Analysis
Arachnets are a solid all-around Slug, capable of fighting both offensively and defensively as well as being useful outside of combat. They're very handy for the Slugslinger who likes to gather Slugs from the wild, their Grapnet and Webwall moves allowing access to otherwise hard-to-reach places. In addition, the Arachnet's sticky webs can be a good replacement for Slug Paper and nets, meaning less gear to carry and less gold spent on supplies.
Flashnet and Cocoono work as solid defensive moves, stopping an enemy Slug or Slinger from attacking at all. Webwall works to deflect attacks back on the opponent Slinger, making it a great low risk move. Similarly, Arachnorok deals damage while also serving as a defense, preventing an opponent from getting off another attack.
Threadstinger is the Arachnet's only purely offensive move, but this Slug's ability to combine offense and defense in one move serves to cover that potential weak spot in its move set.
