Wanderer's Crest for sure. You mention it's because it's the closest to the moveset in HK1 but I use it because it simply does the most damage with the highest attack speed. You gain one silk per hit on all crests, so the quick attack speed of Wanderer's lets you tank hits and quickly get enough silk to heal back. The high attack speed also lets you parry many attacks by just spamming, even if you didn't mean to.

I wasn't the biggest fan of it at first but when you pair it with

the tool that increases the length of your attacks

I think it's hands down the best. Other crests can be useful in certain fights but I kept it on for most of the game.

My tier list is this:

(S) Wanderer

(A) Hunter

(B) Reaper / Architect / Beast

Yeah, especially the accidentally parrying saved me a lot of health and I honestly think that should even be nerfed a bit. It was to easy to just spam and even be rewarded for it.
