it was the first run i got past markoth and from the grave markoth said to come back
the thing thats killing most p5 runs in the pressure, u have the whole pantheon of hollownest on your back and you dont want to lose it
Yeah
Agreed.
u should just chill
it pressures you when you get to the pantheon of the knight group
Yeah.
i still hate that they placed Hornet Sentinel behind sly on purpose lol
True.
I was shaking on the climb lol
I knew the last phase was easy but i didn't want to die
i hate that nosk, uumuu, sly and sentinel are on 1 "run"
Winged Nosk, the Vengefly King reskin.
i usually follow my be chill thing but on climb i was shaking dude
Real
Many people say that it has a broken hitbox.
its just vengefly king but with two extra attacks
i kinda felt that
The wings are really unforgiving
it sometimes feel like its hitbox is broken
I totally agree.
The wings hitbox is def bigger then it should be
Yeah that i agree
Uumuu is meh
Yeah.
The original uumuu is unfun in my perspective
i hate that rest of my achievments just require grind
while in godhome its really interesting to fight
Uumuu is basically: Dream Nail when it is close, then wait for the opportunity to cast Vengeful Spirit thing, and then abyss shriek or attack it with your nail.
Yup
Basically that's it
u fight normal uumuu whit my boy quirell and that alone gets it an S tier
The original version is basically the same, but instead of casting the Vengeful Spirit, you gotta wait for Quirrel to stagger it.
Waiting simulator 1.0
But atleast Quirrel is trying to help.
Yeah, at least
they didint include zote colo fight cuz they were scared that too many runs were gonna go down
hes too hard
bro there is more ppl who got dream no more than sealed sibs wtf
I don't really find GPZ that hard
š®
Wdym instead of casting the vengeful spirit
Though I haven't defeated him more than 4 times
In godhome you just need to nuke it with jellyfish
Well... we need that platinum
how is this possible
wth
Well
Guys, i forgot to say. Why torrent for me is not a crime? Because i am Russian.
I'm scared of doing eternal ordeal
I have no answer lol
in brazil we live of that
why didint ppl get free achievment
Understood.
i pay xbox gamepass
in poland ask anyone he has pirated something atleast once
Why are all the quirrel pfps from brazil
Well im from Brazil!
fr?
Yup
ohh cool
I did find it and before.
wtf
i cryed at that moment
Quirrel boat
Quirrel is just a good guy just like all Brazilians 
poor quirrel
quirrel boat lmao
True.
what
does hk got a good end?
Depends tbh
the basic ending is kinda meh but the Dream no More ending is so satisfying
i think that dream no more is the perfect hk ending
I did save once Cloth, did save twice Zote and beat him in Coleseum of fools. I did save Bretta (forgot name).
embrace the void doesnt make alot of sense
embrace da void
zote should die every good playtrough
Really?
u will figure out why
the worst thing i did on my life its saving zote
same
I did save everyone.
go back to dirtmouth
Even Cloth in time (repeat)
good on you 
I love leaving zote to die
vladik what ending ou doing?
My favorite thing to do
I didn't comeplete the game even yet, so i don't know, i just comepleting the game.
wassup time to rant about how i suck
Guys, i did die many times to Nosk and today i did finnaly beat him.
nosk is one of the few bossfights i dislike
ggs ā¤ļø
ggs
i hate winged nosk
the hitbox its so broken bro
i only like him for the music
I did dodge like more then 10 times on Nosk.
W list
well iāll actually so permanently pessimistic i canāt think of anything negative in specific to say without showing an image of my face

