Attributes

Spider is a fast and deadly mob with high mobility and decent recovery. Spider is a very threatening mob in melee, thanks to its mobility. Spider's skills are especially deadly with it's Needler providing edge-guarding and armor-bypassing Poison abilities while Spin Web causes above average damage and has web trapping abilities. It's also one of the only 2 classes that has 2 Passives: Spider Leap, which allows you to jump in any direction you look, and Wall Climb, which lets you climb up walls, aiding its recovery but using up energy.

Spider is deadly in close combat, but not without its flaws. Spider has a very wide hitbox, making it suitable for combo attacks. It's recovery is vulnerable to edge-guarding and gimps, making it travel little to no distance overall, when hit by a projectile or AoE Skill. Spider is also somewhat ineffective against ranged mobs, like Slime, despite having it's effective camping.

Overall, Spider is a deadly mob with above average offense, decent defense, and miraculous speed. It's notorious for its mobility and above average stats for melee, along with Needler, spammable skill, and its 2 passives that help the Spider to recover back on-stage. Spider is a deadly threat to melee play styles, but its wide hitbox makes the Spider vulnerable to combos and it's recovery is overall vulnerable to edge-guarding.
