Mechanics

• The Weaver's 50% of Physical Damage Converted to Chaos Damage (Hidden)MonsterConvertToChaos1
  Intrinsic
  50% of Physical Damage Converted to Chaos Damage (Hidden) modifier causes her to deal chaos damage with all of her attacks.

• At melee range, the Weaver will use a SpiderBossEtherealKnives AoE attack.

• The Weaver can summon magic Noxious Tarantula spiders to descend to the arena, who use MonsterViperStrike, which can inflict poison. When killed, smaller Hatchling spiders can emerge from the magic spiders.

• The Weaver uses a projectile web attack when the player is not in melee range, which can apply the Covered in Webs debuff, reducing movement speed.

• After taking enough damage, The Weaver leaves the arena with her web, returning after a duration.

Strategy

• The Weaver's most dangerous attack is her projectile web attack, which can shotgun, especially if additional projectile modifiers are present, like in a Gauntlet. However, the Weaver will only use this attack if the player is not in melee range, so it may be advisable to stay close to her to prevent her from using this attack, as the Etheral Knives skill is relatively less dangerous.

• AoE skill and movement skills are recommended to clear and avoid the smaller spiders, as getting swarmed by them may be very dangerous.
