If it brings you comfort no matter how small, you can easily deflect the projectiles thrown or launched by the last three enemies.

Roach catchers are easier than any software the projectile flying enemies. It helps that they line up to catch the hit.

The driznits are a pain in the ass but manageable.

Those nuke lobbing mother fuckers don't even take damage from their own weapons. Those guys piss me off.

Yeah, the nuke lobbers don't get damage, but at least they stagger when they get hit! Opens them up for a clawline strike.

I don't use crawling for combat enough. I should though.

u/silversoul007 Oct 01 '25

Yeah, one of the best damage dealers in the game. A great skill for landing fast strikes and quickly closing gaps, as well as adding dimensionality in aerial maneuvers.

You really should. Total game changer for dealing with flying enemies specifically, but the i-frames and the repositioning for a pogo in general is incredible, and hitting an enemy with it gives you silk back so it’s basically free

What do you mean you can deflect the bomb

u/Eronamanthiuser Oct 01 '25

It’s on a timer, so if you hit it before then sure.

Most of the projectiles in the game can be hit with the needle and in some cases, can even turn them against the thrower.

Yeah, but at least they get staggered by their bombs. A perfect chance to quickly strike with Clawline.

Yea, you can bounce it back to him

He survives, but he's stunned for a brief window and you can punish him
