Amazing

[Reiko24]

Aside from some pure "just increase stat" skills, there are TONS of new, interesting mechanics.

To be honest, it might be the best skilltree update to date.

 

Yeah, some skills are lackluster, but that's what beta is for, and most of the skills are amazing.

 

My takes for now:

After you dig up a gravestone, you should be able to "carry" it, not pick it up. Let it be like the marble pieces or statues. Relocating so many graves will make them extremely powerful for farms, so this bit of balance would be nice.

 

Walter ammo is... weird. I know it's not finished, but what's the point of dreadstone rounds being so weak? 

It should have a special effect, like spawning some shadow inklings that attacked werepig to hit the enemy once.

 

Honey slow round is... alright, but we also have purple gem slow??? We need a revisit to the old ammo types.

I really like "just increase stat" skills personally but over all, especially for Wendy, nothing seems too egregious (in terms of balance) compared to Willow and Wigfrid. Well besides the flower armor, that's a little busted. These don't feel like a character re-refresh which I greatly appreciate. Willow, Wigfrid, Woodie, and Winona felt like the re-refresh. (and Wormwood/Wurt to a lesser extent.) I prefer base character changes not be locked behind a point based unlock system and just given to the character baseline while the choice unlocking with skill trees fit more for boons. I dislike that Walter has 6 points dedicated to new craftables but given the impact of these new pellets I can hand waive it more so than Willow's entire new spell casting system that is entirely locked behind skills.

I dislike skillsets in general as I've said time and time agian but over all this is my favorite batch, eeking over the first round of skills. (maybe Wilson will get proper justice and get an actual refresh instead of it just being the introduction of skillsets)

Idk, i think this is the first time klei couldn't put more to the table than the last skilltree update. Unlike Winona's and Willow's skilltrees,(Which felt more like a rework) these ones remind me the skilltrees wo got in the first skilltree spotlight update.( Not that i'm complaing, I don't even play these characters)

Feels kind of weird to relocate a grave. Tombstone, corpse and dirt all at once, jesus. I agree with your idea moving a tombstone should be some heavy duty if that’s what we will get. I’d still prefer if we could just create and destroy graves and not move them around.

Funny thing they stack and slowdown is mega strong, but yeah, we probably don't need purple gem rounds

I agree gravestones should be heavy

I think the choice to give wendy a new gameplay loop of caring for a graveyard to get Evil Petals is  very nice. It's in character, has unique interactions, while also fixing one of her core issues of having trouble farming NF due to her sanity Perk and being unable to sic abigail on Nightmares.

The alignment skills are great too, although the Shadow Burst could use a rework, but the shadow Potion & Lunar Gesalt are creative and useful.

Vengful ghost, the abigail commands and the sisturn Perks are are all worthwhile too.

They were just

So

Incredibly

Overzelous

In not making the tree too strong.
