Tsukumo have many different upgrades to choose from, but in this article we are going to focus on the best ones for you to choose. However, first you will need to have built a Campfire, which is one of the Dragon Karakuri. After that, you can upgrade your Tsukumo at these Campfires by using Old Cogs that you have collected throughout the game. Without further ado, here are the best upgrades for your Tsukumo.

Assist Form

This Form will help to boost the revival speed of a Tsukumo when it dies, which means that your Tsukumo will spend more time in battle helping you out and less time lying around. Although, to be honest they aren’t being lazy – just dead! Anyways, the Assist Form will also boost their healing powers in a fight.

The Threader Form

This Form can help you to get more Karakuri Thread when you need it the most, because it increases the speed at which Tsukumo will give you the Thread. Therefore, it can be helpful in a pinch to keep your store of the Karakuri Thread full for the next time you need it.

The Attack Form

Fairly straightforward, the Attack Form is great for boosting the attack power of the Tsukumo, meaning it can deal more damage in battle and help you to finish off the Kemono you fight quicker. Additionally, having this Form on Tsukumo will help them to hold their own in battle which means they won’t die as often.

The Defense Form

Last but certainly not least, the Defense Form will make your Tsukumo sturdier and also prevent them from dying less in battle. This is great to help you have access to their healing power more often in a fight, which can be the difference between life and death if you are fighting a tough opponent like a Golden Tempest.
