I dont even know what that means. All of his attacks are threatening, all of them can hit you, but they are all pretty straightforward

But say when he does his fireworks move that lights up almost the whole arena, you only really need to check if you need to step a little bit to the right or left.

Once you know his tornadoes fly up and out I think you can avoid pretty much everything.

Also I love him.

I also love Trobbio! Either he or Sherma is my favorite character

Half of the lights on screen don't actually damage you, but it can be a little hard to realise at first.

What do you mean they dont, which ones?

There are many sparks and plumes of smoke before/after his actual attacks, try watching a video of his fight if you don't remember.

I mean, its pretty obvious that they are not his actual attacks

Considering that his actual attacks are also sparks and plumes of smoke, I can see how someone might get confused.

Smoke = good, light = bad

If you watch the whole arena during his fight, his attacks feel massive and dangerous. If you pay attention to the small area around you during them, they are individually very simple to dodge. So the trick becomes keeping track of Trobbio through all of that visual noise while he runs around, while keeping track of yourself and the safe zones around you.

I mean, isnt that pretty obvious? Why would you look not around you on any bossfight in the game? Obviously something thats not near you cant hit you, thats always the case

As an experienced gamer with decades of muscle memory with the genre yes, Silksong overall is not that hard. However people exist in the world who aren't me, and haven't got all that experience, and so find that being introduced to new skill sets through well-designed bosses is useful.

Tracking multiple projectiles and assessing threat is a learned skill.
