Tips and Details

• Hornet Sting's initial hit will only damage the first enemy it comes in contact with, but deals splash damage to all enemies within the explosion.
• 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.
