More character exclusive weapons

[Papa Scorch]

I feel as though every character in the game should have some sort of unique weapon that they get to themselves that fits their character, is hard to craft, and works smoothly with their upsides and downsides. Wanda's alarming clock is a perfect example of this. It's rewarding, cool, unique, and uses her up and downsides to its advantage to make her feel that much more of a completed character. Now im not saying this is needed. Hell you guys might hate these ideas, but i love throwing these things out there. (Also please tell me if you have any ideas. Im all ears!)

Wilson: He's kinda basic. Maybe he could get some flasks that he could throw at enemies or onto himself to give certain buffs or nerfs. They would be simple, straightforwards, and would keep him as the simple easy to understand character.

Willow: I was thinking that willow could get a whip kind of like the tail o three cats that she could use to outrange the enemies. It would do good damage, and I think it should also do a new kind of fire damage that periodically hurts the enemy, but does not spread. You would need a dragonfly scale to make it though, so it would not be easy to get.

Wolfgang: Ok here's the thing about Wolfgang. He already turns any weapon into some kind of god tier power weapon. But it's still a neat thought to give him one of those giant wooden hammers that you would see in an arcade or something like that. Just for fun.

Wendy: I feel as though Abagail is enough for Wendy. Maybe she could make something that let her control Abagail a lot better. You could trace a direction for Abagail to go or something like that. It would probably involve that morning glory.

Wx: I feel like he should be able to craft a robotic arm sword thingy that he can put onto his circuit board. It would use 3 slots, and he could use another tool at the same time as it. It would be a strong melee weapon. (Also WX needs a real downside)

Wickerbottom: She has her bee minions. She's fine. Maybe a book that summons meteors or something like that, but she is really good right now,

Woodie: His were transformations should each have a special and unique way of fighting. His goose form runs really fast, does like 50 damage, and can do everything that it normally did. His beaver form could do extra damage to treeguards. It would have a secondary attack where he would slam the ground with his tail to do extra damage and stun the enemy for a second. It would have a cooldown though. His moose just needs to be faster. It should do more damage as well and should really be see as the unstoppable force. Maybe he could also make an attachment for lucy that lets her do more damage.

Wes: A really bad baloon sword that does like 20 damage, but only takes his pile of balloons and some sanity to craft.

Maxwell: Maybe he could use some sanity to summon a shadow hand that slaps the enemy one time or something like that.

Wigfrid: An upgrade to her battle spear that does a bit more damage and raises her inspiration faster.

Webber: A whip that he slashes at a certain enemy. All his following spiders will then immediately  attack whatever he whipped.

Winowna: Maybe she could have a version of the pew-matic horn, except it would fire a mini cannonball that she could make with rocks and duc tape. It would need fuel to work.

Warly: He could cook in his crockpot with a jerky, fish, volt goat horn, and stick to make a better version of the ham bat. It would spoil way slower, could be stored in salt boxes, and Warly would have an increased chance of getting rare drops from enemies such as butter from butterflies or volt goat horns from volt goats.

Wortox: I think wortox could break off his horn and use it as a weapon or something like that. He could use less souls when teleporting while holding it.

Wormwood: He should be able to talk to massive crops to create massive crop soldiers that would fight for him and do different things depending on what crop he uses.

Wurt: Maybe an upgraded tentacle spike that would have some extra range to it. I have never played wurt, so i dont really know.

Walter: Already has his slingshot. I dont need to speak further. 

Wanda: Already has her alarming clock.

That's it. Let's see what you guys think about this.

I disagree. The combat character niche is something that already is kind of meh and combat characters are constantly being bloated. Not every character needs to have a combat ability added onto them.

[Yuuko]

 I think for Wanda it was a good idea b/c her glass-cannon nature needed a specialized tool for her to work, and to differentiate her from Wolfgang who shares a similar damage cap.

IF they want to add fire damage to Willow's kit I could see her getting something too.

BUT for most of the cast the current weapons are good.

if you do this then all the regular tier spear/bats/spikes will become redundant

Well many of these weapons would be much harder to make than the basic weapons. Just like Wanda.

Yeah, I see what you mean. Still would like to see how this ends up doing.

I think this whole section is kinda stupid but I think it’s funny that you suggested that the werebeaver should do more dmg to treeguards… considering it already does more damage to treeguards lmfao

To be fair, who uses the beaver to fight treeguards? The moose is almost strictly superior.

it had some use before his refresh, but now that werebeaver can't spawn treeguards you'd have to literally go out of your way to fight a them as one.

so yeah, not too surprising that some people aren't aware of this little perk, especially considering how little people actually played as dst Woodie before his rework (still kinda miss him)

Yeah I don't have much memory of Woodie before the rework, but I can imagine the use cases for beaver against treeguards when you're deforesting. Very sad how underpowered the LITERAL BEAVER is against an enemy made of wood

Yeah fair enough still funny tho

To be honest, I can't see this being applied to the game itself, but maybe in some kind of continuation of forge.

Beaver already deals more damage to treeguards but he won't outdamage moose. Beaver can't summon treeguard so only situation to see it is when chopping as human woodie  and that means you for some reason choose to transform into beaver to kill treeguard while moose is better choice.  

I've once suggested woodie to be able to use idols as fuels for... well for 3 meters and to transform fluidly between 3 forms at will where fighting as beaver restores sanity, moose is unchanged, transforming into good from other forms acts as dodge with initial dash. It could be inputed like wortox teleport so you can easily choose directions to dodge. Beaver would allow you to not have to stop fighting due to sanity, goose being a fancy would make up for moose speed and once you need a heal you go back to human woodie form since you can transform at will.  

This is not nowhere near OP if you consider character as wolfgang or wanda balanced. AND this would live up to what we got on woodie's animated short

About beaver sanity. Instead of while fighting he could just eat logs from his inventory for sanity. But he would still be unable to access other items. 

If it was like this then maybe just 1 idol for 1 meter existing would be better.

that's certainly an interesting take on Woodie, could be really interesting to play around with.

Combat update that would affect everyone would be gud

What's wrong with liking a character, bottom line?
Woodie could use some improvements of course but he's plenty fun as is.

This is a videogame, it's not about being the best at something that will define your future/career, it's about having fun.
