Soooo... What is the point of Webber if Wurt is so much superior?


Recommended Posts

Merms are smarter, Merms are stronger, Merms are cheaper to hire, Merms can chop wood, Merms can mine rocks, Merms dont steal food, Merm king can give treasures and stats.

What are spiders good for? Switcherdoodles are extremely expensive, for the most types of spooders. Spiders are extremely weak and fragile. Very unreliable.

The only Wurt downside is a setup requirement, but its so much worth it.

Most spooders are useless in a normal "playthrough"

Nurses are cheap af if you start civil wars

Just a worse pig king

I agree that the characters are too similar

the characters aren't very similar in many aspects even before the mini rework wurt was better than webber, but spiders are better at fighting than merms but also rushing without spiders can sometimes be faster

Playing Webber means you don't have to play the worst designed character in the game

why must you just start arguments for no reason on a topic that has nothing to do with that

They're two competely different characters that fulfil different roles. Just because they can both tame large groups of adds doesn't make them comparable. An example of their differences in this instance: Spiders are more "throw it a wall" style minions. Easy to amass and easy to dispose (sans the warrior-style spiders and medics) Good for killing and good for gathering big meat, glands and silk via civil wars. Whereas Merms are more of a specalist unit, better sutied for harvesting big forests and quarries/marble trees for little-to-no cost, and fighting bosses such as Bee Queen.

Besides that, their other passives couldn't be any more different, and are both more then well deserving to exist.

And please, dont let this thread devolve into bad faith arguments.

One is a human boy fused with giant spider being into one,

the other is OCEEEAN MAAN 

I mean, they sure have familliar gameplay but they also have little diffrences too, so gameplay is not copycat of one another. Like Wurts veggie diet only, Webbers no sanity debuff from eating raw meat and also possability to sleep in spider den.

Its not always about army control.

 I believe its the little things that creates unique gameplay and characters persona

Im actually pretty sure that he does get sanity penalty from eating regular raw meat, apparently monster meat is less gross to eat

No he dosnt. In one of his rework hotfixes Klei removed sanity penalty from eating all kinds of raw meat

Befriend Nurse Spiders, trick them into fighting each other.. Free Inifinity healing for Webber- pick up the spider that’s being attacked when fully healed: rinse repeat when needed.

Wurt and Webber aren’t even close to being even the same TYPE of Character..

They both have different uses at all stages of the game, if you play them both exactly the same then you are probably wasting potential.

Webber scales in power super fast in the game, is a much better nomad character and becomes super tanky and a supreme meat processing factory, but lacks special wood/stone gathering skills before bearger. His late game will most likely be a super tanky webber (nurses) assisted with spitters for some extra DPS. Spiders can and will die often, they are disposable.

Wurt is a builder character, needs to tend more to build a base, farming, etc, scales in power slowly and requires a lot of grinding to reach the full potential, but she becomes somewhat stronger than webber in the late game. She becomes a wood and stone/flint company before and independently of bearger, allowing you to plan your building and projects more freely. Her army is semi permanent as even if they die, they quickly Respawn for more and unlike webbe, they require no extra grinding to hire them again.

Both caracters actually complement eachother and can synergize well.
