Hollow Knight: Silksong equips Hornet with numerous silk skills and abilities. You can use these to customize the build to your liking.
Silk skills in Hollow Knight: Silksong in detail
Hornet has access to six silk skills in the game. You can use these to enhance your gaming experience in Hollow Knight: Silksong to suit your preferred playing style.
- The Silk Spear is one of the first silk skills in the game. It allows you to throw the needle like a spear to hit distant targets. Accumulated silk can increase the power of the throw.
- If you want to hit multiple enemies at once, use the Thread Storm. Hornet uses silk around her to damage all enemies at once.
- The Cross Stitch is used to parry incoming attacks. The silk woven around the needle immediately executes an attack after a successful counter.
- Use the Sharp Arrow to make Hornet sprint forward. Every enemy hit suffers damage. The Sharp Arrow can also be used to quickly escape thanks to its mobility.
- If you want to cause damage over time, use the silk skill Rune Fury. First, mark enemies with runes. The marked enemies will then suffer permanent damage.
- Pale Nails are suitable for defensive builds. Hornet summons nails that fly towards her enemies on their own.
Hollow Knight: Silksong: All other skills at a glance
In addition to the silk skills, there are other abilities that make it easier to take on the numerous bosses in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
- The Fairy Down Cloak allows you to perform a double jump. This is the only way to explore further parts of the individual areas. You can upgrade the cloak later to allow you to glide.
- Nimble Step allows Hornet to sprint much faster. This is especially useful for escaping or when chasing enemies.
- The Grip is ideal for exploring Pharloom. This allows Hornet to cling to walls and then push off again to cover greater distances.
- With the Grappling Hook, you can use the needle like a harpoon. For example, if you hit an enemy, Hornet can reach them much faster.
- With the Needle Strike, you can charge up your attack and execute a powerful attack. This deals significantly more damage.
- The Silk Loop allows you to play your needle like an instrument. You also regenerate silk when you hit enemies.
- You can also use the High Jump. For this ability, Hornet throws her needle at the ceiling and can pull herself up quickly.
- The Sylph Song allows you to recharge silk while resting on benches. This ability is important for returning to the fray with sufficient silk after a knockout.
