New META Solo Tier List - Don't Starve Together 

Now he's boring and hard.

​@@pisiwastaken1514not really ya gotta be bad for him to be bad. Gears is easy healing, only char gets 25% speedboost day 1, only char to get 50% speed by day 5-8, great for speedruns.

@@caoinhnamkhanh2795 well, speed is useless when you can't have 400 hp and free light along with it

@@pisiwastaken1514 boss rushes do need speed, and lightning cant be forced early on. Speed circuits are available before day 5 if you know how to play wx well. Not here to say old wx wasnt easier, hate the awful design and braindead nature of him is all. He now requires, s k i l l.

@@caoinhnamkhanh2795 he requires finding a rook. Thats it

As wormwood,woody and Wolfgang have gotten a skilltree system in a new demo build, I would assume everyone is getting one I hope this will make all characters valuable

They should nerf all circuit bonuses early game and allow for late game upgrades with lower socket requirements. This way it allows players to mix and match a variety of circuits and makes for a better feeling progression. Probably what his skill tree will look like in the future.

I also find woby to be underwhelming with her just being a second chester. Allowing walter to command woby to do things like gather resources or something would be fun.

i hate the fact that Maxwell's only downside is literally completely negated by a Beefalo that you will tame anyways. And early on you just craft a log suit and just play as if you are Wilson and ignore hits.

I hate how Maxwell can become Maxwell + Wickerbottom.

@@antynomityhe has a huge sanity drain when he reads wicker’s books tho

​@@giorgiodiena221so free nightmare fuel? For the character which benefits the most from nightmare fuel...

You could make Wes more trolling like.. Ability to create an Invisible box (#Mime) and then he cannot be damaged by doing so but cannot perform any other actions while casting the box. I think Wes should be a bit more fun to play right even for challenge char xD

Willow, ability to IGNITE Large Bernie into Enraged Large Bernie for DPS boost. Ex. faster attack 1.5x to 2x with the same damage, and maybe boosting his HP further by 500. Perhaps it could drain Bernie's HP slowly until death (0%) where he doesn't burn up, so a Sewing kit would fix it. This would add some boss fighting capabilities. Also having multiple willows only activate one Bernie, I think it's a downside of duplicating a character... but I would imagine multiple large Bernies are quite overpowered.

Agreed on Woodie Hunger values, it's a very detrimental effect of being in the Were form. I dislike that Maxwell outperforms the Woodchopper extremely easily, even with Werebeaver form. Woodie is not the character it used to be with Maxwell being this OP. Dropping your equipped items and not being able to access your inventory is also very detrimental. It really makes it a hard character to pilot. If Weremoose does not get a movement penalty he would already be a better fighter in general, cause the slowdown makes him weak and since you can't tank forever or eat healing items.. Kiting is really the only thing you can do... so perhaps remove that... However I got a good idea now, give them the ability to eat from the FLOOR. Why? Drop Pierogi and such on the floor, so you can heal midbattle while fighting it would actually help Woodie quite a bit, if they couldn't already cause then you can actually plan your fights. So yea, I agree Beaver should gnaw faster or deal more "harvesting dmg", Goose no idea... and Moose, remove or reduce movement penalty.. and all around. Don't drop equipped items and eat from the floor would also help Woodie a bit.

​@@Paladjin Ooh, Burning BERNIE! sounds like an incredible idea. I think I like it better than the craftable spider-like Bernies in my initial idea. A minor tweak: I think an ignited BERNIE! should deal more damage and attack faster, as 50 dps is still pretty low. I'd go for 100 damage and inflicting burn every 1.5s, it's attack is slightly stronger than a dark sword (133.33 dps + ~10 burn dmg/s = 143 dps vs 136 dps) and puts him on a timer of no more than 200s, allowing it to blitz through non-raid bosses while still allowing normal BERNIE! to be useful vs raid bosses.

He is the most powerful character combat-wise, but since he lacks gathering abilities along with a lot of preparation and knowledge needed early on makes him a non-newbie friendly character, but that's perfectly understandable, since he has stunlock, infinite healing and extremely high dps without weapons.

Ah yes woodie the used to be early game log farm now better at farming than bearger can fly can face tank D-fly Claus and more able to summon an army free walking canes and more def a good skill tree lol

he is a secret wendy main confirmed.

Tan cierto pibe

Brightshade staff thing was patched out already

yeah why would anyone ever use the flint and nitre transmutations when petrified trees exist lol

@@caoinhnamkhanh2795 I just tested and it does still work, sort of. It appears to trigger on cast and on the first bounce as opposed to on cast and every bounce.

@@Arcwell_ thats the whole point i was makin. The staff potentially had a niche use but then klei made it garbage again

@@caoinhnamkhanh2795 It's still twice as effective at triggering Wigfrid's ability than any other weapon, I wouldn't call that garbage.

Maybe in the form of a melee weapon?

​@@janikesina7813i always put looting III on my dark swords, that helps a lot

Just use a Ornery Beefalo.

