Useful Info
Hornets are a dangerous flying insect. Their poisonous stings can also slow and paralyze you. They are most common in the Vaults, the Swamp, and especially in the Spider's Nest.
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.
- You can summon your own hornets by drawing the Foxfire card.
- Their mediocre magic resistance makes other status effect-inflicting wands, as well as most Hexes, quite effective against them.
