How to Use Pest Threads

Used to Slow Enemies

This incantation is very useful at dealing damage while slowing the movement of pursuing enemies. The projectiles are fast and capable of hitting an enemy even at very close range, it is most effective against a single target.

The casting speed of this spell is very fast and can easily be spammed. If you are looking to further increase the casting speed of this spell, pair it with the Radagon Icon talisman.

Allows you to Perform a Counterattack

Aggressive enemies in both PvP or PvE can be zoned out and slowed by this spell allowing you to perform a counterattack by switching to a different spell or weapon.

However, you are not able to cast this spell while moving or jumping so make sure that you are at a safe enough distance to avoid taking damage.

Very Effective On Large Bosses

This Incantation has the ability to shred the HP of large bosses such as Placidusax and even the Elden Beast.

Because of their large size, almost every thread is guaranteed to hit, with multiple instances of damage if they hit any limbs, wings, or the head. The reason for this is because these parts of a boss' hitbox are counted separately, so with proper positioning, the threads will pass through all of these limbs for maximum damage.
