"Abigail? Come up back! I'one thousand not done playing with you."
–Wendy
This is a guide for playing as Wendy, the Bereaved. It will give a general summary of her strengths and weaknesses, and will as well explain some of the most common and constructive ways to use her twin sister, Abigail.
Graphic symbol Summary[]
Preferring to employ studied, elaborate tactics and strategy in combat, Wendy is a unique character whose gameplay often involves fighting large-scale battles into the darkest hours of the dark.
One of her more easily overlooked strengths is a lower and slower sanity drain debuff from monsters and the boring bleed of dusk and night. Night time can wear her sanity down eventually, only information technology volition have much longer than with other characters. This gives Wendy much more freedom and choice to do as she pleases when the night comes, or when approaching insanity-inducing creatures, such equally Spiders or Ghosts.
The starting time hurdle one will have to face as Wendy is that she simply doesn't have the strength to easily kill the same enemies that some other character could. Her physical strength is equal to Wes's, leaving her more than vulnerable to some threats that might have been disregarded with other characters, such as Wilson, or even better, Wolfgang. Kiting is decisively more crucial when playing as her. Information technology becomes increasingly of import to get a experience for the timing of your enemies' attacks, as well as to avoid getting overwhelmed - something that is easier to fall victim to without Abigail effectually to assist.
Abigail is Wendy's deceased sister, and primary ability, she is called dorsum into ghost class through her Flower. Summoning Abigail lets you trade a hefty 50 for all of the destructive powers of an angry spirit, simply always recall: Abigail is non invincible and that she tin can dice. She has a total of 600 and in one case summoned, Abigail volition follow Wendy around, merely will keep her distance so that she can't be completely next to Wendy until either Abigail attacks, or until Wendy does the same to her (except in , whereas Wendy can stand close to her sis to prevent Charlie from attacking). Abigail volition harmlessly bladder near Wendy most of the fourth dimension, but she will endeavour to attack whatever enemy that Wendy attacks, or any enemy that attacks either Wendy or Abigail herself. It must be noted that she can attack hostile creatures by herself too, such every bit Spiders, and passive creatures that wander effectually, such equally Moleworms or Collywobbles; and this can happen if they get also shut to her. Abigail turns red when she is causing harm or when damaged, and while attacking she utilizes a short range area-of-effect (AoE) that can increment in power equally darkness fall.
In addition to Don't Starve Together[]
In Don't Starve Together, both Abigail and Wendy accept received some important changes.
For example, Abigail deals even more damage during in the daylight and when darkness are falling, respectively dealing 15 and 25 , increasing her effectiveness. In addition, she is able to defend herself more than finer thanks to her shield, lasting a brief elapsing, which can exist empowered. Wendy is able to manage her sanity ameliorate than ever, and doesn't lose any when you are in proximity of ghosts, becoming neutral to you.
Every bit Wendy you can ready your Ghostly Elixirs, and administer them to your dead sister to trigger powerful furnishings. With these, you lot become able to achieve results in fights that otherwise would have been impossible. She must offset gather some Mourning Glories by helping the spirits of the dead juveniles, the Pipspooks, past finding their lost toys.
The elixirs Wendy can craft are the following:
The Revenant Restorative, a useful elixir which can be used to heal Abigail'south ectoplasmic wounds to sustain her in harsh environments, such as the Ruins;
The Spectral Cure-all, an fifty-fifty more powerful healing item to let your sis heal during long fights that require a heavier amount of nighttime magic;
The Unyielding Draught, useful to better shield Abigail when the enemies aren't hampered by your sister'due south burn;
The Distilled Vengeance, to punish enemies who dare to attack your filial specter's shields;
The Nightshade Nostrum, to brand feel enemies the nighttime while the daylight shines upon them, empowering Abigail's attacks to always deal forty ;
and finally, the Vigor Mortis, and let Abigail feel more swift than ever, increasing her movement speed.
