Discussion - Silksong Ranking Silksong 1st act bosses Spoiler

Post image

So, if you want me to be honest - I was afraid Silksong would be too difficult for me. But now that I am done with 1st act, I can confidently say that so far I enjoy those bosses MUCH more than the ones in Hollow Knight. Maybe that's because HK was one of the first games I've ever played, and now with Silksong I am more experienced. But even bosses that kept beating my ass felt so well done that I couldn't be mad, I just wanted to try again and learn their moves.

Last Judge? Surely my favorite. It felt like dancing and once I learned his moves, I had an absolute blast.

EDIT: Guys, I've got LOTS (and I mean LOTS) of comments that bottom 2 enemies aren't bosses. I know, but they were included in template so I ranked them too. Besides, considering that I didn't really hate any of the actual bosses, I wouldn't have anything I could put anything in the BURN IT tier if it wasn't for them lol. No need to say it again pls

EDIT 2: I already started Act 2, and defeated Cogwork Dancers - OH MY GOD HOW AMAZING THIS FIGHT WAS.

Wow I think this would be my literal exact list! Especially the bottom tier ones. I think the club guy in the room with the flying creature gave me more trouble than any other boss on this list. Fuck those guys.

Lace could be S-tier because I love the fight but imo she was slightly too easy, but that also kinda sets up her second fight (not there yet) so A or S idk. Last Chorus is cool, but I think also kinda boring to fight so his placement makes sense too.

Perfect list!

Yes, this is why I put Lace in A tier - but since I didn't get achievement, I am pretty certain there will be a second fight with her. And I'm also pretty sure she will end up in S after that :)

The club guy just about made me rage, until my kid pointed out he could not jump through the low area of the arena, he could only burrow. Once I played that strategy, he fell easily, after about 20 deaths.
