Mace and Penetrator are pretty good. Also use halberds to raid around the back because spiders can't go over water. (And you didn't choose hover on a spider map, did you?)
Switch air for Phoenix (against their big recluse ball) and Vulture to spot for your Penes. Once the Recluse spam becomes unbearable, switch to Firewalker, Slasher or Dante. They all outrange them.
Place a few lotus here and there because Flea. I don't see how you can lose this now.

As a follow up question. Are daggers particularly good against anything?

when they reach a certain number, they become the best raiders in the game

Used to be great when used like
Anir
says, but have been nerfed quite a bit since. In balls they can still deal a good amount of alpha damage and they still hardcounter Glaives. Use them as long as the speed advantage is helpful. I.e. for intercepting raiders and raiding of naked/lightly defended expansion. Generally don't take on anything that has more than 2x your burst damage as HP.

u just have to make 2 stingers and the spider player wont be able to break that untill he switches factory or makes a crabe and puts it on a spire in front of your porc,by then u should have 2 penetrators to snipe that crabe.
