Um did you ever choose and ROMANCE Wenduag

[Amateur Nitpicker]

I mean I really tried but she is kinda ugly from the inside and out?... Like what?

can anyone give me "pros" on hiring her? like if its skills I can get it at a Merc
Like dialogue wise and ending wise? why is she better than Lann?

(Some would say that Wenduag is Less annoying than Lann)

Well, people have said that Wenduag's romance is actually very nice and surprising, never tried myself. While it is true that I find Wenduag to be much less annoying than Lann ... she's really not right in the head. She is submissive only because she thinks you're strong, but couldn't care less about you or anything than herself. She would throw ten "Yes Master" at you in a day only to plant a dagger in your back in the evening.
Skills wise gearing her with throwing weapons makes her powerful but Lann is a strong archer in his own might too.

I never pick Lann on good playthroughs, and on evil ones I take her at first but then stop after hearing her "YAaEeaEaeAA!" in combat too much times.

Wendy is great. Buildwise I keep her as a fighter but I build her around dual wield throwing axes. She's amazing at that and none of her starting build goes to waste. But if you have the last DLC she's also pretty great as a manticore shifter. Either way she's a machine gun of projectiles.

She is less annoying than Lann, but the bar is pretty low there.

Writing-wise, Wenduag sees the most developed character growth of all companions. Mechanical-wise, romancing her will make you immune to death effects, poison, and electricity (plus passive level drain capabilities for you) at a certain plot point. And aesthetically-wise, spider legs are way sexier than Lann's Two-Face cosplay.

I also can confirm her as being less annoying than Lann. Or Arueshalae for that matter.

Wendu is my bulldog. ^^

Almost indispensable in battle. Also does more damage than Lan as an archer. From an RPG point of view, of course, primarily suitable for evil MC's.

She never loves you, but she enjoys sex and is naturally submissive like a dog to strong leaders.

In my current run, I even had both on board, even as a regular cast. (Unfortunately only up to Savamelekh.) And yes, Lan and Wendu do indeed fight side by side, even if they constantly snap at each other.

Wenduag is wonderful. I agree with @Schlumpsha that she has the ability to grow the most. She is surprisingly nuanced and the VA gives stellar performance.

Mechanically, she is THE best archer in the game, assuming you didn't build your MC for it. Most of that is due to pure Fighter archer being the best archer. She comes online sooner that all the others and requires less support to excel. The first time I took Wendu, she sat on the back line executing the enemies.

And that assumes she stays Fighter. Due to the level you have access to her, she has supreme flexibility to do whatever you wan with. People speak highly of Manticore Shifter which fits her well. My favorite build gives her claws and bite, raises her base damage dice, and throws in a ton of Sneak Attack for good measure.

I dunno, I usually build her as 1 level fighter, 19 of Spawn Slayer throwing axe maniac. Gets pretty much the same number of feats, and Sneak Attack damage on top of that.

Personally, the romance with Wendu is actually my favorite in game. She has actually good points about the Mongrel's place in the world, and her philosophy has some merit. Plus, her interactions in regards to Ember are actually really good, especially the one between the two and Camelia at the Lost Chapel.

Overall, despite her evil nature, sticking it out with her through her romance is actually really rewarding in a narrative sense. You might want a guide for Act 4 and beyond though.
