Flea Brew Tool Notes & Tips in Hollow Knight Silksong
- The Flea Brew comes in handy when engaging with multiple foes, or a boss monster that requires several landed hits before it dies. An activated charge propels Hornet to move swifter and attack faster, taking the battle to a whole new level.
- This speed modifier can be used in combo with Flintslate, which amplifies the damage of your needle when activated for a duration of time.
Anonymousnever used this considering you have to run through the swampy area in act 3

Anonymousmakes fighting bosses a lot of fun, so to balance it out you gotta run through bug hell to replenish it.

AnonymousI would've put it in my top best tools list but I kinda dislike the runbacks everywhere the Caravan decide to move lol, WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO GO THROUGH PUTRIFIED DUCTS TO REFILL, OR BILEWATER.

It appears to increase the wanderer's crest's attack speed by 10-20%

AnonymousWay too short of a duration. Should have been way longer, but maybe weaker effect to compensate. Same problem as Flintslate

AnonymousEasily the best tool in the entire game, especially with Cross stitch. Your attacks being faster not only means you can generate silk for cross stitch faster, but you also have less endlag on your moves and can cross stitch to avoid damage you otherwise would have had to eat. While you're beating up a staggered boss, make sure you drink this first because you'll still get all your hits in AND if they come at you with an attack right out of their stagger, you can counter them immediately and punish them for trying to punish your greed. Insanely fun tool, extremely good tool, 10/10. Long live Drunken Fist Hornet!

AnonymousHonestly doesn't last long enough, usually the duration will already be half depleted before you even get a proper opening to make use of it. Lots of bosses don't give you an opening big enough, off the top of my head I can think of bosses like Sister Splinter where this would probably be very good, but otherwise..
One advantage though is that once you reach Act 3 it doesn't cost anything to replenish.
AnonymousWhat happens if you use the poison trinket with this? Does it make you deal poison damage while buffed?

AnonymousThe recharge will be free of charge when you found all the other fleas and activate the Mooshka's wish in Bellhart
