Triage

Overview
Triage is the term coined by the makers of this wiki to describe the process of assigning priorities on many levels from how to complete entire dungeon floors down to what to do in specific rooms or even what to actions to take within the first few seconds of starting to maximize efficiency.

Most commonly it is used to assign priorities to monsters when clearing a room. For example, a high levelled Mysterious Shade is generally the biggest threat and should always be dealt with first. In other cases, a Reborn Mage is also a problem because the warriors it spawns do not die off quickly and can interfere with Guardian Doors. Between a high levelled Shade and a Reborn Mage, the Shade should be killed first because its multiple attack styles cannot be fully blocked and it is also generally an easier target than the Reborn Mage which has relatively high melee defence and would take longer to kill. This kind of threat assessment is the most basic form of triage.

Other more advanced cases include choosing between Forgotten Mages and Rangers. Both can cause large amounts of damage quickly. While one way to approach the situation would be to pray against the Mage due to its curse and bind spells and kill the Ranger while tanking at the expense of some food, it may actually be better to remove all armor, pray against the Ranger, and kill the Mage before re-equipping the armor and tanking the Ranger, since more prayer can be conserved this way at the expense of more food. These kinds of determinations mostly come from personal experience and can change based on your own levels and equipment.
