Using Leaf Bladed Sword at Iron and Steel Dragons?

Featured Replies

Been as mithril dragons are hurt by stab attacks, and the tip it guide says to use a leaf bladed sword on them, would it be better to use on at Iron dragons over a whip?

This is not a fact but something i dare to assume:

 

 

 

- Abyssal whip is best to use at level 95 attack and over at Mithril dragons

 

- Abyssal whip is best to use at level 90 attack and over at Iron dragons

 

- Abyssal whip is best to use at level 90 attack and over at Iron dragons

 

 

 

Why Whip?

 

- More accuracy despite slash not being a metals dragons weakness

 

- Alot more strength bonus than Leaf-bladed

 

- Faster than Leaf-blade

 

 

 

So i would use Leaf-bladed sword at under 90 attack at Metals.

 

 

 

I have tested Leaf-bladed sword on Mithril and i saw the effect right away, so it's a excellent weapon if you want to level strength at dragons/or don't have a Abyssal whip.

 

 

 

I choose to use Abyssal whip because it has alot more strength bonus, more speed than Leaf-blade and at higher attack level it penetrates better.

Both the leaf-bladed sword and whip have the same speed. At 99 attack, I still find the sword to be better at steels, mithrils, and KBD.

I found the leaf bladed sword to be better for me at mith dragons, but i found the whip to better at steel dragons, but I'd go for the whip for the higher strength bonus as long as you have a decent attack level

ABYSSAL WHIP

 

Slash attack bonus: 82

 

Strength bonus: 82

 

 

 

LEAF-BLADED SWORD

 

Stab attack bonus: 67

 

Strength bonus: 50

 

 

 

So Leaf-blade might have a advantage because it has stab attack option since that's the dragons weakness. But, by using a Leaf-blade you loose 30 strength bonus, as well have lower attack bonus in attack style you use (Which is what makes you penetrate better).

I've been using it there only over the dragon scimitar, since I've been training str :thumbup:

If leveling strength that is

I actually tested it.

 

 

 

Whip is marginally faster than sword at iron drags.

So sword is faster at steel+?

 

 

 

Also, i tested at kbd and sword is much faster (for me)

Actually, Sara Sword and Zerker combo destroy the D scim on non-dragons.

I have used Berserker necklace+Obsidian mace weapon, though it gives higher damage it is not worth it:

 

 

 

1) Lower defense (I am 99 defence and 99 magic and at Waterfiends with Bunyip because of side effects of Berserker necklace my bunyip couldn't keep up the healing with prayer ranged)

 

 

 

2) A bit more 0s

 

 

 

So the damage is not worth the losses unless your fighting a very easy monster such as Dust devils.

 

 

 

I don't think Saradomin sword can beat Dragon scimitar+Rune defender.

It can and does. It has a higher Str bonus, and is faster (same speed as whip). And the offenses bonuses it has may also be greater, but im not to sure on that.

There's literally no monster worth +4 for -9 strength where you'd use Saradomin Sword or Scimitar+Defender.

1 point of attack bonus =/= 1 point of strength bonus. Strength bonus is weighted slightly heavier. True, in some cases you would give up 9 for 4, but those are rare.
