[languid radish]

🔹 An unnecessary spoiler is a spoiler (even a tagged one!) that was not directly requested by the user being helped, such as help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached - Charms build containing Charms they haven’t found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a player’s experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where they’ve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.

[inland moon]

That's what I meant

[cold surge]

ohh

[harsh kraken]

But u said ||NKG was 1%, I'm js saying I didn't need it||

So while it was unnecessary it was js helping him

[somber hill]

cuz u shose the other path

[cold surge]

what should i use for ||soul tryant||

like ||charms||

[inland moon]

Not you too

[somber hill]

its not unc tho

[cold surge]

isnt itr just a spoiler

[inland moon]

Same as ||fc, but shaman istead of mop||

[cold surge]

[inland moon]

||He doesn't know about that||

[somber hill]

[cold surge]

[somber hill]

just decisions

[inland moon]

||Why you implying there's anything else ||

[somber hill]

im not telling him where and when

cuz the other person alr uncspoiled

[inland moon]

Youn're meant to find out about it by yourself

[somber hill]

yea

like routing and stuff

[inland moon]

You basically confirmed it tho

||I could've dispelled the curiosity ||

[cold surge]

the only problem is getting to ||soul master|| without compass will be kindaa hard

[inland moon]

Bruh

[cold surge]

maybe

[inland moon]

It's not far

Just keep going up

And go left at the top

[cold surge]

[inland moon]

we dont have to talk about ||brooding mawlek||

[spice minnow]

[cold surge]

took me like 20 tries first time i played

[spice minnow]

i also found it hard first time

[cold surge]

||where he throws alot of orange stuff in the air||

sometimes there a space between them sometimes there isnt

[inland moon]

Just pogo over to the other side

[spice minnow]

okay i always hit him before

[cold surge]

||like when he teleports up then dashes down into you||

[jade sedge]

||Is there any specific attacks you are struggling against? For general tips, heal on staggers, dont go too close too quickly on fire bats and of course most importantly, bow at the start||

[inland moon]

||white palace is so confusing theres so many areas i have no idea where to go||

[amber perch]

you need to get the ||dreamers|| before you can fight ||wd||

[remote jacinth]

Oh alr

[cold surge]

like where am i supposed to go from here

[remote jacinth]

Am I dumb or cant you ||beat the game with p5 ending||

[sonic elbow]

trying to get over this cliff... do i need ||monarch wings||?

can i add spoiler tags here somehow btw

[remote jacinth]

Yes

[cold surge]

spoiler it

[remote jacinth]

Add || to both sides of the spoiler

[sonic elbow]

hmm... how to do that to an image?

[remote jacinth]

He just asked how to

[cold surge]

oh i didnt see

[remote jacinth]

[sonic elbow]

ah

[cold surge]

can u help

[sonic elbow]

there

never noticed that before. so, ||monarch wings|| are kinda hard to get right?

[simple island]

Likely an oversight but yes

[remote jacinth]

Go up, you can walk on the line up there

[cold surge]

yeah but what do i do on it theres nothign to do there

[remote jacinth]

Go left from there

[cold surge]

ohhhh thankss

[sonic elbow]

ok more general question, first time player, dont mind a little guidance. i have ||dash, one mask shard, one nail upgrade, vengeful spirit, super dash, cloak, claw, lumafly...|| what should i do next? was thinking maybe ||get monarch wings||

esp if i'm a little frustrated by boss fights

[simple island]

You have basically enough stuff to go everywhere in the game

[sonic elbow]

really? couple more ||charms and mask shards|| maybe tho?

[simple island]

So really just explore whichever area you want, skipping parts if boss fights get too hard
You can go out and gather basically every upgrade

[sonic elbow]

gulp

any good one to start with?

[simple island]

More ||charms and mask shards don’t stop you from going places
You have the movement to get everywhere, mask will make it easier||

Going under ||city||, while dirty, is the way to go mostly
(a picture of your map could help right now (the most zoomed out view))

[sonic elbow]

oh sure

^

[simple island]

Yeah, either go under ||city, under/left of waste, or explore the right most side of peak||

All are really equally valid options

[flint fossil]

hello can someone help me im stuck here after beating a female version of me what should i do? Am i in the right path?

