WX-78 is able to eat stale and spoiled Food without the related penalties, though is not immune to all Food penalties (such as eating Monster Meat). This allows them to stockpile food for increased lengths of time.

WX-78 may consume Gears to recover 60 Sanity Meter.png 75 Hunger Meter.png and 50 Health Meter.png per item. Upon death, they will drop anywhere from 33-50% of the gears they've ingested during their life (rounded down), up to a cap of 40.

WX-78 has half the aggro range from Clockworks and Damaged Clockworks. For instance, the Clockwork Rook's normal range of 12 meters will be reduced to 6 meters towards WX-78.

Additionally, being struck by lightning will drain 33 Sanity Meter.png and restore 100 Health Meter.png.

Charge Meter

The Charge Meter, depicted holding 5 charges, with the topmost circuit inactive due to its pin not being charged yet.

WX-78's main perk takes the form of their charge meter situated on the right of the UI. It slowly refills with charge over time. The meter has 6 bars where circuits can be plugged into, taking anywhere from 1 to all 6 of the bars depending on the circuit. Once the circuit's bars are filled, the circuit will apply its effects. Note: multiple circuits of the same type will stack their effects unless stated otherwise.

When a Circuit is applied to the charge meter, it will attempt to take up the lowest unoccupied pins available. Removing a Circuit via Circuit Extractor will remove the highest, and thereby latest Circuit applied.

Every 90 seconds, WX-78 will gain one unit of charge as long as they are not Starving or Wet. WX-78 can receive one unit of Charge by using a Lightning Rod that has been recently struck, being struck by lightning, or eating Electric Milk or Volt Goat Chaud-Froid. They can also be fueled by Winona's Generators and Winona's G.E.M.erators, which will use 90% of the generator's maximum charge and 6% of the G.E.M.erator's maximum charge.

If WX-78 becomes Frozen, two units of charge will be lost. Charge units will also be lost when using the Circuit Extractor to remove circuits, with the amount being equal to the amount of charge the Circuit was actively using.

Disadvantages

  • Without any circuits, WX-78 has stats on the lower end of the spectrum and may succumb to insanity or starvation quicker than other characters.
  • WX-78 takes damage from Rain at a rate of 3-9 damage Health Meter.png based on their wetness and a charge slot every 5 seconds when above 15 wetness, which can pose a significant threat. Great care should be taken to avoid wetness.
  • Rain damage causes WX-78 to periodically emit Light as sparks fly off their body. The light emitted is frequent and bright enough to prevent Charlie from attacking, but comes at the cost of large amounts of Sanity due to being in complete darkness.
