Returning player(s)...best co-op team now?


Recommended Posts

Hey there, I haven't played DST with my girlfriend since the first update with the island and boat thing. We've typically played as Wigfrid & Wickerbottom and had a good time. I know you can min/max more than that duo, but with all those updates in the past year or two, what are some great synergies with only 2 player co-op? Thanks!

All characters pair well with eachother.

Wendy & Webber is still kinda useless, except for them being friends and cute.
Wickerbottom & Wickerbottom is kinda useless, one is just enough to spam tentacles or birds.
There were few more, and usually problem is just about when is just overlapping in what characters are good, but not really increasing effectivity. Reworks are mostly mitigating that.

Webber's spiders fare better vs high single target enemies like the shadow knight or klaus, where abigail might struggle. They have more going on than being able to beat up spiders well (and honestly if that were their main use they'd be pretty mediocre characters given how cheap it is to use a beefalo to take out spiders). But yes, double-ups is where you tend to see the least synergy, mostly because of a high level of redundancy. A character has to have a non-sharable and also powerful ability for doubling up to make any sense. 99% of the time 2 different characters will perform much better simply by virtue of the fact that most benefits can be shared.

You wanna kill things and make the constant a 5 star buffet? Pick Wendy, Wigfrid or Wolfgang.

You wanna settle down and make a honest living for yourself? Pick Woodie, Wormwood or Wicker.

You wanna be able to experience the whole thing with minimal downsides? Pick Wilson, Willow, Wortox, Winona or WX.

Want to experience the constant canonically? Wes and Warly.

You wanna be Webber? Be Webber.

Maybe you can give us a bit more info on what playstyle you both like. Wigfrid and Wickerbottom still works regardless. The DLC characters are a lot of fun too.

As for min/max it depends a lot on what you want to accomplish, EG: it’s not the same for a duo to want to rush all bosses, or to build a nice stable base, or to multitask, etc.

Personally, and only according to MY most current playstyle, I’d go a team of beefalo Wendy and Wanda for a long-term game min/max.

Spoiler

Wendy post rework is a powerhouse on her own, can solo kill bee queen in the first few days with little preparation, has one of the most efficient AOE damages of the game, and when mounting an ornery beefalo she gets a large bonus damage with Abigail(+35% damage) . With a beefalo she also minimizes her damage con, mostly against shadow creatures. Producing large scale monster meat means most players with Wendy will not have many issues with early game food either.

Wanda has a huge damage boost against most things, specially bosses (compensating even further Wendy’s main con) and can eventually move across the whole map instantly, saving a lot of time for most tasks for the team. Wendy will make Wanda a lot safer against large groups of enemies too. 

 

remember that the portal is a thing so if you regret choosing a character or get tired of it you can swap to another without needing to reset the world

as others said, pick whatever you like. For example with a friend we are playing 2 wandas and we are having a lot of fun even if isnt the best or fancier combo

WX and Wx

 

trollface

 

but really depending on what you are doing there is many

wicker and wx 

wolfgang and warly

wigfrid an literally anything (webber is a good thought)

wortox and literally anything (wormwood is a good thought)

webber and wendy 

wendy and wendy, duh  

wes and

woodie and any gatherer (mainly another woodie)

same with maxwell

wurt, is different, she's basically useless until she has a king, which takes time to get. But once she has it basically another wurt is all good

walter and anyone, he sucks fighting alone, or at least till he gets a beefalo

wanda andddddd, I don't know I haven't done much of her, any other strong character I guess?

winona and a resource gatherer

wormwood and a wigfrid can be nice if you play your cards nice

willowwwwww

I don't know another willow for more bear? 

I think these would be nice, just think about them

 

Surprisingly, Warly and Wortox. 

Been playing with my friends, and it really ends up being quite fun, with Warly making 150 hunger dishes for Wortox (he gets 75 instead, which is a lot for his ever-starving face), while Wortox ends up with tons of random food items, butterflies, monster meat, morsels...

Warly can be healed by souls without penalty unlike food, and Wortox will help with hunting Koelafants with his soul hop.

The only problem is they both consume irrational amounts of food.

well lets see warly whit wolfgang seems like a good choice warly gives food boost whit spice and wolfgang kills even better

Warly with Wanda works abit better she does more damage and becomes more durable while giving Warly acess to fast travel for salt and such.

Webber doesn't really gain anything from a team up with anyone but resource characters since his spiders already out pace combat and support characters in most aspects.
