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.

要你这个样子，岩浆虫没法打，龙蝇暴怒没法处理，你真的测试过吗？你说的对，那个版本确实太strong了，但你连哪里strong都搞不清楚就在这里评论，难绷。

But each boss has its own attack rhythm. Meanwhile gestalt abigail's rhythm is fixed. So though Abigail maybe can beat gragonfly, when she face other boss, her attack pattern doesn't help her elude well. Therefore Abigail is still difficult to be protected by player. That's why so many people, espacially the wendy users, are not satisfied.

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. 

 

the bag being on the layer on top (going into his face) when you walk to the right is weird

also its so few frames of animations, weirdly choppy especially when you compare it to even just walking animations  the decision to have no smear frames is.... interesting?

i just expected klei to never mess up animating, especially not with just making it spasm left to right violently with no smear frames and few keyframes making it look extremely choppy. and also its just a joke at the end lol

The multi hit not reducing the planar damage from the lunar potion is really cool.

First of all I REALLY appreciate the work put on Knabsack because the animations made it much better
but I believe the biggest issue with knabsack is it's design when full, that is the least appealing visually and this poll shows it
I think slightly bigger version of second form would be perfect, so it looks like knabsack from the main menu without the lumpiness

Also it farts a little with souls when Covetous Collector is maxed out kinda like the VFX idea I made back then! O.o

When using the “Attack At” Command with Gestalt Abigail, she will now strike a series of targets until she reaches the selected destination. Her damage starts at 66% of her original damage and diminishes by 33% each hit. This command also has a longer cooldown.

Thanks for that!

By the way, I found that the damage from lunar planar damage potion is not reduced as 66%, this is an interesting synergistic effect, hopefully it is not a bug!

[link6566]

The cooldown time is too short. It is recommended to increase it to 100 seconds. Wendy is too powerful.

Fixed Shadow Reaper and Shadow Maul calling Wortox a mortal.

First of all, thank you so much for the fix. It feels much more in character now that the Shadow Maul and Shadow Reaper no longer refer to Wortox as a mortal.

At the same time, I believe the reason why Wortox was designed to have the Shadow Reaper as his specialized weapon is to align with his "soul harvester" theme that stems from his monster side. It would be a great idea to have some special interactions and quotes between him and the Shadow Reaper, for example, having the shadow reaper tempt him to harvest more souls and succumb to his darker side would be really cool.

 

I have come across a previous post giving suggestions on these special quotes, and imo this guy is on the right track.

thats what i been talkin about especialy wortox specializes into the reaper, so i came up with some more fitting quotes for the reaper



"yessss, you desssier soulsssss....you grave them...."

"reaping soulssssss is fun for you? i can only admit itssssss fun to me too!"

"sssssshall we farm fresssssh, ripend soulsssssss?"

"oh.....you ssssseem like you could take onto any mortal with easssse....."

Sadly, the knabsack just doesnt look that good

[flamboyant wolf]

I like how the Gestalt Abi dash attack looks from what I've seen, gonna have to check it out once I'm free. If it feels nice to use, I will prob use Gestalt Abi much more.

[Master_NiX]

Another update, and once again asking for two features ;-;

Head/Tail Link/slot for Wortox (or maybe Wurt too, she got tail in one of the skins as well)

Spoiler

And ability to build Headstone for graves without headstones.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the string for Wortox's Soul Decoy II skill.

 

Does this fix the issue with Soul Decoy II not hitting the mob that attacked it in some cases?

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?

I agree I mainly use it to reposition Abigail not so much for damage.

In most bossfights and single enemy scenarios this cooldown is just too long and too inflexible.

Thanks Klei 

 

Looks cool as heck. I do love the visual effect of having Abigail strike in a flash of light every single enemy, even if is not that great effectivewise.

The increase cooldown for attack at makes it so is not as great for repositioning Abigail, so it is not less useful for fighting against bosses, and it makes the player having to rely on either the Escape command or Abigail's AI. Though I'm mostly happy her repertoire of things she can do has been expanded a bit and is not just a 1 trick pony.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed W.O.B.O.T. sometimes becoming unresponsive after going offscreen.
• Fixed power load on Winona’s generators not updating properly when connected devices change between idle/sleep/charging modes.
• W.I.N.bot will now properly disconnect from a circuit when reactivating itself, and will be moved back to its deploy point when deactivating itself off screen.

Very big too! It was annoying having to wait nearby for the W.I.N.bot to finish its task before going away <3

Bravo Klei, I hope in about 5 years, redo the skill trees for Wortox and Wolfgang, and then I hope they will become interesting.

Adding 'Wolfgang' to cover up the bait and make it seem tasty, but at least I'm not gonna fall for it, nuh uh

perhaps the solution should b to lower all the cooldowns, and gestalt abigail gets an extended cooldown if the attack at hits an enemy
