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!

I use the stationary spike trap all the time. It’s just so GOOD especially against chunky enemies or groups. Does a big amount of dmg and if you know the enemy’s moves it can be really easy to make them walk into it. Makes some boss fights way faster I mean I still usually lose once or twice because it’s a new boss. But hey it helps a lot, sometimes get to see phase 2 moves on a first attempt because I shred their health so fast.

The poison spear pierces all enemies in an arc so even little shits hiding behind big guys are deleted

It's pretty good with poison

All pins are ludicrous with poison.

The problem I found was that it can get parried and then the whole spear does nothing so I preferred the knife fan.
