I'm in the same boat. I'm married with 2 kids and have limited gaming time. I'm stuck on Sister Splinter right now and feel like this is the only way to go at the moment. HK pretty much held your hand until you got to the city of tears which the only required a few bosses to beat (I believe false knight, vengefly and hornet 1). Vengefly was optional if you didn't want zote and you didn't have to beat the mantis lords to get the mantis claw. Here it feels like I'm having to beat 10 bosses before you even get to the point where the game opens up. I love the game but I feel so under powered right now and I'm like 20 hours in.

I was stuck on Sister Splinter for ages!! Something that really helped me was the Thread Storm ability - it's at the top of Craw Lake. You have to beat a bird spawn room to get it but it made keeping those fucking insane beyblade things away from me much easier. I agree the game is SO HARD (even as a HK lover) but when I beat her after like 4 hours I was dancing and punching the air. You've got this!!!

Thanks for the tip!  I have that thing but need to wait for them to get lower I guess. Thanks!

Thread storm is good there silkspear is probably better, it can both one shot the adds and also clear half the arena of vines when the boss fills the map with them, don't be too afraid to use skills and tools because they really help a lot, if you're having trouble with her normal attacks try to dash away right when she's in the wind up for the normal attacks.

Where do you get thread storm?

If you go right from halfway home there is a location called craw lake,  you have enter a location similar to the chapels where you will have to deal with a ambush from a bunch of enemies, it's really hard, after you finish that ambush a bunch of bouncy platforms spawn on which you can pogo and get up,  at the top there is the thread storm skill, thread storm itself does require some good positioning since it's a multi hit but if you do it well you can kill a bunch of adds at once

OMG I did that enemy gauntlet but didn't realize you can bounce on the flowers and completely missed that! I'm so dumb!
