 *For low HP species at XL 1, dart slugs can be big threats; they have a ranged attack that can two-shot frailer combos. If you find a [[sleep]]ing slug, try to avoid waking it up.
-*Dart slugs get a chance to fire every ~1.4 turns. If you blindly charge in, you can take a few max roll Slug Darts and promptly die. But, like any monster with ranged attacks, dart slugs cannot fire when its outside your [[line of sight]].

 **For melee characters, you can duck around a corner, and wait for them to come. That way, you won't get shot during the approach.
 **Dart slugs are slow. If you have an attack with full-screen range ([[Magic Dart]], [[Ranged Weapons]]...), and sufficiently clear space, you can [[kite]] them. Keep the slug at the edge of your line of sight at all times - if the slug deals too much damage, retreat, which forces it outside LOS.

 **Slugs can't open [[door]]s, so walking back and shutting a door is a valid escape option.
