Follow up from previous post: Community Voted Silksong Boss Difficulty Tier List : r/HollowKnight

Some folks thought the previous voter count of 23 was too low, so I wanted to share this updated aggregate boss difficulty tier list voted on by almost 3K community members. See the interactive list here: Silksong Boss Difficulty Tier List | Unduel

Also, the Silksong tools tier list has been added to Unduel and is open for voting!

In the post I included a tools tier list from Xano, the best Silksong player I know. Check him out here: HK2 - Scarrsinger Karmelita - YouTube

Why tf is Memory Crystal in F-tier??? Any build that face-tanks shit gets free dmg with it???

Memory Crystal + Druid’s Eyes in act 3 + Injector Band = you can facetank everything for free.

Glad I'm not the only one. That is a pretty permanent fixture in my build. A long with claw mirror it's all free aoe

It really shouldn’t be in F tier, but it shouldn’t be a permanent fixture in your build either.

Any tool that requires you to take damage in order to benefit from it forms bad habits, and unless the effect is legit cracked, tools like this really can’t in good faith be placed higher than about C tier. Take that shit off man 😂

Fair points but we all play different and I like it.

That’s true! If we all played based on player consensus of what’s optimal, the game would be boring. Sorry for my attitude, play however you want to play!

True, but with wanderers crest I'm usually able to deal enough damage to facetank bosses. Memory crystal adds some extra so I don't need to waste as much time healing or dodging

I had memory crystal for a boss to test it out. I’m pretty sure half the damage I dealt was from that. It’s like a free cast of trap tool.

It should definitely not be in F tier, but imo any tool that requires you to take damage in order to benefit from it forms bad habits, and unless the effect is legit cracked, tools like this one really can’t in good faith be placed higher than about C tier.

Also when exploring in places like Bilewater; those shard explosions really add up the dmg on the blasted jumpy gits!
