Sunfreet

Sunfreet is a boss in the Dominion Tower, first mentioned in February 2012's Behind the Scenes. There are two versions of it: one for those with a combat level of at least 110, and a weaker one with the same moves, available for all. Sunfreet can only be fought in the Special matches ''The Fire! It Burns! or The Fire! It Burns! (easy version)''. These special matches prohibit prayer, power-ups, special attacks, or familiars from being used.

Strategy
Sunfreet always starts out flying at the beginning of a battle. While Sunfreet is in the air, it shoots four waves of fireballs which deal extremely rapid typeless damage (1s and 2s in easy mode or 15s to 50s in hard mode). A single series of fireballs, if not evaded, is more than enough to kill any player. These fireballs cannot be blocked by an anti-dragon shield or antifire potions, and the attacks never miss. Players have to stand in an area where the fireballs will not land. To evade its fire rain attack, first stay at the location you are when the battle begins, in the middle ring, then stay at the outer ring for two waves, then go to the centre of the arena.

For the two outer ring waves, it is recommended to stay at the edge for the first wave, and stand closer to the middle (but at least 3 squares from the cluster of fireballs. You will not have sufficient time to run to the centre if you stand at the very edge. Angle your screen to an eagle's eye view to better see where the fireballs are landing.

After the four waves of fireballs, Sunfreet lands and fights on the ground for some time. If the player happens to be standing where Sunfreet lands, they will be dealt a very high amount of damage.

Eventually, Sunfreet start flying again and send out another four waves of fireballs. This cycle will repeat indefinitely until it goes berserk. The waves of fireballs would always have the same pattern. The amount of hits received depends on how many fireballs are close enough to damage the player.

Sunfreet is immune to the effects of rings of recoil and Vengeance, as well as poison.

In melee range, Sunfreet will only use melee. Otherwise, it will attack with magic. Sunfreet attacks with stab-based melee, so Ganodermic armour is not recommended if the player wishes to tank. It has a reach of two squares with its jabbing tail, same as a halberd.

The Sunfreet has a very high defence to all attack styles except for crush (melee); it is possible to use a full inventory of Scorpion meat without getting a single hit in if you are not exploiting this weakness.

Once Sunfreet reaches 1/6 of it's health, it will become berserk. It is activated by it shouting "Grraaaagh!". During this phase it will no longer perform it's fire rain or it's special attacks. It will hit faster and more accurate, so players must be more wary of their life points during this part of the battle. Use of the Goliath gloves is highly recommended, as their special effect is capable of activating while fighting Sunfreet and reducing his combat stats and defence while simultaneously damaging him with its crush attacks. During Sunfreet's berserk mode it is most likely the gloves will have drained much of Sunfreet's stats, making the fight much easier.

Wearing Karil's armour, Armadyl armour or Pernix armour is highly recommended when Sunfreet lands as it will most likely use a magic attack before you reach him. As you reach him equip your armor in which you will use to fight.

Simultaneously, it is possible to use a hit and run tactic whereby Sunfreet will only use his magic attacks, allowing the player to equip armor with high magic defence and magic absorption to make the fight considerably easier.

Special attacks
The Sunfreet has two special attacks that are both initiated when it crouches. Its first special attack is a roar that will stun the player for a few seconds. The second and more dangerous attack is when the Sunfreet swings its tail to deal heavy melee damage, usually over 700, but possibly as high as 1000.

The swing of the tail can be avoided by moving at least 2 squares away. The roar is avoided by facing away from it. Sunfreet will also swing its tail when you range or mage it, in which case it does nothing. The roar also has an unknown range; if the player stand far enough (around 6 squares away), they would not be stunned even if facing Sunfreet, allowing players to continuously range/mage him. This method of avoiding is not recommended, as Sunfreet has extremely high defence against all but crush.

Rewards
After killing the level 530 version of this boss, you will receive 4250 Dominion Factor, along with a visual upgrade to the dominion marker.

Defeating the level 80 version gives no rewards.

Trivia

 * The concept art of Sunfreet was being worked on live at Runefest 2011.
