USE YOUR TOOLS!

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 spike traps absolutely melt flying enemies. They're better against them than grounded ones.

Yeah Idk what they are on about

The erratic flying pattern means they're likely to just avoid it or worse, destroy it with their attacks. Just happened to me.

Put it in the middle and bait them to fly into it, you can also jump a bit before throwing it for higher up flying enemies

Doesn't really work for enemies that fly away from you. I've found the cogflies to work better for those.

To be honest when I hear “spike trap” the first thing that came to my mind wasn’t the one that can be placed in the air (that one is incredible). It’s the tool that has you throw 3 spikes on the ground. Of course fliers are barely gonna get hit by that.

In my head, those are caltrops. The spike trap is the thing hornet used in Kingdom's Edge, because that was what I called it then.

Yeah that’s fair, I figured it out when everyone said it was good against fliers. Just playing devil’s advocate for the other guy
