| +8% Damage.

Maximize combat-focused {{Skill|Astrology}} bonuses. However, the difference is relatively small, so don't focus on getting optimal bonuses.

**{{Icon|Fire Surge|type=spell}} is the recommended spell. {{Icon|Anguish III|type=curse}} and {{Icon|Surge II|type=aurora}} are not required but do provide better DPS; however, they will have to be selected every time you swap to your {{Skill|Magic}} set.

*Wear the Slayer Negation sets outlined above, this is mandatory, as the area effect is extremely detrimental to your ability to kill anything. Swap each set for [[Combat Triangle]] advantage.

*Wear the Dark Waters 40% negation sets outlined above, if you choose the "Slayer Area Effects are 5% Stronger" Modifier, wear a {{ItemIcon|Hunter's Ring}} in the Passive Slot. Swap each set for combat triangle advantage.

*No additional Area Negation is required anymore, {{ItemIcon|Maximum Skillcape}} is enough to mostly cover the accuracy loss and the enemies aren't difficult enough to warrant more. Swap each set for combat triangle advantage, or don't, these enemies aren't difficult.

# Same as above, no area negation is required. Swap each set for combat triangle advantage.

* Suffocate: Eat once after each of your own attack turns finishes to proc a bit of lifesteal/damage, also eat at around 60% HP or earlier. You want to avoid the sleep completely while still doing as much damage as possible, if you do get slept, it may be safer to simply run from combat than to try to drop the effect.

* Fragile Mind: If you are debuffed by Fragile Mind, eat before the attack lands if your HP is low.

* Unknown Threat: Typically not dangerous.

* Mist Walk: Does no damage, however, if Bane tries to use it twice in a row he will use a Normal Attack instead, the damage value of which changes based on the modifiers you have selected. Typically not dangerous, but if the damage is more than your HP at any time, eat to survive.

* Overwhelming Power: Exclusive to the final Bane. If you are debuffed by Fragile Mind, or if this attack can deal more than your auto-eat threshold based on your affliction, hold the food button to keep yourself healed. Typically not dangerous at low levels of Affliction.

Probably the hardest style as the modifiers stack up. Just let the {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} do the work as you pay attention to its attacks. In some of the modifier variations, the final Bane will be extremely difficult, and will require more effort overall than any other Bane.

Generally the easiest style as you can use {{Icon|Incinerate|type=spell}} for the duration of the fight for guaranteed burn and damage. You may wish to switch to any normal spell and start relying on {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}} once Bane reaches less than half HP, as the burn damage will drop off as it is based on the enemies HP%. Alternatively, normal {{Skill|Magic}} and {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}} can be used for the entire fight too. Using {{Icon|Incinerate|type=spell}} for the entire fight allows you to use {{Icon|Damage Reduction Potion|Damage Reduction Potions}} instead of {{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck}} as your hits are already guaranteed at 20k+ Accuracy Rating. Due to the extremely high chance for {{Icon|Incinerate|type=spell}} to proc the Burn from {{ItemIcon|Dragon}} tablets, the {{ItemIcon|Dragon}} and {{ItemIcon|Unicorn}} synergy ("You now heal for all BURNING damage you or the Dragon Familiar applies") can make this fight even simpler.
