Vengeful ghost idea

[WeWoWa]

I have an idea to make this skill more interesting. Of course, this is just a loose concept, the beta is already over, and the developers have been silent about whether there will be any more adjustments to the skill trees. But I thought I’d share it anyway.

The goal is to make this skill a genuinely fun perk. The idea is that when Wendy dies, and Abigail is at level 3, Abigail can sacrifice herself to resurrect Wendy.

Here are various requirements and costs associated with this ability to ensure it's not too overpowered:

• For the skill to activate, Abigail must be at level 3.
• Abigail must remain at level 3 for some time before the skill becomes available. (Meaning, simply reaching level 3 wouldn’t immediately unlock the ability. It would require Abigail to stay at that level for a few days before becoming active. This could be indicated through a sound effect, a dialogue line, or a small Abigail flower icon appearing near Wendy's health bar—similar to how potions appear near Abigail’s health.)
• After resurrection, Abigail enters a cooldown period. This means Abigail would have 0 HP and couldn’t be summoned for a certain time. (Similar to how she worked before her rework.) The Abigail flower would be completely closed, as she needs to recover after using all her energy to save her sister. If Wendy clicks on the flower during this cooldown, she would say something like, "My sister isn’t ready yet," or "Abigail needs to rest." After a few days, the flower would reopen, Abigail would start regenerating health, and she could be summoned again.
• Alternative 1 (only if the previous point isn’t implemented): Instead of a cooldown, the flower is destroyed after the resurrection. A few days later, it starts regenerating but remains weak, requiring Wendy to either:
  1. Make a sacrifice (similar to before the rework).
  2. Repair it using Mourning Glory.
• Alternative 2 (only if neither of the previous two are implemented): After Abigail sacrifices herself, both she and the flower disappear completely, forcing Wendy to craft a new flower.

Potential Buffs:

• After being revived, Abigail enters a synergy with Wendy (similar to previously suggested concepts or a certain mod, which I’ll link below). Wendy would glow slightly, similar to WX-78 after being struck by lightning.
• During this synergy, Abigail lends Wendy her remaining strength, granting:
  • Light in the darkness.
  • Increased damage and movement speed.
  • Instead of taking damage herself, Wendy would receive Abigail’s health bar as a shield.
  • Each second spent in this form drains 10 Abigail HP, meaning the form would last a maximum of 60 seconds if Abigail had 600 HP at the time of Wendy’s death. Once Abigail's health reaches 0, Wendy loses all buffs.
• Resurrection animation: The revival sequence could resemble the Mourning Glory III ability but instead of Abigail emerging from a grave, the animation would happen mid-air.

With these changes, this skill would be perfect for less experienced players who die frequently.

This wouldn’t be too overpowered, as players who rarely die would likely skip this skill due to the significant cost (losing Abigail for a period would severely weaken Wendy). They would likely prefer to invest their skill points elsewhere.

Yeah, that’s cool and all… but if Wurt can have Merms that resurrect after death, Wendy should have TOTALLY had NPC followers that she has hired “Temporarily” turn into Vengeful ghosts if they die near her.

This would make the skill not so useless if your playing alone.

The current one is already interesting enough. It could makes your teammates lose their Beefalo once they died around their beefalo lol.