I have only one S the Mantises lords.
mine
Guys, i did die on every boss. But.. HOW I DIDN'T DIE ON False Knight!? I was close always to death..
false knight is a literall tutorial
Plus, i did beat Mantises lords with 1 hit left at end. I was lucky that they did have 1 hit left, each of them.
And mmmmm spoilers
Well this chat allows spoilers, if you dont want them the only chats youre safe in are #off-topic (no hk at all) and #hk-help
is this a W list?
he is gorb š
vengefly king should get D tier but he killed sote so C
i forgor how to play and died to no eyes š
no eyes sucks
No because you put thk in s
the hollow knight requires S
no, but for other reasons
The question being
Are you rating the boss combat or how it fits into the game and overall appearance
Youāre probably doing not one of them which makes for this rather weird list id say
both mostly
I dont see how absrad isnt S then
NEVER stagger pure vessel while it jumps into the air
Gpz in d doesnt seem reasonable either
Why not? Its not like itll 100% hit u
It just flies into the air and almost always lands on top of you
is so climatic
Im aware and no? It doesnt really hit you if you react accordingly
Absrad sucks because its just difficulty for difficulty's sake, and there's not much differentiating it from the original radiance.
Itās still annoying
thats a surface level perspective
Do you have an actual rebuttal for me?
i do but id have to do some writing and itd be overkill i think
absrad is fine but not really an improvement over normal rad in terms of being fun and the context is way dumber
Its also Not pretty understandable unless youāve played much absrad
Honestly, the way I feel about absrad is the same way I feel about most of the dream rematches
There's just not much differentiating them from their originals
You need to eradicate any trace of skill issue
point: difficult, no reason (=forced)
It's difficult because it's the real final boss
It's not about the difficulty. It's the fact that the difficulty isn't really earned. As in they didn't do anything truly different to make it the hardest boss in the game. They just beefed up the final boss with faster attacks and more health.
.
It's the final boss
Would be underwhelming to go through p5 and get an easy boss
And the outcome is not equal to the formula in this case
superbosses being reskins of other bosses isn't unprecedented anyways
It would be even more underwhelming if you got to the end of p5 and it was a boss you already fought before but harder... oh wait
no it wouldnt
Why didn't they just make a new final boss
Radiance isnt meant to be difficult whereas absolute radiance is truly lore accurate in both difficulty and the enemy of the knight/god in godhome
I dont get your point
Theres nothing to add to the outer appearance
they make the only sensible cosmetic change of making her brighter (ie increasing her halo)
Why not make a new boss lol
yikes
A new boss would mean the radiance and infection stuff would still be there
there's also a lack of other suitable candidates
You already kill radiance in dream no more

that has no bearing on what he said
Yeah but if you get godhome ending, then dream no more ending hasn't canonically happened
So?
so what you said doesn't apply
The āall radiantā youāre referring to is named āRadHogā for radiant hall of gods
or a really cool pig
I said if you get godhome ending then radiance and infection stays there.
Ok
If there was a new boss
poshel nahui sin shluxi
The better radhog

