Well if I’m trying to drop my Ego a bit more before hitting the later threads, I’d rather not inflict any damage to the current one, especially if it’s already been bashed down to having less than 50 health left.

Also, keep in mind that you overkill a lot of threads, so that weak attack won’t likely make a difference, and keeping Blinded with Rage on there lets me just have one shortcut clogged up with a “skip” option, as opposed to using two for Drool and Bash Head.

What could possibly be the benefit of a 0-damage, 3-second attack over a damaging, quicker attack? It’s not like you’ll lower your health faster if you just sit there without damaging the thread. I’m pretty sure all threads in a forum use the same damage formula, so you can’t stall on a high-Attack thread. The thread will do the same counter-attack damage regardless of whether you do damage, unless you kill the thread, which can only be good for you. Blinded With Rage won’t screw with the speedrun timer in any way. As an Emo, you have plenty of toolbar room, so that probably isn’t the issue.

tl;dr version: Why not use a quicker attack that does a little damage instead of a slow attack that does nothing?
