Nikki Darks Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) It's probably going to be Wickerbottom or Warly since the community kinda agrees that these 2 need it the most. But this is assuming Klei decides to listen to the community.

DimokKio Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Hi everyone! I'm using a translator. I believe there's a nearly 100% chance it will be Webber. Looking at the 2026 roadmap, we can roughly predict who's next. There are only two characters on it without a skill tree: Maxwell and Webber. Since the original post mentioned a desire to wrap up the Shadow story arc this summer, and Maxwell is the most connected to it among the playable characters, I think he was added specifically to highlight the lore. As for Webber, I can't see him being tied to anything other than his own skill tree. However, thereās one unusual detail: in the roadmap art, Webber has three pairs of legs on his head, even though he has always had only two in every official artwork before. The roadmap post was made a long time ago, and even though I reported it on the bug tracker, there have been no changes to the drawing or comments from the developers. This leads me to believe itās an intentional clue related to his skill tree. Iām really hoping for a powerful skill tree for Webber - one that goes down in history and marks a renaissance not just for Webber gameplay, but for the game as a whole.Ā He is an incredibly interesting character even now, and he truly deserves a great skill tree.

GrapeVruit Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I just really want Wickerbottom to get one soon, not because I think she needs it, I mean she's still very strong at the moment with being able to mass produce food, basic resources, and having control over the rain and moon cycle, but I just want to see crazy ideas Klei will add to her skill tree. With how much creativity the books provide in her kit now, God only knows what the possibilities will be once her tree is released. I just worry it'll be like last time during the character refreshes and she'll be the 2nd to last character to receive one, either because Klei sees her as pretty strong or too boring that they'll hold it off for a while with most not caring that much. As much as I like playing as Mrs. Wicked Buttocks, I feel like they're not nearly as popular as some of the other characters.Ā 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171418-who-do-you-think-would-get-the-next-skilltree/#findComment-1866278 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdijk16 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I hope next skill tree will be for Wickerbottom. I think that Wicker's current skillset puts too much emphasis on books, which promotes a passive and base-sitting playstyle. So I hope that Wicker's skill tree will be more focused on using her knowledge to help in survival and less focused on books. Perhaps there could be some unique Wicker-specific items added that involve her using her knowledge of natural science to help the survivors. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171418-who-do-you-think-would-get-the-next-skilltree/#findComment-1866470 Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouKnowWho142 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) 44 minutes ago, Jakepeng99 said: Wanda needs that downside You say that like wanda is super overpowered when she has already been powercreeped beyond oblivion. Against planar enemies she's genuinely almost at wes level, maybe even worse due to her poor healing items while wes can at least slam healing food if he takes a hit while having his decreased damage be basically not a downside because of how planar weapons work. Planar weapons barely scale with her age, her unique weapon is useless, and she's almost oneshot in her old form. This is different from being a "downside", she just outright almost doesn't function in post rift, the same exact issues most characters had before their skill trees and the exact problem that skill trees were designed to address. Bernie, catapults, weremoose, abigail, the slingshot, Wolfgang's double damage, etc are all main core mechanics of their characters that just were not usable against planar enemies that were finally given a chance to be useful once more once their skill trees did drop, and Wanda will not be an exception when her skill tree drops, and that's entirely valid and expected. Having her be unplayable during an entire portion of the game isĀ notĀ a downside, it's a symptom of mechanics that Wanda wasn't initially designed around and hasn't been properly updated to handle. She shouldn't be relegated to a weaker Wilson during what's supposed to be the final, most challenging part of the game, that's not enjoyable as a player and not fair to her character.
