Any changes/inaccuracies/something I missed will be listed here:
So, um, less than a week after I released this video, they released a beta which gave Wolfgang, Wormwood & Woodie Skill trees, like Wilson.. which means I'll have to make more character guides to account for that and they'll probably be adding skill trees to EVERY character! Despite that, the perks that the characters can gain through the skill trees are purely additive, meaning the base character is still the same as in this video, but with extra perks on top of the built-in perks, so this video is still relevant! :)
- Bunny men will not be aggressive if Wilson stores meat in his beard. (Normally they're aggressive when meat is in inventory/backpack).
- Willow doesn't lose sanity when using a fire staff.
- Willow takes more freezing damage than normal and loses sanity while freezing.
- Wendy doesn't lose sanity to ghosts (including teammates).
- Ghosts aren't aggressive toward Wendy.
- Wendy riding a beefalo allows the beefalo to gain Wendy's damage buff from Abigail (1.4x) without Wendy's initial damage debuff (0.75x), allowing the beefalo to do more damage than another character riding a beefalo.
- Abigail only provides light when she is level 2 & 3, level 1 does not provide light.
- Revenant restorative lasts for 8 minutes, not 16.
- With the right timing, you can hit the white section of the mighty gym twice per pass, generating 10 mightiness per hit (you have to spam click). Whereas hitting the gold sections twice per pass will generate 6.67 mightiness per hit (you don't need to spam click).
- The 1,200 DPS shown in the video can be increased to 1,320 DPS if Abigail was attacking the enemy as the vex would grant an additional 1.1x damage multiplier.
- Wickerbottom's Books "Lux Aeterna" & "Lux Aeterna Redux" do cause light to appear in the caves, same as overworld while also causing an earthquake.
- Woodie does not chop at higher efficiency, but Lucy does, woodie only has a faster chopping animation; this becomes relevant if Woodie uses moon glass axes.
- Webber's spiders that are following him do become untamed when Webber leaves the server, but wlll be tamed once Webber joins back.
- Cave spiders have 225 health, not 175.
- Winona's tape can be used to patch holes in boats.
- For Wormwood, growth formula nutrients cause blooming, compost nutrients restore health over time and manure nutrients restore health instantly.
- Wormwood takes more fire damage than other characters.
- Merm King starts with 50 hunger but has a MAX hunger of 200, so if you feed him to max hunger he will survive 10 days.
- Walter's ammo counts as a mineral, so can be used to mass produce slurtle slime cheaply.
- Melty Marbles do stack.
- Wanda does not get less drain from night armor when it soaks damage, but if you wear a helmet less damage sinks into the night armor so you lose less sanity.
- Elder Wanda drains less durability from staves.
- Middle-aged and Elder Wanda lose less sanity from using staves.
- Elder Wanda only works slower with a hammer (0.75x).

I think you made a mistake with Wolfgang. The best place to lift in the mini game is when the circle is in the white part of the bar. That gives 10 mightiness gain compared to 6.67.
1. Willow does not lose sanity when use fire staff.
2. Wickerbottom garden books also grows mushroom planters.
3. You can actually tend plants while reading books by one man band but it's not so useful
You also missed a small detail that Wormwood is more vulnerable to fire damage. Great video though!
For Wilson's skill tree, the additional branches don't need a tier 3 perk to gain the additional bonus perk from that tree, you only need to spend 3 skill points in that category to get access to the additional perk. And apparently, Warly and Walter can use Willow's lighter to cook on it in their inventory? No clue if this is true, so this may be misinformation and I haven't actually tested it myself. Great video though!
to farm time pieces as wanda it is much more effective to use construction amulets to mass produce alarming clocks and then use the clockmaker’s tools to deconstruct it. Gaining one time piece (effective 5 more thul fragments and 2 nightmare fuel), 4 nightmare fuel, and 1 marble. TLDR: make alarming clocks instead of thulecite walls 2:40:44
I like how Maxwell's title is "The Shadow Puppeteer" at first, but when Charlie places his piece on the board, he's "The Shadow Puppet" nice touch
:)
This is absolutely incredible, if by some miracle Jake sees this, I love this long-form content with DST.
Good to hear you liked it
@@Jakeyosaurus eyyy he replied, hes really a saurus!
Is that cat femboy maxwell!?
