 *Being surrounded is extremely dangerous. When surrounded, your normal escape paths are cut off. Since nagas [[constrict]], even a [[scroll of blinking]] can fail to get you out. And, even for the toughest [[Axes]] users, taking 8 attacks per turn isn't fun.
-**Try to limit the number of spaces around you. If you're standing in a hallway or corner, you might take only 2-3 attacks per turn rather than 8. Also, being surrounded by [[allies]] ([[summon]]s, [[Kiku]]'s Unearth Wretches...) means you can't be surrounded by enemies.
+**Try to limit the number of free spaces around you. If you're standing in a hallway or corner, you might take only 2-3 attacks per turn rather than 8. Also, being surrounded by [[allies]] ([[summon]]s, [[Kiku]]'s Unearth Wretches...) means you can't be surrounded by enemies.
 **In Desolation, being encircled by creatures means high damage from [[Resonance Strike]].
 *Blink Allies Encircling can bring any monster in the ''caster'''s [[line of sight]] adjacent to you (not the player's LOS). This means that a guardian serpent can bring in monsters you didn't know about.

 ==Useful Info==
-'''Guardian serpents''' are dangerous support units which aid their [[list of nagas|naga and salamander]] allies. Although capable of dealing moderate [[poison]] damage on their own, their real danger lies in their ability to blink multiple nearby enemies into the spaces adjacent to you, immediately surrounding you. They are fairly common in the lower portions of the [[Snake Pit]], occasionally show up in the [[Desolation of Salt]], and make rare appearances in [[the Vaults]] and [[the Depths]].

-*Standing in narrow hallways or up against corners will limit the number of spaces around you, limiting the number of foes a guardian serpent can surround you with at once. Ideally, however, you can kill the serpent before it has a chance to do so. Of course, [[Axes|axe-specialists]] may welcome the opportunity to buff themselves and then cleave through 7 enemies at a time.
