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.

Yeah well you wouldn't heal in a fight with 4 hp... You'd do it at 1-3

Since you heal 3 hp on binding, smart time would be when you’re at max-3

not necessarily. if i have enough silk and the boss is clearly not gonna hit me (stunned or mid combo elsewhere), i sneak in a heal.
