Hello, only walter main ever here. Heres some tips that ive learned from playing walter a lot: I recommend using body armor with the pioneer hat when going into more difficult fights. From my experience you don’t usually need the extra slots provided by a backpack anyway, and having the pioneer hat means you’ll need healing food before you need sanity. Id still recommend a helmet for the day to day though. Want to get your sanity down? Just stand in the darkness for a little bit, charlie does 100 damage, so youll instantly go to 0 sanity. Alternatively, walter loses 55 sanity if you eat monster meat. Want to gain sanity? Make sure you’re at full health and then just, walk around. Do stuff that doesnt require you to fight anything. Youll always be gaining sanity whenever your around trees, and while it doesnt seem like much, remember that trees are literally everywhere, and its not like youll be losing sanity. Please please PLEASE dont use the slingshot for general combat. You dont need the slingshot to deal with regular spiders, you can literally stunlock one by just punching it. Slingshot is better used as a secondary tool to help in more specific fights, like how you wouldnt use the weather pain as a primary weapon, but it sure helps a lot on fuelweaver. Even though you have woby, you can still use chester. If you want, you can carry literally everything you need for a base in your back pocket. Anyway yeah he totally sucks. Bee allergy is completely pointless. Updates have made him even more obsolete, since they’ve added ways for other characters to do things that only walter could reliably do originally. Hopefully the walter update is good
If they can increase the fire rate of his slingshot he can potentially be a viable pick. At the very lest give people a reason to play him, like how winnona's skill tree gave me a reason not to just swap and place down catapults. (I will say they should've made it so she can teleport other players)
The mini-shadow tentacles can only hit twice, you can see it at 7:24 which means that it's a 50% chance for an extra 68 damage per pellet. Walter will always lose health if his health is not at 100%, it just scales linearly and doesn't show up until a certain threshold. His sanity drain from not being full health is reduced by 75% when wearing the pinetree pioneer hat. Walter can still gain sanity overtime from magic items, namely the Enlightened crown. Walter gets +6sanity/min (Tam o' shanter is +6.67/min) sanity boost from being near 5+ trees, which can be replicated in a base very easily. This extends to mushtrees and even Toadstool's sporecaps. The leniency of these requirements make Walter arguably better off than if he could benefit from clothing since his head slot is free for an item like a beefalo hat. It also slows down the sanity drain of not being at full health by 50% (doesn't stack with pinetree pioneer hat). Cursed rounds are by far the best ammo as they are in reality quite cheap in the sense that they, unlike marble, don't take much time or going out of your way to make. Cursed rounds require thulecite fragments and nightmare fuel which are a material that basically nobody cares about and an easy-to-farm resource respectively. Marble on the other hand, is annoying to grow and renew and requires an insane amount of time and effort to mine considering that you're manually mining it with a pickaxe or blowing it up. They are by far his best ammo. Gold rounds are bad because 34 damage is terrible, gold in reality isn't hard to get a lot of. But in general you're better off not using the slingshot for damage. Also, what damage boosting items? There's only late-game options to boost your damage or Warly's volt goat jelly which also applies to the slingshot. Woby will only buck you off if you take a collective 8 damage in the span of 5 seconds, which means that you can wear higher damage reduction armor to make the damage required from 8 to 160. Walter's appeal to me is the convenience that I get from playing him, being immune to things like sanity drain from holding a wet item, immune to sanity drain from something like a night light, extra inventory space and being able to move the shadow pieces without a beefalo are things that are always overlooked. I don't think character choice really matters in multiplayer, as the fact that you're several players on a server far overshadows what your character is for the most part. People should just really keep an open mind about Walter, for me, his character writing, design, and perks are very entertaining and I'm always disappointed to see how ragged on he is.
I'd argue Walter is a more fun version of a challenge character compared to Wes. While he sacrifices Wes' stricingly good looks, he feels less vanilla, which is nice and has the regular work speed. I'd say his sanity downside is worse than having 75 health and hunger too.
@@thedistinguished5255and there's Maxwell who can use a beefalo better, have a better portable chest, can agro neutral mobs too and better at combat, and basically at everything else
Tip: Walter is a free gold engine, because he can use the gold to make the gold, by killing birds to get morsels, to then trade to the pig king, to then either make more gold rounds or keep them for tools. Also, by proxy they can be a easy Krampus farmer. These 2 things are my favorite things about Walter.
@@LimeLichenif i remember correctly, the drop rate for meat is 50%, meaning on average youll get 5 meat from 10 gold rounds, which means you are quintupling the gold
Slurtles eat the poop pellets and give you slurtle slime. An almost entirely free gun powder alternative. Glow Bulbs fed to Werepigs is the best route.
I think there is. Considering Walter's disadvantage and struggle with sanity upon taking damage, bees are honey and honey is an easily obtainable source of sanity food. Honey Ham a day would keep Walter's small tummy full and Jelly Bean are just great source of healing. This along with him not being interested in fashion and not benefiting from sanity-restoring items, pushes Walter players to seek other sources to restore sanity and health (e.g. by sleeping).
@@deathboitechnobladeneverdi7918 By making him alleric to bees instead of honey, Klei gave players the option. You can go search for honey and fight bees, but it's going to be a little bit more challenging than for most characters. If they made Walter allergic to honey, they would just force him to use the alternatives. Honey is great and Walter can still benefit from it, so I'm happy about it.
@@deathboitechnobladeneverdi7918 Making Walter allergic to honey would limit players' choices. In my opinion Klei pushes Walter players towards alternatives, but not forces to use them. Honey is still relevant, although more challenging to get.
How it feels to play waler (wow i can move the set pieces then i can use my useless slingshot that does no damage) How it feels to play anyone else i can rush ruins day under 20 days (Yes that includes wes)
@@LimeLichen like Walter rn Is the worst character in the game for new players And pro players He has to Middle ground also his takes more damage from bees i have one question for klei why why theres no Reason the only Reason to add that debuff Is So Walter gets murdered by bee queen cuz Tell me when you gonna fight bees?

