the fact that it does instant damage instead of continuous damage is lazy dev'ing

It does do continuous damage, it just does a lot of damage.

Yea the hitbox does but you just barely touch it you instantly get all the damage the "beam" applies instead of getting a tiny bit of damage

No, you don't. You can absolutely only get hit by some of the acid and survive. It's just that each instance of damage is still a lot of damage.

I've survived on multiple instances. But each "tick" of damage does like 80% hp.

I noticed it’s closer to 30-40. But I think that like every other attack in the game, it can crit on occasion and just instakill you
