Quick Answer
How Do Sidearms Work in Mina the Hollower?
Short Answer
Sidearms are secondary tools that help Mina handle situations where her main weapon is not the safest option. Use them for enemies that are awkward to approach, dangerous room angles, or boss moments where close-range attacks feel risky.
Beginners should not think of sidearms as replacements for the main weapon. They are problem-solving tools. The best time to use a sidearm is when it makes a dangerous situation simpler or safer.
What Sidearms Are For
Sidearms give you options when a direct attack is uncomfortable. They can help when an enemy is hard to reach safely, when the room layout is awkward, or when a boss gives you only a short window to act.
When to Use Sidearms
Use sidearms when they solve a real problem: a risky approach, a crowded room, a bad angle, or a dangerous enemy that you do not want to fight up close.
When to Save Them
Do not spend sidearms just because they are available. If a normal enemy is easy to handle with your main weapon, save the sidearm for a situation where safety matters more.
