great tip
Actual big brain tip right here. Thanks man that saves so much more materials
Thanks
Haha, i can't get enough of th se character guides even though I've seen tons of them already. Quite a veteran here and a wendy main. I recommend her if you want to be a bit more daring as a beginner and be swarmed with monster meats and honey
Wormwood's easy sanity manipulation and access to living logs whenever puts him very high for me. Always has nightmare fuel and dark swords. Farming for the fuel can be really helpful for night armor too if you base near reeds. But I am baised since I am a wormwood main. (Dont forget about Honey Polutice)
I'm about to get back in the game I used to main wormwood but my friends are telling me he's low tier garbage how do I argue this? (They mostly only care about the healing stat and sanity drain when really you get 10 sanity back from planting meaning if anything it's a buff for nightmare fuel)
Survival guides? Just when I needed them! Gotta hit that bell
jake i had no idea you played this game, this is wonderful :D
Always enjoyed your videos, your DST videos are absolutely amazing, hope there's more to come :)
I think you should bump up wortox's utility after the wickerbottom rework as he can now teleport anywhere he's seen and have a free second soul hop for a short while after doing one
Great basic character info video. I look forward to more.
great video! you forgot to mention that wanda can use her "backtrek" watch to avoid charlie if timed correctly as its useful early game
I love Wanda as a character. Before she came out, I was collecting spools (From unravelling most daily gifts and the ones gotten by playing the actual game) for the WX-s winter set for the Carol Emote, but once she came out, I completely ditched that and spent next 5 or so months (I know, I was really unlucky with the drops), trying to get 2700 Spools, which I did... Only about a month ago. She is really challenging to master as there is no burst healing from food that you can get and the only healing source is your clock that requires marble, red gems, Nightmare Fuel and Thulecite to craft (In case you loose your original one or just want more healing, as not even actual healing sources like life give amulets work on her), but also so much fun to play with!
i used to think walter was a beginner friendly character but the whole sanity thing is kind of hard maybe that’s why i keep dying😂
my friends and i started playing a few days ago and my one friend picked walter and he was always at like 40 sanity or below lol
This madman only has 3 dst videos and is already my favorite dst youtuber
Good video, there were a few things I wasn't so sure about, but I can't blame you for not having an exact copy of all my opinions and overall, I pretty much agree. Especially the Wigfrid advice.
As a wigfrid main I don’t notice a ton of other wigs out there, though her playstle is quite different than the normal, but it rewards aggression. If you stop being aggressive and get too deep into other tasks without storing up meat you’ll fall behind the curve and need to catch back up. Solo wigfrid can be tough to base build/early game objectives, but when you have the freedom to do hunts and explore, you can really speed up other characters early game.
Woodie and Walter needs more credit. You can find Lunar Island, Crab King or Pearl's Island early in the game with Woodie. For Walter, he's a beast against Nightmares with his slingshot (you have to see it for yourself)
They really deserve more credit
Funny, not like nightmares are extremely hard to kill mob and u have to waste so many time killing with tat garbage dps slingshot smh

So in the very first character you missed the importance of Wilsons beard besides winter warmth- in that it makes it a lot easier to make effegies so you can resurrect if you die!
Great video!
I spent so much time scouring the internet for an up to date character guide/info thing and damn, thank you for this
I would add that playing as Wanda, I usually am able to sneak in lot more hits than I should when kiting particular mobs. The range, although not much, makes fights much more relaxed. I would probably get more dps out of her than Wolfgang unless tanking.
Webber deserves way more points across the board because spider armies help his combat, his god tier spider farms give him plenty of utility and his spider nurses help the entire teams survivability. It doesnt look like 5 hp a pop is much, but if it happens 10 times in a fight it can heal everything you take. As long you were wearing armor ofc
Loving these videos! Very genuine ranking and sensible tips compared to other strong opinionated gamers.
Really cool video, ty very much, hope I have a nice day)
As a wigfrid main i feel personally attacked. You are absolutley right, but i still feel attacked
I main her too and Jake is absolutely right, I don't play other characters cos I just love fighting in this game, and Wigfrid can fight well from day 1 haha
I am a wig player as well. Yes, you can tank but so can anyone else with the right equipment. The thing is I switched from Maxwell as a passive combat player to her. Plus the helmets on public servers is fantastic, since everyone has a tendency to destroy all pig houses.

