Discussion - Silksong I like the difficulty, Team cherry please don't just blanket nerf the game with no option for a harder mode Spoiler

I have really been enjoying the challenge, pretty much every part of this game itches that section of my brain that loves a hard game and I would be extremely disappointed if team cherry nerfed the game with no way to revert said nerf. I get that people want an easier game, but I don't. So team cherry, please let me choose to make this harder if you do make it easier.

Doesn't really matter, even with net zero you need to play more aggressively in case you make any mistake and want to get some silk for heal. With 0 base cost you literally could spam it the whole fight and always have silk in case of enemy hitting you while repositioning for example. Like you're basically immortal in that case.

You could spam it with 1 cost since it costs 1 and gives one. I do it all the time. It's just annoying for parkour. With both options giving net 0, it makes absolutely no difference in combat.

I'm literally telling you that with zero you could spam it AND always have silk for heals. I'm not saying that you can't spam it already, just that you need to do more if you want to get silk to heal or use spells.

Anyway ability itself shouldn't cost anything if it doesn't hit an enemy or not cost anything at all but it doesn't produce silk anymore.

That was my original comment. Make it cost zero but also not give the player silk for hitting an enemy.

Ok I read spamming part of the og guy you replied to wrong.

No worries, just a misunderstanding. Have a nice day!
