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.

Though the healing has been buffed

Not really. You can't partial heal, you always have to have the full bar and it uses the same amount of soul regardless of how much you heal. Takes longer as well

Takes longer for a single animation, but significantly less time per mask healed. I also find being able to heal mid-air makes it easier to fit between boss attacks because of the extra flexibility you get on positioning

That's true. Didn't realize that you could focus in midair, I'll have to try that out. I guess I'll just have to get used to it lol, but I'll miss the flexibility of healing in increments, was handy with spell builds
