Gestalt Abigail should be able to attack Nightmare Creatures


Recommended Posts

She is similar in form to a Greater Gestalt, which can fight shadow creatures and does so with ease.

Gestalt Abigail should be able to attack Shadow Creatures, and they should be able to protect themselves and attack her.

maybe each hit would „taint” her Lunar energy with the droplets of nightmare fuel, making her lose health to make it more balanced

It just makes TONS of sense gameplay mechanics wise and lorewise, it really should be added

I personally don't really like how so many characters can so easily fall into just playing like Wilson due to them just having the base kit along with all the perks. But I really see no problem with it due to it just being a clever detail for a lunar alignment, and the fact Abigail can already farm nightmare fuel from splumonkeys. It's not significant, and I don't think that would make Wendy more boring to me, or change my enjoyment of other characters in any way. There isn't a whole lot of gameplay value in damage penalties, anyhow. You just repeat the same action for longer periods of time. And every Don't Starve player has, or will perfect the art of repetition with a variety of mobs.

 

Also, Wendy's lower damage can be an upside(I think?) If you want to save a bit if silk on capturing birds. They don't die, but get stunned... Don't quote me on that.

Maybe if Gestalt Abi died to a shadow creature, she turns back into a normal version, and get couple days cooldown before she can turn back into gestalt form as if the nightmare partially corrupted her (it would also balance it if they ever added an easier way to turn into gestalt form)

I agree with mostly your opinions.

But it have a problem - to make Gestalt Abby being hostile to Shadows would become a nerf to her. Her current target management is already a mess. More targets (Shadows nearby) only making this problem worse.
