Small spoiler but there is a crest that makes the attacks like hollow knight attacks (though with less range it seems). It makes some pogo sections harder but as you get more movement abilities that becomes less of an issue.
Yeah, I have that and basically used it as my default.
I’ve finished the game already and am now going back through each section to see what I can unlock still.
I used that for a while as well but eventually swapped to the reaper because I felt I got a more comfortable experience with the reaper. The moveset is slower but you get more range and the downward slash is similar to the wanderer. You also get better slots than the wanderer and your silk binding gets an added benefit getting extra silk when attacking. In theory wanderer is probably stronger in raw DPS but I with all the whiffing I did and not getting too greedy with my attacks I probably end up having the same DPS with the reaper.
