for speedruns it would be useful to jot down (or memorize) - how much HP every enemy has - what every Aid Bell does, or at least the good ones (ones that hit "ALL" enemies are my favorite. they create an invisible AoE around you. Viscine's is great, does 6 damage to all and heals you for 10. Ori's can do 10 to all. Himiko's does 20 but only after seeing her last door cutscene) - try to remember enemy spawnpoints as well also - remap your controls in a way that feels more comfortable. the default layout is a bit odd to me - all swords are better than the Basic Blade i think. even Rusted Blade is better i would say. - 'X' skips text faster than 'Space' but it also moves the camera down, so I hold 'C' to keep it in place, on top of also spamming attacks at the right time. maybe the input display in the vid could be helpful to look at but I do mess up a lot and there's probably a faster way to do everything so take it with a grain of salt. Evil Lilith = 50-60ish? Hanuman = 50 (only starts spawning after getting Sitar) Mainan Hantu = 30 Wazawai = 30 Carabia = 30 Mech = 25 Distressing = 18 Skeleton = 15 Mushroom = 10 Sickly Women = 10 Cute Thing = 5 tbh though the combat is just kinda scuffed no matter what. i've played a lot of hours and it still feels pretty jank compared to anything else i've played lol, so do whatever works for you
glad to see a new run! any recommendations on optimizing combat, speed-wise?
