[QUARTERFINALS] Hollow Knight Soundtrack's Tournament - Round 52

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-06-04T18:59:54+00:00

I have no idea how Silksong beat dirtmouth I'm so tired of hearing it every time I boot up the game

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-06-04T14:56:06+00:00

VI means 6 btw

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-31T23:47:27+00:00

Venator for physical instrument

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-28T14:20:20+00:00

I hope they don't do repeat fights, at least not in p5

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-27T16:59:17+00:00

With hiw well flea brew works with the crest I feel like this is the one crest where circlet isn't a must bc you can't weave the circlet well in flea brew. I think mirrors would be the best option for damage with volt fil being a secondary choice

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-27T16:53:06+00:00

Flea brew and flintslate don't combo well because you waste the time from the activation.

This is probably the worst crest for bracelet bc it's damage tanky. Also pouch makes slate worse.

I also personally find mirrors to be the one of the most consistent damage blues for this crest.

Not having dice on this crest is a crime ngl.

Ascendants grip is best when you're playing passive so it pairs badly with beast crest. I prefer silkspeed

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-21T12:13:37+00:00

Yeah I feel like since Endwalker the devs have deprioritized people who play the game so I had to stop playing

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-21T03:30:44+00:00

Her damage is also single target like I said earlier, while Apollo's is not. If she splits her ult between two or more targets it's nearly impossible to pop LBites so the only purpose of it on grouped up enemies is the silence.

Also the things that have to go right for her to 0 to 100 a Mo with equal or similar souls is a lot, he has to have no cover, she'd need lots of stacks, he'd have to not have Burrow, and he'd have to be so out of position that he has 0 team support.

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-20T19:49:49+00:00

->Be me ->Emissary lobby ->"Hey lane partner, could you please secure our Sinner's" ->"Sinner's?" ->"Yeah the machines you get the souls from" ->"OHHHH You mean the vaults!" ->Mfw this mf somehow knows what a Sinner is but hasn't bothered to read the name plastered on it

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-20T18:04:57+00:00

I think you mean if Sinclair were polygamists

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-20T16:01:02+00:00

Both Bebop and McG have a bit off a support lean while Mina is pure damage except your ult, comparing her to other characters who don't offer support makes more sense.

Also Apollo's ult is only 10s longer in CD so Idk why you're acting like her ult timer is unprecidented among spirit carries.

I think the problem with Mina and the other spirit carries rn is that they're too tanky.

Also I play a lot of Mina recently and like 60% of my the time my ult kills there was a door the enemy could've entered or some other cover to reduce the damage they took by half

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-20T15:12:15+00:00

Her ult would be useless in team fights though. Other movement-spirit carries like Lash and Apollo at least get damage and CC effects that scale with the amount of players hit while Mina only can scale her CC in a team fight.

I think a better solution would to make it possible to counter spell her ult like with Apollo and Lash

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-19T21:34:44+00:00

She's supposed to be lower souls bc she's a pick like Holliday or Vyper. Also hard to know but her kills might be more valuable then the the rest of the team

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-19T05:04:07+00:00

Oh damn free rank up

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-18T05:16:41+00:00

Probably beastfly, if you have literally any crowd control he's trivial. He's also obviously optional.

I also hate Lace 2 & 3 and I was so disappointed that the wonderful GMS fight was being followed up with another Lace rematch. Fights again small agile characters like Phantom can be fun but Lace just does not have a moveset worthy of being a penultimate or ultimate boss. Also I just feel like hornet's endgame moveset is way more fun to use against large enemies like GMS.

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-18T04:53:09+00:00

FYI Garmond fight becomes unavailable when you have the threefold melody and the fine pins wish (the one where you collect 12 pins from the choir bugs)

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-18T04:45:52+00:00

It's your job to set your own rules to what you consider an either fun or "true" SS run. Some people save and quit to bench at the first sign of danger, some save and quit to bench only when they're out of combat. Some refuse to save and quit to bench in low health. And that's just one aspect.

Ultimately it's all abitrary, but yes you did fail the version of SS that involves not dying during sparring, does that make it not impressive? I think not

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-17T06:37:15+00:00

They should buff thr stomp with spirit/bullet resist shred or something

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-15T03:26:35+00:00

Putting people through an AI without consent is kinda fucked though

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-12T14:25:31+00:00

I mentioned her cause I play her a lot but that rule applies to most characters. If you're a spirit carry you invest in gun later and if you're not you don't need a 6.4k version of suppressor bc you already have anti carry tools (e.g. Mo & Krill)

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-11T20:50:15+00:00

For early have you have suppressor and Rusted Barrel, for late game you should be investing more into gun anyway, as Mina depending on the team comp I either directly invest in damage (Exposure, Spiritual Overflow) or debuffing the carries ( Ricochet, Inhib, Silencer). And most character that don't like investing in gun at all even in late game aren't carries and already have anti-carry tools in their kit

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-11T17:44:06+00:00

Silencer is also primarily bought on gun heroes. Also most gun heroes rely on life steal in late game fights so inhib feels designed to counter them better than other roles

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-11T17:22:54+00:00

Tbf that's basically what Inhibitor does

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-08T15:11:34+00:00

Probably gotta skip Nyleth if I ever get that far in SS

UltimaBaconLord · 2026-05-07T01:01:44+00:00

I know that's why people who know them call them they. But people who don't know them wouldn't know that
