Did anyone else struggle with Nightweaver?

To avoid spoilers for people
Why was this boss fight so tough? Regardless of if it was alone or with 3 people. Alone it was easier to stay alive, but my damage output was so low, versus playing with people it was difficult for everyone to stay alive, and trying to revive someone usually ended up with whoever had aggro dying. It just felt incredibly difficult compared to every other boss fight so far.

Killed it multiple times on other people playthroughs' somewhat i enjoy helping other people lol

Her hitboxes are a mess.

We started a new run yesterday and got her as first boss. I think we wiped 2 times before we got her.
Being more than one helps in second phase imo, melee the ♥♥♥♥ out of her if she lands a grab.

This boss isn't tough, you are just using wrong weapon against it. I tried this boss low level, low skill very early on, died a lot. Then I switched to Enigma - sorted.

There are a lot of bosses in game that just need right tools for the job.

I was expecting her to be a pain in the ass before i fought it cause i was reading about it on the forums, and then when i fought it i got hit maybe twice across both phases. Fought her close to 20 times now and haven't died to her once, in multiplayer and single player.

the biggest problem is the grab in the second phase if you are alone because thats an insta kill. The homing ability of the ice is pretty hard if you dodge to soon and the charge with explosion right after is an instant kill on a new charakter so you first need to learn to dodge the big attacks before you can even think about doing decent damage.

Boss is cool as hell, framerate drops, input lag, and 2 OHKO's in the 2nd phase make it annoying.

My first attempts lasted like 3 hours because the game wouldn't stop crashing every time she did a slam in the first phase.

10/10 cool factor, 1/10 weird ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ factor.

Got the story as my first world and her second phase grab was not an instant kill even if it hurt a lot and healed her for more. She would probably be far more damaging if I had a higher Power level, which could easily turn that grab into an insta-kill.

I just killed her the second time. I did this solo. I was going for her alternate weapon. First phase is a joke but the fact that she has a one shot she mixes in with her normal combat is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

nightweaver took me somewhere between 7 and 12 attempts. It's a very good fight, and I wasn't at all expecting the second phase.
all fights revolve around a few things. mostly being : positioning, attack/dodge timers/windows, Adds.
nightweaver has some tricky dodge windows. the telegraph vs dodge window can be very tricky. They moved to having some attacks not be an instant or 0.5 second dodge start, but require you to wait, sometimes a full second, before you start the dodge, in order to make the window. There's a few other bosses like this. Sound ques for the attacks help however. I highly recommend on bosses that you're struggling with not only to watch the telegraphing, but also listen for sound ques. With every boss i started doing this with, quick dodge sound ques are different from wait to dodge sound ques. This can be particularly helpful in multiplayer, if you do not know which player is being targeted yet. Some bosses can be easier to defeat because of this, if you know you're the one that has to dodge.

I don't know , it was as easy as a boss fight gets , killed it first try alone , my power level was 10 and I was using gunslinger / handler classes.

I killed the boss without healing and got through the first phase without even being hit. (in around 8 attempts or so, 3 which bugged out) Like every boss in the game, it comes down to learning boss patterns.

When to dodge, when to run, how often to dodge, in what sequence to dodge. As well as when to get attacks in, in-between your dodges.

She has a couple of unforgiving attacks that makes it basically GG if you get hit as well as a one-shot attack that must be dodged if you're playing solo without minions or good dot damage.

She can bug out at the very end of phase one, causing her to use stronger attacks at the beginning of phase 2 rather than after hiding once.

Anyone who one-shot her first try with no prior knowledge of her attacks most like played on easiest difficulty. On Veteran difficulty her close up attacks can 2-3 shot you and she leaves very little room to use healing items.

(Oh didn't realize it was you Axi xD)

Yeah she was in my first world as well. I was level 7 fighting her with the starting Medic light machine gun +6. I could get through the first face without being touched but the second stage really got to me lmao
