Playing Silksong normally, I knew that I didn't need to bind after taking one mask of damage and to save my bind for when I can make the most of it.

This does not apply to Steel Soul, at least in early game.

At base health, if you take one mask of damage in Steel Soul, you have 4 masks. You are susceptible to taking 2 hits of 2 masks each in quick succession.

This is how I have lost 2 of my 3 Steel Soul attempts so far. (First loss was from being sniped by a Skarr Scout projectile from offscreen while binding.)

May my soul find its rest.
