A Few Notes from the Bounding Kingdom

  • Hornet's agility is a key feature of her combat. She has a more acrobatic moveset compared to the Knight, including a faster run speed and the ability to heal while airborne.
  • The **tools** in *Silksong* are a new mechanic, offering a way for Hornet to use her silk in a variety of ways for combat and traversal, from throwing an explosive to setting a trap.
  • Unlike the charms of the original game, *Silksong*'s amulets are rumored to be more versatile and offer a wider range of stat-altering effects, allowing for more diverse builds.
  • The game will feature a new **quest system** with four categories: Gather, Wayfarer, Hunt, and Grand Hunt. These will be given by NPCs or found on quest boards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between a "tool" and an "amulet"?

A: In *Silksong*, amulets are similar to the charms from the first game, providing passive stat boosts or effects. Tools, on the other hand, are active abilities that cost silk to use, adding another layer to Hornet's combat.

Q: How do you upgrade your stats in the game?

A: From what we know, Hornet will be able to increase her base health by finding **Mask Shards**, just like the Knight did. Her needle can also be upgraded, likely by collecting a new type of material and visiting a needlesmith.

Q: Why is there an enemy armor/defense stat?

A: Enemy armor acts as a damage reduction, so even with a powerful build, some enemies will be able to shrug off your attacks. It's a key factor to consider when planning for difficult boss encounters.
