For those who lack sufficient damaging moves early on, you can still do this with torches as a thrown weapon. just equip them in your thrown slot, get close range, and then throw it at them. ideally this will be at melee range because the torch will continue to emit heat and the rifler should be sitting on it to set on fire. the fire will give them damage over time (which is significant early on) and they will waste turns patting it out. you can throw more at them if you like, but one or two is usually sufficient) | For those who lack sufficient damaging moves early on, you can still do this with torches as a thrown weapon. just equip them in your thrown slot, get close range, and then throw it at them. ideally this will be at melee range because the torch will continue to emit heat and the rifler should be sitting on it to set on fire. the fire will give them damage over time (which is significant early on) and they will waste turns patting it out. you can throw more at them if you like, but one or two is usually sufficient) | ||

I recommend reserving them for high AV creatures like eyeless crabs, or legendaries. The rifle also will carry you through golgotha, so you can also use them to blast at black, brown, green jels without them getting into melee range. | Once you have the rifle, you should ration ammo wisely until you reach Grit Gate.
