Give Wigfrid her deserved sailing skills


Recommended Posts

Since we are in ocean content era again and not much goes in this beta, I dare to ask crumbs for Wigfrid, like billionth time on forums

Out of all characters, Wigfrid who has tons of quotes on sailing stuff, fits thematic the best as viking warrior to be...
Has the least compatible with sailing abilities.

Battlesongs - ocean enemies have very small attack windows, run away a lot, making battlesongs even more useless than they are
Elding Spear - seriously, mobs who literally swim in water, aren't wet without rain? no place to dash too
More inspiration using spears - doesn't work on Strident Trident, unsure how much it was buffed but there's no reason for passive not to work
Beefalo - no explanation needed
Battle Rond - it... exists I guess, waste a few shields to tank Malbatross when Willow kills it from safe range with stack of embers
on topic of Malbatross, their theme is missing battlesong version for years 

Let her slowly gain inspiration for at least one battlesong when sailing, simple rowing power, ship building from start, or sea shanty song? 
Vikings are famous for their singing while sailing, how epic it can be
Not to make character stronger in unused by everyone ocean content, but enjoyable and fun
Just give her anything, please.

she isn't a real viking though, she could have trained her body to be stronger, but i doubt she would go out of her way to live like a viking and sail the seas just to train her imaginary persona, she probably doesn't know much about sailing

If she isn't real why she exists as character? She knows how to craft real arsenal but not simple boat

She was just an actress that was heavily invested into her role. Makes sense she can craft the spear and helmet, since she played as a viking in the theater a lot. You cannot sail in the theater, so she does not have experience.

Didn't know they craft Elding Spears and charge it with moon static in theaters now

She may just have been an actress in her imagination, but since in the constant actually people and items to gain supernatural skills (transformation curses, magic spell books, balloon amor, actual mighty strength etc.) It would seem only realistically to me that a viking actress gains actual viking skills.

I mean, Wendy can craft literal shadow swords or planar equipment. It's no different than that. Just using science/magic of the Constant.

Woodie already was transforming before entering the Constant.

Mighty strength was given to Wolfgang when he was saving Maxwell irl, not in the Constant.

 

But I guess Maxwell could have given her actual viking skills. I agree.

I forgot about those videos that showed the back-stories of Woodie and Wolfgang. But the point still stands, she may have aquired viking skills by magic (of the codex umbra then I suppose.)

lol, she can literally starve to death but refuse to eat vegetables, does that not count as going out of her way? =)

Fully agree
I've suggested some ideas for Wigfrid now and then, but never actually thought about sailing, which is kinda vikings' signature thing
(guess it's cuz in my head DST sailing is too tied to pirate theme and those wishes for unlockable Wonkey and a pirate monkey crew)

And it makes me think why Winona has zero things for boat too
