It is weaker then a [[quality|normal quality]] [[steel]] [[longsword]] against unarmored enemies, and falls even further away against [[armor]]ed foes due to its worse armor penetration. As a dedicated melee weapon it is outclassed by all other melee implants unlocked by the compact weaponry and poison synthesis [[techprint]], and is massively outclassed by most dedicated melee weapons. It should not be considered as a pawn's primary offensive option. | |

| − | + | This method requires both the skip and painblock [[psycast]]s. Other [[psycast]]s, such as invisibilty and neural heat dump, are helpful but not strictly necessary. Make sure your venom fang pawns '''do not have melee weapons''', as otherwise they they will select that more powerful weapon over the fangs. | |

If your psycaster doesn't have enough [[psycast | + | You will need two groups of pawns, a psycaster and venom fang toothed pawn(s). While you can have your psycaster also be the one to have the venom fangs, this increases the neural heat cost greatly as more skip [[psycast]]s will have to be cast. Your psycaster should be well ahead of your colonists, able to cast their skip ability on the incoming [[raider]] beyond the range of your colonists guns to ensure they don't get hit due to friendly fire. Your venom fang pawns should be in a sectioned off area either behind a wall or within a [[defense structures|bunker]] with a [[door]] held open, though if you have a high number of venom fang pawns such as 4 or 5, you can down [[raiders]] quickly and reliably enough such that separating them behind a wall/[[defense structures|bunker]]is not needed. |

Once this is done run, skip, or [[jump pack|jump]] your psycaster to safety. | ||
Have your venom fang pawns close the [[door]] that was held open to ensure the aren't disturbed by other [[raiders]], and the melee the raider you skipped to them.

This method of capturing enemies alive is not without its flaws however. Firstly, depending on which [[psycasts]] you have available, your psycaster may have to place themselves dangerously close to the enemy in order to be able to reach the desired target with the skip [[psycast]]'s modest range. This risk can be mitigated by the invisibility [[psycast]] allowing you to get closer without risk, or the mass chaos skip [[psycast]] to spread enemies out, though this can backfire by sending [[raiders]] where you don't want them to go. | This method of capturing enemies alive is not without its flaws however.
