For the attacker I have suggested a Godsword and there are 4 different Godswords (Saradomin, Armadyl, Bandos and Zamorak) all 4 have the same stats but different specials. the weapons recently have been updated, and a chaotic longsword is your best bet at bandos by far! if you dont have it, a chaotic rapier isnt far behind, then the godsword is after, the godswords are listed in order of efficiency,
- The Armadyl Godsword hits 25% harder for 50% of the bar.
- The Bandos Godsword special hit drains stats from the target starting with defence and hits 10% harder, this uses up 50% of the bar.
- The Saradomin Godsword uses 50% of the bar and heals half of the damage dealt and 25% of the damage onto prayer.
- The Zamorak Godsword freezes the target for a few seconds, this uses up 50% of the bar.
I would suggest the Bandos Godsword for players with lower attack levels, or those that cant afford expensive weapons, as it has a good special as it will quicken up the process of killing General Graardor and his bodyguards, the Bandos Godsword is also the cheapest Godsword on the G.E.
Armadyl godsword is best for those that can afford it for its super strong special!
Size of Teams.
- All combat levels around 60 (with the required 70 strength to get in) could go with a team of 8 – 11, but they will need a good tank to take the bulk of the damage.
- All combats levels around 70 could do it with 5 people plus a good tank and could last a couple of rounds.
- All combat levels around 80 could do it with 3 people and a good tank.
- All combat levels around 90, at this point I would suggest to start duoing or even soloing (if you have enough experience fighting Bandos)
- most killes and efficiency will be achieved at maxed combat levels with 96 herblore for overloads!
Strategy.
The tank always goes in first using protect from melee and starts attacking General Graardor. Then the rest of team come in protecting from range and attack General Graardor. No matter what kill General Graardor before attacking the bodyguards. Once General Graardor is dead the ranger (if you have one) attacks Steelwill while protecting from magic. The rest of the team attack Strongsack and then Grimspike (if you don’t have a ranger or the ranger has not killed Steelwill then attack Steelwill). Then pick up your drops and get ready for the next round.
