<p>Ivelieu: copyedit</p> <hr /> <div>Popcorn is a colloquial term for XP-valuable '''monsters of a low level''' that are '''easily killed'''. <br /> <br /> Popcorn is usually the result of '''careful play''' that takes advantage of the '''bonus experience''' gained from killing high-level monsters exclusively. The surplus lower-level monsters can usually be killed in a single strike, incurring no loss of health. With a large popcorn reserve, players can harvest enough popcorn to level up once or even twice in quick succession. This is a common strategy for fighting bosses or high level enemies, often called a 'mid-level ding', where a player depletes their resources before killing enough popcorn to gain a level and receive full health and mana. <br /> <br /> Popcorn can also synergize with many gods who grant large amounts of piety for killing enemies. Popcorn can be a reserve of piety as well as XP and even health for characters with life steal<br /> <br /> Popcorn munching is an example of [[multiple monsters fighting]]<br /> <br /> ==Popcorn types==<br /> There are various types of popcorn:<br /> *'''Popcorn:''' A low level monster that can be harvested with little to no loss of resources<br /> *'''Salted/Seasoned''' (or even &quot;buttered&quot;): Slowing enemies is an excellent way to make out extra XP from popcorn enemies. The use of [[WONAFYT]] and [[WEYTWUT]] can be useful, as can certain items and boons. <br /> *'''Chewy:''' A popcorn monster that requires more than one strike to finish. Meatmen, Goo Blobs, and Dragons are frequently chewy<br /> *'''Spicy:''' A popcorn monster with first strike. Unless it has been slowed, it will injure you.<br /> *'''Sour:''' A popcorn monster with an irritating debuff, like Curse. Monsters with Weakening or Corrosion can be sour if they are also chewy or spicy.<br /> *'''Jawbreaker :''' A popcorn monster with deathgaze, such as a gorgon. Be extra careful when dealing with that type of popcorn : you could easily get killed.<br /> *'''Slippery:''' A chewy popcorn monster with blink, such as a high level shade. Unless is has been 'salted', it might just slip away... <br /> <br /> <br /> *'''Popcorn bowl :''' Using [[WONAFYT]] during early exploration create what is known as a 'popcorn bowl': a central reserve of slowed monsters that are always accessible and easily harvested. This is one of the primary uses for [[WONAFYT]] and can be a very powerful resource during the late game.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Strategy]]</div>