Team Cherry wanted every ending to delay/stop infection
well yes it would be bizarre to have an ending that did not pertain to the main conflict
Dlc moment!!!!
Yo
š±
in this case dlc is just a placeholder title wdym
Its literally an update just like minecrafts updates, newer version also contribute to the lore of the game
Hollow Knight Halloween outfit
thats fire
nice
This is so awesome lol
Obviously but it can do its own side plot, not necessarily needing to mingle with the established plot of the main game
skeletron prime pfp :0
YOOOO
spooky
boo
my son appreciates the positive feedback
Why would another boss be there instead of absrad
think of it as non dlcs, as in one game with no side aspects whatsoever and just this one storyline. No content extras or whatever.
Having a side plot would be rather weird but i get your point if youāre saying that there should be a boss on par or even greater than the radiance.
Point being, this is not possible in the lore of the game. There cant be anything stronger than void and having a void boss is wrong too. Closest to the strongest can only be absolute radiance. Period.
I wonder what the nail looks like 
he didnt have time to make one so its a lightsabre that isnt activated lol
Fair enough
with the nail. the cloak is actually hand made by his uncle to be the hollow knight one
I love seeing all the hk related costumes
Means the community is still alive and kicking enough for people to do such things
Oh yeah it is
it's been kicking for six years, probably not going anywhere anytime soon
Dude, the dlc itself expanded the lore. The lore not allowing it is not an issue because the dlc could've made new lore.
At the very least they could've given absrad new attacks
at this point the complaint is just "godmaster wasn't not godmaster"
You'd have to create a whole new god that's more powerful than absrad who made an entire kingdom fall
meaning changing the entire lore of the game
is absrad the real version of adiance or like what is she. Like is the radiance responsible for everything or absrad
We know there is a god more powerful than absrad, but that's you
Or rather the shade lord but you got the point
absrad is radiance with a power up
In an ending that's so tonally distinct from the main endings, they should've at least given her new attacks
Radiance but full power
The idea is that she's the radiance but at peak performance or smt
so in terms of lore, how is she in godhome? is she in the godseekers mind or smt
well not lore ig just game
Godseeker just brought her there
The godseekers are trying to find the best god, and they like attuned the bosses to their full potential(I'm not a lore expert so could be wrong)
L O R E
Have you beaten p5
Rad is her best form until godseeker powers her up through attunement to become absrad
Basically
It's the protagonist usurping rad's spot
godseekers "buffing" bosses by attuning
no there getting them to there full potential
Thk turning into PV for example
by attuning to them and buffing them
Thk has flaws, PV is thk without those flaws
pv's a bit different but the effect is the same
Matis lords could be even better if all three lords fought at the same time
God seekers made them do that
Radiance is weakened inside thk's body
In P5 she has a her full power
Interesting.
God seekers don't buff bosses they put them at their peak
Sly is probably old with osteoporosis
But in godhome he's as young as ever
they do buff bosses, rad's combat ability while in thk has no reason to be reduced
and los gets a visible boost despite not having existed in that form
Radiance become stronger when bugs worship her godseekers just do it better then others
So radiance become absolute radiance
And i can't beat her for almost 6 months
Always dying on nightmare king
Orbsolute is bad
First time reaching NKG in P5
Havent fought him in months, I entered with full health and soul and didn't even make it to first balloon 
I don't remember the uppercut being so trash
uppercut i just dash through tbh
Yeah, I tried dashing but a) I didn't have control for the fire falling and b) he kept crawling backwards
In my first save file it took me exactly 40 tries to beat NKG, having to beat it back to back with PV is a nightmare
Oh.
It actually gets consistent
Well, good to know then.
Yeah.
I rarely used magic and mostly attacked with a nail
I usually have spell twister on to reduce the mana cost of magic

I also tap on my "plains" card during the battle for +2 green mana
I am outta here.
I have almost all the builds on the nail, I know that the spells are quite powerful, but itās not convenient for me to use them, I lose timings and take damage

The Hollow Knight wiki community is another in a long line of wiki communities choosing to leave Fandom behind. But why is that? What is it about Fandom that is pushing so many communities away recently? To answer that question, I talk for 22 minutes and 18 seconds.
Check out the new Hollow Knight wiki here:
https://hollowknight.wiki/
Download...
i know moving off sites liek fandom and fextra is like a thing now but didnt expect mr moss to talk about it
me personally, I have a thing that thanos snaps all the advertisements on fandom, so it doesn't really bother me 
LETS GOOOO
i hate fandom too
an admin suckers
What's wrong with fandom
Ads are everywhere and auto play if I remember correctly
who playing
ads bad
very bad tools for making wiki
smells
Also the ai stuff for a bit
It all comes back to artificial intelligence
Im still baffled why they decided that the AI would be able to pull information outside the one page it was shortening
Thats how you get "Collector is an american serial killer"
however my experience is not affected cause 1: I only read the wiki and 2: I HAVE ADBLOCKER
so many toxic people, underage people, abusive admin in the wiki, fandom discord server got so many offended over the music, im still banned from fandom discord server, likes cringe stuff, i have globally blocked 2 times
hmm
4 damn replies I think I understand it now

congrats
took me like 30 minutes, alot of attemps to defeat the hollow knight with one nail upgrade
4h 50 minutes when i was done

