Pimpillo
Pimpillo is a
Red Tool in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Using it throws a bouncing projectile.
Usefulness
The Pimpillo explodes either on contact with an enemy or after its fuse has expended after 1.2 seconds, dealing Heavy Damage.
The Pimpillo is a powerful explosive that works well at clearing out groups of enemies or dealing great damage within a small time span. However, due to its low capacity, it has a relatively low total damage output and can struggle to do meaningful damage to bosses.
Being in contact with the Pimpillo's explosion will immediately reverse the frosting effect on Mount Fay by 35%
Tool Synergies