@@louisperry6138 howd I completely miss that lol
Catwell
The fact that you don't gain sanity for petting Woby is criminal, but as a balancing mechanic, I get it.
yeah like darkest dungeon lets you get sanity from petting the doggy, follow the example dst!
Just give it a cooldown
Good point, but I think it's already great enough that he doesn't lose sanity from wormholes!
When Wurt is on a boat when it breaks when she wakes up on land she will have all her items and will say "good swim" or something along those lines
True
I like how Wilson went from a template character to one of the hardest characters to manage.
Wait what
How? He's still the simplest
and now everyone's getting skill trees so soon enough he's gonna become the simplest again, comparatively
@@sammieslaterjr.8982not really since he'll still have some unique ability even if everyone get a skill tree ( i hope everyone will )
Yeah the ability to turn nitre into gold is super useful. From what I know nitre is just garbage. So turning it into gold is really good. Tho I am a newer player so uh take that in mind.
1:40:30 Webber's spiders actually do become untamed by disconnecting, there just need to be other players in the world. This means leaving your spider-hoard near the group base is a bad idea if you might not rejoin before everyone else.
thank u for this
I HAVE QUESTION, so if I don't leave the game, the spiders will stay with me forever? like NEVER leave me?
Yes
@@Jakeyosaurus Thanks! also warning you about the cringe jokes I just made...
It also depends on proximity to Webber. They need to be near Webber when Webber disconnects so they remain loyal when you reconnect. As long as the area remained unloaded (no other player passes by), the spiders will remain loyal. But should you, say, ride a beefalo and with your speed, manage to leave behind your spider army and then get disconnected before they get to teleport near you, then they will lose loyalty since they were far away.
another thing to mention, while all characters wear a garland, It restores 1.33 Sanity/min while worn, but in Don't Starve Together, Wurt loses 1.33 Sanity/min instead. If I am not mistaken. But Wurt can wear Seawreath instead, which restores 1.33 sanity, if any other characters wears Seawreath, they will lose 1.33 sanity. :D
Also, you can domesticate beefalo for Wendy. For some reason, if you're riding beefalo as Wendy and if you attack enemies affected by petals beefalo gets that 1.55x multiplier instead of 1.10x. Pretty good.
Guess it still counts as wendy attacking so beefalo gets full dmg mult
The beefalo thing proves that abigail is willing lowering her damage multiplier for the other survivers
riding beefalo so OP, it makes useless characters like Wes and Walter good
@@Psychopie0 beefalo is life and love
Also wendy and maxwell have good synergy with Beefalo
ΓΒ
Poor Walter. I feel like he needs a complete rehaul. It sucks because the gimmick of losing sanity equal to health loss is really cool!
I think reworking the slingshot would help a lot. It should be able to replace all melee weapons with the right ammo. Early ammo with stone should equal the dps of a spear, and so on with stronger and stronger weapons. He's clearly meant to be a character who avoids melee combat at all costs, but currently there isn't a reason to do that.
na killing birds with stone is OP
OR, we can be happy that he is a fun character to play, irrespective of how "badass" he is. This is a game, not a test.
Walter was made with team in mind, which negates most of his downsides
Jakey you forgot to say that Maxwell does not lose any sanity for holding the Dark sword, shadow reaper, shadow umbrella and from wearing the Night armor and the new Void rode and Cowl.
Wanda also is in the same boat with these items.
I believe with Wilson's Alignment perks, shadow affinity will serve more purposes in the future updates as there may be a large battle between the 2 sides
From the recent updates including the new shadow gear, that's probably more generally useful than lunar gear, so for future I'd probably go shadow, but both are good like I said. 😁
Wilson being able to transmute infused moon shards for the lunar bombs is more than enough for me.
@@mounirx3077 if a shadow gun is added it would be a more fair fight tho 🔫.
I think Wes is meant to be the distractor. He can just wander around and do nothing, while others do all the work... but he'll protect (or at least draw attention away from) other players
Wes may suck on solo mode, but on multiplayer he is at least mediocre
Its like what people say when running from something like a bear
"You don't need to be fast, you just need to be faster than the people you're with"
Also, he can give some help to his teammates with his various balloons contraptions.
Isnt every other character (except wanda) better at this?
