Idea: Tying Gestalt Abi's Hp to Wendy's Sanity

[HowlVoid]

I think re-balancing Gestalt Abi to help Wendy deal with Bosses could go a long way in giving abi a focus in dealing with Wendy's main weakness. Wendy's main weakness is already somewhat removed by beefalos but this idea instead moves it closer to Wendy's kit. 

Simply put: Gestalt abi's hp would be replaced by Wendy's Sanity meter and damage calculations would be dealt as if wendy herself had taken damage (but damage goes to her sanity instead). So it accounts for whatever armor Wendy's has but no durability is lost. 

Then you would remove Gestalt Abi's damage for being easily healed with sanity foods and being generally immortal. I thought about just straight up making Gestalt Abigail immortal (and Gestalts are immortal) but at least this way there is some cost involved. 

Edit: Maybe just lowering Abi's damage would be enough to compensate for the tankyness. 

Then give Gestalt Abigail a hex aoe that she inflicts on enemies in her vicinity or a much faster "attack" rate to a single target that allows an enemy to always be hexed. 

Finally, enemies Abigail goes through in this form are given the fear status to give wendy some crowd control since abi is stuck this way for some time. 

Conclusion:

Wendy has some of the best sanity resistance in the game and she has perks to boost this also. I feel this idea re-tools Gestalt abi without taking way that this is two sister working together. Good idea or nah?

Ps. I wouldn't make this form of abi immortal as it essentially makes Wendy one character and is basically just a Wig that gives allies increased damage with no penalty. Also don't attack me if this is dumber than a pile of rocks I'm obviously not a wendy player and I'm just trying to help lmao

Wendy players need to obtain future heights that are difficult to operate, but still possess them, rather than understanding from the beginning that she is just a substitute, becoming an excessive process of turning to other powerful characters. I agree with the idea of exploring how to have fault tolerance and room for creativity in the increasingly dangerous later stages, rather than blindly supporting Wendy as a transitional product

I like that idea but it would need some strong nerfing to not bee too good.

Also Gestalt Abigail is only one small part of Wendy. This change would be interesting, but would leave the Shadow side even more (heh) overshadowed by the lunar counterpart.

I'd rather have base Abigail adjusted than being forced to pick Lunar side if I wish to use Abi post rifts.

 

I also suggest Planar Entity Protection for Abigail with Allegiance I and maybe let filled Sisturn prevent Abigail from dying and just downgrade her level and max health upon reaching 0 health points.
