as a wendy main, i'm proud that i learned nothing from this....but also sad that i learned nothing from this

Wendy: And I took that personally.

How to fight as Wendy:

Step 1: Let your dead sibling do all the job for you.

[IamSamisMe]

I really think that mourning glories should've been an infinite fuel for cisterns

[ZEK-ROM]

pure wendy main, started because abi is very helpful if i might be lagging and the worst happens. my playstyle is very safe and careful, so abi is quite helpful to me.

Wendy is what some would call "Low skill floor, high skill ceiling" or "Easy to learn, hard to master."

Abby trivialising day to day combat and acting as a disengage tool makes her very forgiving and convenient to new players, but managing her in boss fights and knowing what potions to use and when (rather than just defaulting to healing potions) makes her fairly complex if your not relying on teammates to handle harder fights for you. Good news is if you *can* manage her, she is stronger than the average character in those fights too.

Other things important to Wendy is knowing how to manage her real downside. It's not dealing 25% less damage in combat, because good Abby management lets you turn her damage down into a damage up, but that she *sucks* at traditional nightmare fuel farming, because shadows are one of the few mobs Abby doesn't help with and they take ages to kill without a beefalo.

The best way to farm fuel as Wendy in my experience is to go to the Village biome and murder Shadow Monkey hordes, which is dangerous if you don't know what your doing (finding the wilds, dealing with worms, the horde and managing Abby's hp) but again turns her downside (awful fuel farming) into an upside, she becomes amazing at farming fuel/morsels/bananas/beard hair with this trick.

The best part about Wendy is like Maxwell and Wanda, she doesn't have downside's if you play her well and know the tricks to get around them.

If you're considering a part 2 here's some topics I'd love to see covered:
- Which bosses can be kited without much chance of them hitting abigail (and conversely which you should tank for this reason)
- How to keep abi alive with aoe damage enemies such as deerclopse. (Or whether it's even worth having her out in these fights)

[affectojfgidi]

Like! This vid was easy to understand for me as a newbie, while many others weren't! I feel like I have a better mindset and knowledge about playing as Wendy now.

[donanilao]

I was planning on doing a Wendy run (eventually), so thanks for the basic guide.

[asepsisaficionado]

All of this is just fine and dandy except for the Klaus fight. I'm it's possible, but Abigail has to have surgical precision to keep the gem deer alive until the end, especially with all those jump attacks.

[fatihcambek]

Great guide, if you mentioned which bosses and which potions should we use against them the video would be perfect

[boukyakunosenritsu]

You missed the most important tip - fight on beefalo! 😎

Wendy mains after rework : Abigail! I choose you! *Abigail gets critical hit*
Well damn, oh nevermind🙄 *proceeds to summon her again*

[uwu-lyeb]

I didn't know you can just unsummon Abigail like that, i thought you were supposed to use the ice staff

[Sustenance_]

Be very careful which bosses your bring Abby into. Generally if they have an AOE its not worth the effort of keeping her alive. On single target bosses keep Abby soothed and she will be much less likely to take agro away from you and get hit while you are kiting.

Also besides varglets, Abby can actually solo 2x the normal amount of hounds in a late game wave even at day.

For me for enemy boss like deerp clop/Ant Lion/ Goose I mostly use boost damage for abigal then tank for her to kill them as quickly as possible so abigal won't die
*note: ant Lion cannot attack abigal you can just afk and let abigal to attack Ant Lion :P but it quickly if you fight with her but if you scare of him just let her do the job for ya
For Goose always stand in front of abigal so the goose will target you instead of abigal to deal maximum damage without abigal talking hit
*note you can use boost speed to kill the baby goose :P then slap the mother later
for bigger boss I mostly using sleep boost for abigal so she can retreat fast so the boss still target you when abigal in their range when you dodge boss attack that all my fighting experience with wendy and abigal :D maybe there will be more in future for me to share
about the Buff
I mostly use speed and boost damage
the healing one iz kidda useless for me unless in a long fight she will need a break for healing ( like bee queen now after they patch )
for the shield Buff use it when enemy have mutiple atk like the baby moose if there are 17 of them but have 1 mother it will make your life more easier :P
The thing you may not know iz that you can use healing items like spider gland to heal abigal so you can save the healing Buff for the bigger boss fight

[adogewithwifi]

Found this really helpful I might give Wendy a good try but one question how do you craft the items for the potions and which ones are good to stock up on and farm for specifically

[shadowhog]

What was that footage @1:58? Did you stun-lock Moose/Goose? Is that possible?

[litbit]

Me personally I just slap healing tonics on her and run

How do you punch ingame without clicking on them?
