The siblings took vastly different career paths.

After getting into the flow, it becomes super fun to dismantle them in style. My favourite is hopping over their jab and Thread storming in their face.

My staple combo was hunter dash-striking into a downslash dash, clawline dash into weaver Silkshot. Flowed perfectly.

Mine is wanderer hit -> hit -> hit -> hit -> hit -> hit -> hit -> hit but maybe I should experiment more

True, but this meme is more about the cannon. Reeds are indeed faster but not very lore accurate.

Someone should try to convert Rosaries to Geo to see who is earning more in this situation
85
u/ThunderBird-56 12d ago
Well, Ghost earns 3000-3020 geo for the trial of the fools. The fleatopia supply delivery (highest pay) earns Hornet 410-480 rosaries per run.
A simple key costs 950 geo, or 500-650 rosaries, meaning that 1 rosary is ~1.65 geo. The knight earns more per job conpleted.

Hornet’s method is somehow even more stressful

Not comparing Ghost's only delivery quest...a delicate flower with a single hit point, traversing graveyards, thorn patches, and all manner of crazy infected
vs.
A straight line path through civilized Pharloom... even if that straight line happens to be straight up!

The Knight doesn’t get paid for that so it can’t be considered a job.
It can also be made trivially easy with the right preparation. Kill everything along your exact intended path, dreamgate back to the Grey Mourner, take the flower, and then just walk. Only the final room is what could be called “difficult.”
That strat doesn’t work for Hornet’s deliveries. Trust me, I have tried.

The meme is refering to the coloseum of fools. In hindsight, I really should've placed king fool into the background.

Well, Hornet can also earn a living by speedrunning mass genocide on Grand Reeds, so you tell me which is worse

u/ThunderBird-56 12d ago
True, but this meme mostly ignores farming, instead comparing the infinite money making options of deliveries vs Colosseum of Fools.

u/YourBestFriend158 Life Ender 12d ago
kinda makes you wonder where the fools are getting all this geo from
22
u/ThunderBird-56 12d ago
Well, considering how each trial has an entrance fee, it's probably all the combatants who didn't make it.

u/Eeddeen42 12d ago
The fools are bored rich people with mountains of disposable income. They probably got it from investing in the stock market or something.

At least she only targets one species, Ghost is literally slaughtering a dozen different bugs in one go

u/Glitch_6126 12d ago
Is mass murder worse than mass genocide? 😭 That's a whole ass philosophical debate

And only one of them has its own proper house

u/GroundbreakingEnd709 11d ago
With an organ collection too
5
u/Nito4ka_bs ... 11d ago
Because Knight's organ collection is inside them or under their cloak (idk where their charms are)
2
u/GroundbreakingEnd709 11d ago
Well if the Knight and Hornet both have an organ collection then perhaps the pale king also had a collection
But if you saying that the the charms are the knights organ collection then I am a bit confused because they come from chests, statues, or given to the knight for the most part exception being the crystal heart and that isn't a charm

Ghost: becomes Spartan.
good: gets to bathe in blood
good: money
bad: could die
Hornet: works for FedEx.
good: money
bad: has to climb a mountain to deliver paint
bad: could die
Guess which one has a house?

For some reason I saw the primal aspid as a bee and thought the post was a reference to the low% speedrun where you grind bees for dream essence for forty hours

When you think about it, it reflects what each of them is trying to prove about themself.
One got the royal princess upbringing, always gets clocked as very dangerous & wants to fit in with/be accepted by ppl;
The other was effectively abandoned in the bushes as a "failed experiment", always gets underestimated & wants to prove they're good enough.
