Love you all <3 thank you

[Coski25]

Thanks for the updates any chance for a Abigail speed boost so she can keep up with Wendy a bit better it could be tied to a skill like Blessed Sisturn 1 or 2.

Also an animation for mutating Abigail into a gestalt would be nice.

Can we get lowered cooldowns for commands on normal Abigail?

I've been testing this change and I think the 66% damage nerf is enough, I believe it shouldn't have a longer cooldown it doesn't feel great especially with the damage nerf.

Glad you asked. I just recorded a video of it in-game. Looks a lot better than before, makes the hits feel a lot more satisfying.

To be honest, this skill is not just for dealing damage; it's also a very convenient command for adjusting position during boss fights (especially against Celestial Champion and Ancient Guardian). Is it really a good idea to weaken its cooldown from 4 seconds to 10 seconds now?

It just does this whenever you target an area with multiple enemies. Unsure if intended or not but it's hilarious so I'm all for it.

It should be intended, "strike a series of targets until she reaches the selected destination"

I almost choked laughing at this 
not sure how this would affect normal gameplay, I simulated different, yet normal amount of stuff and it worked great.

also, for those who might think this is TOO STRONG: even at night time, it gets weaker and weaker after each hit, like how a bullet penetrates multiple layers.
Considering night time damage: after 4 hits, it does about 32, then 21, 14, 9, 6, 4, 2 and lastly 1 damage or less after 11 hits. Averaging 40 damage.
And if you notice in the video, after some point it does 0 damage.
It still cannot overcome hoards of mobs easily like normal Abigail and it fits the Gestalt Abigail, where instead of all the AoE damage, it does them in diminishing single hits. Plus it has longer cooldown.
and this odd pathing doesn't happen so easily. At night time this would've been able to kill only 2 spiders.

Where does the "too strong" thing come from? I see it quoted a lot.

[Fufuji]

Is this an intended nerf for Abi's DPS against bosses?

It's an irony. Abigail is weak when fighting with boss. For example, Armored bearger can kill Abigail in a few seconds because of AOE damage. Wanting to control Abigail? That's too hard as Abigail is controlled by computer most of the time.

For context, she was capable of soloing dragonfly without taking hits when the form was first added. All Wendy had to do was run around in circles on a beefalo, ordering Abi to hide on occasion.

Lubby was initially designed as a single-target specialist, where the "attack at" command served as a critical positioning tool for lubby during boss fights. The cooldown extension has now paradoxically incentivized shadow abby as my default boss-fighting choice – this contradictory outcome between design intent and balance adjustments feels deeply dissonant.

[viblym]

Hi, I'm not reading the other comments and I'm not affiliated with the other comments, here's my isolated opinion about the Gestalt Abigail charge change: The charge cooldown is wayy too long. Regular Abigail's command cooldown already feels too long. I feel like both of them should be shortened. Not by much for sure, but shave off a few please

(Super happy to have it back though all things considered)
