Webber is a underated character that gets shadowed by other other characters and aoe attacks but with the right setup it's possible to kill even most raid bosses (excluding twins and Klaus since those 2 are hard counters)

In this guide I'll explain on how to use him effectively through his use of tools, ability to control his army effectively, and to effectively use techniques that would make u a better webber

• webber whistle - the important tool to control your spiders, you may know its ability to stop spiders and call them our of their dens. but did u know it can do one other thing, it can stop spiders from eating food off the ground and go into a defensive stance, this stance is temporary but it makes the spiders passive until we break it off by attacking something else (this is only your loyal spiders any wild ones will not listen to that command)
  
  
• den decoration kit - pacifies spiders in a radius and stops growing (this stops them from attacking walls which ill explain later)
  
  
• healing glop - heals spiders and webber in a radius
  
  
• shoebox - untames loyal spiders and de aggro spiders that are aggro on to you
  
  
• Switcherdoodles - allows a spider When fed to switch to the corresponding spider type u fed them with
  
  
• Razor - used to shave your beard and downgrade a den by 1 tier
  
  
• Boomerang - just like the whistle it's a important item to initiate a attack from a distance by fake attacking u can start the attack with your spider army

• These information are used amongst webber that are skilled enough.
  Webber should start by upgrading tier 2 dens instead of tier 1 dens for the investment in silk gives u 6 once u destroy the tier 3 den making it better than upgrading from a tier 1 since it would take 4 away each time, you can do this part by having spiders kill the dens for u or have them fight the spiders in that den (or tame them).
  
  
• There's a technique thats used to get a nurse spiders easily and its by killing ur self and haunting a tier 3 den (it's a 10% chance but it's repeatable) u can do this near a touchstone and u can tame spiders to fight against the queen using the fake attack method which is u attacking but cancel mid animation before the attack is launched.
  
  
• This one is used pretty often and it's cheaper than making bundle wraps as the investment is insanely good compared to wasting a few fiber and paper for a bundle wrap which is making a similar method to the pig farm but instead u do this with a decorated den and a pig skin and when u Shoe ur tamed spiders they won't be hurting the walls since they are pacified so they walk to the pigskin just like we're pigs and regular pigs (pro tip, don't put the area near base and put it far from the area to prevent hound attacks, it should not be near any den that is considered a farming area for spider wars and such, it should also be in a safe area where they aren't gonna get attacked like sinkholes,the swamp, etc).
  
  
• This one is useful if u don't got a Wendy or any aoe attacking character (or wormwood) that can farm monster meat, silk, and glands which is called the spider war method which is taming one spider (and the other 2 nearby) and have them fight eachother which nearby spiders will awill start join in the fight and a war will break out.
  
  
• here's a useful tip instead of worrying so much about danglers u can try this tactic which is to wait until dusk and attack the dens which spawns 3 spider warriors then use Shoe box to de aggro (only do this at dusk and when it recently turned dusk since if u tried to at a later time u end up with nothing cuz it converts spiders which is why none would spawn if u used a whistle)

This list will indicate on what you should use as in your army

• spider 1/10 - ain't ever really useful for any army and should be used only in early development in assisting you in less death treating situations or to use when ur mm is spoiling (mm means monster meat) other than that pick them up and murder them like how u do with rabbits and such
  
  
• Warrior/dangler 8/10 - the useful spiders as they have 400 hp, jump to a target and act as a meatshield for spitters these should be used to tame for your army
  
  
• strider 4/10 - only used for ck or on a boat ride for a extended period of time since these guys walk on water
  
  
• nurse 10/10 - the most important spider to have as it heals for a great amount and having 9 would essentially make your army very strong and can live for a long time during a fight,they hral webber for 8 hp (the beefalo that you ride isn't affected by this tho)
  
  
• spitter 8/10 - these guys have the highest dps in the spider faction when spitting so u should use this to your advantage
  
  
• cave spider 6/10 - these guys aren't very good as warrior spiders but can tank a lot of damage when hiding so its useful if one is targeted but the bosses have aoe so this probes to be almost obsolete other than ones with single target damage (the reason for this rsnk and not in a lower rank cuz since the nurse spiders heal its basically gonna stay alive for a while)
  
  
• shattered 7/10 - these guys are similar to spitters with a aoe attack but they aren't spamable and the dps is slightly decreased along with the hp too being half of a Warrior spider
  
  
• spider queen 10/10 you think it's not possible? Yes it quite is thx to someone in the dst community this opened multiple options but this only works if u are alone or in a webber only world (that spider queen mask messes with the taming code of webber and will remove webber loyalty so it's advised to not messbwith that if there's a webber in your world)

The links below would further demonstrate and that one video that u should watch since he's the one that included spider queens though each boss are in his unique way, also there's a guide as well to how be a s tier webber but in a rushing format

i forgot to mention this but head gear like football helments are useful but the worth of using them depends on how much resources u are getting often theres a guy i saw thay beat dragon fly using only nurse spiders to heal him, as for the headgear it depends as i said the resources but also the importanceof certain spiders like spitters and shattered which those will have a increased longitvity while warriors and danglers can tank there will be a scale for this too in the future