I love my man Maxwell but kiting Klaus suddenly goes from pretty easy to torture when minions get involved, especially duelists…

​@cosmicpotato3849 i am main Maxwell let me give u a tip. Lock all then hit the Klaus wait foe him get out of the cage. Summon dual right under him to target lock. Hit him when u can but mostly lock the 2 deer. I actually kill as fast as when I play Wolfgang. And when my brother joined whe kill every bos in less than 2 min

The only reason I have to play with him is his personality along with woby👍 Ps: He along with Warley and Wilson are my favorite characters.

I feel like wormwood is extremely underrated and here is why: 1.He's got a stack of 1/3 of a jellybean (Compost Wrap) by going to the caves and picking up 280 lightbulbs (it takes around 2 in-game days to do it) and mining 40 nitre (around 2 gold pickaxes in the mosaic or rocky biome and 2 days), which is already better cost-efficient and lasts for around 350 days. It's easier than killing the beequeen, which requires plenty of resources and strong character or DAYS of farming for spices and character swapping. Okay, but wendy can kill bee queen easier than the other characters and more cost-efficiently, so compared to wormwood she IS better. You can say that eating food is just better than healing with a jelly bean, but we all know that for long phase bosses the long-term effect if extremely valuable and can save your life, especially in hound attacks/frog rains/brightshade invasions etc..; 2.The most powerful stat in this entire game is movespeed, I bet you know the difference it makes when getting the walking cane. Wormwood has a 20% movement speed PERMANENTLY because of the Compost Wrap rush, which makes killing 90% of the bosses easier. And if you don't want to waste heals you can always craft living logs which are a PAIN to get with other characters. Also, taking the gloomer on the first moon ALREADY makes it permanent blooming stage because of the perfect max blooming time with the gloomers goop drop which can be consumed for blooming. On spring you get 20 days free, and in the late game you can use fermented growth formula starters which makes blooming maximum stage last for 6 days instead of three; 3.Just a Tent or a Siesta-lean-to can give you enough living logs for 800 days objectively; 4.Not having to care about lureplants, bees, sea weeds and weeds in general IS something that can be use to an insane advantage, specifically in base building areas. Like in the caves for example, since bananas are his favorite food and red mush biomes are basically carrot biomes, and those alternative options WILL make for an easier time considering gathering recources and building your base, scalling like a snowball in the late game when used the right way. Or the lobster + sea weed combo that I did which made for a very specifically and unique way of expanding your base building options since my world didn't have any good wormholes. Not having to wait for the night to harvest sea weeds IS time-efficient and should be consider as you can stack more food quicker then most alternatives; 5.Being able to eat raw monster meat in dangerous situations without ANY deficit since he can plant and gain sanity is an awesome underrated perk and has saved me more than twice; 6.The infinite dark sword farm with the PERFECT sanity control that he has makes for objectively THE best sanity control user in the game (a shovel can give you more than 200 sanity by simply digging and placing the same thing on the ground such as a sapling) and makes farming for shadow creatures super easy; 7.He has a blooming protection in summer which is noticeable and can help you to never ever die from overheating just by standing below a tree; 8.He has the super cheap bramble husk, which makes picking cactus and spiky bushes (that grows in winter and don't wither in summer) damage-free. Also having around 20 Area of Effect damage x3 when fighting lots of mobs at the same time. It's good for shadow monkeys, I usually make paths in the ruins attracting all the monkeys to a single spot and using aroung 40% of a thulecite crown + 80% of a bramble husk to kill all of them in less than 5 seconds since the shield from the crown protects you but still activates the AoE damage, not having to rely on winona's catapult or houndius shootius is awesome on that spot. Another example is the Ancient Fuelweaver fight, where you don't need weather pains for it, I just rush the 6 shadow hands and tank him on the spot, making for a longer window of time to hit him (sometimes it seems I can kill him quicker then most characters because of it); 9.Here is one the biggest reasons why wormwood is so underrated, the bramble trap. You can make Splumonkey farms, Hound farms, Bunnyman farms, Mactusk farms, Frog farms, Tallbird farms, all of that using stingers and living logs. It simply makes the game 10x easier once set-up; I know that he's not the best character, and I know that many of the things I said could be done using normal ways already, but Wormwood does it indirectly better if you manage understand the way the character works by minmaxing it. I have more than 2k hours in the game and atleast 100 hours with each character, specially wanda which is my favorite one. But what impressed me was the possibility of things I can do with chars such as Wurt and Walter as well. I feel like those characters are only really appreciated after hours spend playing it. Also, I didn't even mentioned his farming abilities because they are honestly useless imo. The only good use for seed is to spam them on the ground as soon as you get them so you can have free random food around the map whenever you are. Besides all of that, he is definetly an A tier for me ONLY because of the movespeed buff.

@@swiyss i am impressed by how little i knew about him despite already enjoying his infinite Dark Swords and an abillity to run extremely fast with a cane. Anyways you can also get dirt cheap healing by literally crafting a few compost bins once, and putting excess resources into them.

