FAQ –
1. Why shadow Zebak? Isn’t Tbow better DPS?
Yes, Tbow is more DPS on Zebak especially when defence reductions (notably BGS) are applied. However, the anguish/zvambs needed to make Tbow beat the shadow are not consistently very useful in any other room to warrant bringing the extra 3 items. As a compromise in speed, I bring accursed sceptre/seercull for it’s magic reduction special attack, to bring shadow slightly closer to Tbow’s DPS, and gain 2 inventory spaces as a result (which I then allocate into more prayer for 5:1 Baba, and being able to flick less).

2. What’s the webweaver bow for?
This is more specific to high invo 500 raid setups, but it’s a good /”chill/” way to deal with the Path of Amepken puzzle due to it’s long range relatively low overkill. It’s not as efficient as blowpipe by any means, but it’s another way to save inventory space since the webweaver bow doesn’t need an assembler as it does not consume ammo. I’m currently estimating the average time-loss (in Amepken) to range from 5-10s I usually just bring an extra restore so I can hard camp piety at Ba-Ba and potentially Kephri/Zebak, depending on how other rooms go. It’s also able to 1 shot Ba-Ba boulders (27 hp), but is unable to swarm efficiently at Kephri w/ More Overlords enabled (-20-25s?).
It also happens to be unable to poison shamans, which means I receive less chip damage when I do decide to target them.

3. Where are the Ultor/Magus rings good?
The ultor is specifically good for overly draining runs, on Baba/Kephri & P2 Warden Core. The magus is good at Akkha, and Obelisk/P3/P4 Wardens. It is also good if you are maging zebak (only slightly worse than BGS Tbow).

4. Why Bone Dagger?
Very niche to high invo, but TL;DR, 100% accuracy, overly draining boss defence reductions being capped at 20 make bone dagger good.
