Wolfgang, Willow, Wickerbottom, or Woody?

[Parrarow]

I am going to start shipwrecked for the first time and I would like to know which one of these guys, Wolfgang, Willow, Wickerbottom, and Woody, are the best for shipwrecked.

Personal I have really never played any of them in any version of the game. I go with wilson, walani, or webber. Webber is my fav but out of your options I would say wilow die to her sanity boost. There are almost no traditional ways to regeneration sanity except mushrooms or top hats which are only 3 a min. Sanity is a huge issue in sw fo me bc there is no tam o shanter so I have to use mushrooms but yea probably willow

sanity for me isn't an issue because you can eat a bunch of banana pops which is easy to make out of those 4 characters (depends on your style) id go with Woodie because very fast resource gain and the fact that most of the boats are made out of wood but you will have too hurry for a early base cause of fullmoon, most people pick Wicker cause of her being a science machine and since theres new crockpot foods that give lots of IQ/sanity she only has to worry about rotton food

[Darkred]

It depends of you, if you have problems with the sanity, i recomend you use Willow, because she can restore sanity easier that anothers, but remember, Willow starts a little fire when is nervous. If you prefer be careful with the health, its better Wolfgang because its the stronger of the 4 (In my opinion), the problem is that he needs more food of another.

Im a die hard wolfgang fan so I am gonna put an incredibly biased vote into wolfgang, but i'd say he is one of the worst in play. Food spoils fast since you won't be able to get gears quickly unless you get quite lucky, lots of moving around to get food which hurts him. Only upside is making the bosses a joke. Once I get my full suit of armor and ham bat, I get my hunger to full and just tank the bosses. Except sealnado but thats because sealnado is a douche.

Wes is the best

There is a distinct problem with Woodie. If the full moon comes up and you're sailing, or if you chop too many Mangroves while on a boat... You will drop your inv on the water, and turn into a beaver that is too heavy for the boat to support. So the boat breaks. Because you're a beaver you don't drown, you just wash up on the shore the next morning as a human with your stats low like from coming out of beaver mode. But all your stuff is still out there on the water, and if you were in water that is too deep for trawl net recovery then any items that don't float on the surface of the water are lost forever. (oops necro post sorry)

Wicker.
You can build a rowboat with a sail straight away which helps a lot early on.

Willow will start a fire on a boat and die, wolfgang will probably starve.
As for woodie, I have no idea what will happen if he transforms on a boat but you can probably cure yourself from poison by transforming which is alright I guess.

From your list wicker or wolfgang.
Best in shipwrecked is wx, without a doubt.

Willow has the worst sanity management in the game. Sure, she gains sanity near fires. But she has 120 max sanity vs. the 200 most other characters has and she can randomly set your base on fire if she has less than 50%, so effectively it's like she has 60 Sanity.

Also, once you get a base going, Sanity is very easy to restore in Shipwrecked. There's tons of crockpot recipes that fill 20-33 sanity.

Caviar (1 roe, 3 seaweed) gives 33 sanity.
Banana Pop (1 banana, 1 ice, 2 twigs) gives 33 sanity AND 20 health.
Surf n Turf (1 big meat, 3 fish) gives 33 sanity and a whopping 60 health.

Surf n Turf in particular is very easy to mass produce by setting up a few Fish Farms, which can you give you fish indefinitely without any actual work.