How often do you really hop between say the ruins and elsewhere anyway? I started out as a Wanda main but managing old Wanda became a hassle so then I switched to Maxwell as a main. The best thing about Maxwell is you will be rewarded for the long-game and for the effort you put into it. If you go Beefalo into ruins rush and right into AFW then you become a demi-god. That said I've started to main Webber and it's much easier to play him on console in co-op for me. It really doesn't hurt that you can get end-game Webber before the winter even begins and you can totally just bring some nurse spiders and be on a War Ornery beefalo and that's still good enough versus most raid bosses (Especially in co-op).

Yeah you're not the only one, it's just that "pros" are addicted to making a ton of farms very early on and crumble under healing stuff, whereas a normal player doesn't. Most people don't boss rush or set-up super elaborate farms, they just play and enjoy the game normally, and for them a tent is great as it's cheap and only requires hunger which is easy to manage.

@@dwight3555 well I mean I suppose since I don't really make many farms but I would consider myself pretty good since I was able to do a boss rush of ancient guardian bee queen and dragonfly by day 23 but I still find sleeping more effective making a tent or especially a lean to is cheap and if you waste your time gathering resources for like a pierogi you get way less health than say a meaty stew and sleeping like the time it takes to get stuff like vegetables and extra meat and eggs and all that just isn't enough to make up for sleeping for me

Just eat a few pierogies. It’s way quicker

@@giorgiodiena221 it's not

@@giorgiodiena221 and I wanted to heal using food I would use tall scotch eggs anyway way more effective and efficient hunger wise especially since I kill tallbird for big meat anyways idk why people like pierogi so much it's ok for healing in boss fight but honestly I just find it easier to use stuff like healing salves they very easy to make are little out of your way don't spoil so you can amas them and always have em ready pierogi are overrated in fact healing foods are overrated

That doesnt justify being s tier a all light is easy with celestial crown or never removing altar for permanent full moon,his only significant advantage is speed which i agree i enjoy a lot but comparing to S tier he is very lacking

@@fuokir2305 fair enough, but my real point was the inventory space that you save when you dont have to worry about lanterns/moggles, or even a walking cane (if you have a diff speed boost). for me, quality of life is a huge factor in how i score you, and no matter what you do, inventory is always lacking

I played a Fuelweaver rush with him and man Wormwood is really underrated, for boss healing you only need jellybeans and batbat, and for how easy wormwood can kill Beequeen I really feel like he should be at least in B tier

@@leoelfo304 it's also dirt cheap to heal with him, you can literally put a stick into a compost bin and you get 8 hp. His only issue is that the animations take a ridiculous amount of time. Wormwood is so much fun when you learn how to play him, which is something you don't really feel with other characters as they either have bad downsides with little payoff(Walter, Woodie, Willow) or no downsides with major payoff(Wolfgang, Maxwell, WX). You are actually get rewarded for playing the game well, but still have to consider his downsides. While Wolfgang starves 25% faster when you kill everything 100% faster.

What the other guy said, the skill ceiling for the character is a valid concern. Recently tried to play on a private server with a friend, im still relatively new and he was brand new. It was a constant struggle to even keep him fed, we hardly had time for anything else.

@@nishcheta885 He's definitely S-Tier for very good players imo. Setting up a voltgoat farm requires getting lunar island pretty early for example and requires an understanding of some fundamental game mechanics (like off-screen farming, spawn points, locating lunar island and getting there etc.)

@@nishcheta885keeping him fed isn’t too difficult when you learn his quirks. He remembers food for 2 days and has 250 hunger. Just eat every couple days as warly but eat in bulk. Repeating a dish 1 or 2 times isn’t that big of a penalty but resets the timer so you can either eat 3 meatballs when your hunger is low and when you need to eat again in 2 days you can just eat 3 more

I would say the opposite, he punishes players way too much for getting hit once(bro loses all his sanity if he loses 20 hp), on top of the slingshot just sucking really bad.

@@dumbvillage9253 Yeah I know, but thats what I mean, thats why I say he is only decent at 1 boss. Its very specific.

You contradict yourself instantly, no new player will figure out CC without figuring out that there are much better ways of dealing damage in the game.

@@antynomity Well yeah, but like, as is, Walter doesn't do much except provide a free sluggish beefalo so I imagine it would be easier to assemble everything. However, if you made it to CC, more than likely you got there via cheese methods as a new player.

how would a new player get all the way to the celestial champion without learning how to kite stuff like cc

Wendy with beefalo, yes. Maybe S tier.

@@lks19 No, just Wendy as is. She isn't S-tier but she is easily A-Tier if you know how to manage Abigail properly.

Can i get the names of the mods?

They are in W tier

@@tiqosc1809 🤨 why tho

He already has no downsides tho

He's already broken as hell.

Tell me one single reason to play him other than 9 free chess slot and slower beefalo

This will be too op

LOL
