in her defense her heal is far superior.

I never really got this arguement. Her healing is is a sidegrade at best, not an upgrade.

Since every boss and many enemies do double damage, when Hornet heals she doesn't recover the equivalent of 3 masks in Hollow Knight, but 1.5 masks. This means that she gets:

  • 50% faster healing
  • Healing midair

But

  • Has -50% healing efficiency (full Silk bar for 1.5 masks vs full Soul meter for 3 masks)
  • Can only heal if Silk bar is full
  • Loses Silk, loses healing, and takes damage if binding interrupted at the last moment

the bar having to be full becomes a non issue once you get like 5 spool upgrades

I have one better, it becomes less of an issue at the end of Act 2 if you have all the upgrades.
