'''Rushing''' is a tactic that is employed in [[Bounty Hunter]], [[Wilderness]] and other [[player-killing]] activities. Rushers, players that utilise this tactic, wait until they find a suitable target. When their target is just finishing a battle and is hurt, they move in and attempt to quickly finish them off.

  +
Sometimes, rushers use [[Vengeance]], [[Plank Make]] or some [[emotes]], to stall movement and make their character seem to [[run]] faster. In the Wilderness, they mostly target players with low [[Defence]], high priced [[armour]] ([[Bandos armour|Bandos]], [[Barrows equipment]] etc.) or players training skills. Rushing usually works only when you have a high level [[weapon]].

If using prayer, [[Rigour]]/[[Augury]] help the most, giving a large boost to damage and [[Defence]].

Low level players can use the best [[Strength]] and [[Attack]] boosting prayer available to them.

Use of [[Herblore]] is highly recommended as potions such as [[Super combat]]s at 90 Herblore may be used to give a small damage boost.

RS
This article is about the PvP tactic. For the spells in Ancient Magicks, see Rush spells.

Rushing is a tactic that is employed in Bounty Hunter, Wilderness and other player-killing activities. Rushers, players that utilise this tactic, wait until they find a suitable target. When their target is just finishing a battle and is hurt, they move in and attempt to quickly finish them off.

Rushing barrage-maul combo

A player rushed with Ice Barrage/Granite maul combo.

Sometimes, rushers use Vengeance, Plank Make or some emotes, to stall movement and make their character seem to run faster. In the Wilderness, they mostly target players with low Defence, high priced armour (Bandos, Barrows equipment etc.) or players training skills. Rushing usually works only when you have a high level weapon.

Prayer

If using prayer, Rigour/Augury help the most, giving a large boost to damage and Defence. Piety is also a suitable choice for players without the money and 77 Prayer requirement for the prayer scrolls. Low level players can use the best Strength and Attack boosting prayer available to them.
