Mechanics

Green shield (random) : Kalphite King heals 75% of all damage dealt by players.

Red shield (random) : Kalphite King heals 100% of all damage dealt to players.

Greens (Beetlejuice) : Kalphite King stuns and binds the tank for 8 seconds, leaving them unable to do anything. He then deals a melee attack that can hit up to 32k damage. Greens only happen during range and melee phase.

Digs : Kalphite King becomes unattackable and digs under the ground for 10 seconds, it then appears under the player it last targeted, dealing up to 5k damage if not avoided. Digs only happen on range and magic phase.

Charges : Kalphite King becomes unattackable and charges towards a wall, players who fail to avoid the space between the charging boss and wall will be hit up to 4k damage. Charges only happen on melee and magic phase.

Minions : Kalphite King spawns minions when it reaches 195k and 65k HP.

Strategies and Tips

• before and at the start of every kill.

• Never stun outside of proper stun timings.

• Stay close to the tank during digs but not in the surface radius.

• Run with the boss during charges.

• or at the start of range and magic phases, use the other defensive when your first runs out.

• during mage charge.

• blue ball during mage phase (usually happens the attack after mage charge if you forget how to count).

• Use on melee phase only after you receive both bleeds. If you a dismember before you get slaughtered you’re not going to have a fun time, especially if you get pushed.

• The amount of times you get hit by the standard attack while the Incendiary Shot icon ( )is on your buff bar is the amount of times you will be hit by the Incendiary Shot

• If you get a stun with the Incendiary Shot after green, don’t freedom. Either wait until the stun clears and to KK when he surfaces or to minions to clear and then back to KK.

• Don’t stand directly between KK and a wall during melee or mage phase or you will be hit up to 5k.

• Use during the first 4 autos of mage phase so you can continue to attack the boss without moving.

Step-by-step Bladed Dive Guide

   • If learning, not skipping charge is recommended so you can learn how to get an accurate count on attacks.

2. Count 2 KK autos.

3*. Equip shield or defender if you are learning. Can be done after when more experienced.

3. 

4. Let the boss green you

5. Queue and aim away from walls and minions

9. , or (Only or if there are no minions)

If you get greened solo, you can spam Freedom and a teleport to avoid death.
