When a slime is hit, it will be knocked back a short distance, out of range of melee [[weapons]]. The best strategy to kill slimes is to quickly reach them to striking distance to prevent their charge attack, and corner them against a wall or, ideally, in a corner (of walls, rocks, or both). Both the charged and regular attacks may be avoided by using a defensive move (such as the block of the regular sword). Timing a block with a sword well can allow the player to get a decent amount of damage in. Otherwise, offense is the best defense. | When a slime is hit, it will be knocked back a short distance, out of range of melee [[weapons]].
