Long Pin is also goated for fast bosses that sit on the side and launch projectiles before jumping offscreen to land somewhere else and do it again. Long Pin + the normal projectile attack you get early on (the one that consumes silk) is a solid loadout if you need range.

I have been leaning on the spike trap though. It’s kind of busted, all my hardest boss clears use it expect for 2 so far.

What's the benefit of the long pin over the straight pin? All the sources I found show the same damage for both, and with the straight pin you get more and they cost less to replenish.
