I saw a Wanda in a public DST server while exploring yesterday. I told her how cool it was to meet her, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her to base or anything. She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my exploring, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to grab some items from a chest I saw her trying to walk out of the base with 15 perogies in her hands without telling anyone. The Wendy was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Wanda, you need to ask for those first.” At first Wanda kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the icebox. When Wendy took one of the Shadow Reapers and started harvesting grass, Wanda stopped her and told her to pick them each individually “to prevent any gekko infetterence,” and then turned around and bonesawed at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she picked each grass and put them in a bundling wrap and started to gather the twigs, Wanda kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Why are there so many copypastas in the comments?

the only acceptable way of killing bosses as wanda is armorless and backstep dodges only, armor is a waste of resources if you just dont get hit

wanda can be a poorly designed character from a balance perspective but she’s gotta be the funniest character for me cuz i’m not a pro at dst and she cuts out all the stuff i don’t like

Planar enemies, it seems, are the only time Wanda would be considered a glass cannon Imo. i agree with the videos central point, that wanda has failed in being a glass cannon. I am sorry for being a little passive aggressive with my comments, I could've been nicer. i think the best fix for Wanda is simply making it where if Wanda takes over 50 damage at once while in shadow granny mode, she instantly dies. This damage would ignore all armor if it is over 50 (before armor damage reduction). bone armor and Thulecite crowns effects can be excluded.

Wanda is the same to intermediate players as wigfrid is to noobs. Very appealing to those who just became intermediate level players like myself and have not beaten all the raid bosses. Finally getting to boss fights I had not yet beaten. Alarming clock does take a lot of excitement out of combat. Although I would say the back step watch makes combat slightly more dynamic. Hands down, Wanda is not a glass cannon.

I find it peculiar that wanda and walter share the same brand of boredom. One is too strong , another - too weak. Both have a strictly best option. If you play melee walter you ll suffer and underperform. His options are there instead of the othe other once , not to complement them. There is clearly a best way to play walter , at least on the team , and if you dont want it , why did you even pick him? With wanda its the same storry , but her way is way more op then walter's. Also i am super curios about her skilltree. She needs not a buff , but a nerf. So i am curious of whats to come. Well , we ll see. In due *time*.

I came to like this video for i first watched it in incognito mode , but i agree with it completely not but love it and wanted to like it. Also: i think revival clock are really bad too. In 99 percent of situations in multiplayer its the pest option by far. Only tentacles make in unperfect , or dying as wanda in an active lunar grotto to a greater gestalt with her alarming clock in hand. Generaly its really good in singleplayer too , because 9 times out of 10 its a cheaper amulet. Ah also you didnt mention: wanda never looses her most valuable items , and therefor never really have to wory about the retreat. Also her backstep watch makes her one of only two character who naturaly can escape the fuelweaver cage , without using precious lazy explorer. And to finis the mised litle points section: her fovourite food , taffy , is one of the best fave foods in the game. Because sanity and hunger are the stats she has the least controll over , having an option to make everlasting food that heals 15 sanity and gives half the hunger of meatballs with no downsides for the low low price of having to build a bee farm and having to wait longer wor them to cook , is really powerfull. With a bee farm there is no reason for her to make any other sanity food. Or maybe even any other crockpot dish at all. Allso retreiving honey is really easy with backstep watch. So she has not only mastery over health , but also hunger and sanity, making her a rare case of a character to whom sleep has barely any use. (Making it an another obsolite option , she really has no choice , polar oposite of pre rework and maybe post-rework willson. She needs not interract with the game.) And she has a single downside that works , thou i am unsure if it is an intentional one: clocks clog up your inventory really easily. No , wait , also a psychological one: making cane is hard because your character specific option is just better really. (Yea , grand downside)

I feel like maybe Wanda's age and health should be separate meters, but make it so age affects her maximum HP. Think DS Wolfgang, but replace hunger with age. This way, she can't just use her ageless watch as a free healing item, she has to actually use real sources of healing (Getting hit still accelerates aging, but reversing age no longer heals, or at least the healing is comparatively negligible, like wormwood using 1 manure). Let's say Young wanda gets to have the regular 150HP most characters have, middle-aged is 100HP (or 125hp if you're feeling generous), and old wanda is an anxiety-inducing 50HP (Lower than even Wes & Maxwell! A tallbird could one-shot her) Just some spitball stats, the hp could be even lower than that for all ages

14:53 or I could tell you that the Klaus sack trick wasn't intentional and the stunlock change wasn't a bad one cause it never messed up anything. All it did was make it where some enemies can't be killed skilllessly by holding f.