@@solgerWhyIsThereAnAtItLooksBad Well, I suppose. But I think that Wes is kind of like a no-skill easy character in a way. As said in the video he has more chances of getting struck my lighting (this takes chances off of teammates) and some other passive things that help the team passively.
Watching this right now feeling the pain that Jaky is going to have to redo this video with updated skill tree info for each character
Yeah personaly I am excited for the wagstaff ds tree
I absolutely love Walter’s personality. His character alone being this goofy dork makes me want to play him more. Its so sad he is such an underwhelming character.
Amazing video btw. The effort it took definitely payed off
Walter is the Ranger. Rangers always suck. It's the rules.
😭@@CaptPoco
@@CaptPocodnd rule in a nutshell
But if we apply rule on other game example like one of the game that ever crossover with this game
Team fortress 2
Hem no bow are broken you are week at short range but op from long range
I disagree with your take on Wigfrid - because when I played don't starve for the first time it felt crushingly difficult, I couldn't do anything and survive past winter and dropped the game completely. But few years later I decided to give the game another go and playing as Wigfrid made me actually enjoy the game and be capable of not dying constantly and learning the mechanics like cold protection ect and now I fell in love with the game. So she can be really helpful for new players at the beginning because she is so easy, she helps to learn the fundamental of survival and first boss encounters
Same, I am suuuuuper new to this kind of game (i.e. not crosswords) and after dying so many times without even reaching winter I made myself play wigfrid just to practice fighting and kiting and hunting since I couldn't manage not to die too fast with any other characters. Jakey makes me laughcry whenever he says it's basically impossible to die with a certain character, because thanks J but I'll manage to anyway! I still haven't managed to survive a year yet and I'm trying other characters out now, but Wigfrid helped me make it to my first winter so I'm so grateful to her aaahahaha! I guess that's why her difficulty is a 1, especially to more regular gamers, so I think it's probably a fair take from one experienced gamer to other experienced gamers
I think the problem mainly stems from becoming a Wigfrid simp. It's ok to use her after learning all the mechanics, but to some this can be a double edge sword where they no longer want to play another character, because otherwise, the game becomes too hard.
yes but you could also channge the length of autoum and make there be more saplings and grass to get you started then decrese winter. this is how i got to know how to survive winter sping and summer without dieing as soon as i get to the new seson coz i didn't know what to expect
@@DarkOmegaMK2I play Wigfrid because of two things. One, i like the melee combat. Second, sanity. I mean, healing is great but i don't think it is too op (Pierogi exists). The problem is sanity. I tried playing Wolfgang but i was not for me. I had to constantly go for mushrooms and cactus. I guess it's because i like to tame a beefalo early on, so i have to stay in caves very often. Maybe some early easier options for sanity would be nice. The game is already too hard.
@@Precigian I don't get why taming a beefalo would get you to go in the caves. Like when I tame a beefalo I just give him cooked twigs and ride it everyday until success, nothing needed from the caves. And for sanity, really good players like aforementioned jakey will just be used to be on low sanity all the time (you can turn off some settings to make your screen less scrambled while insane and play normally) and periodically slay nightmare creatures when needed. For a while I didn't like being insane, so what I did that works with any character is either make a tent and use meatballs and sleeping to max your brain meter, and advancing in your game at a good pace i.e. prototyping a lot (even if it's some dumb shit like precrafting a sign) which will restore a lot of sanity. Else you can just make a top hat. Either way wigfrid is very fun and chill to play as you can just solve all your problems by beating the shit out of something
As someone who prefers ranged combat in games, I so desperately wanted Walter's ranged combat to be any good. If his slingshot just had a bit more range and a bit more speed, it would be useable. His damage = insanity mechanic encourages using his slingshot, but his inability to kill anything effectively and efficiently with his slingshot discourages it. Plus, Wobby is objectively worse than a beefalo in combat in every way, so she only has utility in the very early game.
Also, I can confirm that his intro is accurate to the Walter Play Experience (TM)
Just use Wolfgang with blow darts or learn to throw multiple boomerangs in sequence
Jakey, you forgot to mention that Wanda also loses less sanity with staves. She loses -50% when she's an adult and -75% when she's elderly.
