The only thing that matters regarding Chaos Spawn is that it’ll grab every 10s, and simply dodge to the right when it does the grab
well, you have to take care to have space for dodging to the right, which isn’t always simple.
A prime example, using a confident strike club and only dodging its grabs lol
or alternatively, you could use another confident strike weapon and just let their own knockback keep you at a safe distance
I’m going to be hunting a lot of DHs now, thanks.
You just need to hit DH in the face with either slap or the shovel punch (knife punch is too wimpy). I’m always glad when someone triggers one by mistake and I happen to have Mk3 shovel on (which is a good bet).
Chaos spawn you can lock on the spot similarly to plague ogryn. It does the multi attack combo only when players are farther away. After dodging a slam move closer so it does another one, and repeat. It’s also a lot easier to be in position to dodge the grab this way.
Also I know nobody uses the shield because why would you with the state of arbites maul but the chaos spawn can be tanked hard by a shield. Their unblockable slam is one of the few normally unblockable attacks you can tank for days, it does like 10% stamina instead of the block break of trying to use it on overheads without huge stamina or BCR investment.
