Tips & Tricks
- While radroaches are fairly bulky, softening it up with any sort of ranged attack is always preferable. They are weak to silver, and curare can let you kite them for a bit.
- Radroaches are generally unwilling to Irradiate its own allies. It'll blast through trivial enemies like regular worms, but even a single redback adjacent to the radroach will heavily discourage the spell from being used.
- A potion of cancellation will remove contamination.