It was the same at the beginning š¤£š¤£
But it's a matter of patience and practice

Parrying, in the end became easy af
what if someone made an animatic or smt of "laaast christmas i gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away" but it's just the knight and leg eater and the "heart" in question is fragile heart that tk feeds to divine

i cant even finish POFT cause of Sly š

Fully understand, sly is my bain
it took me ages to be able to beat him without grimmchild and/or sharp shadow
To the point where P4 was significantly easier for me
WHERE"S HER HORNS š
his nail is massive
100%, pv is easier to get a hang of than sly
I stole them
dang
Cant wait for p5 where i have to do sly and NKG again
I struggle with nkg
I can consistently beat him, i just lose a bunch of health

You better run
what is bindings ?
like "nail binding"
and is doing a no hit pantheon award you with something?
Every pantheon has 4
Nail reduces your nail damage
Spell reduces the amount of soul you can carry
Charms unequips all charms
Shell reduces you to 4 HP
they all last until the end of that pantheon and go away if you win or lose
i don't have to do them at once right
thanks for the info
Also after you do 8 bindings you get 3 lifeblood in every resting level of the pantheon
if you get more 4 you get 4 life blood for every resting level
And more 4 you get 5 lifeblood
but you would have to do the pantheon of the knight with bindings for 5 lifeblood
Or pantheon of hallownest and let's be real... a normal player won't do it
P4 with bindings too hard? do P5 with bindings to get lifeblood to make P4 easier
Yes
P1 was too hard with bindings I had to get more lifeblood from P5 š
That's the only optimal strategy
mawlek too hard
do every binding besides pantheon of the master
yeah
okay so like
binding tier list
which is worst to do and which is best
soul is probably the worst one I hate soul binding
Basically the health one but you can't even use spells properly
Took me so much to kill collector with the nail doing crap damage it wasn't even funny
Yeah, while collector feels like a bullet hell game
Lost kin lol
other than lost kin and broken vessel

what are some good games
Is blasphemous 2 out?
yeaj
Titan Souls, Cave Story
hollow knight
im pretty much done with HK
Hollow knight silksong
any hard games?perhaps 1. person
rainworld
give it a few more years
Dead cells
Wdym? The game is already out
dead cells, darkest dungeon, katana zero
Dead cells last difficulty is pretty hard
Dark souls
the zaza that good?
how come its good?i heard lots about getting it
Yez
clearly š„¹
fun bosses, good combat, ton of weapons
but its 2d š¦
hollow knight is 2d
HK is different
There are a lot of weapons, the game is pretty big even without the DLCs, it's very smooth, and it can be very chaotic with funny synergies and a lot of enemies in the later difficulties
and it has fun bosses good combat and only 1 weapon
Titan Souls bosses are the funnest
It's a metroidvania and a roguelite
any first person games aswell?ill think about dead cells
risk of rain 2
Minecraft
isnt that multiplayer? and since its been out for like a millenia aint nobody playin that no more
It's not
team fortress 2 is multiplayer
ok how about some story games
i alr got all endings on it
Blasphemous too
is it that good?
Deltarune
Angel of Death, Omori
You're heavy and pretty slow
Deltarune
Where the knight is light and fast
yeah not being able to move while swinging on the ground was so offputting at first but i got used to it mostly. have to use the slide a lot, or jump.
I thought blasphemous would be easy since I'm pretty good at hk
something i love tho is that air impulse thing where you hold the slide button while hitting in the air and you get a little upward momentum, lets you air chase enemies really hard and its fun
Turned out the skillset doesn't transfer really well
Also some bosses are a mess
Especially the girl in the bone temple like wtf it took me forever
She's the absrad of blasphemous
ive only fought like 3 bosses so far lol
keep wanting to play it more and end up doing other stuff
ok i might get dead cells or blashpemous 2
Play the first one
ok i might get dead cells or blashpemous
The story is related so you wouldn't understand anything in the second one
It's not like silksong or undertale/deltarune
meh ill get to like it
tbh i dont understand anything in the first one
ik its not my cup of tea
blasphemous > dead cells
very hollow knight esque in its cryptic story telling
pixelized MOSTLY isnt my cup of tea but i can like it
Like in hollow knight it'll click in your head near the end
25 euros to pay š¬ where do i get that dough from
cool. hopefully i can get some of it lol bc even with hollow knight i learned most of the lore and stuff from mossbags video after i beat it lol
but i got the basics myself i think
the sequel costs less rn lmao
my friend isnt a fan of the artstyle change, thats all i really know abt it
I hope it has actual movement abilities not just items that allow you to cross gaps
That's the only complaint I have for the first game
The movement abilities don't do anything in combat
i see.
true actually getting platforms as powerup is kinda lame lmao
Also there should've been a rosary bead allowing you to parry projectiles
Because oh my god
ive never been much of a parry enjoyer more of a dodging andy so i havent felt that pain much except for one boss in particular where it probly wouldve helped a lot
idk its name but it shot a million red orbs and also fireballs at me i only won bc i found out i could at least hit the red orbs back at it
was like a head with a hole that i had to hit
this is not hk offtopic
Go play blasphemous mate
Hop on #off-topic
Havent got the game
Hop on stop being a mod
"off topic and hollow knight series discussion" doesnt say it has to be hk
the other off topic just specifically doesnt allow hk i think is the point of it