Very epic gamer
Warly's Grim galette could be good for Wormwood since it doesn't 'directly' heal him so the stat-swapping effect still works. The eating animation is much shorter than Wormwood's healing fertilizer animations are, and Wormwood can always raise sanity quick by planting trees! Not to mention having a Wormwood on the team makes farming the two crops a breeze, and he has an easy time going insane to farm the nightmare fuel for the recipe.
I was expecting a short video when i was watching your ranking streams. Didn’t expect a full breakdown of every character. Very COOL and educational. I personally love these longer and nuanced videos. so if it doesn’t hurt the channel, I would like more of these. Thanks for making them.
Wes’ best use is dying for bone shards
Bone boulion 🍲😋
I feel so sorry for Warly and Wendy/Abigail. Their stories are so tragic and heart wrenching. oof
Webber beats them all for pathos.
@@princeofcupspoc9073Hell nah bro, Warly has seperation qnxiety and a mother who has dementia and cannot help herself, and Wendy probably saw the mutilated corpse of abigail on the spikes, and is actuvely suicidal.
@@hajimehinata5854 Nah man, Wendy is just a 13 yo Tiktok girl at this point
I feel more bad for Wurt tbh
@@Biditchoun Really? Why Wurt? Her's seems the most innocent.
This video does highlight Webbers lack of DPS compared to Wurt, I think a fun workaround would be to allow Webber to tame a Spider Queen with a boss part like Ancient Guardian horn, however only allowing 1 tameable Spider Queen
Walter's best playstyle is beefalo taming, you can tank all the damage without dropping any sanity.
Props, this videos is insane and somehow very fun and new to watch even multiple hours in
thanks for this video. I'm getting back into Don't Starve after taking a break for several years and it's awesome to see how much they've added to it over time.
This video is really well made but I also want to throw some appreciation at Klei for these animated shorts. They truly manage to make you feel for the characters without saying a single word.
Amazing video, I look forward to the future of this channel.
I haven't played DST for a few years, and its crazy how much the characters changed, makes me wanna hop back on DST to try them out!
A few small tidbits:
Wendy does NOT lose sanity from dead players on the server even if Ghost Sanity Drain is on, so Wendy cannot lose any sanity from ghosts
Shadow Prisons allow Wanda with an Alarming clock (or any character with a whip) to basically cheese Ancient Guardian or any of the terraria bosses with little difficulty (minus the Maxwell's part)
Although Willow is a great character for new players to deal with insanity... Do be alarmed as many DST players that play willow tend to burn anything within a 5 turf radius (sorry to all those Willow Mains who are really good... You just have a stigma to you)
And Wendy only needs a Garland, Top Hat, or Fashion Goggles to not have to worry about night sanity
Wurt your uncel
Absolutely amazing. Great to actively watch and great to listen to while doing something else. Amazing video big man.
This is amazing!!!! I've been looking for exactly this! With all the rework and stuff, I don't know how to play most characters in the game. This is really helpful.
Jakey, I'm following all your hard work through what you show on Twitch. Thank you so much for all your efforts and to bring us such quality content!
Thank you ❤️
After coming back to the game recently, figuring out how all the characters have been changed was quite daunting. Thank you for making this super informative video!
Ty for watching!
I’ve been waiting for this video! The first one was the first video I ever watched and got me into this channel! I’m so excited to watch this!!
Great video and I like how you added every character's cinematic intros when it's their turn.
Imagine making a 3 hour video, and I sat through all of it.. - Great content, very helpful and Yes, I also watch your boss runs 🔥
Thanks alot for this tier list I've needed this
I watched the whole video in my free time over the course of three days, not only was it informative, but also very entertaining, 10/10 video I will subscribe to
I literally just started playing and have been having a difficult time learning/memorizing about what to make and what characters do, but your guides have been soooo insightful! Thank you!
This is truly fantastic, the amount of time it must have taken to film and edit, honestly amazing I hope you are proud of this video because I thoroughly enjoy every second ❤❤❤
Wigfrid is easy to play as? but have you considered....I am a huge baby and I'm scared to fight monsters😢 I think shes a useful guide for how to fight monsters and to not be afraid of combat, without Wigfrid I would've never mastered kiting! Amazing video btw!!
Amazing video and very helpful as I’ve been away from DST for a while. Can’t wait to check out your other videos.
