Combat Strategy

Trap Master Strategies:

By the use of a Trap Armband or by consuming Mecharoid Family Monster Meat, Shiren will become a Trap Master and be able to use Traps against Monsters.

Traps that can pacify the Tainted Soldier:

• Sleeping Gas Trap - Will fall Asleep and not attack for 5-10 turns.
• Immobilization Trap - Will not be able to move from one square but can still attack Shiren if on an adjacent square.
• Spinning Trap - Will become Confused and will move randomly for 5-10 but may still attack Shiren.
• Slowness Trap - Will move at half speed permanently
• Dream Gas Trap - Will cause the Tainted Soldier to be scared and move away from Shiren for 5-10 turns. It also won't attack Shiren in this state.

Instant death Trap strategies:

Defeated Tainted Soldier will drop an item
