I just can't get any use of the mana regen orbs on Reaper. I can only do well in this game if I methodically tackle each enemy by learning their patterns and going in when the timing is right. When I see the orbs everywhere it makes me try to abandon my plan and just rush to grab them asap before they disappear, but that just means I'll get hit. This is why I can't use Flea Brew or Flintstone either, the pressure to get in as many attacks as possible before they run out just means I'll get hit.
Flea brew is useful when the enemy is stunned and you can get a bunch of extra hits. I've basically kept flea brew the whole game and on every crest. Having to refill it is a dumb design decision though. Same with having to refill the vial that gives you extra HP
As for the platinum, Hollow Knight was the same way with requiring ridiculous runs. I'm playing on Switch 2 personally
Aaaand Trobbio is kicking my ass right now. Really cool fight though