Learning how best to use Abigail's strengths, and how to manage her weaknesses, is what will set the stronger Wendy players apart from the rest, making a big difference if 1 knows how to use her powers correctly. Abigail isn't perfect, simply she can easily acquit you lot through some of the most common threats in the game, letting you rest easy where you could have struggled alone.
Abigail[]
"Abigail! Are you ready to play?"
–an unusual joyful Wendy.
Abigail is summoned using her Flower. When the flower is fully open , killing anything (even yourself!) while the flower is on the ground will summon her, causing you to suffer a 50 penalty as a result. However, this does not utilize to murdering a captured animal within your inventory (in , the method is different as described afterwards).
When Abigail attacks, she utilizes a short range area-of-effect (AoE) assault that will deal damage to any enemy in a modest radius effectually her. This harm starts off weak in the daylight, dealing 10 , while gradually becoming stronger as night falls; eventually ramping up to iv times (40 at night, twenty during sunset) as much damage during night as she does during solar day.
Abigail'southward Blossom goes through iii distinct stages; the first will show it curled up with a white hue , the 2nd volition show information technology starting to open up with a faded pinkish color , and the third volition show information technology fully open up and glowing a red-pink , as well equally it levitating when left on the basis, and making a ghostly sound if approached, merely this merely occurs in .
Be warned: 50 is a high price to pay for summoning Abigail. While commonly worth information technology, unprepared players can find such a sanity driblet hard to recover from. Try to obtain some sanity-restoring food (such as a Cooked Green Cap) or clothing (for istance, a Meridian Hat, since it's easy to come past while playing as Wendy) in club to replace the cost. It is also recommended that the thespian should not endeavor to summon Abigail when their sanity is already depression to brainstorm with, since Abigail tin't aid Wendy fight the Shadow Creatures.
The easiest way to ensure that you can summon Abigail is to have a nearby Flower and wait for a Butterfly to spawn. Fifty-fifty Wendy, with her tiny fists, tin kill these flying carbs in i hit. During Wintertime, stored Rabbits or Birds can be used instead; though they must first be placed upon the basis before sacrificing them in order to summon her.
Don't Starve Together[]
In Don't Starve Together, each blooming state of the Bloom doesn't determine the charging rate of the particular, but rather, it indicates Abigail'due south power level , which can cap up to level 3. Each country represents her level, the highest beingness the one nearly saturated in carmine. Each ane of information technology will grow your sis's health from the weak 150 , level ii empowering her by 300 , and finally upwards to 600 .
Notation that the Flower will stay unbloomed if you are far from it, left on the ground, or if other players other than you (except other Wendys) carry information technology in their inventory. Since other players apart from fellow Wendys can't grasp your ghostly and eerie comprehension towards the world of spectral creatures, they can't summon Abigail in any way.
Summoning[]
In Don't Starve Together, summoning Abigail has get an easier task, since the player is simply required to correct click on the Abigail's Flower and wait for Wendy to summon her. Upon calling for her dead sis, you lot gain 15 , making the summoning an advantage, all across the board. You lot should be aware of the fact that Wendy can lose fifteen if you dismiss her, making the proceeds of sanity completely worthless; even more if destroyed by whatsoever other means, such as from an enemy or environmental damage, losing 30 and resetting her power dorsum to level 1.
Abigail's Perks[]
Abigail also has ii states, which can exist changed by Wendy at volition. One, the Sooth state, is what is seen in Don't Starve, where she sticks by Wendy and volition never engage if not told to do and then (except for a few entities, like Moleworms). In her other state, Rile Upwards, she targets whatsoever hostile or neutral mobs without being told to.
Rile Up can be a handy tool in diverse situations. Since Abby doesn't need to be told what to exercise, she can exist used every bit a distraction from Wendy. For instance, Cavern Spider nests tin't be taken out with attacking and take to be mined down. And so, to prevent being caught in a stunlock loop from Spiders and not existence able to become anything done, Wendy can Rile Up Abby and take her deal the first hit. The Cavern Spiders and Spitters will go after her and completely ignore Wendy, making her costless to mine away at the nest.
