Useful Info

Hornets are a dangerous flying insect. Their poisonous stings can also slow and paralyze you. They are most common in the Dungeon and the Swamp.

Tips & Tricks

  • Poison resistance reduces the chance of getting slowed or paralyzed, but you need poison immunity to be completely safe.
  • Never fight them in an area that allows you to be surrounded. Paralysis is bad enough when you only have to worry about one hornet.
  • Their mediocre willpower makes other status effect-inflicting wands, as well as most Hexes, quite effective against them.

History

  • In 0.19, hornets replaced wasps and became more common. Also, they were slightly nerfed.
  • Prior to 0.16, this monster was known as red wasp.
  • Prior to 0.8, their paralysis effect could stack. They were near-certain death to anyone stung without the proper defenses.
