Weeb cringe

if you use firecrackers you are playing in journalist mode

Its a crutch but one that just gives you time to do one or two free actions for a cost, don't know if I would call that trivializing. Its definitely good though.

I'd say flame vent or mist raven trivialize things more just because their combo moves are OD

What kind of ninja doesn't try to trivialize a situation at every opportunity?

Does not work on the final boss

>2-3 free hits plus causing posture damage
>Interrupts literally everything in the game
>Can be spammed 10 times in a row

Phantom Kunai works for a free 25%

Phantom Kunai is severely underrated those butterflies are fucking vicious enemies either block the kunai and get hit by those which take out a decent chunk of health or they take the time to block every butterfly which gives you just a large of a window for some free attacks as the firecrackers

>a couple free hits you could get anyways with correct timing
>doesn't interrupt enemies in the middle of attacks or if you're one cm too far
>only 10 uses or less per rest

It would still show up at the collection box you dweeb fuck.

It let's you get one, maybe two, hits in on most enemies.

It trivializes boar, but it's not gonna get you far against isshin, owl, etc.

Also it requires you walk directly up to your opponent and drop your guard.

It gets you a few hits per use. This is enough to get a lot of enemies' HP low enough to damage their posture.
Obviously it won't be as effective for Isshin because of all his phases but the first 2 are already a cake walk.

I got more use out of shurikens. They kill regular wolves and zapwolves with one hit (except Lone Swordsman summons), they can be used as tools to kite before you get Finger and Gouging Top deals hp damage to bosses (really good on headless Rape Ape) and will sometimes break aggro until you can take a sippy.

Firecrackers are good for Chained Ogre, but take too long to actually come out. Most times I tried to use them I would just get fucked up by whatever boss I was fighting.

-3 free hits
One hit on most bosses
>>Interrupts literally everything in the game
Takes time to come out.
>>Can be spammed 10 times in a row
And then you can't use it anymore.

retard shitposter didn't play the game and just watched youtube videos huh

>using prosthetics
lmao

I tried to spam it on the Temple Bull, but he did not give a fuck 75% of the time. Rape Ape got easier when I stopped trying to use firecrackers on him too.

Its actually crazy how good this item is, despite most people's total aversion to using consumable items in video games outside of healing items

Like the amount of people who had trouble fighting Chain Ogre would have shot down dramatically if they used the plethora of ash you have in your inventory at that point. Combine the ash with the flame prosthetic and you basically don't let the boss react

Its not enough, we still need an easy mode

I mean those shield guys or hat midgets are fucking gay to fight without the based axe

Use fire against animals.

>chronic pain
This always sounds funny. It's too vague to take seriously.

Flame Vent is even slower than firecrackers. All of the prosthetic tools suck and make most encounters more difficult (at least with my playstyle). Pretty disappointing desu.

I have scoliosis, multiple fucked up nerves in my neck from football and pretty bad wrist problems from playing Mobas and CS too much. Sitting down hurts basically all the time but that's never been an excuse for me. Like Sekiro isn't even really a high apm game, you can do really well without having to press many buttons

flame vent and oil is absolutely brutal on the (g)rape ape. stuns him and does oodles of damage in both forms too

This is the best one

>flame vent r2
>press r1 for flaming sword
>great mist raven r2
>press r1 for sliding dash attack from behind them

I don't disagree with you there. I barely used my prosthetic. I don't think I used Divine Abduction once outside of that one specific quest. I heard Malcontent is really good against Demon of Hatred by I was too lazy to craft it.
Hell, I didn't even find the spear. They were kind of disappointing. Maybe I would've found more use if I put points into the specific skill tree but I liked fisting people more.

What is up with those hat midgets? The first time I fought one I used the axe and it worked fine, but every other time I have to use it multiple times to get the deathblow. Do I need a specific timing or something?

Needs to be a specific type of hat, I think.
