If you are an avid Old School RuneScape (OSRS) player, you are probably already familiar with the Arceuus Spellbook and its recent rework. With the release of the Greater Resurrect spell, the Arceuus Spellbook has become even more appealing to many players. This article will examine the benefits of using Thralls in boss fights and how to maximize their potential.
Arkea Spellbook Rework Overview
The Arkea Spellbook rework has been a welcome addition to the game, with the Greater Resurrect spell being one of the most sought-after spells. To cast the spell, you must have seventy-six Magic and the Book of the Dead in your inventory. The spell costs 2,000 coins and requires five Blood Runes, 10 Fire Runes, 1 Cosmic Rune, and six Prayer Points. It takes twice as long to cast as the Vengeance spell, but it lasts for a tick for every major level of Magic, up to sixty seconds at ninety-nine Magic. The spell has a max set of 3, does random damage from 0 to 3, and continues attacking after the player has stopped attacking.
Benefits of Using Thralls
While the Greater Resurrect spell has benefits, using Thralls in boss fights can also be incredibly useful. Thralls deal an average of eleven to twelve damage, with a best-case scenario average of thirty-six damage over a whole kill. Styles do not matter when monsters are not completely invulnerable to a combat style, which makes Thralls useful in a wide variety of boss fights.
Thralls are particularly beneficial in solo runs of Chambers of Xeric and for omen solos, as they provide free damage. Vasa is one of the few bosses in the game where Vengeance is significantly better than Thralls. However, pre-venge before entering raids can be used to get the best of both worlds. Thralls are especially useful in Tecton fights due to his high defense and the threat’s ability to continue hitting Tecton as he walks toward the animal.
Maximizing Thralls in Boss Fights
You must know how to use them effectively to get the most out of Thralls in boss fights. Thralls are most effective in rooms where they could be better, such as against Ice Demon or Vasa. When attacking Ulm, using the correct style for Thralls to maximize hits is important. At the theater, it may be worth having one person freeze all, and another mage take Thralls. Thralls are useful in Nilocous and Nylon boss rooms, as they will not reflect damage. In Physics phases, Thralls are exceptional due to the high defense that cannot be drained.
Nightmare and Calisto are great examples of bosses where Thralls are a huge DPS increase. Thralls give free damage at Cerberus and Grotesque Guardians and can help hit the heel skip on the dawn. At Sarah, they help with her high defense and with cleaning up minions. In the new Foscony’s Nightmare, Armstuff is better than Thralls due to more phases with pillars.
Thralls – Their Benefits, Uses, and Limitations
While Thralls have become incredibly popular with releasing the Arkea Spellbook rework, they have some limitations. For example, for some reason, Thralls do no damage at Kraken, Vespula, and Vos’ crystals. They use up prayer points at Inferno and cannot reach Zucks. However, Thralls have replaced Vengeance and will continue to rise in popularity.
Conclusion
Using Thralls in boss fights can effectively deal damage and increase your DPS. While the Arkea Spellbook rework has brought new spells and possibilities, Thralls remain a solid option for many players. By maximizing the potential of Thralls in boss fights, players can take advantage of their free damage and increase their chances of success.
It is important to note that while Thralls can be a powerful tool, they are not always the best option. Players need to consider the specific boss they are facing and the situation they are in before deciding whether to use Thralls or other spells.
Experimenting and trying different strategies to see what works best for you is always a good idea. With the right approach, Thralls can be a valuable asset in any boss fight and help players achieve their goals in the game.
If you want to increase your DPS and deal more damage in boss fights, try Thralls and see how they work for you. With a little practice and experimentation, you may find that they are the key to success in some of the toughest battles in Old School RuneScape.