I respect you for enduring this character.

yeah it was bad, I almost never used the slingshot.
If Klei don't wanna give him a skill tree in the next major update, we're cooked
Waltuh needs his blue crystals
they should add portable meth lab for this character
Woby, we need to cook 😎

@CatCatuna NONOBO PLSES IM SORRU FOR UPSETTING THE WRATH OF THE WALTUH MAINS

I guess that's a way to put it! I am way less positive :D
Tip here, walter is at his strongest when you are on a beefalo, because that denies most of his downsides and gives you a very strong meelee option
That kinda defeats the purpose of having woby, Still having to waste time to make him feasible combat wise
at that point you are playing as a beefalo than walter
@@tiqosc1809 you still have a tent, slingshot and free chester tho
@@thedistinguished5255and there's Maxwell who can use a beefalo better, have a better portable chest, can agro neutral mobs too and better at combat, and basically at everything else
@@thedistinguished5255 im not saying hes entirely useless, but compare to the rest of the team, his providence to the team is just to minimal
It’s too bad he sucks so much his character concept is a great fit for the game. I hope his skill tree gives him a major glow up.
that's all we can hope for 😞
Tip:

the problem with that is you aren't guaranteed to get a meat drop everytime you kill a bird. Just more RNG
@@LimeLichenif i remember correctly, the drop rate for meat is 50%, meaning on average youll get 5 meat from 10 gold rounds, which means you are quintupling the gold
@thedistinguished5255 on average, RNG is not reliable unless repeated a lot. You might have to shoot 1000 shots before you actually get 50/50.oddw
@@LimeLichenbut that means that you just farm thousand feathers for darts. YAPEEEE
@@LimeLichen yes, that's what "on average" means

Pooopppp

Waltuh put yo Hambat away Waltuh

Sanity machine kid, free sanity for everyone
the sanity is so slow that you might as well hug gloomer
playing Walter brought me nothing but joy (im loosing my mind)
I think we all did
We miss you, lazypurple.
I have been re-incarnated
Walter is worse than wes when It comes to boss rushing i hope his skill tree fixes him
Awesome vid! I’m surprised to see a small channel with great audio and nice jokes. Keep up the good work!
*Gasp* Don't be shocked!! Sometimes we just aren't noticed for our skill :( thank for u compliment

There is no reason why walter has to be allergic to bees 😭🙏
