Attack speed

Rune dragons are a type of metal dragon that can be found in the eastern chamber of the Lithkren Vault. Rune Dragons can be assigned as an Elite Slayer Task by Duradel. Rune dragons have no Slayer level requirement to kill. Players must have at least 1 Billion combat experience shared between the seven combat stats (attack, strength, defense, range, prayer, magic, and hitpoints) in order to enter the chamber.

Fight Overview

Rune dragons have multiple attacks, similar to mithril and adamant dragons. Along with standard dragonfire attacks, they have a standard melee, ranged and magic attack (which resembles Water Wave), as well as two special attacks.

The first attack is two small electric bolts, which are launched around the player's position and hones in on them. This deals 4–7 damage per tick for a few seconds. If a player is wearing insulated boots, this damage is reduced to 1–2 per tick. Players can avoid the attack entirely by running four to five squares away from their original position when the attack was launched.

The second attack is a ranged attack that hits through Protect from Missiles, and uses the Life Leech effect from enchanted onyx bolts, where the dragon will heal itself for 100% of the damage dealt to the player.

Fight Technique

Players should wear insulated boots (purchasable from any Slayer Master) while fighting rune dragons to reduce damage from the electric bolt attack. When players see this attack launched, they should immediately move 4-5 squares away. While fighting rune dragons, it is recommended to use a dragonfire shield and super antifire potion (substitute antifire potion if also using dragonfire shield).

Location

Rune dragons can be found in the Eastern chamber of the Lithkren Vault. Use the Monsters Teleport in the Spellbook to reach the Lithkren Vault.