[sonic elbow]

to get to the ||monarch wings|| or in general?

i already got ||crystal heart||

[simple island]

You are at a dead end, continue to explore ||greenpath, and try to follow that red skirted thing||

||Greenpath|| is the place to explore

[simple island]

You are like ||2 areas away from wings, and areas are very interconnected
So basically every path leads to wings||

[flint fossil]

im not good at english but youre talking about the boss right?

the red thing

[wispy estuary]

||forgotten crossroads|| is the place to explore..

[simple island]

Yeah beating that boss is important

[neat karma]

||greenpath is the name of the area||

[simple island]

Oh you did it, my bad

[neat karma]

Tbh both work

[wispy estuary]

wait how?

[flint fossil]

but hes talking about ||greenpath|| no?

[neat karma]

Both lead to the same area technically

[wispy estuary]

how???

[neat karma]

||crossroads leads to the top path of fungal, greenpath leads to fog which is a dead end everywhere except for qs||

Pretty straightforward

[wispy estuary]

well yea that goes into ||DEEPNEST||

[neat karma]

No?

[wispy estuary]

no?

[neat karma]

||you cant even access deepnest clawless,,,||

[wispy estuary]

ahhh my bad

[neat karma]

||and the deepnest entrance is in fungal not fog||

[wispy estuary]

||I thought the queen's station led to the collapsing entrance into deepnest for some reason||

[sonic elbow]

re ||under/left of waste, you mean fog canyon and mantis village? or past mantis? i got stuck on the mantis 1-and-then-2-at-a-time boss, but i think that was before a nail upgrade||

the ||mantises were kicking my butt||

[simple island]

Past ||mantis is an option, but there are other path in fungal (fog has stuff but not a lot)||

[sand stump]

i forgor how get across this 💀

im guessing i come back later after ||dash?||

[thick wing]

|| slash down||

[sand stump]

on what

[thick wing]

||spike||

[sand stump]

ok

i got it thanks

[sonic elbow]

.

[simple island]

Well you see there are two ||path, one at the bottom of mantis, and one sur under queen station||

[sand stump]

||should i like get everything the first area has to offer before continuing or not worth it||

[cold surge]

how do i get past here

[sonic elbow]

i see what u mean

[modest elm]

You can get ||infinite soul from that wingsmould if you get low.||

[sonic elbow]

man ||queens station|| is pretty

[cold surge]

yeah i just did but how do i continue

[modest elm]

Getting a clip for you

[cold surge]

tyy

[sand stump]

any1

[modest elm]

You can get anything anytime you want.

This ||steel soul?||

[sand stump]

yh

[cold surge]

ok i got past this one but no idea how to get past after

like i can go up to the left but theres nothing to do from over there i think

[wintry verge]

||white palace is connected to the queen's garden, right?||

[remote jacinth]

No

[cold surge]

i dont think so

[wintry verge]

Well that's unfortunate

[cold surge]

but i didnt finish it yet so idk

[wintry verge]

I wanted to see ||the white lady||

[sand stump]

they are on like ||opposite sides of the map]] itd be odd to connect||

[remote jacinth]

They may have visual similarities, but are not near each other in the slightest

[modest elm]

Keep goin up

[wintry verge]

Alright, thanks

[cold surge]

then i get to like an area where i need to go left then up but its really hard to do idk if its possible

[remote jacinth]

You can find ||her chair and nursing room||

[cold surge]

wait do ||charms|| work in ||white palace||

[shut sparrow]

yes

[remote jacinth]

Yes

[cold surge]

ohh thats so good

[cold surge]

am i supposed to go left

[sand stump]

bro your at the start of that room just yolo snd learn it imo

[cold surge]

thats what im trying to do

[modest elm]

@cold surge ||crystal dash to the left||

: )

[sand stump]

why just pop down and ||pogo saw blades instead far safer||

[modest elm]

Exit is above them

[sand stump]

im thinking of a diff room arent i

[cold surge]

probably

[modest elm]

@sand stump @cold surge room walkthrough from where you are.

[sand stump]

oh there

[cold surge]

ohhh

[modest elm]

Generally speaking, I’m sure you’ll be able to figure everything out on your own.

[cold surge]

i was trying to go like right above me

[sand stump]

i do a ||dash jump up to right side of wall||

[cold surge]

like up there

[sand stump]

its safer

harder but safer

[sonic elbow]

welp guess ||i need the shade cloak to get to cornifer in fog canyon||

[modest elm]

The ||Cdashes are required.||

[cold surge]

yes

[sand stump]

no i can do a ||wall jump off wall dash double jump snd im up on right side||

istg ill go on my main file and do it and send a clip

[cold surge]

do

[sand stump]

gimme like a bit im at ||pantheon 2 rn||

[cold surge]

ok

[modest elm]

||Or they could like. Wall jump a few times and cdash. 🥴||

[cold surge]

so this works here right

thats so good here

[simple island]

(It’s also the only place it’s good…)

[cold surge]

how

[simple island]

It’s too expensive usually

[tawny sapphire]

name one place you'd use it that's not ||WP||

[cold surge]

oh

[tawny sapphire]

||make it 0 notches and it's worth||

[simple island]

Bad in boss fights…

[cold surge]

how you can heal during boss fights while fighting

[tawny sapphire]

you don't

[cold surge]

what

[tawny sapphire]

just don't heal

[cold surge]

wait so

the ||charm|| does nothing in boss fights

[simple island]

Many bosses stagger, or have long enough times after moves
The issue with ||hiveblood is that healing a mask takes like, 2 seconds, while it takes like 12
Not getting hit for 12 seconds in a fight can be hard||

[tawny sapphire]

it does, but it's not worth ||4 notches||

[simple island]

No it’s just hard to get value out of it

[cold surge]

oh

[tawny sapphire]

just get good and don't heal atp

[cold surge]

is this good for ||wp||

[tawny sapphire]

||Eater?||

[cold surge]

so i can heal more

[simple island]

Yeah ig
I would recommend the ||grub charm if you have it||

[tawny sapphire]

heh???

[thick wing]

|| soul eater ? ||

[cold surge]

what

[thick wing]

|| use grubsong bro ||

[cold surge]

doesnt it give more soul

[simple island]

For when you hit ||wingsmold||

[tawny sapphire]

||when you hit enemies yes...||

[simple island]

Smh

[cold surge]

oh whatt

[thick wing]

|| only when you hit enemy ||

[cold surge]

i thought it was the one that ||gives soul automaticly||

is that even a ||charm||

[tawny sapphire]

isn't majority of ||WP|| just ||buzzsaws|| though

[tawny sapphire]

yeah

[cold surge]

well what should i use

[simple island]

||Grubsong hiveblood|| and whatever

[remote jacinth]

Hint you need to ||complete wp|| to get towards it

[cold surge]

||hive blood grubsong|| what else

[simple island]

It doesn’t matter

[cold surge]

i already have the first one

[tawny sapphire]

it's not even worth

[cold surge]

like the ||fragment?||

[remote jacinth]

Fr? ||5 notches and 2soul per second|| is really reallt really good

[cold surge]

does this work lol

[tawny sapphire]

just use ||grubsong + weaversong||

[remote jacinth]

Dont use ||longnail|| here lol

[tawny sapphire]

Based

[cold surge]

why not i dont have any other 2 notches one

[remote jacinth]

Use ||range|| charms elsewhere

[cold surge]

or good one

[cold surge]

what why

[tawny sapphire]

which ones do you have?

[remote jacinth]

Do you have ||3 notch ones||

[cold surge]

i have every ||charm|| other than the ||fragment|| one

[tawny sapphire]

||Spell Twister imo||

[cold surge]

what

[tawny sapphire]

yes

[cold surge]

yep

[tawny sapphire]

literally no reason

[cold surge]

you could ||fireball|| those things more...

[modest elm]

||You need to avoid damage for a certain amount of time (12 secs?) to heal back the last instance of damage. Hive only heals back 1 mask every time you take damage. If you take 9 hits of damage, then wait for 2 minutes…. You heal back one mask.

Hiveblood is terrible for bosses.||

[tawny sapphire]

you could ||spell stall||

[modest elm]

But ||deep focus and hiveblood both work well while exploring areas with parkour hazards||

[cold surge]

oh

ill try with this build first

[sonic elbow]

||this section in greenpath wher eu have to super dash and jump over pillars with thorns at the top, this sucks||

[tawny sapphire]

though it takes a lot of skill to learn though

[tawny sapphire]

[modest elm]

Worth, we promise

[sonic elbow]

ok crossed the first half... 😦

[modest elm]

Half?

[tawny sapphire]

||DS better||

[cold surge]

am i supposed to pogo

[modest elm]

try it and find out

[simple island]

||Cdash||…

[sonic elbow]

ugh...

[cold surge]

ohhhhh

[sonic elbow]

is that just ||drop down and dash left||

[simple island]

Yeah this jump is tough

[sonic elbow]

didnt work first time

[tawny sapphire]

yeah

[cold surge]

yes

[tawny sapphire]

tight jump

[simple island]

It is doable, but tight, try ||dashing|| early

It is a hard jump

[sonic elbow]

nope. died

[simple island]

If you die, don’t worry, you aren’t as far back as you think you are

[modest elm]

||Great time to re-assess your charm loadout.||

[cold surge]

hi

[modest elm]

Or look for sources ||of soul ||

[sonic elbow]

anything in specific?

[modest elm]

||Dnail him ||

[tawny sapphire]

yippee!! ||fork guy!!||

[sonic elbow]

i actually only have ||map charm||

[cold surge]

wooo

[modest elm]

||interact with chair||

[cold surge]

yeah i did before

[tawny sapphire]

early much imo

[cold surge]

didnt have time

[modest elm]

Anything ||that gives you easy soul or health is good.||

[modest elm]

Rip

[cold surge]

what would have happened

[sonic elbow]

i added ||soul catcher|| just now

[modest elm]

You sit

[cold surge]

awesome

[crystal tide]

sit for 30s

[sonic elbow]

doesnt seem to do much

[crystal tide]

you will hear something

and you can change charms

thats it

[sonic elbow]

oh i have a ||broken ... soul thing|| thats why

lol i literally just walked off the cliff at the beginning of that jump

brilliant

welp died again. there goes all my stuff

[violet ocean]

what movement abilities do you have

[simple island]

They have enough technically, it’s just very tight

[hollow briar]

Trying to go for 100% completion, do I need to beat ||Rad|| for that and get ||all endings?||

[crystal tide]

please spoiler tags your msg.

and the game have 112%

[hollow briar]

My bad

[crystal tide]

not sure wdym

[simple island]

||Endings don’t give %|| though

[crystal tide]

my besite help

[hollow briar]

Oh. I've got all ||charms|| and ||shards,|| ||all grubs,|| etc. Trying to think of what I'm missing. ||Essence|| maybe?

[tawny sapphire]

tags to all of those

well most of those

[simple island]

A lot of things give ||%
Doing all of colo, getting 2400 essence, finishing the quest lines of both the Grimm troupe and the godmaster updates||

How much % do you have ?

(Also yes, everything in the game besides very basic stuff, like map, health, bosses… are considered spoilers)

[tawny sapphire]

wait ||map|| isn't a %?

[hollow briar]

Ah. I haven't done ||Colo3||

102%

[tawny sapphire]

you're missing 10%

[hollow briar]

I know. ||I am missing God home, Colo 3, and a couple other things but I'm trying to get base game 100% completion. I got a few % from doing Grim Troupe. I still need 2400 essence.||

Nvm, I did it. Apparently just needed to beat the game again.

[simple island]

XY problem moment

Your problem was X, you thought Y was the issue and asked how to solve Y

[tawny sapphire]

but the solution was Z

🔥

[crystal tide]

Pokémon XYZ!

[tawny sapphire]

I see you Anika

come out from lurking

[bright sorrel]

mb

[tawny sapphire]

1. You are required to spoiler tag any and all in game content (check pins for further info)

2. What are you struggling with specifically?

[grim chasm]

I'm struggling on when to heal and his attack patterns.

[tawny sapphire]

||Healing spots include:
At the end of flame pillars just as the final pillar spawns

When he staggers

After dodging Firebats||

[grim chasm]

How do you mark spoilers?

[tawny sapphire]

?tag spoilers

[languid radish]

🔹 Ensure Discord’s spoiler tagging is used around spoilers (People, Places, and Things should be spoiler tagged!! if you are confused, please see the pins for what is allowed ).
We do this to be considerate of multiple conversations taking place. Two vertical bars on either side of text will tag it as a spoiler - ||This is a spoiler.|| > ||This is a spoiler.|| Alternatively, adding /spoiler at the start of a message will tag it.

🔹 If you have sent an untagged message, you must either edit it to include spoiler tags or delete it.

[modest elm]

||with these on the sides||

[grim chasm]

How do i type those

Wait i found it

[candid cipher]

[grim chasm]

||spoiler alert||

[tawny sapphire]

[crystal tide]

msg deleted please spoiler tags next.

