Hornet's Combat System

Hollow Knight Silksong introduces a completely new combat system centered around Hornet's unique silk and needle abilities. Unlike the Knight's simple nail attacks, Hornet's combat requires mastery of timing, positioning, and ability combinations.

Our hollow knight silksong combat guide series will cover everything from basic attack patterns to advanced silk techniques that separate novice players from combat masters. Every strategy is tested in actual gameplay scenarios.

Silk-Based Combat

Learn to use Hornet's silk abilities for both offense and defense. Master silk dash attacks, trap placements, and aerial maneuvers that give you the advantage in every fight.

Needle Techniques

Perfect your needle work with precise timing and optimal positioning. Discover combo opportunities and learn when to commit to aggressive attacks versus defensive play.

Advanced Mobility

Hornet's movement options far exceed the Knight's. Learn wall-climbing techniques, air dash combinations, and how to maintain momentum in complex encounters.

Boss-Specific Strategies

Each boss in Hollow Knight Silksong requires different combat approaches. We'll provide specialized techniques for maximizing damage while staying safe.
