I’m so disappointed in this game

I’m doing a no weapons challenge and using only the 4 abilities you get. Now, while you can still attack with your fists, it does basically no damage. So little damage, in fact, that I can’t even one shot those spiky pustules.

I thought melee would become viable after I defeat the panic reaper and get the piercing claw ability. But apparently, it only procs when you have a melee weapon, fists don’t count, even though the ability is called “claws”.

Because of this, my challenge run just got so much more difficult because melee just got thrown out the window.

I hate that claw ability, I have a bad tendency to hold down the ability button when I wanted to dodge, switching me to the claw ability when I least expect it and accidentally kill myself when I go to parry.

it makes sense that unarmed attacks do little damage, every soulslike I've played makes unarmed attacks suck. That said, I assume you can get through everything with just parry and counters anyway.

Sure, but I was planning on using the piercing claws to deal piercing on fodder enemies. Having to parry or use the shield explosion on every one of them gets kind of old
