Thread Storm is a Skill in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Using it creates a whirl of Silk around Hornet.

Function

Creates a whirl of Silk centered on Hornet that strikes 5 times, which can be extended to 11 times via repeated input of the SKILL/TOOL button. Thread Storm deals 0.75x Needle Damage in the first 4 hits, the 5th hit deals 0.25x Needle Damage, and the remaining hits deal damage equal to current Needle Level (minimum of 1). Thread storm will destroy most weak projectiles.

Modifiers

• Volt Filament electrifies Thread Storm, increasing the damage by 25% and adding 2 ticks of 5 damage (plus another when extended).
• Shaman Crest sheathes Thread Storm in Soul, increasing the damage by 40%.
  • Volt Filament and Shaman Crest's damage increases add together to grant +65% damage.
• Egg of Flealia reduces the cost of Thread Storm to 3 Silk while at full health.

How to Acquire

Thread Storm can be acquired from a Weaver Burial Spire in the north of the Craw Lake area of Greymoor. After defeating an Enemy Gauntlet of Craws, Tallcraws, and Squatcraws, a lever can be struck to deploy a series of balloons that provide access to the skill.
