Affinity is the largest contributor to whether an attack will hit a target or not. Every creature in the game has
Abilities a base affinity, which acts as its weaknesses dependent on combat style. The higher a creatures’ affinity is;
the more likely they will be able to be hit with attacks. Another interesting note is that in a group boss
encounter, affinity is not localised to a single player. If you use the ability Quake and give your target 2
Usage Guides Affinity, everybody who is attacking that target will have their accuracy increased, not just you.
Affinity can be applied in a variety of ways, the majority of the buffs lasting one minute before they must be
Affinity reapplied. Affinity can only be applied from any specific source at one time; for instance if you use the Guthix
Staff special attack on a target twice, despite the staff adding two affinity with its special attack your target
will only get two affinity after both special attacks instead of four. However you can use multiple different
Auto Attacks methods of applying affinity, in that case the affinity will stack additively. For instance if you use a Guthix
Staff special attack and then the Quake ability, your target will have four affinity instead of two.
Cancelling Due to this, while affinity may seem a minor change, it can actually be deceptively large.
Let’s make an example a target with 1924 total armor (the same as Telos). Assuming you have 3500
Stuns accuracy, and the target has a base affinity of 40.
72.76 = 40 x (3500/1924)
Thus you would have 72.76% chance to hit the target with any attack. However if we raise the targets
affinity to 42 (+2) you would have an 76.4% chance to hit the target and at 44 affinity, base (+4), you would
have an 80% chance to hit. A reminder that this applies not only to you, but to anyone attacking that target.
Affinity can massively influence how easy a boss is to hit. As a result, you and your team should be applying
affinity as often as you can.

Ability Bars
• Non-Offensive abilities (i.e Anticipation/Freedom) can be used to ‘sneak’ an extra auto attack in
Abilities With Dual Wield (DW) & Two Handed (2H) weapons. This can be achieved by spam-clicking a target
while casting the Non-Offensive ability.
• Similarly, casting Shadow Tendrils will also fire off an auto attack on the same tick losslessly.
Usage Guides • Most Non-Offensive abilities can allow a single additional auto attack, however Freedom allows you
to get both MH & OH hits in, making it the best ability for Sneak Auto Attacks.
Affinity NOTE: Casting a Channeled ability before the Non-Offensive ability will prevent the additional Sneak
Attack, so ensure to use a single hit ability first.
Auto Attacks • 2H works differently to DW. It is required to wait 1 tick (0.6s) between casting abilities to proc a
Sneak-Auto-Attack. This is particularly useful for adding extra damage to an ultimate.
- The combo should look like: “Ability 1 (Or Ultimate) > Wait 1 tick > Ability 2”
Bleeds • When weapon switching to use a 2H ultimate, you will have to retarget the enemy every time if the
weapon isn’t keybound.
Cancelling • With magic, you can force auto attacks by keybinding your active spell and activating it right before
activating another ability. The auto attack will then stack with that ability.
• To sneak in an auto attack with Detonate, use your active spell, then release Detonate on the same
Stuns tick followed by a second ability.
• It is currently only possible to achieve a Four-Tick-Auto-Attack (4TAA) with magic, until faster
Ranged and Melee weapons are released. 4TAAs’ require DW with a 2H switch and a keybound spell.
Begin by casting a Non-Channeled ability, wait 1 Tick then switch to the 2H. Within the next tick, acti-
vate the Active Spell and then cast the second Ability.
- The combo should look like: Ability 1 > Wait 1 Tick > Switch to 2H > Cast Spell > Activate Ability 2”
• When a wand and shield is equipped, you can use an auto attack 2 Ticks after the abilities Global
Cooldown (3 Ticks or 1.8s). This is most useful in scenarios like P5 Vorago or Telos.
• Debuffs can also be stacked just like autocasted spells, just remember to keybind them.
NOTE
Ability Bars
Bleeds are damage-over-time and (for the sake of simplicity) heal-over-time abilities, that once
Abilities placed, passively damage/heal a target. Due to their mechanics, bleeds often require strict
communication in group PvM situations to maximise their efficiency. Thus, bleeds shouldn’t be a
priority for everyone in a public group boss, but should still be used often, especially if you are one
Usage Guides of the only DPS’s using a specific combat style. These are due to a few factors, which associate with
many abilities:
Affinity • These abilities do not stack when multiple players cast them on a target at the same time. If a per-
son casts the same bleed before the previous expires, it cancels the previous, and the bleed’s dura-
tion may or not be renewed.
Auto Attacks • Ice Asylum can’t be activated near another Ice Asylum.
• Bleeds don’t get increased damage from damage-boosting Ultimate abilities, and for that reason
shouldn’t be in your Ultimate rotation.
Bleeds - Corruption Shot/Blast are exceptions due to their high basic damage and should still be used in
group and ultimate rotations.
Cancelling • Mutated Dazing Shot is stackable and great to use in group bossing.
• Debilitate will not cancel when multiple players use it on a target, however the damage reduction is
personal so you must cast it to receive it.
Stuns • Shards should only be used to stall and build Adrenalin when a boss is un-targetable.
NOTE
Ability Bars
Canceling abilities refers to the tactic of manually casting a second ability in-order to end or ‘cancel’
Abilities the animation of the previous ability. This is primarily used for Channeled or Delayed abilities to in-
crease the maximum hit splats and DPS output.
Usage Guides The combo should look like: Ability 1 > Wait X Time/Ticks > Ability 2.
Due to abilities having various delays they need to be canceled at different times. Often, this can be
Affinity determined by the buffbar cooldown of a Channeled ability (the cooldown until the ability ends).
NOTE
Ability Bars
Stuns are generally more utility abilities that prevent the enemy for attacking and also include
Abilities abilities that change the enemies targeted player.
• The Flanking 3 Invention Perk greatly increases the damage of these abilities, making them an
Usage Guides excellent addition to any rotation. They may need to be altered depending on the enemy, such as
those with Stun Immunity.
Affinity • Provoke is used in PvM to make the target aggressive towards a player (and reduces enemy and
player DPS to other targets by 50% in PvP), while Incite is used to make it more aggressive towards
that player, and thus, should be used by the Tank.
Auto Attacks
• Natural Instinct is used in situations where you’d want to build up to full adrenaline while also being
under the effect of your Ultimate in PvP.
Bleeds
• Tuska’s Wrath should always be used during Slayer, and Sacrifice should always be used to KO
targets. These are usually better than the standard basic abilities.
Cancelling
• Tsunami and Incendiary is used to clear hordes of mobs (SW/P5 Telos/Vits/Kalphites).
• Revenge is used to deal high DPS, it’s great when lots of small mobs attack you.
Stuns • Reprisal is used to deal high DPS in situations where you take large type-less damage.
• Transfigure is used to heal back to full health in situations where moving isn’t required.
