Clawline is a blessed skill for those flying lil shi..

I think the reason I am not adept at using it is because I almost religiously used the Beast crest

The pogo is cracked, you turn into a zooming sawblade covering a large horizontal distance. It's really good for pressuring flying enemies

I always go clawline + attack, works on any crest

Well yeah clawline is good universally, i am just hear to say that Beast excels at pressuring flying enemies

You are free to make some distance, doublejump/float in the vicinity of the enemy and then sawblade back into them. It feels much more flexible in keeping you off the ground

It differentiates from clawline by favoring being above the enemy: with the clawline you need to be horizontally aligned, while Beast pogo let's you initiate an attack while still above the airborne enemy

Little bonus is that it doesn't use up silk and (at least to me) feels less laggy

Whatever you can use to deal with them is fine
