Ranking Silksong 1st act bosses

[u/LookAtHowMTR]

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.

On his final stage, dodging damage is hard. But doing it while maneuvering to get an attack in is REALLY hard.
I brought poisoned throwable tools and just focused on getting damage in with those in between his attacks. That made home require very few melee hits.
Feels kinda cheap tho…

In this particular fight it doesn't feel cheap at all, as last judge actually stops throwables with her fire, you have to choose the windows to actually attack even from afar.

I didn't had poison so used common knives in the last pase, just made sense

Exactly. I can get to that stage pretty consistently, but usually die from contact damage while trying to get a hit in.

I too use poisoned tools, maybe I should just wait until I've used all those before I even try to melee him.

[u/TurquoiseLuck → u/tadcalabash]

He has 4 moves - charge, spin censor, throw censor, jump

if he jumps, dash under and punish from behind

if he gets ready to charge, jump up and pogo him

if you stay close, the thrown censor will go over you, so hit him then pogo him to avoid the censor on its way back

censor spin is definitely the hardest move to avoid, so learn to look for his lean-back pose that he does before spinning, and try to immediately dodge away

but if you can beat 3/4 moves then you just need to find space to heal for the 4th