NICEEEEEEEE i recently just started, i watched the previous guide and wondered if there were any changes, the timingggg
Can't wait for Wes to get a skill tree that's gonna make him even more effective at sucking, like even harder aggro or faster balloon crafting or some shit
I can't imagine how much time and effort this took to put together. Amazing resource for new and, like myself, returning players! Thank you for the dedication, earned my sub for sure
Amazing video, thank you and your twitch chat for this hard work
This is incredible!! best 2 and a half hours Ive spent this week
This seems like a short, enjoyable experience to indulge myself in during lunch
Bro I was so hyped for this video even before it came out! 🎉
I think the CZcamsr by the name of Lardee[137 is the number I think] showed a way to fight bosses as the Weremoose by using Wigfrid's Regeneration Song, and if you beat BQ using that strat, you can use jellybeans to help the tactic A LOT.
Aaaaaa your voice is so soothing. I keep watching this video to fall asleep (not that its boring your voice is just so calming)
Sleep well my child
You’re the man, thanks for this. Great video
A thought that occurs to me after hearing you mention a couple of them in passing- I think it might be interesting to see a video that discuses all the common (and possibly some less common) synergies between characters, such as the Wickerbottom/Wanda that can make a rush on the Alarming Clock.
Idea's free, take it or leave it. Thanks for all the info!
The spider summary section said that cave spiders have 175 health, but they actually have 225 health. And in my case the chorusbox circuit gives +5 sanity in-game and IRL, it's even better when you have 2 equipped 🙂
Just started playing DS again and it always warms my heart to see how popular it still is ❤️ great vid congrats on the million views
I watched the whole video, I am very pleased. Just started getting into DST with my friends.
One thing you missed when calculating the maximum damage/dps setup is abigail's vex which, iirc, applies to other characters but just to a lesser degree.
i think klei should make all warly's exclusive dishes immune to his food memory, so there's actually a reason to make his other recipes.
Or at least make them have half or ⅓ of original penalty
I think it should be just like in Shipwrecked...
Waltuh.. stop making gold ammo, I need to build a science machine Waltuh..
Really appreciate this vid. I dropped off right around the start of the moon stuff and just came back, so all the new things are a little overwhelming.
1:25:32 i found the way he pushes the bird out of the way so funny
finally, i'm not the only one
For a game that rich in mechanic like DST/DS, nerd content like this is just a pure gem that should be embraced.
Jake! You majestic being. I'm so happy to spend another too much time with you.
Hope you are doing good mate.
Best wishes
there is nobody better than you in making such videos.
thanks a lot about all of them😘
Deerclops killing walter part laught me soo hard 😂😂😂 2:21:51 -2:22:06
Finally someone else comments about that.
I think Walter's dog might have storage spaces when Walter's player clicks on him. I'll have go back and watch the video more carefully.
Man this game changed a lot, haven't really played since the time we tried the new wolfgang rework, good times
thanks for telling more things about wilson, i love wilson, i use him since 2018, and im glad he got that amazing rework that makes him best character at the game
This is great, cause I've done a few runs of the game now, and it has been absolutely kicking my ass. Hopefully this video helps a little bit
So much effort has been put into this video. This is probably the best character guide out there now. How much effective hp does Wanda have at age 65? Also, why does teleportation alone make her a good character for long term basing? She has no advantage in resource production and gathering
80-65 = 15*2.5 =37.5hp, her teleports mean you can teleport everywhere on the map after you set it up and Bearger is a very good resource generator that any character can use
About the spiders de-spawning thing, they do, but only if there’s lots of spiders and the server is shut down. However, this doesn’t apply to switcherdoodled spiders. Also, Webber can easily destroy deerclops, you just need 2 campfires running
You sir have made it so much easier to understand this game and characters thanks a ton now I can play and not be lost
Yes I have been waiting for this
Actually the dumbell toss is pretty effective to kill fuelweaver's woven shadows
I feel like Wortox should be able to store a second stack of souls in a Krampus sack, but only one extra stack.
it wouldn't change much
@@Gabriel.570 It would change a lot both for how far he can teleport at once, and how much healing/food he can have on hand during boss fights
Great to see how successful your don't starve videos have been, but I'm still missing my favorite RS CZcamsr ❤
This video is incredible! Congrats
It's funny to think that I was watching your speedruns and all of a sudden I got a notification of your new video. 🤡💖
bro snuck in the clown emoji
45:53 This is a much bigger upside than you think. It basically doubles the time a food takes to rot, meaning that you need less overall food and can focus on bigger and more important things while spending less time gathering and making farms. I'd make his survivability an 8.
