Share ideas about Maxwell's (eventual) rework!


Recommended Posts

I know that Wolfgang's rework has been announced to come next, but let's be real, is anyone really on the edge of their seats for Wolfgang to become even better? Personally I've been dying waiting for Maxwell's buffs and I know plenty more players are too! I made a post back before Webber's rework on the subject here and now I'm once again trying to stir up some discussions about whatever ideas you might have (to hold us over until it is announced)! What are you hoping to see in the future for Maxwell the Puppet-master?

I want him to be able to command when or when not to use his shadow clones to chop trees, mine rocks, dig stuff etc. Just like Wendy can rile up Abigail and pacify her. This is a MUCH needed feature.

An Ancient Codex Umbra version of his Codex Umbra. Can only be crafted in the ancient pseudoscience station. This will allow Maxwell to craft more advanced/better Shadow Minions, give them a gold or glistening outline to tell the difference between regular Shadow Minions vs Ancient Shadow Minions. These new Minions will be able to better chop down trees (taking less swings to down a tree and be faster at it), the same goes for the Miner Minion and also the Battle Minion will be able to kite and be more efficient at fighting and also able to wear head armor and body armor as well. The digger Minion can dig faster. 
 

This will make Maxwell my choice of character if implemented. I think it’s an awesome idea. 

well i think his shadow fighters sould get stronger like they have same as maxwell 75 hp wich you know is like nothing and so they die to pretty much anything in 1 or 2 hits and then there kiting is not even that good i think they sould have somewhat be stronger that they alsol have an shadow armor too not just the sword i think that way there is an better use for them alredy

they should have a "night armor" that drops maxwell's sanity when damaged or something

A pitchfork shadow clone needs to happen too! It will save tons of time on megabasing. 

That's a good idea, would be the most annoying thing of all time if there was no way to control what turfs it digs or when it digs at all lmao. I feel like setting that to "auto" would have the potential to become a low tier griefing method around the same level as a Webber plopping eggs down too close to base. It's cool but idk if it'd be worth it.

I say to hell with the shadow fighters! We already have enough characters with fighting followers: Wendy, Webber, Wurt and even Willow to a much lesser extent regarding Bernie. I really want them to be removed entirely and instead allow a craft-able "makeshift shadow throne" (built with high tier materials like shadow fuel or even thulecite) that Maxwell could sit on and then directly control a shadow proxy character himself. The body is still subject to damage and starvation and temperature but now no more idiot shadow fighter waking up a spider nest or attacking the mob you're just trying to freeze with an ice staff, or aggravating ALL of the shadow splumonkies in a 10 mile radius, you control it yourself. 

I would also really like the collector minions to be invincible / intangible to monsters. That really wouldn't be a big deal 99% of the time but would give Max a unique niche in fighting Lunar Spiders, Cave Spiders, Birchnut Treeguards, and Toadstool.

 

One more thought is that a few characters have character specific resources (mourning glory, souls) and specific meters (inspiration, age, form) and I haven't even considered that in regards to Maxwell. So many possibilities!

I dont like it

Just buff duelist xD

I just hope they let him summon a little more then just shadow clones of himself.. that’s literally All I want to see done with him.

As well as more control over shadows- as in being able to tell them WHEN to chop an entire forest down or stand idly by and maybe NOT chop down my Wintersfeast/Hallowed Nights/Summer Cawnival Trees?
