Erroneus I remember you

also give her flare a unic sprite

Maybe make it so mobs like moon rock penguills are nutral towards weleste

I tried adding this but I keep on disconnecting when entering world. do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Note: I tried this in offline mode.

any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

it wont be that bad if its little good

Thats strange, the staffs all worked before lol
I have some stuff i haven't released because I moved onto other stuff, maybe I should get that update out. Weleste is rlly hard to balance tho lol

yea i dont think the staffs work?

Doesn't seem to be working :C

The amount of work and the aesthetics of this mod are very cool! You can tell a lot of work went into it. Big kudos to the creator.

That said, I think she could really benefit from stronger downsides. Her damage ups and auras already make her stronger than pretty well every character in the game.


The no hunger, while thematic, kind of flies in the face of "don't starve". It'd be better if she had stronger sanity drains that required more management.

I think if she had more significant downsides it would feel more like her power was "earned" when played effectively. Some examples could be: She should be more affected sanity drain that needs to be managed to make up for her lack of hunger. It could even be compounding, like how walter losing health compounds into further sanity loss which can lead to more health loss.

I saw somewhere you wanted farming nightmare fuel to be viable on her, hence her damage mod is barely reduced (10%) at 0 sanity. Straight up I think 0 sanity should be %30 or more damage down. Characters like Wendy have a damage mod of -25% as a matter of course and have fewer upsides. I think her having something she sucks at would be GOOD. Like how Webber can't interact with most friendly mobs. or walter needs to avoid melee combat. it is don't starve together after all. and you should really feel that low sanity, it would make managing it more worthwhile. Defining roles is healthy character design imo, and restrictions make playing a character interesting.

I like the idea of having an "aspirational" character (like wanda on steroids) but I think her massive power level should come with equally terrifying downsides. It would make playing her optimally very rewarding, whereas right now she just seems like a power fantasy with no downsides.

weleste vs wrian the gamer

Oh yeah the glow was purely visual, I previously thought infinite charlie immunity while at high sanity would be a tad op but I guess 2.5x night drain balances that so yeah she actually glows now! Fixed the super meteor staff nuking you to death and made the super gestalt staff not work on bosses. Also dug into Wickers new sleep immunity code and added that yeah

Happy to see, friend! The sanity perk I was specifically referencing was the glowing. I noticed nothing of the sort come the night or darkness. Also, if possible, perhaps the insomniac perk should just be a 1-1 thing with Wickerbottom's new mechanic of just never being able to be put to sleep if Weleste isn't a fan of it. Other than that however, I am happy to give her another go soon!

Fixed healing at low sanity, staffs might need to get rebalanced soon I guess

the only bug (though major) i found so far is this: low sanity heals rather than hurts
but some balancing issues is the upgrade to the meteor staff kills you more often than not, and the upgraded gestalt staff is able to stunlock any sleepable boss.

still a bit bugged lol

@TheBeard777 yooo beard! According to my quick playtesting, her features seem to work fine, and I just released an update to make sure Gestalts ignore her. Made my day seeing your comment, cheers!

Hello there, friend! Very nice work and foundations for Weleste here so far! Caught my eye for sure! That said, some basic and quick playtesting has revealed that her sanity perks are not working, that natural gestalts are still targeting her and more. I think we might need to return to the code to clean some stuff up if at all possible. I would love to showcase Weleste on the channel however I don't want to mention multiple times that parts of her are broken. That doesn't send the best message, especially when the character itself sounds fantastic! Best of luck! I'll keep my eye out for an update!