When a grandma with a pocket watch does more damage than a man with a sword made out of nightmares that works out like 20 times a day
Here's me just getting in to the game... as Wigfrid. I'm joined by a few rl friends so I saw her as an asset to the team and it turns out more than I thought. I plan on playing other characters down the line but I've enjoyed playing the valk archetype in the past so its cool I get to do it here, I wasn't expecting that at all.
This was an excellent guide
God I'm 100% here for the dst guides it's harder to find good ones now a days
Old Wolfgang: emptying your fridge then killing the ancient guardian New Wolfgang: ok it’s like that but with less food
A note about wartox's teleport: he can also teleport anywhere on the map by clicking on a location! It will cost significantly more souls but it's crazy useful :)
Legendary timing for this video.
Wilson for the win
He is so borde it doesnt have nothing bad so its not a challenge
Im a proud wilson main
@@bacaxizin6089 you cant say you are a main cuz Wilson doesnt have a challenge or a difficulty
@@justgaming4fun19 i dont think this is a main definition
@@Quero_Dormir943 i dont think wilson can be mained
Holy hell this is an immense amount of effort and information! I've seen you around other small DST channels and it's great to see how much you like and support the game along with it's community. I look forward to more of your videos Jakey! ᴬˡˢᵒ ʷᵉᵇᵇᵉʳ ᵇᵉˢᵗ ᶜʰᵃʳᵃᶜᵗᵉʳ

Delete this comment, everyone knows that my character is the best.
@@toppler8164 no.
@@treesimp6686 fair enough.
Always a good video when jakey make a dont starve video
I just realized that Warly beats the game when he kills bee queen. That hat + the grim gallet means endless amounts of health. And also for the closing remarks, Warly beats both Wolfgang and Wanda with a crushing 3 times max modifier.
My favorite is Wigfrid but I’ve been trying to branch out. Tbh I kinda wish she went more into the tank and support aspect and less into the good at everything and rewarding face tanking. A block mechanic or something like that might be a good way to make her tanks without making easy but idk
Ahh I remember way back before Don't Starve Together, I was playing the OG Don't Starve. I played as Wilson, then Willow, Wendy and lastly Wolfgang. My best experience then was with Willow. Wendy for me felt like Wilson but with Abigail. Wolfgang was the worst experience for me because I end up starving. Years later I learned of Don't Starve Together and from there I was able to try Wigfrid. When I first played as her I almost immediately fell in love with her. Since then I'm a Wigfrid main. But I interchange between Wilson, Wigfrid, Willow and Wendy. With my friends though, I'm Wigfrid through and through because one time I played as Wilson we had a much harder time because my role as Wigfrid was the fighter, with me as Wilson, no one else filled that role. We were able to handle it in the first cycle but eventually I realized we really need someone like Wigfrid. All of us aren't really that good in the game as well so we don't have a lot of characters we're used to. I'm like the tank of the team. XD Our team consists of: Wigfrid, Winona, Wendy and Maxwell.
Nice video man
Good lord is this in depth, and top teir
This game seems soooo cool through your videos but it’s really tough on console
widgred supremacy; her healing song is so good when u have friends that want to kill a boss; gives her some really good utility. almost like a mini bat bat for wormwood as well. her "tank everything" style only works with set-up as well. (e.g. campfires to kill deerclops, dfly cage for dfly, etc.) another comment also mentioned wolfgangs similar problem with promoting this playstyle, and he doesnt provide anything to his team (pre-update) rude interlude is also a fantastic way to turn her tankiness into a cool part of her character, allowing her to take on mobs while allowing her team to heal her (wortox), deal damage (wally), or set up damage (winona)
you are the most pog champ youtuber ever!
waiting for the survival guides keep up the good work
16:25 I was a warly main but my friends said to change the character cause I was losing a LOT of time planting things for different foods and spices, at least it was very good seeing them do +100 damage and my wanda-main friend doing +170 damage
