3:10 the "ineffective goo" can oneshot or deal a LOT of damage to the enemies that are hit by it the moment it lands, after that it applies a blight on them dealing DOT aside from that, you can dash cancel most weapon combos (except for the hammer of course, which you can release earlier to make it faster and still deal a considerable amount of damage) to do the animation of each attack twice, and extend the time it takes for an attack to be released

[@saadhamud]