give us all some money
But do it either way
Give me some time to sell some Simo bath water and ill hook you all up

Anyone want Simo bath water
No
I guess ill take my stuff else where
Hello everynyan. How are you? Fine, thank you.
This
So it doesn't have to be hk related
Its hk-offtopic not hk-topic 
kinda topic off hk when u think abt it
What software was Hk made on?
Unity
Alr thx
So if you wanted to create a mod for hk or something along those lines, to C# you go
Mmmm c#
C tictactoe
True!
Who do yall think is harder pure vessel or nkg
Dunno
ehhh I'd say they are about equal
Yeah same
Pure vessel
Pure vessel is more unpredictable
it really depends on your playstyle
no wya thommie mod.,..,,
Tougher overall moves to master dodging. agreed. Never had trouble with nkg dance , its a go with the flow dance that can be perfectly mastered. The audio queues and soundtrack make it even more doable too to master.
I've perfected both and tbh it's hard to say, Pure Vessel manages to get you on some pretty tight situations meanwhile Grimm has a lot of space for movement
For radiant probably yes haha.
Imo pv keeps you on your toes more
Yeah
Its tight no margin for error.
And that's because its attacks can weave into each other and end up comboing you
pv has a lot of margin for error
I beat nkg and pv hitless but I can't beat marmu
Try max nail range.
In nkg you get like a second between attacks, but pv's attacks moreso blend together
Try holding up and spamming nail
Hard disagree one bad moment can combo you to death easily.
valid same thing happened to me that's so valid
I beat absrad on radiant before marmu I'm not even joking rn
dawg its not like PV disables Iframes
He's gonna go on about hitboxes and how easy pv is and shit
not really
The game has precautions to prevent comboing you to death
pv's attacks don't come fast enough for that, and they have a long wind up
Pv without iframes sounds fun af
Yeah, you can easily get away if you have a fast enough reaction time for it lol
Just chaos
If there's a mod of that I'd definetly try it out
pv will teleport away from you most of the time, you don't even have to find space it'll just give you space for free
Pv is simply put a faster fight that requires better reaction times.
True
it's not really faster than nkg
Yeah
Not so much it being faster but moreso how its attacks can blend together.
most attacks have like at least a half second telegraph
they don't do that to any greater extent than nkg
They do it more than nkg
both bosses have a pretty long pause in between attacks
tammo you should give help in hkdisc too
ew no
Based Tammo
I'd argue pv's is slightly less than nkg's
Pv is not really faster but more interactive. NKG summons attacks whereas pv has more moving hitboxes that you can also interact with (=pv slashes, jumpsā¦). This being the windows for dealing damage makes it harder than following the identical pattern to get to nkg and then hit it once to repeat that very move
hey wait what the-
pv is way more generous with letting you do damage
that's true
This as well 
that's basically hkdisc reg already
they use some pretty similar attacks in general, nkg just doesn't let you hit him during the spikes
Pv and nkg are ez but failed champion is hard
fc' stagger cheese go brr
Failed Champion goes down in one stagger
Failed champion is free kill but only when i use quickslash/strength. Without those i mess up a lot on him weirdly enough
I died on failed champion in p5 once and now I hate him
Man fuck failed champion all my homies hate failed champion
I think I died to him too once
Still can be fun if you donāt just chain staggers
Failed champion watching me bonk him on the armor and reading his thoughts for soul
Players more confident in pv will have relatively less trouble in that fight as they dont have to find workarounds for damage. Instead they can and will punish during the attacks and at every possible time.
