Changes
Added scrapbook entries for new content.

Wortox

• Knabsack's action has been removed from the action key, this is the space bar by default on PC.
  • This may be added in as an option in controls later if it is wanted.
• Future thoughts
  • Controller functionality from consoles is being transferred to PC.
    • Controller support is being investigated for Soul Hops and other reticles once this is done.
  • Some missing VFX and animations are pending for later.
  • Skill tree tightness for builds is being tested internally to see if there is a way to relax it without making the tree too free form.
  • Knabsack being an alternative to a Bug Net has potential.

Wendy

• Butterfly cost lowered to 2 Mourning Glory.
• Increased the sanity gain from the Wraith's Wreath.
• Shadow Abigail’s extra damage due to the Murder action becomes Planar Damage.
• Gestalt Abigail’s damage increased some.
• Elixir changes:
  • Luminous Wrath’s damage increased
  • Revenant Restorative’s player use duration decreased to 20 seconds.
  • Spectral Cure-All’s player use duration increased to 20 seconds.
  • Vigor Mortis’s player use also works on spider creep and bee queen honey.
• Grave Beautification Skill and Grave Relocation skills have merged.
• Team Spirit III and Team Spirit IV skills have merged.
• Blessed Sisturn 3 and 4 collapsed into just one skill that has changed.
  • It no longer buffs Abigail’s health past maximum over time.
  • Now if you fill it with Lune Tree Blossoms, Abigail is treated as a player for damage from bosses.

Walter

• Updated Scrappier Slingshot Frame recipe to use Elastispacer instead of loose ingredients, and added a proper set of loot for using Deconstruction Staff on it.
• Reduced overall frequency of hit stuns from projectile attacks.
• Woby badge changes:
  • Fetching badge: Woby will no longer filter out some items, like other pick up tools do. Increased Fetching II cooldown reduction.
  • Support badge: increased sanity loss resistance when taking damage.
• What’s next for Walter?
  • Now that ranged combat is in a decent place, we will focus on expanding other parts of the skill tree.  Some things we may be looking at:
    • QoL improvements.
    • More utility for Woby.
    • Scout/camping related skills.
    • Sanity management.

Is there any chance the lunar path will get another look? It feels like there is currently no value in that path...

Haha yeah thats a crazy, crazy buff.

I'll probably start doing a playthrough feedback thread on Wendy next. I was doing big Wortox ones, but sounds like he's getting more next hotfix so I'll save my energy for him until then.

I don't play Wendy a ton, so will see how I do. I figure she actually needs more feedback, as I have increasing doubts the people complaining about her the most are actually playing the beta. Or maybe they are, but they refuse to use elixers. I'm not sure.

No solution for Team Spirit I, I see.

Team Spirit IV got merged, but nothing was done to make it feel better to use.

Yhey saod theyre still considering it in the wendy poll, so thats something at least

good
not sure why one wants to use action for that but options i guess allways nice
future thoughts
i dont understand what that means the controller functionality
i mean i dont use mouse and keyboard so cant realy know anything
hmm...animations...this could not be what i suggested be new idle animations for nice/nauhgty wortox is it?
oh thanks for lookin into the skill tree tightness here what i suggested again, either locks only needing 3 skills from a side and/or neutral alsol workin towards the locks
YES, BUGNET KNABSACK!!!

What else is there to complain about Wendy?

[Nikki Darks]

After all these years of maining Willow due to Wendy being uber boring in comparison to her after she got all her phenomenal changes..... I am returning to my roots.

This Wendy skill tree is phenomenal, and even though I was opposed to Abigail taking player damage (for obvious game breaking reasons), this is a very, VERY cool way of implementing it!

Phenomenal work Klei, cannot wait for this update to drop.

My only complaining, albeit more of a suggestion is that Wendy's Picnic Casket functions as a fridge for her Wraith Wreathes!

Id like the perennial altar to have something different to the effigy. I think graves has a lot of unexplored creative potential thay could fill a tier 3 skill too.

Thays splitting hairs though, and Id be fine if it gets released with some team spirit +flower crown changes.

Maybe when a person revives with her little effigy, they leave behind a fresh grave upon revival?

Uh i don't really understand what it means. Can someone explain?

Maybe, but that could easily become a downside, filling the world with excess graves. I think the most common keep inventory when attuned is the best answe.r.

Hi, I'm glad to see the hotfix released so quickly—sooner than I expected!

I really appreciate these updates:

• Now if you fill it with Lune Tree Blossoms, Abigail is treated as a player for damage from bosses.
• Shadow Abigail's extra damage due to the Murder action becomes Planar Damage.
• Butterfly cost lowered to 2 Mourning Glory.

These changes feel more balanced, and it's encouraging to see feedback being heard and implemented.

Wishing everyone a wonderful winter holiday, a Happy New Year, and a Merry Christmas.

Cheers!

I've made big posts about this, and it gets touched on a lot. Summary: the pressure of the inclinations + locks + affinity skill mean that there's not a lot of variety in effective builds.

Abigail becomes a Player in boss fight.

Does it mean she can be healed by Wortox or Wigfrid besides the -50% damage taken?

No. It's just for purposes of calculating damage from an attack.

No, presently a lot of bosses deals double damage to bosses to limit how effective minion builds can be. Abigail is normall counted as a minion, which makes her take like 200 damage from some attacks. The skill removes that tag.
