If the Titan Dweevil is sprayed with an [[ultra-bitter spray]] when it's using a weapon, the weapon will keep firing while the Dweevil is frozen. This increases the length of time the weapon's effect lasts, and the boss is much harder to damage while encased in stone, so petrifying it is not recommended until the very end, in an attempt to obtain multiple [[spray]]s.

Each weapon can be counterattacked, or make another weapon vulnerable. Counterattacking the Titan Dweevil can deal massive damage. The Flare Cannon can be attacked from behind while in use, the Comedy Bomb while it's being lifted, and the Monster Pump and Shock Therapist can be attacked while in use. Pikmin are still vulnerable to hazards while latched on, making it wise to only attack in use weapons with the Pikmin immune to it. The Monster Pump can hit Pikmin latched onto it as well, though this only happens when close by, so throwing on some spicy reds and running away can serve as a good, if not risky, strategy. The remaining two weapons can't hit latched Pikmin, but are otherwise dangerous. Attacking the Shock Therapist with a full group of Pikmin is only a good idea while the weapon is not malfunctioning.

Attacking the Shock Therapist with a full group of Pikmin should only be considered while the weapon is not malfunctioning.


As for weapons that are exposed by other attacks, the Comedy Bomb is very vulnerable during the Shock Therapist's attack. The Shock Therapist is vulnerable during the Monster Pump attack. No weapon is noticeably vulnerable during the other two attacks, due to them being much more deadly when close to the Titan Dweevil.
When the Monster Pump or Shock Therapist are in use the other weapons are vulnerable as well. When the Flare Cannon is used, the vulnerable weapon will depend on where the player was facing the Dweevil, as it always attacks in a radius where the player was when the attack started. The Comedy Bomb is problematic, due to it filling the entire sink the battle is fought it, counterattacking is not as effective.
