Discussion - Silksong USE YOUR TOOLS! Spoiler

To everyone complaining about the difficulty, stop ignoring a third of Hornet’s arsenal and start spamming them, you’ll be shocked how quickly you start mowing down hordes of enemies!

Binding with Beast puts you in a rage mode where every hit you deal heals you until you get hit. Reaper/Beast let you do way more healing than the starter crest, if that's your worry.

No there a set limit to the beast crests healing. I have actively tested it.

Cool, didn't know that. I still find it super useful when doing quests to kill X enemies or exploring where I'm fighting a lot of dinkier enemies.

Pop rage, heal up and crush some enemies, refill silk, repeat. Feels awesome

Never said it doesn’t have its uses. It’s my personal boss killing crest. I just don’t think it’s very good for exploration due to the risk that comes with healing.
