Killerwatt

Killerwatts are Slayer monsters that require level 37 Slayer to kill. Players must wear insulated boots to fight them, otherwise they will get hit for up to 14 damage by the thunderclouds inside the area. Note: as soon as you select it as an attack target it will run towards you and attack you like if it was aggressive, sometimes attacking you first. They are a fairly underrated monster, with common Nature rune drops and the occasional air/fire battlestaff drop. At around 70 Defence or Magic, they do not hit as often, especially against black dragonhide armour.

Warning: Killerwatts are much more dangerous than what their combat level may suggest; they can attack very frequently, and are very accurate. Only fight them when wearing armour that has a high magic defence bonus.

Location
Killerwatts can be found on the Killerwatt plane, which is found by stepping through a portal on the top floor of Draynor Manor.

Note that the killerwatt plane is filled with flashing lights, so it is advised that anyone with eye problems or epilepsy should either play in low detail or not go in there at all.

In the Enlightened Journey quest, it was revealed by the balloon travelling screen that killerwatts also inhabit clouds. However, players cannot engage them in battle here.

Strengths and weaknesses
Killerwatts use both ranged and melee, and can hit very rapidly. On distance they will always attack with ranged so if you can, use the Protect from Missiles prayer and pack several vials of Prayer potion. Wearing dragonhide armour can help resist some of the Melee attacks. As they attack extremely rapidly, eating while killing them is not recommended as the killerwatt can hit more than you can eat.

Slayers with a combat level under 100 generally change, skip or remove this monster.

If you let the killerwatt hit you with a melee attack before you hit them, they will only attack you with melee. They still attack fast, but with only melee damage to worry about it should be alot easier. Simply click on a faraway killerwatt and click on the ground near you to make sure he hits you first. Beeing in walk mode will prevent you from running up to him and hitting him first.

It is worth noting that you can use ranged, providing you have a high enough ranged and combat level. You should have run on before trying to trap the killerwatts, allowing you to shoot them without any retaliation. Simply attack a killerwatt and stand on one side of a gap in the clouds. Then quickly run to the opposite side. If this is done correctly the killerwatt will stand there on the other side, glaring menacingly at you. Still, looks can't kill.
