Beast Crest
The Beast Crest turns Hornet savage: powerful slashes and a Bind that triggers a life-stealing fury instead of a heal.
- Playstyle
- Savage slashes, life-steal fury
- Unlock
- Defeat Savage Beastfly, Beast Chapel
The Beast Crest is the aggressive, no-retreat option. It gives Hornet savage, powerful slashes, and changes what Bind does: instead of a clean heal it triggers a life-stealing fury, so you claw health back by attacking rather than pausing to mend. Its loadout drops the Blue defensive slots entirely, doubling down on offense. You earn it by defeating the Savage Beastfly in the Beast Chapel. It is the Crest for players who want to win every fight by killing faster than they can be killed.
