Web Throw Webbed up, electrified, or Venom Stunned enemies can be thrown by holding [△]

Using Spider Shock together with Web Throw lets you hurl enemies at other foes as if they were objects. This is very effective when surrounded by enemies as it lets  you hit multiple targets using a ranged attack alongside doing a single-target attack.

Launcher Move + Leap Off Bounce

Skill Name Effects
Spider Whiplash Press L1 + [x] to lift enemies up in the air. Works on Brute enemies.
Venom Jump Press L1 + [x] to lift enemies up in the air and apply Venom stun to them.
Leap Off Bounce Hold [x] near an enemy in the air to Leap Off the enemy and bounce them off the ground.
