This tier list will rank all the Tools you can acquire in Hollow Knight: Silksong, from best to worst, based on various factors.
Tools are a major part of your build in Hollow Knight: Silksong. However, not all are equally useful. Some will undoubtedly be better than their peers. Therefore, you should try to ensure that you are not accidentally using a debilitating Tool during your run.
This tier list will provide you with a complete rating of tools, based on various factors such as utility, accessibility, and sheer damage as well. Not all Tools will be useful only in combat. This tier list will take into account their usage outside of combat as well, and rank them accordingly.
Complete Tools Tier List in Hollow Knight Silksong
This tier list will rank these tools from S-tier all the way down to D-tier, if any exist in that category.
Of course, this does not mean that you should not use a particular Tool when it is available. Sometimes you will be limited due to a lack of other good options, or simply have a personal preference towards a certain Tool. This is completely fine, as you can likely clear the game regardless of what equipment you are using.
