Spider TV — Crowd Control Unit Guide

Crowd Control for Tight Leaks

Spider TV applies a slow debuff that buys time for your carries to fire their next ability window. On nightmare Story stages where leaks compound into run-ending cascades, the slow effect is the difference between a clear and a reset. Pair Spider TV with Corrupted Cameraman DoT for maximum crowd control uptime.

Spider TV ranks B-tier in pure DPS but A-tier as a support slot once you factor the slow value into leak prevention.

Placement and Stack Interactions

Place Spider TV at the second lane's chokepoint—not the primary boss lane where carries need raw damage uptime. Slow radius overlap with Secret Agent creates a layered control zone that handles most add wave pressure; consult placement strategy for tile geometry.

Avoid stacking Spider TV with another slow source on the same tile—the strongest slow wins and the second copy wastes placement cost.

Trait Priority

Roll Speed II first for fast tick rates; Strength II second for budget players. Avoid damage-only traits—Spider TV's value scales with uptime, not burst. See traits guide for roll math.

Common mistake: rolling Master on Spider TV when the slot should fund Master on a carry. Spider TV works fine at base rarity if you already have a Mythic splash carry.

Mode-Specific Use

Story: essential on Field of Toilet War nightmare, optional on Toilet Invasion. Raid: helpful on early scaling, falls off late when burst matters more than slow. Challenge: required on stun-free weeks that restrict Secret Agent slots.
