*[[Iskenderun's Mystic Blast]] ignores resistances, so it's perfect for the quasit, and [[Magic Dart]] is an option if you don't have Mystic Blast yet (though their AC will make it a slow process). [[Earth Magic]] like [[Stone Arrow]] or [[Sandblast]] can also work. If you only have [[fire]] and [[cold]] damage at your disposal, use the biggest spells you've got; their resistances aren't insurmountable.

*While their Dexterity-draining attacks can be annoying, they are very rarely dangerous. You'll just be a little worse at [[EV|dodging]] and [[stealth]] for a while.

Useful Info

Quasits are fast and annoying tier-5 demons whose attacks drain your dexterity. They've got high evasion and a wide variety of resistances, making it difficult for low-level characters to defeat them without taking some stat damage. They are one of the few demons you can encounter naturally in the upper floors of the Dungeon.
