 * Health is an incredibly valuable resource; [[wait|resting]] takes up hundreds of turns normally. Try to avoid that as much as possible by exploring, potentially at floors you've skipped, at low health. [[Meteorae]] regenerate rapidly by exploring, and dominate as a result. The fast-regenerating [[Vine Stalker]] is helpful, but most other melee races can still do fine. [[Jiyva]], if you are lucky enough to find it early, greatly boosts regeneration.
-**For regenerating species, [[bread swinging]] - or swinging a non-weapon over and over - will cause you to waste more time (regenerating more) for the same amount of turns.

 **[[Cheibriados]] lets you explore to the same effect, with a noticeable stat boost and [[LOS]]-wide attack in Slouch. However, its impact matters less for a 3 rune game.
 *Careful movement is a must; autoexplore is very inefficient.
