The Venomglider’stail spin attackis one of its most dangerous, rapidly spinning its tail around,spreading poison and dealing high damage. However, once you learn the timing of this attack, you candodge into the Kemonoto avoid it almost every time, creating a nice opening to counterattack.
The Venomglider’s signature move is its ability tospray poison like a hose from its tail, dealing damage while alsoforming a rock structure. Then, the Kemono will jump onto this structure, gaining a vantage point to eithershoot off poison rocksfrom orjump down into a wide tail spinor atail slam.