9:20 I don't get your point here. It was by design that she is on par with a regular character when she is at max health.

And there is me, a main wanda ONLY because I'm a time stuff freaky (timetravel, control time, stupid time jokes)

All DLC characters should be unbalanced and have something truly awe... Wart with her merms, Wormwood with some of the best crafts in game (sleep spores are amazing too!), and Wortox, from what I can see, is also heading in that direction. I want to see some truly broken abilities in her skill tree. And let's face it, none of the other survivors are perfectly balanced anyway.

I like Wanda. I think she plays in a pretty unique way which is fun to mess around with on a team. But as somebody who likes her mechanics, I absolutely agree that her balancing is done terribly. If Klei's goal was to make players want to stick to high age to make good use of the alarming clock, I really don't understand why the alarming clock is so dang strong when Wanda is young. The idea of major teleportation being accessible to all characters is really neat and I had never thought of that. Perhaps telelocator staffs could be linked to a focus and those focii only lose 1 purple gem each teleport, allowing for 3 teleports before needing recharging.

DVGmedia said it the best: dst was never designed to have character like Wanda, changes in hitboxes like klaus sack, stunlock changes. But what i like about her is that you kinda need to learn how to fight with alarming clock because it has different speed atack you can't just fight dfly with 6-7 hit and dodge or something like that so you need to learn something new i guess

4:17 wait a sec? You can deconstruct the beequeen crown for more royal jelly?

Omg this is truth. I totally breath this reasoning. I've preached the exact same arguments before. I still think a good telehub with the lazy deserter is the most important thing Klei should add in the future.

this and also the fact that 90% of characters dont have a real downside which isint canceled out by their strenghts the only good design of a downside nowadays is like wormwood or warly (warly isint debilitating but overall hes just not worth when wig has electric damage wanda is wanda and other characters have better skills to dish out damage) edit: this is what made wilson essentially the second worst character next to wes and why they added skilltrees

Nonsense

i see a very simple solution here - the less hp she has, the more hp she loses. there, biw she IS a glass cannon unless you play it safe, but then playing safe makes you worse then a lot of other characters. alternatively you could make armor less and less effective the less hp you have, those are just my ideas of making her a glass cannon. the backtreck and backstep watches are in my opinion pure bs, especially because poor wortox exists now ill be subjective, but she is the most unfun character ever. She has a total of 0 choices of gameplay. craft the alarming clock before day 5, Rush the ruins (yea you can go to archives but you arent guaranteed red gems), and then you HAVE to use ageless watches, variety? lets remove it. additionally, the glass cannon character has an ability. tf?

Something that could help with this is watches of the same type having a shared cooldown, so you can't stack several of them for unlimited healing. It would lock the amount of damage she's allowed to take per day.

And I aim to have her. Cuz a constantly i can learn how to play. Now is for me best for playing. I like her, and now I see i hit diamonds, without knowing it.

"I want my character to die in 1 hit or shes badly designed and not a glass cannon" tf sort of argument is that??? She needs to heal constantly. Of course with enough resources, like 95% dmg reduction armour and plentiful healing you can tank some bosses, but you are definitely more vulnerable, especially to things such as stunlocks from many mobs and now planar damage too. What an ass take video

man ur a hater. seriously

wanda made mactusk stunlock immune before i get the 6th hit on him before he moves again, i hate her just for that

I find it extreamly weird that wanda is a character that needs end game items (thulecite) to do anything

