Make Bernie usable when enlightened


Recommended Posts

I've recently been playing Willow during the beta and something I found is that bernie is pretty much useless during the moonstorm/champion(lunacy in general), which I found to be really saddening since one of her main perks is essentially stripped away from her, Imagine if other characters got a main perk of theirs just stripped away by simply going in the moonstorm/lunar islands.

A simple fix would be to allow Bernie to go big when enlightened and Gestalts will target him. 

As far as I'm concerned bernie grows probably due to nightmare fuel.

Wigfrid didn't get anything durring the farming rework update. Willow might as well 'suffer' in this update. After all given Champion's aoe attacks bernie would be pretty useless anyway

Crops still have some uses for Wigfrid, and even if she can't use them for eating, her main perks are still there for players to happily use(Hp/sanity gain when attacking, songs, battle armor and weapons)

Bernie is literally stripped away from Willow and can do nothing except provide a little bit of sanity and insulation in moon storm/lunar islands, and besides bernie, what else does she have? Shes just wilson with fire immunity and some small perks(stronger defense against overheating, faster extinguishing, etc)

Wigfrid isn't required to farm, nor does the existence of farming hurt her in any way. She can actually still benefit by getting ingredients for specific recipes, such as Veggie Burger.

Enlightenment extends way past the Champion. The entire set of lunar islands, the lunar grotto, the moonstorm and Alter's full moons are all cases where Willow's completely unable to use Bernie. I think it's pretty lame for a main character perk to be taken away completely in these scenarios. It's as if Wendy lost Abigail completely in these scenarios because her flower "probably works due to nightmare fuel" (which would have more evidence than bernie growing due to nightmare fuel, considering Wendy has quotes that literally say she can't see Abigail as well under the effects of the moon)

Bernie may or may not function due to 'nightmare fuel', but there's no question that he functions due to insanity. It would feel incredibly odd to have Bernie active [in the same way] due to the polar opposite effect imo.

That said, it could be fun if he was given an alternative use while enlightened—what that use may be I don't know , but I don't think it should reflect his 'insanity use' one for one. If you wanted to play opposites then maybe instead of aggroing he would repel Gestalts instead. Shrug.

is fair to ask for it but i dont know if is because something related to lore or klei just forget it

at the end, bernie grows because she is insane and being enlightened could cause insanity (just see the character faces at 100% elightened) or maybe bernie grows in presence of nightmere fuel but i dont see bernie growing near fissures

Isn't low enlightenment basically low sanity? Are the characters not insane but in a weird way protected from nightmares due to gestalts fending them off?

This should be more of a "bonus" perk imo. Where Willow is stronger in the presence of low enlightenment because she is both normal and has BERNIE!

An enlightened Bernie, giant and floating around in lotus position would be both funny and great. It could not fight but glow, and repel Gestalts instead as you suggested.

This is so silly, and that makes it absolutely perfect for DST :lol:
