say hi to hallownest's biggest jobber: hornet
seriously what the fuck happened. the knight felt much stronger and better to control than this weak bitch

The aerial downward thrust going left or right feels bad, I wish it could just be a pogo jump.

>Knight is a Vessel born of the Pale King and White Lady that exists solely to attempt to stop the Infection
>Hornet exists because Herrah wanted a child and wouldn't do the seal without one
Hornet is weaker than her Vessel half-siblings by virtue of her parentage and why she exists
The positive other side of that is that she is an actual person/bug and not a genderless Void creature
>>
>>719964238
You beat her several times as the knight, I don't know why you're surprised that she's weaker than him.

The lesson of Hollow Knight is that parents kinda suck sometimes

you are crazy hornet has much better moveset which you can actually change as well (no more divekick instead downward pogo with creeper or wandere chrest)

If you spent less time bitching and more time playing you might actually discover something.

hornet is more mobile
knight is tankier and pure raw damage

That's ludonarratively excellent, though. Hornet is more mobile, but can't push out enemies just by spamming basic attack because she's just not that strong.

By late HK you really feel like your little guy has a lot of force behind his strikes, and the game really tempts you to just facetank damage and bully the shit out of enemies by spamming basic attack and dive spell. For their big telegraphed hit that deals one mask, you can get 7 hits of your own in. Hornet can't do that, but she's better at not getting hit, if you're good at not getting hit.

Yeah no shit nigger. Did you even play Hollow Knight? It was made abundantly clear that Hornet is much weaker than the Knight.
Did you expect them to retcon the entire first game and turn her into some unstoppable girlboss?

is hornet even mortal? she's half-god and the gods are definitely immortal, she's also been alive for an extremely long time.

Shes a demi god, likes Hercules. Potential for godhood ascension is there. She is basically immortal

He is a worm, he could have metamorphosed, turned into a butterfly/winged worm or whatever and fly away looking for another kingdom to reestablish his realm.
>>
>>719973381
How the fuck did he die by the way?
We just find his body on his throne like he was waiting for something
>>
>>719964361
You can.
>>
>>719973727
My cannon is he metamophosed and cut his loss and ditched the hallowed nest. Seems reasonable for his kind. Travel worm. He already changed his form once so he can probably do it again.
>>
>>719973727
maybe he just gave up and died of heartbreak because he couldn't save his kingdom despite trying his best
>>
>>719973381
immortal doesn't mean they can't be killed
and radiance was so resistant to death she survived in fucking dreams
>>
>>719973907
He can't die that easily. He is on the same level as radiance and she was a cockroach in term of survival

My main complaint thus far is the lack of build variety.
I've got like, seven or eight charms so far - but they aren't really interesting.
They're divided into two categories for some reason, idk.
I miss mix-and-matching charms and fucking around with weird configurations.
> There's plenty of build variety, what about the tools
Eh, there's nothing wrong with the tools, but I've been hardwired to only expend limited resources as a dire last resort - which is short hand for 'I'll basically never use them'.
Its a habit that I can't shake, but the unavoidable cost of that is I simply don't care for the Tools.
Also, I may be mistaken but I don't believe the any of the equipment actually effects each other's functionality in any way either - which is a bit of a letdown.

My only other complaint is how you can really feel that this game started its existence as a DLC for hollow knight.
The game isn't a metroidvainia - it feels incredibly linear and straightforward.
Sure, you get new methods of traversal as the game progresses - but there aren't many cases where you return to a region to access areas previously inaccessible to you.
Those new modes of traversal are almost exclusively used for progressing into new areas.
You unlock shortcuts here and there, but I don't really have a reason to use them.
Aside from the fact that they aren't all that convenient, there are simply no unexplored spaces on my map to motivate me to go back.

Cheese is just as satisfying as winning normally, in my experience.
I never feel worse for cheesing a fight vs beating it the normal way.

It’s the implications. Hornet is canonically running around with nothing but a robe that barely covers her with all the acrobatic moves she does.
