-Hit and run is a common tactic that allows weaker players to fight stronger foes, as long as they are faster. The concept is to time your moving and hitting so that you always attack on the turn that your opponent doesn't get a move. If skillfully executed, even powerful foes such as [[mumak|mumakil]] or [[dragon|dragons]] can be killed by a weak player. This is also an excellent way to train weapons and get experience in the early game, particularly against [[black pudding]]s and [[mimic]]s.
