This writeup 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 DPS, but these will not be discussed in depth. | This writeup is intended to be mobile-friendly as the UI can make switching difficult.

In summary, you will need to clear 4 {{Skill|Slayer}} areas a total of 5 times to complete the entire event. At the end of every area cleared, a harder Boss monster will spawn - it is simply a regular monster with extra combat modifiers. At the end of every round of 4 slayer areas cleared, {{MonsterIcon|Bane}} will spawn. You will have time to swap gear before starting the fight with {{MonsterIcon|Bane}}. | ||

You will need to equip each outlined set as you will be switching between equipment sets frequently. | |||
Gear is DR-focused for both mobile- and {{Icon|Hardcore}}-friendly completion. The rewards given while clearing the event are not required but may help with DPS if you so choose to use them. The {{ItemIcon|Maximum Skillcape}} is non-negotiable, as fights take place in Slayer areas. | |||

Melee | This is the most important set and is targeted for {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}}. You can use this set for the remaining Slayer areas, but it will be helpful to swap to God Armor for better bonuses once completed. | ||

====God Armour Set==== | |||
The God Armour sets can be used for all Slayer areas beside {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}}. Being mobile-focused, an emphasis on DR options is preferred. Thus {{ItemIcon|Terran God Platebody|Terran Armor}} and {{ItemIcon|Earth Layered Shield|ELS}} are recommended for all 3 combat styles, but can be swapped for {{ItemIcon|Ragnar God Platebody|Ragnar Armor}} and DPS shields ({{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} and {{ItemIcon|Scaled Shield}}) respectively if you feel comfortable, ELS should remain on your Magic set as it has no real alternative shield until you have killed the third Bane. | |||