[candid cipher]

Hey who deleted mine

[crystal tide]

nice play lmao

[quasi epoch]

Hey yall its my first time playing hollow knight and im going for 112% Difficulty aside does it matter the order i collect everything? Like is there a way to lock myself out of 112 or no?

[candid cipher]

It doesn't

[tawny sapphire]

No

[crystal tide]

Order does not matter, but yeah there is a way to lock yourself and it won't happen unless you insist on making it...

[violet ocean]

wait you can actually lock yourself out of 112?

[crystal tide]

oh no i meant like as progress

you will get stuck

therefore delete file

and try all over again

[candid cipher]

No?

[crystal tide]

Yes?

[candid cipher]

Where exactly can u get stuck

[modest elm]

It’s impossible to make 112% possible. But multiple playthroughs are required to get every achievement.

[tawny sapphire]

You can only lock yourself out of ||THK|| ending

[crystal tide]

somewhere in the ||abyss|| i forgor

[tawny sapphire]

And that’s not a %

[violet ocean]

ah

[tawny sapphire]

No wait, is it getting ||Shade Soul before VS||

[candid cipher]

|| Abyss doesn't have any benches ||

[tawny sapphire]

Ain’t no way someone is doing that on accident

[crystal tide]

the one before ||broken vessel||

[violet ocean]

oh i guess that does lock you out of 112 huh

[candid cipher]

|| that's ancient basin ||

[crystal tide]

yeah i need sleep probably

[candid cipher]

[bright sorrel]

theres like 10+ softlocks. theyre impossible to reach on a standard playthrough tho

[tawny sapphire]

Time to do them on my ||steel soul|| save

[crystal tide]

Teach them Anika lmao

[bright sorrel]

[tawny sapphire]

Also people can just put on ||benchwarp||

And fix it

[crystal tide]

Yeah, me fr

[candid cipher]

I can't have that cuz I'm on Android 😔

[grim chasm]

||I give up on NKG for today. I'll beat him someday...||

[jade sedge]

Please spoiler tag your message

[grim chasm]

sorry i forgot

[sonic elbow]

ok, now what...can't ||super dash|| cause i hit a ||thorn stalagtite ||

is that a ||pogo|| situation?

[jade sedge]

Cancel the ||cdash|| before hitting it

[sonic elbow]

oh is there a platform under it?

died 😦

i hate when they make u retry the same thing like 10 times with a long walk to get there

cheap game design trick

[jade sedge]

||Cancel right before hitting it, fall a bit and dash to the platform||

[violet ocean]

||or just nail bounce||

[karmic valve]

|| how do you deal with the traps in hornet 2? ||

[jade sedge]

||That works too but is a lot harder, especially since the durandas (or durandoos?) fly up and down||

[jade sedge]

||Always get rid of them as soon as they spawn. One good way is using vengeful spirit from the side of the arena to break multiple of them and also damage hornet. Just hitting when hornet is far away works too||

[sonic elbow]

ugh man its so frustrating

at least when your points are gone you can just fling yourself at it

[pulsar moth]

how do you do the hidden text thingy

[olive mirage]

you can check pins but basicly its just ||this||

[pulsar moth]

Oh ok. Thanks

[tepid edge]

||hey guys,hk newbie here- im gonna do the first trial of the collosuem of fools,is this a good setup? if no let me know what i should change,thanks||

[olive mirage]

looks pretty good if you see yourself using ||the shell||

[tepid edge]

||yeah i use it a lot||

should i use it?

[jade sedge]

||Baldur shell isnt that good really, i'd change it to dwielder and gsong, or catcher. Thats not horrible either though||

[tepid edge]

oh alr thanks

[jade sedge]

||Shamans and twister are amazing, your build cant be very bad if you have both of them||

[olive mirage]

yeah its not the best charm and kinda lets you develop bad healing habits.

||grubsong is very strong for colo ||imo.

[tepid edge]

||alright thanks all of you! ||

[olive mirage]

really strong in most places

[tulip trellis]

|| i just banished the grimm troupe but i didnt get the achievement for it can i fix this somehow? ||

[thick wing]

|| you need to nail bounce ||

[jade sedge]

You dont need to, though that is also an option

[olive mirage]

not that I know of. are you sure you have done it all the way?

||like are the tents gone?||

[tulip trellis]

|| I have 112% completion, tents are gone, silly guy standing in dirtmouth ||

[jade sedge]

||And you are sure you dont have the banishment achievement? You arent supposed to have the ritual achievement.||

[tulip trellis]

|| i dont have the banishment achievement. Its still locked ||

[jade sedge]

What platform are you playing on

[olive mirage]

hmm. can you send a ss?