This makes it more reactive. Its faster regarding what you have to do but slower if you are just dodging.
Nkg Is different, you nearly always have to move your way through or at least avoid the attacks prior to attacking yourself.
Dodging is relatively easy; its all the very identical setup everytime however this doesnt allow as much improvement because you can not avoid first having to dodge before making your own move.
The skill curve is very different, pv gives you more room for improvement but taking the opportunities is also tied to higher risks.
PV is an endurance boss, NKG is a speed boss
NKG has a lot of the same attack opportunities pv does
Both are a test of different skill sets
You can hit him during most attacks, and fire pillars are basically a free damage state
Mhmm
And like pv a lot of the damage opportunities are during attacks
Fire pillars 
Theyāre similar fights in how you approach them
Sharp Shadow for NKG is kinda goated
I get a slow attack is fine and all but like you can dodge that by holding map and left or right 
Ill speak with numbers. Nkg was around 3 hours of tries when i was actually terrible at the game on first run. Truly terrible. Pv took 5 hours or so, even though it was on 3rd playthrough and after having played the game for 100 hours. Insane difference.
And?
It took me exactly 35 tries to beat nkg on first run.
I didn't count for pv but it wasn't thaat much more
OK
That speaks to where your specialty regarding hollow knight's skill lies, not the core difficulty of the boss.
what attack do you use sharp shadow on
Yeah what lol
You can use it on dash but itās worse than just pogo
Just pogo his goofy ass
And uppercut ig but itās even worse there because you can often get two hits
I wish I had quickslash when I fought nkg for the first time
Would've made it a lot easier
not just for NKG sharp shadow just isn't good for like the entirety of the bosses
Why does pure vessel give me mantis lords vibes
I haven't found a single attack where it does more damage than just pogoing
Consistent attacks at regular intervals
Probably because his dashing animation looks like mantis lords dash animation
Kind of
Not really
It has the dash, the down slash, and the projectiles which are (not really) kinda like the mantis lords fight
Flame Pillars and spikes I believe
spikes??? 
For pillars it lets you get extra damage without taking damage
How on earth does sharp shadow help with either of those
Heās⦠not even in the arena during spikes
(hitting the pillars doesn't deal damage)
Spikes are actually perfect spacing for sharp
Just... walk
Not using it for damage there
But why??? You can't deal and damage
or dash
Then it does nothing
Itās a quick recovery
Why???? The whole purpose of sharp shadow is to do damage
Shadow lengthens dash
It literally just makes your dash deal damage lmfao
no its to get longer dash
No it also lengthens shade cloak dash lol
Which doesnāt help you with spikes since you can just⦠move
Pillars isn't particularly good to use Sharp Shadow, I believe you lose damage when attacking a still target with SS
^
Just walk.
Why would you waste the notches for that
Because placement for that can be inconsistent
not really
Just move out the way and use the notches for something else
Better to have a safety net for things like PoH
If you have trouble with spikes then maybe you should practice a little harder
If position of the spikes being inconsistent is a problem for you then itāll still be a problem with sharp shadow
Just walk? You can hit nkg like 4 times during this attack
I donāt have trouble, itās just inconsistent where they spawn and where Iām at
Then it will still be inconsistent with ss
That's the point. Walk 4 cm and you're safe.
Heās not on screen for spikes
Sharp shadow doesnāt change where the spikes are
It changes how far you can dash Tammo lol
As Iāve already said
That doesn't mean anything lmfaoo
