Should other characters be able to use the portasol?

[Cuernito.]

Short answer: No. But im still gonna argue why.

The catapults being used my everyone makes sense cause they are basic tecnology however the portasol is advanced tecnology and even winona without the proper perks is unable to use it, so it wouldnt make any sense that others characters can use the portasol but winona herself can not cause she doesnt have the founder's keeper 2.

I think she should be able to transport people with her but only under certain conditions: The characters can only transport with winona if they are above a teletransport station, this way winona can't troll people using the portasol to teletransport them to mordor without consent.

No. Not from me, anyway. At risk of rehashing that whole debate, catapults have a ton of history in the game which was the basis for much of that debate.

Winona clearly adds plenty of value to the team. There's no need for any of her other perks to usable by other survivors.

Instead of that, i want the lazy deserter to be buffed for solo use

Lazy deserter has a nice niche right now for group play. I say let it stay that way.

Would be nice though if shadow rifts could provide some sort of end game teleport option. Right now we have spark arcs from lunar side. Adding the equivalent to shadow side and introducing a teleport craft with it would be my ideal. Give it a sanity or life cost as well so that character perks are not overshadowed.

I think the telelocator focus should be cheaper instead. Like, consuming one gem when you use it instead of 3.
It would be much worse than the characters with specific teleports, but still good for surface solo, and quite affordable for late game.
For a multiplayer setting, lazy deserters would generally be better, but they could complement the telelocator if no self teleporting character is present:
EG: You use the staff and the gem first, to go where everyone needs to go, then summon everyone else to your position with the lazy.
