Talk:Guides/Character Guide - Maxwell/@comment-174.89.154.14-20180825144207

Staying insane on Maxwell is as simple as having the correct configuration of shadows out. 2 warriors and a worker for example. Sanity regen at that point becomes irrelevant. Thus Maxwell's sanity regen loss in DST is a flat out nerf and is not both a pro and con as you suggest. It is a pity as being able to wield dark sword and shadow armor at same time in single player is what allows him to be a sufficient fighter. In DST it is possible to use them but only if gobbling sanity restoration items at same time. In that case however, any other character becomes a better choice to use these items on anyway. With his shadow warriors getting vaporized in a second or two of boss fights, unfortunately Maxell is better left logging/mining while others go boss fighting. You can have him stand at edge of screen and read books, but in that case you might as well just Wicker. Maxwell does have a mild benefit in early spelunking however.
