The strykebow is the strongest shieldbow in the game which requires 85 Ranged and 85 Defence to wield. Making a strykebow requires combining a dark bow with a wyrm scalp which is a unique drop from the Lava strykewyrm and the WildyWyrm. The Strykebow will last 10 hours in combat and will leave you with the wyrm scalp on degrade. A dark bow will recharge the strykebow by 20%.

It is the Ranged equivalent of the staff of darkness and lava whip.

Passive Effect

The strykebow has a passive effect whereby it will store how much damage the player has received since initiating combat/since the bow was equipped. This will clear after combat/on weapon switch. After 15 shots (5 shots in Legacy mode) with the bow, 10% of the damage received will be released in the form of a second arrow shot.

The damage that is stored has a number of restrictions:

  • At 50k damage the incoming damage will be halved before it is stored.
  • At 70k damage the incoming damage will be divided by 10 before it is stored.
  • At 80k damage no more incoming damage will be stored.

Special Attack

The strykebow has a special attack that will fire out an arrow that will trap the opponent in a column of fire requiring 25% of the special attack/adrenaline bar to use. 12.5% of stored damage will then be released in the form of a fast ticking damage over time (DoT) attack that will last for 4.8 seconds.
