How can I defeat Metal Runners?
Metal (and Gold) Runners show up quite frequently in the Metal Zone, but their tendency to move away as soon as a unit gets close to them makes them feel like a certain Kung Fu-knowing protagonist. How can I beat these little nuisances?
Best Answer
I have noticed that they move away when your unit actually touches them. When I move very carefully (and slowly) they tend to not move away. Essentially, don't bump them at all and they stay still.

Metal Runners and Gold Runners
Metal Runners and Gold Runners are worth more experience than the regular enemies, but will move if you move characters close to them. They are sensitive to speed and vulnerable to sleep/paralysis/confusion/petrification (different for each zone). Gold Runners are more sensitive to speed than Metal Runners. There are two ways of dealing with runners.
- Bring character(s) with a sleep/paralysis/confusion/petrification skill. The Mech Orbling is a rank C monster that you can recruit from Tavern early on and has a area 2 sleeping gas skill. See our skill page for characters with these skills.
- Move slowly around runners. Since runners are sensitive to speed, there's a chance they will not move.
Attempting to surround runners is possible but difficult.
