@deVoid Honestly the melee attack wasn't the problem. It was... annoying, and I didn't know about the dash through trick because when I tried it I kept getting hit by the whole body. I guess my positioning just wasn't good and I developed the muscle memory to just dash away before I figured it out.

The real issue was Sea Spider's RNG. The tracking laser sometimes can cancel after 1 shot into a sweep, do two (as intended), or do a sneaky third. Then you get combo'd by the missiles. I don't know if it's my bad luck or my version but I swear on every pantheon that has ever existed that that bastard was skipping and repeating parts of his AI script lol

Also idk what was wrong with my build but I was doing almost no damage to him the first time. Swapped to the medium build and it was over so fast. :reimu_sigh:
