Giant Crab Weakness

This enemy is weak against strike damage and resistant to slash damage, thrust damage, and the perfect spot to test this enemy is at the crucifixion woods bonfire ( giant crab is literally next to bonfire).**

Something else I noticed is that jumping on them breaks their poise immediately.

You can also R1 at them for a immediate "riposte" when they raise both claws to attack you
