Misthalin

Overview

Attack, Strength, and Defence are all trained in similar ways through combat. Strength can be trained slowly through barbarian fishing Kandarin, and Defence can also be trained with Ranged or Magic while on the defensive combat style.

Relics

Brawler's Resolve is the most impactful relic for melee combat. It has the following effects:

  • Weapons with an attack speed of 4 or higher have the stat halved and rounded down, while weapons with an attack speed of 3 have the stat halved and rounded up.
  • Melee accuracy increased by 50%
  • 10% chance to deal a critical strike on a successful melee hit, which deals double damage
  • 90% charges saved when using charged melee weapons such as the Scythe of vitur or Blade of saeldor
  • Immune to all status effects, including but not limited to poison, venom, and firebreath, with the exception of stuns and roots.
  • Melee, Ranged, and Magic defence is increased by 50%.

Other relics that may be useful for Melee training and combat include:
