Thanks for watching! There's a hidden fat dinosaur in 1 frame of this video, if you find it you'll win a Don't Starve Together Skin Chest!
Also I'm working on the Wurt Skill Tree Boss Rush to be released later this month!:)

Corrections & Additions:
- Casting flame cast on a 'fire container' such as a campfire, will fully refuel it! (Ty Mr Myther)
- To gain sanity from being close to things on fire, they can be a stack of items as opposed to individual items (Only applies to sanity gain, not fire damage). (Thanks DVGMedia1)
- Spicy Chilli's warming effect is influenced based on how fast you harvest it from the crockpot. (Thanks DVGMedia1)
- Only some mobs have a lower chance to be ignited, for example spider queen is 25% & torches have a 100% ignition rate otherwise... while Willow's lighter has a 50% chance until you unlock controlled burning. (Thanks DVGMedia1)

Imagine someone whos only played og dont starve finding out willows an anime character now

[STAR_MACONHA]

I was a willow main back in the og vanilla don't starve days when my brother first showed me the game. I was too scared of the night to play any other character without pooping myself

[RukoS-xyjo]

Girl went from burning bases to burning every mob in the game.

[kulekid]

When talking about whether setting a boss on fire during multiplayer is worth, a way you can deal with players getting hurt from fire damage is having a wigfrid with fireproof falsetto.

[InYourWalls]

Willow went from an annoying girl who burned the base into this absolute unit

[JackieCassidy-tlfq]

I have never played this game, but I watch these videos to sleep and I love them.

[cielwolf]

I loved the Wanda reference with the saladmander in the hot-headed section. We will always remember that run! o7

[wauchi]

Finally a Willow Guide :D

I used to be a Wendy main, but after checking out Willow rework. I changed myself to main her instead. She feels like she has so much utility and power. Like fighting bosses is so much easier with Lunar Flame, all at the cost of you spending days on farming Ember from Killerbees. The only sad thing is Bernie not doing his job as a tank, and pretty much never fully aggroing bosses :(

[JurkaG]

I love how when he shows anything related to salamander fire attack he references his wanda speedrun dying to said attack 😅😅.

[TheGreesyBeest]

Jakey is the only youtuber that will ever catch me watching a full sponsorship. Because it's funny.

[sligsentinels]

Absolutely phenomenal job as always Jakey, w0w! Pure fire editing, explanations, excel gaming, and haha funny. Love the Benedict shout-out, respect, great game play footage. The Red Magic sponsor spot was pure gold, ultra funny and adorable. It was really awesome to see Mr. Skruffles in an awake state, RIP his balls though.

[alikus]

Holy crap, u dont know how long I have waited for this, thx jakey

[lucasbrayan]

wanda would probably combo nicely with willow, because with her allarming clock she can hit bosses on fire from far enough away where she herserf doesnt take the fire damage while the boss does

[elementaltrolll]

for burning frenzy multiplayer your teammates can use Scalemail for fire immunity. it will also reapply pyro fire when they get hit, allowing less time wasted to cast combustion or flame cast. just a note.

[Kehprii]

From silly fire spreader to wacky flamethrower

[astrilume]

Winona skill tree video "this one's straight forward, this one's straight forward. thanks for watching"

[DVGMedia]

Time to correct jakey! Since thats my job on youtube :D

you don't need individual fires anymore for burning item sanity The game takes into account how many items are in a stack for the individual sanity modifier for burning items
individual burning items i think are also affected by how big the fire is The max is 10 x willows modifier.
But things like rope end up being only 6 sanity a minute per rope. So there is some variance there That I havent really looked into lol.

The spicy chili as well as all items that give the warm food buff are based when they are harvested from the crock pot. I havent really timed it on how fast it goes down but it does. And it also goes down faster if you put the item inside a fridge. You can refresh this by having multiple stacks of the crock pot dish and just separating one item from the stack and eating that one item.

Chance for ignite is based on mob only a few mobs have a lower chance to ignite compared to base most notable is spider queen at 25% chance to ignite.

The torch has a 100 percent chance while lighter has 50% While willows skill skill makes all these percents 100 regardless of mob.

Firestaffs actually do more damage compared to torches but for some reason break with willow and do standard damage. Her multiplier doesn't apply to the bonus damage firestaffs provide. hence why they seem the same as the torches and lighter.

Its nice to have the exact numbers for fire damage variance I did my whole fire video on guesses and trial and error so its nice to have that :D should have also done the fire variance for small medium and large fires on structures. too >:D

Burning frenzy now applies to willows spells now too so combining them with warbis armor spiced food and frenzy are the only ways to up your damage of spells.

Thats about all Ive seen. That really needed touching on for the guide. Here are some extra information you missed

The fire damage provided really is not much Its mostly just the crowd control that fire provides that is really what helps willow. Using the fire damage skill though does increase the fire damage dps cap from 120dps to 180 dps Which could be useful If you create enough individual fires for a mob to stand on and just take the fire damage. Pretty dang good for the 2nd and third phases of bee queen.


and just a personal note for showing ranges its better to use units since thats how its described in the code and each unit is equal to 1 wall placed.

[TheSometimeAfter]

I think the burning frenzy benefit is more the defensive aspect on non bosses. Having them not being able to attack you is potentially huge depending on your situation.

The problem is, outside of this reasoning it ends up just being more busy work for not much benefit

Lunar Fire: Damage in Area
Combustion: Literally the same thing

That's why I use lunar fire, it basically covers Willow with homing damage and against an enemy, instead of using two skills with the same proposal, of course some scenarios the lunar fire would be better but they are very specific
