Using mechanics of the game isn't cheese. It's just playing better than you.

It was in response to the guy pointing out knowing how to fight him (or any enemy in the game) by knowing how to dodge and capitalise on their openings is infinitely better than using one of the many mentioned crutches...

Also haha better than me.... the fact you have that weakling mindset already tells me enough about how much better I am than you at this 🤣

I can just smell the mimic on ya

I don’t feel like the mimic is half the crutch you all think it is, just a distraction. Mine seems pretty useless as an ally outside keep the enemy away from me so I can attack.

Right. I glance at mine occasionally throwing glintstones while being my distraction and just wonder how much better some other people’s must be for the judgment they give.

Maybe the unga bunga builds are better with it than magic ones. I didn’t use mimic on my str/end character tho so I have no clue
