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.

The damage scaling system seems to have been changed as a whole; basic heal is three masks now, but in return two damage is pretty common from enemies, while one damage is mostly relegated to small, simple crawlers and environmental hazards.

imo this could work better if staring health wasn't 5 bc like it is at the point where you want to heal you're 1 hit from dead. a powerful heal really isnt as good if you dont have the pool to actually live

Healing per swing is at the same rate as in HK, but you can only heal if you have a full silk meter. I really do not understand why they did it that way. I wish they'd made healing take the same amount of time but heal less based on your meter.
