I had one moment where I felt clever in AVWW, and it was vs. a spiny boss that looked sort of like a brown drill that floated along the ground and shot out seeking missile spines at me constantly. This boss deflected most of my shots and I was not sure how I was going to beat it, until I remembered I had "Campfire", a spell I never thought I would use. The battle was won by me just running away from the boss dropping campfires behind me, eventually, and it almost seems like that spell was made specifically to help with bosses like that one, in retrospect.