I'd also change his difficulty to 1, from personal experience
@@ellyvandenbrink5513 You basically only need 2 circuits, acceleration and super acceleration, and you can scan the creatures you need while being completely safe (rabbits can't attack and you can stay outside of the rook's aggro range while still scanning)
@@jakepeng9962 You go at 50% speed at all times so kiting is significantly easier
dude your inflection is Outstanding. its like. the inverse of one every person instinctively defaults to when giving a presentation, you know the one. Anyway I Love It keep the great work!!
I was not in a mood but then i see your video suddenly I'm happy now 💀❤❤
I’d like so much to see how you will defeat all bosses as Wolter
Feel like this one has the same issue as the old one where Utility feels really off, sometimes you give insane scores to characters who only do one thing really well 10, sometimes you roll things into utility that should be in combat etc.
Wow awesome guide and nice placement
Dude. I just watched that video a couple days ago. Now you're making another that's EVEN LONGER. HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THIS
Great explanation with all the characters!
Heres one for the future.
All of Walters ammo counts as a mineral.
I don’t think the video explained this(great video btw), but as Woodie, if you lose Lucy you can start chopping any tree with a normal (flint or gold) axe to turn that axe into Lucy
Like forgetting that full moon is about to start when holding the axe....
Been waiting for this video the moment the last rework happened 🔥
I haven’t played the game in a long time and like all of these characters are so much different from what I remember and I love that
As a Walter main, this video was like a shot through the heart.
Maybe it's because me and my group are less experienced with the game than most, but I feel like his unique toolkit and utility was somewhat understated. His ability to crank out dirt-cheap tents is amazing for maintaining the sanity of a large, spread out group (without listening to his stupid bugle voice all night), and his slingshot is amazing when it comes to clearing out nuisance mobs like frogs and tentacles without having to fuss with characters with higher setup times or costs like Wickerbottom, Winona, and Wanda. I also love using it to kill Gobblers and aggro Koalefants without needing to waste darts (boomerang exists but can be finicky) or waste time trying to corner them. He can also be good for ruins rushing as Woby is a great early-game movement option, both when looking for the initial sinkholes and once you actually get down there.
I know there are characters who can likely do all of these things better, but whenever I play Walter with a group, I feel like the leader of the group (at least until Webber or Wurt get the chance to set up). I agree that his downsides are a bit much, though.
As a Walter main i can confirm: We just play him because Wes is too easy
lol this. i started as walter and just never switched out, his playstyle is just the most appealing to me
I’ve never played any don’t starve games, but your video is so awesome and makes me really interested to play it!
Great vid, thanks so much! Helps newbies like me really get it :)
The fun thing about this game is that despite being able to argue about the objeticve worst or best characters, they can go up or down based simply on your opinion.
Like, I understand that for most people Wilson would be a 5 but to me he is a 10, I want to try Wurt and maybe Wolfgang but I always play Wilson because I love the freedom and versatily of not being hindered by any mechanics or disavantadges. For most people that might be boring but I really have no interest in other characters (beside those two that I might try).
There's characters for every playstyle and as much as I hate Walter there are pleople out there that main him either because they think he is good or simply because they like him, and thats how it should be.
1:09:30my favorit durability, willson
Think I just found the best dst video out there.
Dear Jakey, love this video with all my heart! I'ma need that varg farm at some point tho, yours looks much better than all the other ones I've seen on CZcams!
It is in the pipeline my son
@@Jakeyosaurus Thanks, dad.♥
I feel like walter is a lot better when playing multiplayer because well the other player kites and drawa the agto walter can just sit back and spam thir slingshot.
fun fact: the exact measurements of dmg for Shadow Courtier and Lunar Innovator perks are: Wilson makes you take less dmg from shadow-aligned creatures and do more dmg to lunar-aligned creatures by 10% (for Shadow Courtier). Vice versa with Lunar Innovator
i said this
whoops i am dumb
Jakey, I subbed to you years ago for RuneScape videos. I just picked up this game for my son and found you. So glad to hear your voice again man. You are one of my favorite content creators.
Hope you and your son have great fun together playing the game! 😊
this was the most helpful character guide ive ever seen
