Combat Guide: Difference between revisions

Following completion of {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}}, you now have access to {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}}, the penultimate slayer area. These 3 mobs drop fragments for the T90 weapons, the most powerful weapons in the game. These are extremely long grinds, and require quite a bit of preparation. Each weapon requires 100 fragments, and the fragments have a 2% drop rate. That's 5,000 kills on average.

We recommend acquiring them in the following order, as the high evasion on {{Icon|Rokken|type=monster}} makes it extremely hard to complete without {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}}:

Additionally, you should also acquire the pet {{PetIcon|Otto}} whilst doing this grind.

Basically, a {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} is heavily suggested for {{MonsterIcon|Rokken}}.

Between those two, the required time is roughly equal, but the first one requires more runes.

This whole guide assumes you either use [https://gitlab.com/aldousWatts/SEMI SEMI] to pick up items, or are active enough to pick up all pieces.

Many people combine the grinding of these weapons with the grind for the master slayer gear. An added benefit is the increased damage given by the slayer cape on task.

{{MonsterIcon|Umbora}} can be killed either with Ancient Magicks or with Normal Magic if you have an {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}}.

With {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}}, use {{Icon|Fire Surge|type=spell}} (reference), {{Icon|Water Surge|type=spell}} (+2% kill time) or {{Icon|Water Blast|type=spell}} (+9% kill time, strongly reduced rune cost).

| {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}}

Use the appropriate Elemental Imbued Wand for Ancients, and the {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}} for Normal magic.

The {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}} can be replaced with a {{ItemIcon|Max Skillcape}} or {{ItemIcon|Skull Cape}}. The {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs|FEZ}} can be replaced with a {{ItemIcon|Warlock Amulet}}.

If you hit the DR goal, you can opt for a {{ItemIcon|Elder Crown}}, {{ItemIcon|Slayer Wizard Hat (Master)}}, {{ItemIcon|Slayer Wizard Robes (Master)}}...

While the other two weapons are pretty straightforward in terms of gear, the {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}} is not.

You need to use Melee for this grind, and as said before, it is highly suggested that you have a {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} before you start the {{MonsterIcon|Rokken}} hunt.

This method will require the highest DR, as you need to be able to tank the Shockwave special attack of {{MonsterIcon|Rokken}} while the player is stunned. At {{formatnum:1000}} HP, this will require 56 DR.

For this method to work safely without risk of death, the player's attack speed '''must''' be less than 2.24 seconds, as this means the player is quick enough to avoid being stunned when {{MonsterIcon|Rokken}} attacks with the Shockwave special attack. To achieve this, use the combination of Slayer Area Effect negation, {{ItemIcon|Elder Crown}} in the [[Combat Passive Slot]], and {{PetIcon|Otto}}, bringing the player's attack speed down to 2.2 seconds. The method also makes use of [[Ragnar God Armour]] and the {{ItemIcon|Fighter Amulet}} in order to increase DPS.

Check your setup with the [[Combat Simulator]] before engaging Rokken.

At {{formatnum:1000}} HP, which can be achieved with {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|97}} and +30 HP from {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}}, this method requires 48% [[Damage Reduction]].

To obtain the remaining 8% DR, {{Skill|Prayer}}, {{Skill|Agility}}, [[Pets]], and {{ItemIcon|Yak}} can be used. One suggestion is to have either {{PetIcon|Leonardo}} or {{PetIcon|Erran}} unlocked while using {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}}, [[Agility#Obstacles|Lake Swim]] (obstacle 6), and the {{ItemIcon|Yak}} + {{ItemIcon|Minotaur}} [[Summoning#Synergies|Synergy]]. Another possibility is to use up to 4 [[Terran God Armour]] pieces in place of any of these sources, although this will negatively impact DPS and result in longer kill times.

To be able to idle {{MonsterIcon|Ku-tul}} with {{Skill|Ranged}}, you'll need 48 DR assuming you have 1000 HP.

Depending on your chosen route, you'll be killing {{MonsterIcon|Ku-tul}} with either a {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}}, {{ItemIcon|Ancient Crossbow}}/{{ItemIcon|Slayer's Crossbow}} or {{ItemIcon|Stormsnap}}. Use {{ItemIcon|Jadestone Bolts}}, {{ItemIcon|Emerald Bolts}} or {{ItemIcon|Ancient Arrows}} respectively.

As you can't use a shield whilst using a {{ItemIcon|Stormsnap}}, the DR has to be compensated with {{Skill|Agility}} buffs, DR potions or {{Skill|Prayer}}.

The {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs|FEZ}} can be replaced with a {{ItemIcon|Deadeye Amulet}}, the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}} with a {{ItemIcon|Max Skillcape}},{{ItemIcon|Cape of Ranged Preservation}} or {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}}/{{ItemIcon|Infernal Cape}} for the extra DR.

If you hit the DR goal, you can opt for a {{ItemIcon|Elder Crown}}, {{ItemIcon|Slayer Cowl (Master)}}, {{ItemIcon|Slayer Leather Body (Master)}}...
