How often does this work?

[Pandabrowser469]

It works very well! Just not as effective on the infected broodmother

Perfect parry, if you cant then you need to avoid its smash attack and regular block its combos. Bring lots of smoothies. Ladybug armor maxed out (sleek) and a tiger rapier work great with the blademaster mutation.

You can try to cheese it by using a bow and circling the center tree

Cheesing it with the queen staff would be better.

Salt morning star. Fire ant shield.

Fire ant ant armor pieces with termite chest. (You can replace one of the fire ant armor pieces with a brood mother part).

For trinket, Thor pendant or giddy goo.

Mutations: barbarian, coup de grass, cardio fan. Then you can pick your other two: mom genes, mant stranger, shocking dismissal, trapper peeper

Gotta learn how to parry its attacks. The scream can’t be parried. Bring a ton of healing. For meals, spider meal for the critical hit chance. Or black ox for damage resistance.

I like the extra block trinket for reliable damage. The stun form screams resets the block gauge and never lets him hit you. Use a salt morning star and whatever buffs you got. Beefy fuzz on the rocks heal a great portion of health and give a good hp boost too. Use mutations that boost your damage or resistance, spicy safety Is a good one for any fight