That doesnāt make it more consistent
Which doesn't affect where the spikes are
That doesn't make anything more consistent
or how consistent they are
Thereās just no actual step from your evidence to your claim
It does because the spacing between spikes with extended dash fits more consistently from personal experience
What 
That makes no sense at all
Or at least it does in my runs shrug
Nothing is affecting consistency
wha?? 
So confirmation bias go brrr
Iām not stating it as an objective fact, itās just better for my reaction speed shrug
Idfk
who got the cat stoned
People do it charmless that doesnāt mean charmless is good
Ah whatever, if it works it works
But charmless is badass šš
Unless itās an objectively upgraded damage or health buff nothing is objectively good really
Everything else is biased to playstyle
Charms are generally buffs
Oh no guys tammo discovers the word objective and subjective again š±
Buffs to certain playstyles
Still buffs tho
If someone sucks at using spells, using Shaman wonāt help them
Not the point tho
Whatās the point
Claiming sshadow was good for nkg
true
like jonis in a healing build
Then backpedaled to āI just like itā
The point is what may be helpful for someone may not be helpful for everyone
No, of life
I didnāt backpedal anything lol
I just donāt understand it
You just assumed I was being objective in my statement
hi dragoncorn how's art
non binary?
Not bad
Sharp Shadow can be good if you like using it yeah
"Sharp shadow makes the spikes more consistent" doesn't really work as an objective nor subjective claim
It certainly buffs some things
Itās an attempt at objectivity that flounders because it is total nonsense
As a statement to personal experienceā¦.yeah it does lol
It was more consistent for me, I got hit less often
Were you offering advice?
I was commenting on my time with a boss from personal experience
āIām my personal experience itās perfectly safe to walk out into traffic because I havenāt gotten hit by a car yetā
That's a pure subjective claim. Not objective.
Your personal experience doesn't dictate how consistent the spikes are
Iām not claiming it does?
Yes you were
Subjectively the spikes aren't more consistent
I was commenting on my experience with a boss from personal experience
because thats utter nonsense
She said that she dodges more consistently with ss
Okay so you just misread what I meant then?
Do y'all not have eyes
Nope
Why on earth is everyone arguing
The spacing isnāt at all changed
I dunno, itās a bit dumb
What spikes 
You're readin it wrong ngl
NKGās floor spikes
Bro Iām talking about dodge spacing
Oh the ones it summons
Which is also equally consistent
Wait so is everyone just arguing whether it's easier to dodge nkg spikes with sharp shadow?
This shouldnāt be an argument
Nothing is more or less consistent with sshadow, sshadow dodge length isnāt variable nor is the normal dash
Use sharp shadow if you want
Nobodyās saying you canāt use it
Dude if it works for you then use it why is this a debate
Yāall jumping to assume I thought the floor spikes changed spacing is a bit wild
Nothing changes spacing
hkdisc behavior
Your argument logically necessitates that something changed
You can just say āoh thatās bad wordingā you donāt have to pretend you didnāt say what you said
Iām not even really the one debating atm Iām being challenged over thinking SS makes my NKG runs more consistent lmfao
Tammo you are taking this way seriously
Both of you donāt need to be in this argument
This isnāt what you said but clearly you have no intent of copping to what appears to be an error you recognize so whatever
𤔠
Yeah no kidding does nobody have anything better to do than argue whether an item is good for a fight or not
To be fair arguments like this happen a lot
I don't personally use sharp shadow that often but when I do I think it's alright
Itās better than some charms
cough glowing womb
