Okay, I've looked for a while now and I can't find exactly what "victory dancing" is. I know it's basically doing something over and over in a safe place to increase skills, but I'm not completely sure how skills are increased.

It refers to any kind of repetitive activity that improves your chance of winning. One example is casting magic dart at a wall to improve spellcasting/conjurations. Another is lugging weapons to the Ecumenical Temple to sacrifice to Elyvilon for piety.

Does it work with all skills? Can you increase your weapon skills by attacking the air? How do you increase things like stealth and armor?

You have to kill stuff to increase fighting and weapon skills. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Stealth raises occasionally when you're wearing light armour and have experience in your pool. Same for armour(except for heavy armour, not light), and armour also raises when a monster hits you while you're wearing heavy armour. Both rise slowly, but you don't need high levels in those two skill anyway. After 15 Armour, returns diminish quickly and I got good benefit from just 9 Stealth.

Luckily, you don't have to do much "victory dancing" to win in Crawl--you can succeed by just playing naturally.