Remember to Sooth her after the gainsay, equally she can cause a lot of unwanted problem with other creatures (for istance, Bunnymen or Pigs).
Wendy doesn't requite a damn about Spiders
A video most Abigail's effectiveness against swarms.
When hitting a foe, Abigail renders them vulnerable and the damage they take is increased by 10%, and you are going to bargain an extra 40% against them, making Wendy a character more than fit for fighting rather than anything. If one does the maths, the total damage dealt to enemies is increased by 115%, rendering Abigail useful to bargain important fleck damage in (for example) boss fights, whereas she couldn't take washed annihilation but disappear in a matter of seconds. If y'all are able kite correctly, y'all can really set the aggro of the enemies onto yous when they effort to hit (faling, hopefully), and thus, prolonging her presence in the earth of the living.
Another of import tip: if you are unsummoning Abigail to prevent the loss of her perks while in combat, you should practice it just when y'all get a piddling bit of altitude from the foe(south), since the unsummoning animation would let the enemy striking Wendy, losing important health points. This besides applies to (and specially) when you are summoning her, which takes even more time.
Combat with Abigail[]
Being the bane of the creatures that swarm their attackers, or those who cartel to strike during night, Abigail is able to take down a large amount of monsters which otherwise would be a claiming to defeat on your own.
As she is more vulnerable past herself, 1 of the nigh valuable avails Wendy possesses is the ability to throw her sister at creatures in order to kill them for her. Oft y'all can let her have the burden of enemy attacks for y'all, while yous rush in afterwards the aggro has been triggered to get your ain attacks in (or just to collect the loot). Abigail regenerates health gradually over fourth dimension in the same way that Chester does (which result tin exist amplified with and ), and and can have quite the beating compared to Wendy, though it isn't hard for Abigail to be bested past certain kinds of enemies.
Abigail will start to attack things when you click to attack them, making a viable strategy to assail-click, quickly move to pause the path finding, and then permit whatever you lot just clicked at feel the fire of her ectoplasm. Note that in you are required to fake an attack on an entity in order to set Abigail on the hunt, and clicking doesn't work at all until the intent of hurting is shown.
Unlike the actor (unremarkably), Abigail tin can be brought back several times in the same earth. Don't be afraid to throw her to the Hounds or to use her every bit a scapegoat in dire situations; your life is far more important than hers.
Some of the situations in which Abigail shines are listed as follows.
Recommended Targets[]
Spiders will melt below Abigail by the dozen due to the fashion they try to swarm their prey, making assaults versus dozens of Spiders simultaneously a relatively unproblematic endeavor. Send forth Abigail to aggro the nest, plus whatsoever Spiders are in the area. Farming Spiders with Abigail can exist tricky to manage properly, so it's best to keep an center on her and attempt to go on an opening for yourself in case she goes down and the swarm targets you instead. Don't be afraid to bail if you remember things take gotten out of hand; worst-case scenario, you'll just have to brand a quick dash through the nest pitter-patter to catch her Flower again, if the zone is safe enough (this doesn't utilize to ).
Bees is another easy target for Abigail. Virtually of the fourth dimension an entire swarm tin exist stunlocked all at once as she sits on their hive and kills every single one Bee. Abigail is even able to manage easily hundreds of them without any particular trouble.
Beefalos are a mixed bag as well, due to their natural tankiness, heavy (yet boring) attacks, and their trend to rush in from large distances when their comrades are attacked. While non really the best target for Abigail, in the darkest hours of dark is the all-time time to take on a herd due to her higher assault impairment, but make certain you dorsum Abigail upwards or she might not accept the ability needed to melt through an unabridged herd. Exist prepared to sprint if she falls, just if the group is small enough you lot should be able to mop up what's left, even if Abigail didn't accept it in her to finish the task. In Don't Starve Together, you are recommended to use a Distilled Vengeance to get a little bit more than harm output and shield Abigail to prevent her to die near instantly. If you lack the necessary materials, use a Unyielding Draught instead, which can be equally useful equally the latter, even though this can exist unsafe in larger Beefalo herds.
