Rune dragon/Strategies

After completion of Dragon Slayer II, rune dragons make residence in the Lithkren laboratory and can be fought. They are the strongest metal dragons, so precaution should be exercised at all times.

Attacks
Although rune dragons use standard dragonfire, multiple attacks during battle and attack from all sides of the combat triangle, similar to their mithril and adamant counterparts, they two unique specials:
 * Electricity: Signaled by throwing two small balls that appear to be electricity on the floor, which will then arc to other tiles around the player, dealing small but rapid damage if the player doesn't move. Can be mitigated with insulated boots.
 * Leeching ranged attack: An augmented Ranged attack that takes the effect of enchanted onyx bolts, which heals the dragon for whatever it hits on the player.

Setup
Melee is the most efficient way of killing rune dragons with base 90 Melee stats and a Zamorakian hasta, which is the best stab weapon. Players will have to tank in order to survive, so Bandos or Barrows equipment is recommended along with Protect from Magic and Piety in tandem. Also, Vengeance could be used for dealing with their healing ranged attacks. As soon as a number appears above the dragon's head, prepare Vengeance.
