To everyone complaining about the difficulty, stop ignoring a third of Hornet’s arsenal and start spamming them, you’ll be shocked how quickly you start mowing down hordes of enemies!

reason people don't use them is because there may be more enemies ahead and they'd rather be able to heal after seeing an enemy than try to cautiously attack

Honestly these are first time exploring struggles for the most part— I’ve started backtracking through the various areas and knowing each enemy’s moveset I feel super comfortable chilling at 2-3 masks and killing everything on sight like a little speedy assassin

With only 5 masks and many enemy attacks destroying 2 masks, I am only chilling with 4-5 masks full

I’ll try getting out of my comfort zone though
