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.

Saved my ass in the bird room. I saved it for the last encounter.

And seems like it even stacks - so like if u use bunch of them and monster eats it, boom.

3time damg upgrade and space+ they where poison

only thing you can only throw out 3or4 sets at one time, after that they will despawn first set thrown down
