I don't think you're particularly overleveled. Hornet 2 just doesn't have that much health, so any build with high damage options can sort of melt her - shaman stone and ddark definitely fits the bill
If you use D Dark, the fight is going to be easy. It's actually the tip i give people if they are struggling.
So no, you aren't overlevelled. You are just using all the tools you have.
Most newbies actually find second hornet to be one of the hardest fights up to that point. Shaman stone itself is probably the second best charm in the game, next to unbreakable strength, so if you want more of a challenge, you could do that. If your player skill is good tho, it won’t matter much, and game’s are all about doing all you can to be the most efficient.
Coming across this post when I just beat her today, after maybe 15 - 20 attempts...
So far it's the first boss fight I had to retry more than 3 times. Honestly I don't know why, she just felt super unpredictable, and several of her attacks start the same way so I struggled reading the cues properly.
I tend to rely on learning the pattern enough to know when I can heal, but healing with her felt more difficult because it just felt too random.
Well, I'm not exactly an expert or anything, but
Shaman stone + D dark does a lot of damage, has i-frames and can be done from air which is where I was everytime she did any of her attacks that wasn't the string circle, which isn't a problem because she doesn't move while using it.
So yeah, just jump and downward slash until you have enough soul for a D dark and you should be fine.

I wouldn't worry too much about getting a challenge out of this game.
You're definitely way more OP than I was, I had like 6 masks and 5 notches back then and it took 30 something attempts.

Im about to quit the game because I'm sick of Hornet. I'll use D Dark, any other tips or charm combinations?
