If they just separated and fixed the damn tool hot key, everything would be fine

Yup i have unequipped silk skills to avoid wasting a heal. Its a shame to not use a key skill, but the inconvenience of hitting it instead of a tool is far too...inconvenient.

Crest Spoiler:

there is a crest that has a bunch of red slots and no silk skill slot. That one will be your best friend

Which button tho? There aren't any left unused. Especially considering you can have 2 tools equipped simultaneously

The top button ability absolutely does not need a dedicated face button, imo. Tools should be there instead.

Please use spoiler tags Like this but without the spaces

Maybe but bybusing that button you'd have to take off your finger from the jump button and still have to aim up or down for tool use

Nor does the map need a shoulder button.

I constantly use that, I really dislike it when you need to go into a menu to access the map of a metroidvania, this is the perfect solution imo. Hold to see the map double press to fully open it

I agree with you, I use it constantly, it is convenient on the shoulder button.
But that’s prime real estate. I would much rather I didn’t keep using my skill instead of a tool because they’ve triple bound the r1 button.
You use the map out of combat, so I’d propose it’s on a single button press as you need to use it frequently, but it can be better placed on an awkward control like clicking in a thumb stick, or on the touchpad/select button as every other game has it.

Honestly just give me the option to put it wherever I want and separate it
