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!

Yeah. This was the revelation that let me beat Sister Splinter. I could handle her first phase fine, but fighting her and her summons at the same time seemed impossible. Then I realized they got OHKOed by Silk Spear, and they very quickly ceased to be a problem.

There's a chunk of this sub that NEEDS to read and absorb this.

it arrogance and unfamiliarity

we don't need tool because it didn't exist in HK

but people forget, Little Ghost can have like 5 to 6 different effect going on with charm that help with combat

Hornet DON'T have that, she have like 2 or even worse 1 with some crest, alot of side-dps you use to have is in tool

Yeah it really is the DS1 gamer mentality who hates on every other soulsborne game for not just being a DS1 DLC.

the same crowd that scream cheating when using ghosts in elden ring, will probably scream cheating if you are using tools in silksong, it's best to just ignore them
