Muffet's attacks are themed on spiders, baked goods, and her pet. The battle takes place mostly in Purple Mode. Muffet may be spared by waiting or consuming a spider item. She does not fight if an item was bought at the Spider Bake Sale in Hotland and then used during the battle.

## Attacks

A spider appears to the right between each turn, holding a sign that presents the density and type of attack that is imminent after the protagonist's turn.

### Soul Modes

Muffet changes the fight to Purple Mode on her first turn, which restricts the protagonist's SOUL to a few horizontal lines, or "strings," that one can move along or switch between to avoid attacks.

### Patterns

* Her most frequent attack is sending spiders along single strings. This does 6 damage per hit.
* She throws croissants along the lines that resemble boomerangs, returning the way they came after being thrown.
* She throws donuts diagonally that bounce off the edge of the screen. This does 6 damage per hit.

* She begins with one of her other attacks, then let her "pet" muffin-spider pull the strings down toward it while using a slower version of the spider attack at the same time. This attack happens three times in the battle as "breakfast," "lunch," and "dinner" special attacks. The spiders do 6 damage per hit, and the pet does 4 damage per hit.

## Strategy

* Muffet offers to spare the protagonist after 17 turns.
	+ Using a Spider Donut or Spider Cider from the Ruins during her battle brings up the spare option after a short monologue.
* If the protagonist purchases an item from the Spider Bake Sale in Hotland, Muffet refuses to fight and lets the protagonist pass. However, it is rather expensive (9999 G).
* Muffet can be killed with a single hit using a Spider Donut or Spider Cider in front of her and then attacking when she offers to spare the protagonist. This is called a "betrayal kill".

## Mechanics

* Bribing Muffet decreases the damage dealt by each hit by one. The amount paid increases every time used, however.
	+ Using Struggle 3 times permanently cuts the current cost to bribe her in half. This works only once, and the discount does not increase in proportion after a bribe.
