How to Equip Silk Skills
Equip in the Crest Menu
To use a skill, you'll need to equip it first in the Crest Menu. The Skills are indicated by the white circle and can be slotted into the white equipment slot of a crest.
Note that equipping a skill requires you to be on a bench first, otherwise, you won't be able to equip or change your skill.
Use Skill by Pressing RB or the F Keybind
To use your Skills, press either the Right Trigger of your Controller or the F button on your keyboard.
Uses Silk to Activate
To activate your skills, you'll need enough Silk to be able to use them. Your silk counter will fill up if you hit enemies or by hitting cobwebs found scattered throughout the map.
