Tips and Details

  • With practice, Hornet Sting - Explosion can be used to catch people into a combo and be used as a decent finisher.
  • Hornet Sting is also one of Code: Exotic's few ranged attacks that can be used to deal with explosive mobs and HP absorbing mobs.
  • Hornet Sting's explosion hitbox lasts much longer than the animation indicates.
