Violet Spider moves too much

I'm not sure how I'm meant to deal any real damage here? I can't get a single heavy attack off, in a combo or charged, because it *always* moves out of the way. I can't even get a combo finish on it for the same reason. I can only really hit it with strings of light attacks. Even my spirit summon and transformation can't do real damage because again, it moves at the last moment for all the really heavy attacks they can do. This just seems unfair.

Beat it only to learn that was fight number 1, so my question stands. Sure I beat it but it felt like sheer chance.

Immobilize.

Really, you should have enough skill points in chapter 4 to invest 4 to 6 points into this spells, which is a game changer. Immobilize is extremely useful tool against exactly this type of enemies, highly mobile and hard to hit. Build your focus points with light attack and use your Immobilize to get your charged attack off. If you put few points into the spell, you can even cast it mid-light combo, finish the combo and fire up the heavy attack.

The cooldown is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ years though.

If you invest in the spell, the cooldown will be lower. You have gear to help with that as well, you can always use armor sets that help reduce spell cooldowns and curios. Lastly, you can use consumables too.

Still, if you already have 4 focus points, I always saved my Immobilize when I either already got 4 focus points in or when I was very close so I get to finish my focus and fire off the heavy attack.

Fair enough. I didn't realise there were upgrades to reduce to cooldown. I think I did see some passive effects on a few items that lower the cooldown but I didn't think it would make a lot of difference.

If you hit it enough it'll stop.
