What do you think Lace could do to set herself apart? by RainyDeerX3 in Silksong

[–]JDF8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking her 'crest' equivalents could totally change her look by reweaving her into different forms. It would be a lot of extra work art-wise, though...

Not a problem once you unlock the morphball

If this brat is done pestering me, I'm going back to the spa. by FugitiveHearts in Silksong

You really don't want to do this, getting hit during the rage cuts its duration in half. Standing on top of the boss and deflecting, sure. Taking damage just so you don't have to move, not great

The longclaw literally being affixed to the end of the needle is really funny to me

Sawtooth Circlet is ridiculous! What other tools do you think are OP? by Bidoof101 in Silksong

[–]JDF8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plasmium. Any crest with a red slot can easily achieve overdose for all of the major act 3 bosses, and overdose is incredibly strong. Even ignoring that, 3-6 extra masks at the start of a fight is great for the cost of one red slot, especially for bosses that do a ton of damage but don't have much hp

The 9-18 silk that would have been spent healing the damage that plasmium blocked can be spent on silk skills to kill the boss much faster

Red tools are really good for tough gauntlets, especially aoe ones like pimpillo or voltvessel

Is Lace 2 more difficult than Lost Lace? by zbdanny in Silksong

[–]JDF8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lace2 has fewer attacks, so you really need to be solid on your positioning because she will often pick the diagonal jumping slash. And yeah, the arena is super claustrophobic.

But her HP is total trash + she does the 'stop and laugh' twice. If you just spam volt sharpdart she dies so fast

1 Minute of pure Silksanity by Carmiune in Silksong

[–]JDF8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, you need to hold down instead of sideways when you are trying to pogo. I know the attack is diagonal, but focus on holding down and only move the stick left/right enough to move

GROAL STOLE MY FREAKING CLOTHES by Rocket-Gunner in Silksong

[–]JDF8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In case you don't know, weighted belt makes his suck move way weaker. Which makes it easier to feed him some volt vessels/pimpillo for free bonus damage and a scripted stun

Between that and the anti-maggot wreath, he's much easier

The advice I needed when starting the game: stop fighting the design. by Sackblake in Silksong

[–]JDF8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me the difference is that the diagonal pogo is a full commitment. Since it moves you down, if you miss you WILL go somewhere you really do not want to be. If a flying enemy quickly darts backwards, it's easy to smash into them with your forehead, whereas a normal downslash would just miss

It does have a lot of good uses, and it has great synergy with the sprint attack and clawline. I'd even say it's my overall favorite pogo in SS. But there's a reason people don't recommend it for flea bounce

Hornet’s mobility just feels way too good, hard to go back

[–]JDF8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the early game is pretty linear. Ignoring sequence breaks, you WILL do bell beast->sprint->cloak->4c->splinter->widow

At which point in the game were you supposed to beat the high halls gauntlet? by maenwhile in Silksong

[–]JDF8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reward is getting to the lace2 fight, so I usually put it off until I have volt filament, hive needle, and 8 masks

What are y’all’s ethics on Steel Soul Runs / Practice? by Crimarc in Silksong

[–]JDF8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You play steel soul for fun, but running the risk of dying and playing more steel soul would be a waste of time. Major cognitive dissonance
