Choosing the right character in “Don’t Starve” can greatly impact your gameplay, especially when attempting a “Ruins Rush” strategy, which involves venturing into The Ruins biome early in the game to acquire valuable loot. Among the game’s playable characters, there is one who stands out as the most suitable for this challenge: WX-78.
WX-78’s unique abilities make him ideally suited for a Ruins Rush. As a robot, he is immune to the sanity-draining effects of the Ruins, allowing him to explore deeper into the biome without succumbing to madness. Additionally, his ability to consume gears and other mechanical items grants him significant stat bonuses, making him more resilient and powerful in combat against the challenging enemies found in the Ruins.
