Maximum hit

Maximum hit is a term used to describe the highest amount of damage that can be inflicted.

The maximum hit ever in Runescape is 2000000 on a party demon.

Melee
Currently the maximum melee hit is 12,000. This can be done in various ways:


 * Berserk then Overpower
 * Flurry then Overpower on airut while it is stunned from Flurry
 * Berserk then Sever/Assault/Forceful backhand/Stomp/Destroy on airut while it is stunned from Flurry

Drygore weaponry and the Noxious scythe can inflict the maximum melee hit. Lower tiers may hit the maximum too on a stunned airut while under the effects of Berserk.

Ranged
Currently the maximum ranged hit is 12,000. This is performed by using Death Swiftness followed by Shadow Tendrils with a Noxious longbow, or a pair of ascension crossbows or death lotus darts. This ability deals up to 500% weapon damage (it is capped at 12,000).

Magic
Currently the maximum magic hit is 20,000. This is performed by using Sunshine followed by Omnipower with a Noxious staff, or seismic wand and singularity, or virtus wand and book or chaotic staff with Blood Blitz or higher Ancient Magic spell on any combat Muspah. This ability deals up to 400% weapon damage (it is capped at 12,000 on other creatures). Unlike other style maximum hits, magic remains the highest due to the Ancient Magic double damage bonus on Muspah.

Historical
Previously the maximum hit was 3,000 on an enhanced ice titan or ice demon during Ritual of the Mahjarrat.

The ruby bolts (e) have a special effect that removes 20% of the opponent's current life points (at the cost of 10% of the player's own health). Enhanced ice titans and ice demons both have 15,000 life points, and 20% of that is 3,000. Note that the special effect of the bolts is not affected by equipment bonuses and Ranged level.

Prior to this, the maximum hit was 2,000 on an Avatar of Destruction or Avatar of Creation from Soul Wars (10,000 LP), or the Decaying avatar during Nomad's Requiem.