[tulip trellis]

Xbox

[tulip trellis]

Sure

[olive mirage]

of the achievement still locked

[olive mirage]

hm thats weird

you are gonna have to do a few playthroughs for all achievements anyway so its not the end of the world. still sucks though.

[jade sedge]

Yeah no idea how to fix it either

[tepid edge]

||Yay ty all i won the first trial!!!!!!||

[tulip trellis]

I wasnt planning on doing anymore playthroughs as my biggest goal was 112%

[tepid edge]

[jade sedge]

also please spoiler tag your message

[jade sedge]

I guess it doesnt harm that much then, though it is quite annoying

[tulip trellis]

It harms my soul

[tepid edge]

||hey why do we need to spoiler everything? just a question||

[desert pawn]

Because new players come here, and they might accidentally see stuff that spoils the game

[tepid edge]

oh okay ||(I LEARNED THAT QUIRREL DIES BECAUSE OF HK OFF TOPIC- ||

[desert pawn]

usually you want to avoid all channels except this one if you're new ||rip Quirrel||

[tepid edge]

I wanted to talk to people

[thin plover]

you could always be part of the loud minority that denies it (they're all wrong)

[desert pawn]

The channels on this server are rarely used for there actual purpose, ss discussion is the most offtopic, and hk discussion is more offtopic than hk offtopic

[tepid edge]

IIwhat do i do with the missing spaceII

[thin plover]

thank cod. i'd hate hk discussion if they actually talked about hk

[jade sedge]

||I recommend dwielder, in colo specifically you can use it to easily get full soul when theres only one enemy left from a wave. If you dont like it though, id recommend just swapping gsong to catcher, it just gives even more soul||

[tepid edge]

||i dont have enough for dweilder tho||

[desert pawn]

||I would choose long nail, but you could also use quick nail or mark of pride if you remove grubsong||

[jade sedge]

Its one ||notch||

[tepid edge]

oh right-

[jade sedge]

Oh never mind i cant see you have two left

[desert pawn]

Actually, you don't have ||compass|| on, ||compass|| is essential

[jade sedge]

||Yeah just catcher. Qs isnt very good in colo.||

[tepid edge]

||uhhh im fighting not exploring-||

||this good?||

[desert pawn]

||Still essential, you need to know where you are in the battle ||

[jade sedge]

||Its very fine. I would say catcher and gsong is better but thats great too||

[unkempt geyser]

is ||shaman, strength, twister, catcher and eater|| a good build for ||radabsrad||? ||the overcharming is efficient, always having a spell is useful and feels gud, and no matter how much i try i cant effectively use quickslash without pride||

[desert pawn]

||Catcher and eater together feels like a bit too much||

[mint wadi]

^^ you probably won't need to spam that many ||spells||

[desert pawn]

||plus even if you have a spell build quick slash is still useful for getting soul quickly||

[unkempt geyser]

||catcher and eater give 22 soul per hit, and twister reduces spell cost to 24. so thats 12 spells every 13 hits, almost 1 spell for hit, which is gud without quickslash||

[mint wadi]

If you've found you cannot make use of ||quickslash then this is an okay build||

[unkempt geyser]

||if i somehow cant use up all that soul, then i'll just shoot a few fireballs in the second phase||

[desert pawn]

||That's still an entire 6 notches, when you won't really be using spells constantly, and quick slash basically gives the same result with 3||

[unkempt geyser]

||trying to use quickslash often just makes me get hit, and the jumping is awkward making it harder to dodge the many attacks||

[mint wadi]

Did you read their message? They have probably tried for a while and could not get ||quickslash to work for them nicely||

[violet ocean]

||usually you'd overcharm eater anyway so it's not really a waste of notches||

[mint wadi]

Like if you want to get really technical then bring out ||flukes||

[desert pawn]

True

[unkempt geyser]

||yes, eater is probably the single most efficient overcharm in the game i think||

[desert pawn]

If it works for you it works I guess

[unkempt geyser]

||might try it, thanks||

[mint wadi]

Technically ||flukes do give the most DPS. Look at any p5 speedrun and you'll see it. Really hard to use though so I wouldn't recommend||

[thick wing]

any tips ofr ||NKG||
