Slaying using combat familiars

[SirHartlar]

Might be a stupid question but should I be using scrolls or just their regular attack? Also, should I use Iron Titan everywhere or does a Wolpertinger have its uses?

Well the use of the familiar will be dependant on whether you are required to use a healing familiar or if the area is multi combat (although they still have their uses). I rarely use combat familiar scrolls due to the expensive and how quickly I go through them (unless it's wolpertinger/unicorn scrolls). But if you can afford to use the scrolls, make sure to bring them along as they are a great help (don't forget to keep filling your slayer helmet). Combat familiars still do a lot of damage without scrolls. :thumbup:

 

A wolpertinger would really only be useful for any task you mage, notably ice wyrms, but not much else apart from that.

I have a ton of spec restores I need to use up so combining that with the elite seers Excalibur might work well for healing, I just did a Dagannoth task and it was very effective.

I rarely use combat familiars anymore. I'd say that if you Piety then combat familiars without a scroll don't really have any use, except maybe Spiritual Mages, but you kill them so quickly anyhow.

It's a fairly good fighter tbh

Steel titan > Iron titan >>> wolpertinger

 

You should always use as many scrolls as possible for the titans, aswell as have some scrolls inside your FSH(somehow allows you to do more specs every hour).

Scrolls that are activated when inside a helmet don't use up special move points.

I don't think it's 100% true, they sometimes take points, sometimes don't.

 

It's also sometimes smart to carry summoning pots to be able to use more scrolls an hour, assuming you have the inventory space.

You should be using the best combat familiar you can, whenever you can. Wolper scrolls are great for maging, but aside from that you should only really use scrolls with an iron and steel titan. If you can use an iron titan, use it in all multi-combat situations.

Super restores do summoning, right? So if you really want to go all-out...

[Aslan]

Only levels, he means using summoning potion to regain the special bar of your familiar.

Well I meant that, but apparently supers don't do those. We need extreme restores :D.

Always use iron titan and as many scrolls as possible for every multi combat task.

Pretty easy :P Although a bit easier once you can soul split and never worry about taking damage.
