Incredibly fast and powerfull attack. It works best if at least one of the swords is piercing, in that case the piercing one will be used for the attack. Hornet sting gains extra bonus if victim is vulnerable to piercing attacks. Hornet Sting can be used in Thousand Stings combo. You start with a round with Flying Blade finesse, followed by Elbow Strike to disorient the enemy and Pierce Enemy to take advantage of it. Then a round with Storm of Steel finesse and finally two Hornet Stings, which is how the combo got its name. It is also possible to use Hornet Sting defensively in Distracted Talons combo. This combo uses Scissors Block for all melee rounds, first round is followed by Elbow Strike and Dual Slash and second round completes the combo with Wasp Sting, Elbow Strike and Hornet Sting.
