Tips[]

• Using her Trusty Tape, she can effectively repair Clothing items where there are no Hounds. This makes her a useful asset when spelunking.
• Webber can easily supply Winona the Silk she needs to make her Trusty Tape, making its single use less of a problem.
• The Trusty Tape is especially useful for surviving tougher Seasons, as some clothing items used to delay Freezing/Overheating are not durable enough to survive an entire winter/summer season.
• Her increased crafting speed is also helpful when dodging or fleeing (e.g. being chased by a group of Spiders, Shadow Splumonkeys or Terrorbeaks). It's much easier to find the shorter time window to craft a new torch or weapon when dodging or in pursuit.
• The free hit from the dark refreshes each time one enters light, so using it a few special tricks are performable.
  • Torch swapping, or only holding a light only when absolutely needed becomes easier, and one needs to fear getting hit much less, one can even take the first hit and only hold the light when the second hit is about to come.
  • Because one can stay in the dark much longer, darkness is more of an opportunity for her to lower Sanity at much less risk than any other character.
  • If one is out of light or needs to find/craft a light source, the dodged hit from the dark compounds with her increased Crafting speed when above fifty hunger to allow more time to craft a new light source, greatly increasing the odds of survival in such a scenario.
• Winona's favorite food is Spicy Vegetable Stinger, meaning that she gains 15 bonus when the food is consumed.
