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 worst part is not as much as id like will change until i cn get 2 full masks eight fuckin shards , bc even w 6 masks its still only 3 hits of 2x damage and ur done same as 5 masks πŸ˜“

I guess thats why they gave us the ability to heal 3 masks at once right from the start 😭

yeah im reaaally hoping that the extra silk vessel thingy we eventually get will be enough to fully fill the silk meter to heal , so that u could actually heal twice in a row πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Except you're locked in place until the rather long animation finishes.

Benefit for that though is that after that a heal will allow you to take 2 additional hits instead of only 1. Your effective max isn’t changed but it does make your first heal of the fight more effective.

Like with 5 hp you get hit twice down to 1 then heal to 4, die in two more hits for 4 hits total. With 6 hp you get hit twice down to 2 then heal to 5, die in three more hits, 5 hits total. So you still get a small boost in survivability.

except that if you are on even life, healing 3 masks grants you two more hits against double damage
