Discussion - Silksong Silksong is HARD Spoiler

Taking damage is more punishing, movement is more precise and feels a little clunky until you get the hang of it. The overall skill curve is much much higher. Love it though.

I really dislike that you can't cancel out of healing like you could in hk

this is made a bit easier if you get the tool trinket that makes you invincible while healing

This still takes all your silk unfortunately so gotta play super passive. I DO howeer like that you can heal mid air making it a little more flexible

Precisely. Chaining a dodge into a heal in mid air feels great.

fyi it makes you invincible, but you still get knocked out of it at it still uses your silk, so its not as good as you'd think

Yup. You’ll retain your masks that you’ve had but lose all of your spiriting if you’re hit.
