Primal Aspids? what?

[JustALonelyDude]

I don't understand why everybody hates these guys. I know they're pretty annoying in the Colosseum of Fools, but everyone's like "NO I HATE THOSE GUYS!" and I don't know why. Their attacks are not even close to impossible to dodge and I think they are pretty cool. There are many enemies that are much worse than P. Aspids. Is it some kind of joke?

[Boksha]

Nah. People are just used to being able to easily get out of the way of an attack by changing positions, and Primal Aspids force you to actually think about where to be by spraying additional attacks to the sides. It's the same reason people hate Crystal Hunters so much; they're not hard if you're paying attention, but if you're playing on auto-pilot, they'll hit you.

The answer to your question @bendlg112806 is: Pantheon of Hollownest The Collector with charm binding except of that, nothing is wrong with those triple shooting dudes. But maybe I don't understand other players and @Boksha is right.

[Boksha]

Pretty sure Primal Aspids were meme material long before Godmaster came out.

[Rubedo]

Ok then.

Yeah, definitely. He's the reason I stopped even trying to do PoH with all bindings. At least with the latest patch, the Primal Aspids don't shoot immediately after appearing.

Primal aspids are ♥♥♥♥

I guese now I became good at the Collector, I did once a P5 all bindings run and I took only 2 lifeblood damage from him.

I actually struggled more with zote and markoth all bindings once I learned a solid strategy for the collector. Also learning the timing of when aspids will shoot so I can shade dash right before that helped a lot as well.

On Markoth you just have to use nail arts, they make everything much easier.

That's an interesting approach. Are you not playing on current patch, where they don't spit immediately straight out of the jars?

If you mean the dash is for after they appear, then can I ask where you're aiming for (relative to the P. Aspid) when you dash? (Are you trying to stop below or behind it, or do you mean ?)

Not as easy as spells but they're definitely my saviour when I don't have soul. That said, can I ask if you use keyboard or contoller? I'm guessing keyboard. (I like default on controller, but I'm thinking I might double bind nail swing to an extra button so I can do nail arts more easily, assuming it lets me.)

[firewolf]

They just annoying, I only died once to them

I play on the latest patch and haven't encountered the aspid issue. I wait around 1.5-2 seconds after an aspid spawns and dash right under or through it. I try to end up on the left or right of the aspid depending on where I dashed from. Overal doesn't matter as long as you dash through the projectiles succesfully, primal aspids have a pretty long pause after they fire.

Sometimes the collector can be in the way though so it's not completely fool proof.

I also try to hit it once if I have the time before I dash so that when I'm behind it, it takes only one more hit to kill it.

[Rubedo]

@kanna I use keyboard. And I think using nailarts on some ghost bosses, is much more effective then spells.
-Nailarts(use only great slash and dash slash): Markoth, Elder Hu, No Eyes.
-Spells: Galien(abyssal shriek), Marmu(descending dark?(not sure)),
Xero(abyssal shriek(a little difficult),shade soul).
-Gorb: DON'T use cyclone slash and descending dark, all other things are OK

these guys can make things even worse when they arise as a group, what's more, they are one of the most annoying kinds of units which likes to fly back and forth, I do hate them anyway.
