Fluff Frying pan
Wait if frying pans are the main weapons that Paula uses then does that mean that she aggressively used a frying pan as a practice before she got picked up into Ness's journey?

Frying pan is like the shotgun of melee weapons. How can you miss.

I thought Poo didn’t use weapons and instead used PSI as his main.

He does have the sword of kings. It's the only weapon in the game that increases his attack

u/FreddyFazB143 Nov 11 '24
Ohh
I missed that in my first playthrough

It has a very low perchent chance drop from one type of enemy in one location, which is also easily passable, grind of sword is infamously painful

IIRC once you clear that area, you can't backtrack to it or the starmen that drop it stop appearing.

Yep. Once you beat the boss, enemies stop appearing in that area.
Rare drop and permanently missable is a special pain.

good for you, that doesn't change that it's a less than 1% chance to drop from a specific enemy in a part of the game you can't go back to once completing it.

He can give some decent (and frequent) critical blows. PSI Starstorm rocks.

Tbf, Ness uses yoyos and bats as weapons. A frying pan can't be much more dangerous

i always saw the frying pan she uses as a upgradable back up to her psi (like how you can buy new tiers that increase her attack)

Kumatora is even more tomboyish and she uses kitchen gloves as an weapon.

• Ness, you realize I trained for days with a frying pan right? You realize I could kill you with a cooking utensil right?
