The Witch Crest gives Hornet sweeping whip-like swings and the ability to leech life through silk roots.
- Playstyle
- Sweeping whip swings, leech
- Unlock
- Give Yarnaby the Steel Spines
The Witch Crest reshapes the needle into sweeping, whip-like swings with extra coverage and lets Hornet leech life through silk roots, a sustain-focused twist on her offense. Its slots favour Blue defensive tools, making it a durable, control-oriented loadout. You unlock it by giving Yarnaby the Steel Spines after completing the relevant wishes. It rewards players who like to lock down space and grind enemies down safely.
