This writeup is intended to be mobile-friendly as the UI can make switching difficult. Thus, there will be a focus on limiting the amount of switching necessary, from gear to prayers. Using a web browser or PC will help, as you will be able to swap gear much faster, but is not required. Using a PC will allow you to switch prayers, gear, or spells to optimize DPS, but these will not be discussed in depth.

===Unhallowed Wasteland, 100% Slayer Negation Sets===
This is the most important set and is targeted for {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}}. You can use this set for the remaining Slayer areas, but it will be helpful to swap to the other sets to optimize your damage output. The important part about this gear set is reaching 100% slayer negation, no matter how you reach it.

If the {{ItemIcon|Ultima Godsword}} has not been obtained yet, the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}} and {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} are alternatives. If these are to be used, the {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} should be equipped in the offhand.
