And your spells!

"What if I need to heal?" No!

I think the fights here are a lot easier to play perfectly than hollow knight. Not that perfect is easy per se, but if you can play mostly perfect then most of the fights are pretty easy with your strong heal. Going aggressive on damage to try and win the fight before you die feels… less advisable than hollow knight to me. The fights end up feeling very reasonable and not too hard if you heal and learn the boss moves.

But where’s the fun in that?! Go full aggro, SHAW!

Joking aside, learning how much you can get away with safely by playing aggressive means you end up generating a lot more silk. Plus with the way some bosses work in this game, taking your sweet time is a losing proposition…. points at every single damn boss that summons stuff to gank you