Before I start I wanna say that I know my profile pic isn't helping me right now but I'm not gonna change it to comment on one video. I was just scrolling through the coments of this video to see what the others had to say about Wanda being a failed character and surprise surprise there were people, not some but several, that disagreed with your opinion. That donsen't mean it isn't valid, I as a Wanda main agree that in a lot of cases her high damage makes her overpowered and the amount of face tanking is ridiculous but let me ask you, could you not have done the same thing with any other character? And not just get the same results but better. Wolfgang is a great example since he gets his double damage, I don't know.... 30 seconds after spawning. Not to mention he dosen't get any speed penalty from the marble armor you used in your previous video, and you could argue that he needs a lot of food to maintain his mighty form but that food could've been obtained in half the time you used to farm for ageless watches. What you don't see is even though YOU DO want to play as a robot, others don't and since the speedrun community in this game is the minority the developers will never change things based on their play style. Now about the backtrack watch, I for one don't think other characters should be allowed to have instant teleportation. When a character gains the same abilities as another it takes away from their uniqueness. I have seen this with with Wickerbottom and Maxwell. If I want to play Maxwell but I really like some of the Wickerbottom books and the farms I am able to create with them I can just change to Wicker, get what I want from her and then change back to Maxwell, in this case Wickerbottom is a swap character. Now imagine if any character would be able to read her books. Why would I ever play her? To me this video is a direct attack at a character you just don't like.

Good video eberferatu

Lol let wanda be op man...

you are wrong, me not like you

You would be right saying THE WORST designed Character if not Wolfgang for no reason 3 times stonger than others , afk Wendy gameplay abusing her sister bodyguard , Fucking Wurt with her being WET and having own army + slaves , 30% speed turf + busted health (that bitch will shoot laser from eyes and fly if devs goes crazy)

:(

Once thing I'd like to note about the alarming clock, planar damage did nothing to it, and it is still powerful Some enemies take less damage from it, so what? With old wanda(which can be tanky with endgame armor) the alarming clock is still stupid strong, so there is no reason to say planar damamge killed her Hell, I daresay it made her stronger due to the boost for shadow weapons. Good character, 0nly problem is that it is TOO good.

I have a friend who mains Wanda, and it is WILD how different the experience is when he isn’t playing Wanda. He dies more often cause he can’t use the easy healing, he takes damage from things he never got hit by before because he’s used to the extra range from the Alarming Clock, and he’d always enter combat without armor because he’s too used to the Alarming Clock carrying him through so many fights. Wanda literally makes players WORSE at the game because of how strong she is, and I’ll fight in that hill until she gets some much needed balancing

Wolfgang can deal 2x damage for free. Get 95% protection and extra inventory space and work more efficiently while mighty. Wortox gets heal and sanity for free . Just by doing the most common task in the game. Wanda is frailer than Maxwell for her max damage output. Night armor still takes away sanity when she gets hit. Wanda's playstyle encourages you to dodge and not face tank even with armor unless you want to fill your inventory with agelesses. Back when there were no skill tree she was busted because they didn't think the whip could stunlock. Then the skill trees were added Everyone else that has the tree is more busted than Wanda. In terms of both utility and combat. And people still complain about her being too op. Like, come on. Just enjoy the game.

nah I still think she is cool

le tengo mucho cariño a wanda, ¿falla en su objetivo?, si, pero otros también lo están asiendo. ¿se puede arreglar?, si, para empezar intentaría arreglar lo del reloj de la eterna juventud, para arreglar el reloj preferiría aser que pierda vida mas rápido como para que sea justito para que se pueda mantener con vida y curarse sin que las mecánicas básicas del juego sean ignoradas y a la ves el personaje sea mas difícil. el reloj de paso atrás veo que necesita un cambio gordo, o de plano un cambio por completo de como funciona (ahora mismo no tengo muy claro como podría ser este cambio pero ya se me ocurrirá algo), por otro lado, el reloj de la segunda oportunidad esta bien, pero creo que necesita que los jugadores reviviros con este reloj tengan unos segundos de invencibilidad para que no muera si hay enemigos cerca, y sobre el reloj con gema, esta bastante bien como esta, alomejor se podría usar mas de una ves antes que la gema se rompa a cambio de mas cordura perdida pero sigue estando bastante bien como esta, y ahora hablando del reloj sin la gema, seria demasiado complicado balancearlo, pero se me ocurre algo con la edad, ¿que tal si dependiendo de cuantos años tengas mas o menos será el coste de uso? , si eres joven será de 8 minutos(lo normal de tiempo en utilizarlo actualmente), si estas en la segunda fase, este será de 10 minutos, y por ultimo si eres viejo será de 14 minutos, y por ultimo pero no menos importante, el reloj despertador, aqui hay dos caminos y son: o bajarle el daño o el alcance, por separado están bien, pero juntos es lo que rompe el arma, lo mejor seria bajarle el daño al reloj. sobre la vida, como ya dije en un principio, es aser que pierda vida mas rápido, para aumentar la dificultad y también intentar volverlo mas divertido, también cambiaria como seria el multiplicador de daño, que seria asi: que cada año sume un poquito de daño , incluso teniendo 21 años, wanda infligiría una MUY pequeña cantidad de daño, y que rondando por los 70 a 79 de daño pueda alcanzar su antiguo daño de 142 de daño o asta mas(obviamente si wanda esta utilizando el reloj despertador, el multiplicador de daño actuaria de forma normal con cualquier otra arma), y que también tenga un multiplicador de daño con armas relacionadas con la luna, o nose. por ultimo, a wanda le daría mas relojes únicos con habilidades únicas, como por ejemplo un buff de velocidad y que las cosas cerca crezcan un poco mas rápido. en fin, wanda en mi opinión es muy única y me encanta, talvez falle en cumplir con su propósito, pero sigue pareciéndome un muy buen personaje :)

