{{Disclaimer|This section is still a work in progress to account for new items in both expansions. It will be updated as the meta changes and more strategies are discovered.}}
This guide 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 [[Glossary|DPS]], but these will not be discussed in depth.

===Unhallowed Wasteland, 100% Slayer Negation Sets===
===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 {{Skill|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.

You can use this set for the remaining {{Skill|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, which may be achieved with the below equipment plus the {{AgilityIcon|Pillar of Combat}}. If available, {{TotH}} {{ItemIcon|Explorers Map II}} can be used to allow for alternative equipment choices for either the [[Ring]] or [[Passive Slot]].


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.
