Wendy Affinity Suggestion

[Helenar]

So there has been a lot of talk about the Wendy skill tree.

The thing I've seen most commonly is that people don't like Wendy being really weak to shadow creatures. 

I myself have no issue with it, as I think it's valuable for characters to have strengths and weaknesses, but Wendy being a beginner friendly character and shadows being a thing beginners struggle with, I get it.

So my proposition is to make gestalt abby able to target shadow creatures. It fit's thematically, and balance wise in my opinion.

Gestalt Abby is weaker against bosses, as she's not able to get full uptime on the damage increasing petals. So her being better for beginners for daily survival would be balanced out by weaker boss-abilities.

i'm not sure what tier gestalt is at but it would be interesting if abigail could fight shadow creatures... though i am not too sure if that is too overpowered since wendy already has a buff against night-time sanity-loss and her sanity is already quite decent

Wendy is unlikely to meet shadow creatures at the outset of the game;

Wendy is not the character who deals with bunches of shadow creatures;

if I remember correctly, you can have lunar affinity only when you beat celestial champion, which means you are no longer a beginner.

Overall, I don't consider it necessary for Abi to be able to attack shadow creatures.

Also, Abi constantly fighting shadow/nightmare creatures would be annoying. Loot on the ground+She's probably gonna get damaged. 

Also, if you're going with the lunar route, you're probably using lunar stuff not shadow stuff
