Hollow Knight: Silksong General V2: Savage Beastfly

I dunno what it was, in Act 2 late game: Lace 2 could fuck right off. I dunno what it was in particular but man, I tried so many different things and couldn't appropriately react to its weirdly hitboxed vacuum-y attacks. The Beast burst didn't work cuz she counters at immediate frames and stunlocks you. Parry worked well initially but I'd always run out of silk. Because fighting her honestly didn't work, I ended up just doing something more logical. Just stand at a reasonable distance and just jump down slash her. Guess what, it basically counters her entire moveset lmao.

The problem is, I just don't think the game offers that much options to fight honestly. Dash not having i-frames alone means you're basically motivated to not fight close range against any bosses that can hit you in the middle of any animations, like jump (I know you can down dash) or just a standard attack.

Funny enough, after Lace 2 took so long to beat, I basically beat like 4 bosses in related and unrelated places in 2 tries max. The 2nd conefly boss whose runback and getting there alone was much harder, the fire spear guys who turn into a duo boss in the middle, the silk grandmother who was weirdly much easier than Lace, and one other side boss I don't remember. With all that, I think I only have like 1 side boss left in Act 2. I'm trying to look around and don't really see anybody else.
