Tools

Tools are interchangable 'sub weapons', such as projectiles, traps and various other helpful items. They must be crafted and will be used by Hornet in the upcoming game, Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Mechanics
Tools have been hinted at being the equivalent for charms in Silksong.

It is yet unknown how the crafting system will work or whether they cost anything to use.

Known Tools
Several tools have been shown in the trailer for Silksong


 * The 'Pimpillow', A projectile that explodes on contact or when ignited by its fuse.


 * Caltrop-like items that work similarly to the spike balls used by Hornet Sentinel. Can be used to reach higher places in a movement similar to the Nail-bounce, which activates the spikes.


 * Small, red bugs that follow Hornet around. They appear to work similarly to the hatchlings summoned by the Glowing Womb charm.


 * A kunai-like dagger that can be thrown at high speed.


 * A blue item similar to a syringe. Hornet jabs herself with it to gain one Lifeblood Mask.


 * A contraption resembling a buzz saw that trundles along the ground, damaging enemies it collides with.


 * Tools that resemble mantis claws can be seen in the 'Tools' menu, but are not yet seen in use.
