whatcha think about Wurt

[SapoLover]

She's cute, and that's all she needs to be.

[Horsheen]

My favourite character

She's not for everyone, but I like her gameplay a bunch because it's a slower style of play

[ShadowDuelist]

I think it's a cool character, specially since the latest changes which took her away from the really bad state she was left after her debut. She's a good addition to any team as a harvester. The free swamp merms are pretty cheap for wood and stone gathering in the first days, then she can build at least 3 of her own and continue anywhere. Later on, her army is cool to farm bee queen and dragonfly, while also taking away any danger from hound waves.
Her merms could perhaps automate some tasks more and make her a bit more complex, but for what she is, she's pretty solid. 

Personally she doesn't fit my playstyle in the long run, I have tried and I tend to get bored past 100 days, I think it's more fitting to chill builders type of players and I'm more of an adventurer (I don't spend much time in the same place ). But I appreciate the good merm players on any team.

I dunno. On the first glance I can't remember any situation which involved a need for slowing fish spoilage without tin fishin' bin or bundle/gift wraps. 

in late game its useful if you example: use the sunfish instead of thermal stone

I hate when people compare merms to pigs, yes they work exactly the same, but so far I've never seen anyone use pigs the way she uses merms and makes them a crucial part of her gameplay. Complaints about the time it takes for her to theoretically start to get really strong is pretty exaggerated, I can easily make enough merm houses to kill the queen bee and Dragonfly by the first spring, but if you stop playing after autumn I believe that not even Wanda can be an interesting character if so.

If gathering wood, living logs, making idle farms, wars for fish and frog legs, hound defenses and obliterating hard bosses for basically no risk and no futher cost is not helpful because she doesn't have a direct cliché suport ability there's no way i can convince you anyway then.

I think wurt is one of the best characters in the game, and she's really fun and very adorable

[LitulLola]

She's super cute and gives players a different way to play the game

Wurt's main gimmick of actively making more of the putrid, useless abominations goes directly against my playstyle.

This entire post is so good (and funny, and insightful) And I am someone who respects the power Wurt has.

The seasonal fish perk is so incredible that I spend 5-6 days total fishing during the first Summer and Winter to try and get 4+ each of Ice Bream and Sunfish, regardless of character.

I also think Wurt being able to make such high quality followers is so strong. Her wetness perk and frog neutrality are also nice.

But you are right; Merms are kind of ugly.

(also i like her quotes).

Far from the best option for public servers, over 4 hours of prep time for these 2 bosses only reinforces that she takes time to get really strong, so is it really an exaggeration?

Oh god, just play Wolfgang then.

What other bosses besides these exist on the surface? Do you really think that a minion that can destroy these bosses in seconds can't handle the rest that don't have half damage/health? They are good enough to last until the third phase of Celestial Champion, and can kill Klaus with some fossils.
What I mean is that they are not something you will only see in the 3rd year of the world, and NOTHING stops you from killing everything normally, Wurt has standard stats, standard damage, nothing prevents you from doing these bosses on day 10 in the standard way. The merms only remove ALL the cost and dangers of these fights after they are done, and of course bosses like Bee Queen and Dragonfly are great to do multiple times. No need to bring healing food anymore, no need to spend more resources on weapons and armor. SPRING IS NOT LATE GAME.

Well for one: Wurt has “strong grip” which prevents her weapons and tools from slipping out her hands or being blown out her hands during Bearger Growl/Moose Goose Honks.

What this means is that Wurt doesn’t actually NEED an Eyebrella and it can go to someone who actually might “Die” without rain protective gear like WX78.

At the exact same time- WX78 can have free infinity night vision so they can avoid wearing Moggles/Miners hat and can instead wear head armor or clever disguises.

WURT can practically live down in caves with as little as a top hat and a pet fish with no negative sanity drain whatsoever, and yes StarSky counts as a “Pet Fish”

Which make a Wurt+WX78 team synchronize incredibly well together because both can live in caves working together.

In addition to that- Wurts also adorable.

I feel like wurt is by far the least fun character. Doesn't really offer anything unique, since base building and minion coralling is something almost every other character can do. Would rather use another character with pigs/ rock lobsters for the wurt experience.

Veggie mode is a cool downside tho, but I feel like the increased hunger gain makes that pointless.

Why would you even kill bosses in public servers

Ok let's look at this part that "every other character can do", pigs are racist, work only during day, can only fight and chop trees.Bunnymen are racist+vegan, can only attack.Rock lobsters, very slow and can't be brought to the surface (so useful only for 3 bosses). Merms work any time, aren't racist work, can chop trees, mine stone and be used in fights, need very small amount of food to get a large group of them, have high damage and immunue to bee queen's scream.

Because it's a survival sandbox?

Yeah buy Wurt is long term character, playing as her in pubs isn't a best idea, especially for killing bosses

What do you mean? I'm just saying that this amount of prep time is quite a long one and not necessarily an exaggeration by others

She is quite capable of killing bosses in pubs

Tbf you can get the prep done by autumn if your determined to and this is before considering how much faster it'd be if people actually helped.

Or just hire what the game already gives you, it's plenty enough

Your not wrong but that more or less invalidates most if not all characters.

The game gives you more than enough resources to approach nearly any problem character perks aren't really needed.

Yes, but what you said doesn't really change that building merms is time consuming
