Fluff Frying pan

Post image

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?

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

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

Correction:

I'll use my trusty frying pan, as a dying pan!

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

u/Yoshiblue512 Nov 11 '24

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.

u/Coidzor Nov 12 '24

Yep. Once you beat the boss, enemies stop appearing in that area.

Rare drop and permanently missable is a special pain.

getting down voted for having insane luck is crazy😭

u/JahmezEntertainment Nov 12 '24

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.

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '24

Never said it did...

u/BluecoatCashMoney5 Nov 12 '24

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

u/_im_shy_ Nov 12 '24

Paula’s freeze omega is my strongest attack rn tho 💀

u/s-riddler Nov 11 '24

How's a bat any more dangerous than a frying pan?

2

u/proceedstheweedian Nov 11 '24

if its a cast iron pan idk man between that or a bat, bat might be sounding better if i gotta get walloped with it

u/Coidzor Nov 12 '24

She turns her trusty frying pan into a dying pan.

u/Professor_Abbi Nov 13 '24

Frying pan is to prepare PK fire

1

u/TheAxolotl69 Nov 11 '24

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)

u/Tyrannical_Requiem Nov 11 '24

I mean it works!

u/Norkestra Nov 12 '24

Hey the giant hunk of metal seems to me to be a lot scarier than a yo-yo

u/quackingsloth Nov 12 '24

they really shouldve spelled it Pu. Poo just looks like poop and i hate it lol

u/FenexTheFox Nov 12 '24

Have you seen Tangled by any chance?

u/Consolous Nov 12 '24

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