In game

  • • If Echo Slam catches Broodmother with her spiders he can instakill her. • The spiders are usually free farm for him with Slugger.

Items

  • Essence Distiller
    • Since she has phased movement and can move around obstacles, this is a good item to give vision of her while hunting her.
  • Crimson Guard
    • This item gives a barrier that can totally nullify the damage of Broodmother and her spiders.