Koalefant hunting can as well exist made easier with Abigail'due south assist. In one case tracked, place the Koalefant into a broad surface area. Next, issue an attack order on the Koalefant, and Abigail will endeavor to set on information technology. If everything goes well, she'southward going to become the animal'south aggro and let you kill information technology with ease, while you aid Abigail her set on. In , this method is impossible to employ and you are required to resort to alternative methods.
Hound waves, specially early, are easily handled by Abigail. Versus larger groups she tin be overpowered, simply the first several weeks can be spent in relative safety as you can largely ignore the handful of Hounds that came for you, picking upwardly bits and pieces of them when the deed is done. Beware of fires from Red Hounds afterward on: the burn damage can impairment Abigail if she spends as well much time sitting inside of it. In Don't Starve Together, you are recommended to use shielding elixirs (, ) to Abigail, every bit when larger groups are going to assail you, your spiritual sister helper is going to take serious problems surviving the waves, making survival particularly hard for Wendy when it comes to Hounds in later seasons.
Pengulls are an easy target for Abigail, as she'southward able to finish the job faster than most characters in the game. Just gear up aggro on one of the Pengulls, and permit her kill them (more preferably during night). In this manner, Wendy is able to get together an easy source of Jet Feathers, Morsels and Drumsticks.
Tallbirds are a mixed bag, as Tallbirds generally target the player. Even though the Tallbird is fast enough to reach the player, its attack won't connect (given the histrion does not stop running). Abigail will then take hold of up to the Tallbird and set on it, which will commonly event in a victory. It may take time for Abigail to kill the Tallbird, especially if the fight takes identify during the day. Still, if the Tallbird targets Abigail, Abigail'due south chances of death skyrocket. During the fight, you are recommended to aid her, equally in Abigail is going to empower your attacks, making quick job of the Tallbird. If fighting sequent nests, it's better to craft a Revenant Restorative for more sustain during the entrada, or a Spectral Cure-All if you think you're swift enough for a slaughter of birds. If you find yourself before a Tallfort, amend craft a Distilled Vengeance for full commotion, and helping your sister during the attack (as always, during night, preferably).
Spider Queens are an piece of cake foe for Abigail and if you are helping, yous can easily finish a series of arachnide regimes. In engagement you must exist quick and direct, and most importantly, equip armor and a decent weapon (such as a Cutlass Supreme in , or a Ham Bat ). Spider Queen doesn't have every bit much wellness as other bosses, so if y'all and your sister will help eachother during the fight while tanking and hitting the main target, you are going to impale her in a matter of seconds, specially when Abigail can easily deal with the Spiders wandering and protecting their queen.
Not Recommended[]
There are likewise many enemies that Abigail will struggle to fight confronting. These foes are oftentimes plentiful on the map and tin be extremely dangerous to any Wendy player. Care must be taken when attempting to pass through the areas where these mobs reside when Abigail is in tow.
Tentacles will wreck Abigail. Striking them resets their attack cooldown, and she volition exercise and so consistently with no consideration for her ain rubber, making things that much harder for herself. She tin sometimes accept a single tentacle, simply strolls through the swamp will sometimes trigger the aggro of many tentacles in a row, and each fourth dimension she will break off from you lot and attack the thing that just took a potshot at you. The end result will go out you lot vulnerable for several days or just straight upward go out you lot injured, leaving you open for the next Hound attack as a event. If you must go through a swamp with Abigail, in it's better to Soothe Abby, in society to keep her at-home during the travel. It must exist noted, though, that an experienced Wendy player tin can easily eliminate several Tentacles if it manages to keep Abigail healed (with Honey Poultices or Healing Salves) and is quick during the splatter, making an easy source of Tentacle Spikes.
