Dust Knuckles Theory

Dust Knuckles Theory :

Today i'm here to speak about the Dust Knuckles.

To tell you the truth i would probably not play any% if we were not using Dust Knuckles.

In my route i'm not using any projectile. So i have to find a way to spend my mana until the Flying Dagger.

That means i have 3 stages (half of Mole Knight, plague, treasure and half of propeller) where i have 30 mana (or 80 in propeller case) that i don't use.

So what can we do with those 30 mana.

Well i remember 3ngag3 using the dust knuckles on a Check point.

I actually try that in nearly all Plague Knight Checkpoints and it gives me i would say around a 0.2 secs(maybe more but i didn' time it) time save by doing so and it's only 2 mana points and you can do that on every plague knight checkpoints but the first one (damage boost setup). So you can save 0.8 secs just from that. and we should use them on any enemy that will be in our way like the Chemist before the checkpoint before the mini boss(you dust knuckle him 2 times then pogo) or the bird in the slime/destructible ground section.

In treasure knight stage we might not be able to do that before 420 fish because you need at least 24 mana to quick kill him (20 would be more accurate or even 22 if you are very lucky on 420 fish movement). After that we don't really have any chance to do it either so not very helpfull.

In the mole knight stage the only moment you could get good dust knuckles usage is before getting the dust knuckle the rest of the time you have to wait cycles.

In propeller stage we are already doing good usage of the dust knuckles.
Probably could use them in the Rats room before the mini boss but that's it after that you get dust knuckles.

For the rest we are pretty much in there for the optimisation of dust knuckles. could probably use them a bit more in the tinker knight stage but i guess we are ok there as well.