Wanda skill tree when??🔥🔥🔥

What an interesting character design. I should try her out sometime!

I still think Walter is designed worse

To preface, I hadn't played Wanda yet, but on the topic of balancing op and glass cannon characters, I do have some words. I wanna think that Wanda *is* balanced as a glass cannon, but for gamers of many years past. Of course people were skilled, but feels like the skill floor and common skill level is a lot higher, which makes it hard to balance things. Things are balanced for people who take it easy sometimes.

Damn what happened to having fun man

Don't forget that is one of p2w dst exclusive char just like Wurt being able to Thanos snap bosses and Wortox with skill tree now also being able to kill a moon Bearget with the help of a stack of alive butterflies in his pocket. If they weren't gamebreaking or easy in one or few aspects of the game - people wouldn't care for them much to spend money on.

A big mama wanda fan here XD I'mma be honest, at first when wanda came out, i was dying to play with her, and i still loooove her to my bones, but this video truly shows how much of an issue playing with wanda is... She is just... Too easy |: 143.8 dmg per hit, crap ton of health regen, and a love for sweets makes her such an easy character that even i sometimes get bored Xd I still love her and nothing will change that, she is one of the most fun characters to play with ( till u get ur hands on thulecite and good armor thou ) but only if she was just a lil harder, it would have been AMAZING to play with her ( The uncompromising mod truly does an amazing job with making wanda a challenging character, so if u like me are bored being stuck in a time loop of melting every boss in less than a game year, i actually recommend the mod for u ) Anyhow, thanks for the video, but still, stop being a granny hater or u won't get any cookies, good boy XD

wanda is a tank

When’s the tainted eve video

Klei seems determined to give everyone a skill tree which is good but i can't even imagine what a wanda skill tree would be since she already does so much, for other characters things like the alarming clock and backstep watch would be skill tree items. The best i have is super boring stuff like even more damage increases when old or getting hit removes less time

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Wanda. I try to play Webber. Wanda deals more damage. I try to play Wigfrid. Wanda deals more damage. I try to play Wolfgang. Wanda deals more damage. I want to play anyone else. Wanda is still their best teammate. I want to play Wilson, Woodie, they're both outperformed by Wanda. She grabs me by the throat. I fish for her. I cook for her. I give her a dark sword. She isn't satisfied. I craft an alarming clock. "I don't need this much range". She tells me "give me more ageless watches". She grabs Wormwood and forces him to throw himself at the hounds. "You just need to funnel me more. I can deal more damage with spicy volt goat jelly." I can't make spicy volt goat jelly, we don't have a Warly. "Guess this is the end". She grabs her alarming clock. She says, "You ruffian, I'll clean your clocks!" There is not a single hint of sadness in her eyes. Nothing but pure, 142 damage per hit. What a cruel world.

At which role did warly failed?

SO THAT'S WHY STUNLOCKING IS SO DIFFERENT NOW
