Jackal

Useful Info

Jackals are one of the earliest pack hunters you are likely to encounter, spawning as early as Dungeon:1 and attempting to surround you and pick you apart. They are weak, such that any level 1 character can take them on individually, but should they surround a careless starting character on all sides they can be a serious menace.

Tips & Tricks

• On the first floor of the Dungeon, jackals are a very scary threat. As such, you should make sure to fight them one at a time, by luring them backwards as soon as you see one member of the pack, to avoid other members being alerted and you having to fight multiple at once.
• If you are forced to fight multiple at once, try to fight in one tile–wide corridors to reduce the rate at which you take damage.
• Since they are fast, there is no point trying to outrun them unless you are a Centaur or Spriggan, however, it can be advisable to move to fight in a corridor.
• Once you reach D:3, jackals will most likely no longer be a threat.
