Wendy should have a unique resurrection perk.

[WenericMember]

With Wanda, and now Wigfrid, Wortox and Winona getting some sort of Perk to make resurrection more convenient, it strikes me as odd Wendy didn't get one. Wendy is not only a character who is defined by death, but is actively interested in finding a way to revive Abigail (her inspection quotes for a second chance watch and twintailed heart).

On top of that, while escaping from the constant progressed in Don't Starve Together, a lot of the survivor's individual goals that they initially came to the constant for, haven't with rare exceptions such as Woodies mastery over his wereforms. Even if Wendy couldn't manage this by herself, almost all the other survivors have expressed a desire to help her bring back Abigail.

So, for one of Wendy's new skills, I suggest giving her  a unique revival method, such as an upgraded touchstone, or something else. Give anyone revived by it a mechanic similar to Abigail's shield for a certain number of hits, or some other perk like a speed boost for a duration after revival.

Have her description for it be something like "it's a work in progress" or "It's not ready for Abigail yet" to show that while she can't revive Abigail, she is actively working on it and making progress, showing her will and determination. Similarly to Winona's shadow seeker skills, which shows that Winona is still trying to find Charlie and making progress, even if it doesn't result in them meeting as she wants.

Preferably, have it craftable using mourning glory, just to give it additional uses aside from potions.

I have a suggestion for this, but brace with me it’s going to get weird.. 

Wendy can move existing tombstones and create her own tombstones, but what does this actually do besides maybe relocating grave loot Or allowing easier locating of Pipspook?

it seems to be a set of skills added to her skill tree focused entirely on base building.. 

But Wendy is the character who actually deep studied spiritual rituals, ouija boards, and has an entire crafting tab dedicated to Ectoherbology potions or Ghostly Elixirs.. she’s taken part in Sayonce Table gatherings.

I think it would be a unique interaction between Wendy and her graves if she had something similar to Walter and his highly annoying Campfire Stories…

Aka:- She sits at a little Gypsy table thing near a grave chanting a ritual for a few seconds which will channel a dead players ghost to her location.

Honestly the more Klei showed off on the stream the more I felt like WORTOXS abilities should belong to Wendy…

The Decoy just seems like a thing Abby should had been able to do, and the revival stuff yeah..

But if they relocated that stuff from Wortox onto Wendy, they’d have to go back to the drawing board and give Wortox something different when Wendy rips his gimmicks.

Still though- Those two in particular feel more fitting of Wendy then the devilish naughty/nice Imp.

The seance idea is cool, but it'd probably be only useful in MP, which thye probably want to avoid.

Maybe it could summon pipspooks aswell?

I'm personally against making Wendy even more stronger than she is BUT, having her own resurrection perk could just be cool lol. Let her make her own grave and decorate it and when she dies it works as a Meat effigy sending her back to her grave where she climbs out the grave, dazed and with halved states (not max capped).

A grave could work, but I'd like it to have some sort of flowery aesthetic.

I'd say it has to have some perk over the regular revival items, especially as it'll be a stationary object, unlike the heart and other survivors revival perks. Wanda's has reusability, wortox has increased revival stats & teleporting allies, Wigfrid has reusability and AOE, Winona's takes you to a safe space and doesn't count as a death.

If Wendy uses the grave, it should give something like a speed boost for a duration, reduced aggro distance, etc

She cant even revive her dead sister xD

I mean yeah that's kind of my point. The idea of the perk is "while shes working on a way to revive abigail, she's found a method that useful for the other survivors."

I just wanted to make the joke. Not against the idea

Oh lol. mb.

It is kind of comical how there's probably about a dozen different methods of ressurecting a player, and none of them work on Abigail.

TBH the concept got stuck in my head because her inspect quotes for the revival items have gone from (With the second chance watch):

To (Twintailed Heart):

Like, that's just depressing. Give her some hope Klei, Please.

I had no idea that was one of her voice lines well now I'm just sad lol

That sounds like the opening scene of PVZ, a very interesting idea.

It got added in this beta.

I thought, "Oh, a new Revival Item, I wonder what inspection quote Wendy will have after Wandas!"

And then I just felt sad.

That's kinda why I hope they just add something that says "oh progress is being made, albeit very slowly"

Some kind of new creating uses Telltale Heart as mat, or life giving amulet. 

Or new interaction with Abigail, buff or new in-between form. (We even have the whole Abigail skin already)

Yeah, just something to show progress.

Kinda like Winona's shadow seeker perks - it shows shes still working on finding Charlie, even if it doesn't resolve the plot thread.

This can be achieved at a very high cost
