*A [[ring of sustain abilities]] will nullify their dexterity-draining attack. If your dexterity gets drained to levels you're not comfortable with, a [[potion of restore abilities]] will fix you right up.
+
*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.
*[[Deep dwarf|Deep dwarves]] should be careful around quasits, as they can't recover naturally from stat damage.

*[[Searing Ray]] and [[Iskenderun's Mystic Blast]] ignore resistances, so they're perfect for the quasit, and even [[Magic Dart]] is an option if you don't mind taking a while killing them. [[Earth Magic]] like [[Stone Arrow]] or [[Sandblast]] can also work. If you only have [[fire]] or [[cold]] damage at your disposal, use the biggest spells you've got; their resistances aren't insurmountable.
*[[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. [[Earth Magic]] like [[Stone Arrow]] or [[Sandblast]] (though you may wish to wield some [[stone]]s to help overcome their AC) will also work.

*Quasits have low [[magic resistance]], which makes them good targets for [[Hexes]] or wands of [[wand of paralysis|paralysis]] and [[wand of disintegration|disintegration]].

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.
