===Killing Techniques===
Witches are not very troubling to mage characters, and they are a special favorite of Rogues. Since the witches stand perfectly still, they are easy targets for any projectile, and non fireproof Witches are sitting ducks for Fireballs. Chain Lightning can be more difficulty difficult to use, if there are multiple witches in sight, splitting up the bolts. It's best to walk back around a corner then, to lure the witches into range, all in a single file line. Chain will devastate them then. For Sorcerers with a reasonnable level in Magic and Charged Bolt, lightning-sensitive Succubi are not much of a challenge, Just keep moving to avoid the spells, while the bolts do the dirty work...
Melee characters have much more of a challenge, since unlike other fleeing ranged attackers, witches do not hesitate or stop to shoot while being pursued, letting you get close enough for a quick hit. They will walk forever, leading your character across an entire level until a wall blocks their path. Killing them without a ranged attack requires guile, good timing, Stone Curse, or skillful use of the [[D1_Warrior#Telekilling|Telekill]].
