Don’t Starve Together Lady Wanda Guide – In this guide, I’ll share some tricks you can do with your favorite clockwork Wanda.
Don’t Starve Together Lady Wanda Guide
Cheat death with an ageless watch
Unlike other characters, Wanda does not take damage immediately.
Attach a key to your ageless watch to save yourself from massive damage.
I recommend either using a reverse watch or a lazy explorer to teleport away first if you can, as the animation can be canceled on hit.
You can make flesh dummies and eloquent hearts with essentially no health penalties.
This allows you to eat harmful foods like Monster Meat with less damage.
Note that the ageless watch will not heal you if you are freezing, starving, overheating, or in acid rain conditions.
Wanda’s favorite food is probably the best favorite food in the game
Not only do you get 15 extra hunger from Taffys, but you don’t get a damage penalty AND it’s healthy food (15 sanities)
Recipe: 3 honey + twigs / 4 honey
Stats for Wanda: 40 Hunger 15 Sanity
Stats for other survivors: 25 hunger 15 Sanity -3 Health
You can use the Rift watch to teleport heavy objects
Thanks to this, you don’t have to travel every time you want to take with you, for example, lunar crafting stations or clock movements.
Note that it will cost 1 purple gem per item, which may be too expensive at first, so it’s better to tame beefalos for the clockwork 🙂
Use 2 back watches
Use not one, but two of them and attach them to a convenient key to dodge more efficiently.
Alternate between them 🙂
You can also add 1-2 bone armor for even more protection.
This proves to be useful in the Armored Bearer fight.
Quick alarm clock
You can get the alarm in 8-10 days if you hurry with the shadow manipulator
This is the most effective way to speed up the alarm clock:
Get the silk and craft a tophat
Make traps and catch 4 rabbits
Make a Prestihatitator
Dig graves for red and blue gems and craft the purple gem at the prestihatitator (you can also kill the bishop for the purple gem if the set exists)
Find perfectly normal trees and kill them for 3 live logs, exactly the amount you need. (You can also kill the mushy sprites in the Lunar Grotto)
Get 4 marbles from the statues.
Collect 15 Nightmare Fuel for Shadow Manipulator and Alarm Clock (you can reduce your sanity with green mushrooms or wormholes)
Craft the Shadow Manipulator (7 Nightmare Fuel, 3 Living Logs and a Purple Gem) and Wanda’s
Alarm Clocks (4 Marbles, 8 Nightmare Fuel and 3 Clock Pieces)
!Note that this means you won’t have a countdown clock or an ageless clock since you only start with 3 clocks.
But of course, you can always craft more pieces with thulecite fragments.
A safe way to do this is to find the ancient archives and break the thulecite walls, as the ruins can be too dangerous with only one ageless clock.
Use other weapons as well
Shadow reapers or dark swords are a great alternative for Wanda, as the old Wanda deals more damage with shadow weapons.
Alarm Clock’s attack speed is 15% slower than melee weapons but has 4% more damage per second than the Dark Sword when used by Wanda.

Young: deals 68 normal damage;
Middle Age: deals 68*1.2 = 81.6 normal damage;
Old: deals 68*1.75 = 119 normal damage.
Against planar mobs:
Young: deals 4*[√ (68*4 + 64) – 8] = 41.32 normal damage;
Middle Age: deals 4*[√ (68*1.2*4 + 64) – 8] = 47.03 normal damage;
Old: deals 4*[√ (68*1.75*4 + 64) – 8] = 60.95 normal damage.
Against regular, dissenting mobs:
Young: deals 81.6 normal damage;
Middle Age: deals 81.6*1.2 = 97.92 normal damage;
Old: deals 81.6*1.75 = 142.8 normal damage.
Against planar mobs:
Young: deals 4*[√ (81.6*4 + 64) – 8] = 47.03 normal damage;
Middle Age: deals 4*[√ (97.92*4 + 64) – 8] = 53.39 normal damage;
Old: deals 4*[√ (142.8*4 + 64) – 8] = 68.81 normal damage.
Against regular, dissenting mobs:
Young: deals 38 normal damage + 18 planar damage = 56 damage;
Middle Age: deals 38*1.2 normal damage + 18 planar damage = 63.6 damage;
Old: deals 38*1.75 normal damage + 18 planar damage = 84.5 damage;
Against Lunar Mobs (10% more normal damage):
Young: deals 4*[√ (38*4 + 64) – 8] *(1+10%) normal damage + 18 planar damage = 47.47 damage;
Middle Age: deals 4*[√ (38*1.2*4 + 64) – 8] *(1+10%) normal damage + 18 planar damage = 51.87 damage;
Old: deals 4*[√ (38*1.75*4 + 64) – 8] *(1+10%) normal damage + 18 planar damage = 62.73 damage;
Against shadow oriented mobs:
Young: deals 4*[√ (38*4 + 64) – 8] normal damage + 18 planar damage = 44.79 damage;
Middle Age: deals 4*[√ (38*1.2*4 + 64) – 8] normal damage + 18 planar damage = 48.79 damage;
Old: deals 4*[√ (38*1.75*4 + 64) – 8] normal damage + 18 planar damage = 58.66 damage;
Create portals anywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE
Wanda’s greatest strength is undoubtedly her ability to establish portals anywhere on the map, even in caves.
You will NEED 4 Mac Tusk Camps on your map to craft a back trek watch (you get 1 or 4)
I recommend regenerating the world if you get 1 tusk camp on your map.
You can use the method below to distinguish the portals.
Klaus cheese (no lure plant)
The range of the alarm clock allows Wanda to kill Klaus with a punch and backflip without Klaus being able to use any moves.
When he’s in phase 2, use backstep to avoid his dash attack 😀
You can stay on the ship and hold F if Klaus’ bag is near the water.
Survive indefinitely in the dark
By using the back watch continuously, you can survive indefinitely in the dark.
The ageless watch could also be used for a small amount of light resetting Charlie’s timer.
Sanity for your friends
Wanda does not suffer the maximum health penalty from drowning or items like the Telltale
Heart or using a Florid Poster to revive.
This means your companions can gain sanity by reviving you without any penalty 🙂