Frogs in small numbers won't pose much of a threat to Abigail. But an unabridged swarm, or even a pocket-size group fought during the twenty-four hour period, will probably exist also much for her to handle. Frogs can't exist stunned when hit, and Abigail'south tendency to sit correct on top of her prey will most likely be her downfall as the frogs constantly assault her until one side perishes. I or two is fine, just information technology'due south probably better to avoid them completely, even if using shielding elixirs.
Treeguards could, arguably, be a useful enemy to throw Abigail at. She volition fail miserably versus the creature one on ane - simply when she dies the Treeguard won't call up information technology was mad at you until you strike it or start to chop another tree down. This makes it possible to run away and equip yourself properly to duel the beast on your own terms without worrying about a lumbering monstrosity looming on the horizon. Exist prepared to do a lot of kiting when you practise appoint it, yet; it volition accept a while to kill information technology past yourself. In , keeping Abigail live while kiting correctly can be an extremely efficient way to deal damage, although this is not a recommended method when multiple Treeguards are around.
Pigs are unproblematic one on one or 2, but their kiting AI will requite Abigail nothing but trouble. If you intend to fight a pig, Abigail will complement you very nicely if yous both were betoken blank to information technology, just if it slips out of range it could give you both a fleck of a run-around. Annihilation higher than two pigs will almost surely be the doom of Abigail, or at least make your day significantly more difficult and less enjoyable.
Merms are difficult for the aforementioned reason as the Pigs in a higher place, accentuated by the fact yous volition almost always be swarmed immediately if you were too close to the Rundown Business firm. They're also faster than the Pigs, making it fifty-fifty harder for you lot and Abigail to exercise any damage. More often than not speaking, swamps and Abigail practice non mix.
Dominate enemies in general will easily do Abigail in. The supplementary harm is always useful, specially in , but in that example you're probably going to wind up taking nearly of the oestrus, and finishing the job against bosses is always going to be Wendy's job.
Notes[]
Here are some notes about Wendy and Abigail. We recommend you to read some of these to expand your noesis nigh Wendy's power and how to exploit it.
She will pass through walls when trying to avoid you lot, but her path finding forces her to seek openings like normal creatures.
Her AI does non consider her health and will endeavour to sit down directly on top of enemies, regardless of how much damage she takes.
Abigail'due south look when she is at low health.
At low (~twenty%), Abigail's normal appearance volition change to indicate her weakened country. Her eyes will turn into a more "worried" look.
Occasionally she will sit down just out of range of her AoE set on if her AI hasn't registered it because it's too small a altitude; it might exist necessary to nudge her closer to something, or re-issue the attack society.
She is slower than Wendy, and can be left behind on long walks down paths or roads. If Wendy moves far enough abroad from her, Abigail volition teleport to just off of the screen, and then go along following ordinarily, just similar Chester does.
If you lose her Flower, information technology will show upward on the map.
You can also recraft another one if you accept enough materials.
Striking Abigail using Wendy's attacks will immediately exorcise her... unless yous use an Ice Staff. If hitting with an Ice Staff, she will get angry and will assail you for a footling while.[Verification Needed]
Any aggro confronting you volition trip Abigail's aggro, possibly drawing her into unfavourable fights. Be enlightened of how close yous are getting to enemies!
After a certain corporeality of time, Abigail will get distracted and neglect whatever she was attacking unless striking again. Y'all might have to remind her to keep doing her matter if you sent her at a structure via more attack clicks (holding the button downwards doesn't assistance).
Abigail volition non help yous with hostile hallucinations. If you lot get insane, you're on your own.
Abigail always deals the about amount of damage when yous are in the Caves.
Surviving[]
Above everything else, it's important to know your own limitations and to go on a watchful eye on your items' durability and your health. Abigail will assistance, but don't let her presence make y'all experience indestructible. Be prepared and have a program for any appointment; Abigail can fail yous, and you are much weaker by yourself, particularly if y'all get blindsided or something breaks unexpectedly. Be conscious in combat with Wendy: surprises and being careless are your worst enemies, and tin can potentially lead to death.
Every bit long as things stay on your terms and you lot practice caution, Wendy will behave you well into day 100 and beyond.
