Should be the fastest strat for any category with silk soar and thread storm (probably only 100%ABAG). I try to stand on the small background rocks after the first larger rock to start the silk soar and cancel it early to adjust slightly for the correct horizontal position. You want to end up to the left of 4c to get leftward knockback.

7Fastest quick kill so far. Farming silk at the start is important as doing 4cs heal less with the freeze frames is really hard and you don't even lose time farming. For the right rock my visual cue is the left of the lava fall. For the left rock there isn't a good visual queue but you kinda want to be between the seam between the 2nd and third platform and the notch in the middle of the third platform.
Just putting this here as a collection of zoomed out POV's with input display on the bottom right for beginners , since a lot the previous ones are very spread out and unlabled in here
Clip 1) You should absolutely be doing the no heal version, its the fastest, and really isn't that hard once you get to the coyote time with a buffered jump (i use this setup personally https://discord.com/channels/772964112908156938/1365521515356885032/1417720113549021306)
Clip 2) If that's too difficult, wait for 4c to finish screaming and then do this heal version (you grab silk from the hidden room above the draft just before reaching 4c) significantly slower, but also much more lenient
Clip 3) A version of the heal skip that can go without having to wait for 4c to stop screaming, by abusing the cloak dash reset, difficult to time, and just slower than healless, but an option if you want it

Still not sure if it's good or not. It costs all the pre boss silk and 2 hp, in return you get a more lenient skip and also skip the scream or whatever it's called
Faster way of doing the fourth chorus skip healess, the double downslash dash combo is pretty consistent and puts you in the position to do the skip
If you dash at the right time towards the end of the platform and buffer the jump out of it, you can make Fourth Chorus skip much more lenient. If you time it right, the jump starts much further left, if you go frame by frame in the video you can see that Hornet hasn't even started moving upward by the time she's off screen. You can also see how high up I am when I reach the platform.
My visual cue is to dash when the front of hornet is aligned with the tip of the red triangle in the 2nd to last platform (the image is the frame before i dash).
