How to Use the Beast Crest
The Beast Crest excels in fights with multiple enemies or bosses that spawn adds. The life drain mechanic gives Hornet strong sustain, letting her recover while staying aggressive. Binding at the right time unleashes a frenzy that tears through enemies quickly.
The tradeoff is that it encourages risky play. Staying too close to enemies means you are more likely to take damage, so the Crest works best when paired with speed and Silk-efficient heals.
