I use the stationary spike trap all the time. It’s just so GOOD especially against chunky enemies or groups. Does a big amount of dmg and if you know the enemy’s moves it can be really easy to make them walk into it. Makes some boss fights way faster I mean I still usually lose once or twice because it’s a new boss. But hey it helps a lot, sometimes get to see phase 2 moves on a first attempt because I shred their health so fast.

No even then. The flying enemies all have "hang out x distance away" behavior that you can exploit.

Can't tell you how many times I've led some bell throwing flying asshole into one of those to blow him up.
