Overview
They see your beauty, so frail and fine, they see your peace, woven of faith and toil, forget your heart, bound in slumber and servitude, when you wake they shall see your truth, A beast's nature bare to all.
The Hollow Knight Silksong Clan is a clan based on the recent release of Hollow Knight Silksong. Fight the challenges of Heaven and Hell as Hornet, the ancient protector of Hallownest, and her spunky allies from the kingdom of pharloom.
Mechanically, the Clan focuses on a few core new mechanics that capture the essence of Hollow Knight's combat and exploration:
Core Design
- "High Variance; High Reward"
- "Secondary Resource Management"
- "Acrobatic Combat"
Core Mechanics
Silk System
Silk is a new resource that represents Hornet's silk-weaving abilities. Cards can channel silk in exchange for great effects.
How to Gain Silk:
- Warrior Trait: Units with Warrior gain 1 silk when they strike an enemy
- Silk Spells: Many spells provide silk when cast
- Silk Relics: Various relics can increase your maximum silk capacity
- Base Capacity: Start with 12 maximum silk
How to Spend Silk:
- Card Costs: Many powerful cards channel silk in addition to energy
Silksong Trigger
Silksong is a special trigger that activates whenever you play a card that costs silk. This creates powerful synergies between silk-spending cards and units with Silksong abilities.
Status Effects
Imbue: A temporary buff that provides additional attack at the start of each turn. Lost when the unit takes damage.
Protection: A temporary buff that provides additional max health at the start of each turn. Lost when the unit takes damage.
Permanent Imbue: A permanent buff that increases attack. Lost when the unit takes damage.
Permanent Protection: A permanent buff that increases max health. Lost when the unit takes damage.
Bind: Activates a Unit's current Imbue and Protection values.
Combo System
Certain cards gain additional abilities when played after specific card types:
- Combo with [Subtype]: If a card of the specified subtype was played as the previous card, this card gains additional effects
- Combo with [Card Name]: If the specific named card was played as the previous card, this card gains additional effects
Subtypes

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.

- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
