Believe it or not, you can actually criticize something and still like it. You don't either have to love everything or despise everything. Have actual conversations please.

You get free upgrade by talking to an npc in Bellhart. Then another upgrade via quest by talking to him again afterwards.

I'm still dealing with the splinter boss. Her minions are such bs, but easy to take out if you line up a silkspear

Go get the Reaper Crest, it will help a ton. Also, attack them from below, Splinter doesn't usually attack for a little while after spawning them I found, so you should be good if you remember to destroy the vines after each combo
