Welcome to the official RuneChamps guide on the Fundamentals of PKing. Many players aspire to master PKing, often believing it’s just about dealing damage and avoiding death. However, there’s much more to it than meets the eye. In this guide, we will cover key concepts such as PID, Ticks, Pot Block, Triple Eating, Praying, and the strategic use of Special Attacks..

The Basics

Use protect item on at all times and watch out for rushers. If you are suddenly frozen or hit by a crossbow bolt, teleport straight away to avoid dying to rushers – they are common in this combat bracket, but easy to avoid if you keep an eye out.

Pre-angler before you step out to have the highest HP possible. When you start a fight, pot up and put your prayer on.

Surviving

Be very careful of your HP, try and stay around 80% of your max HP the entire fight, making sure to not get yourself “pot stuck”. Eating has a set order – Food, Sarabrew, Karambwan. If you eat out of order, you are delayed by a few ticks until your next eat – this is enough to get you killed! So make sure you eat your shark first, brew second and karambwan last.

Understanding PID

To put it as simple as possible, PID determines whose hit registers first. An easy way to see who has pid is to see if your hit registers as your XP drops, or a tick after your XP drops. You want to be speccing on PID and focusing on eating when its not your PID. PID will swap randomly, and if you’re lucky/unlucky it will swap as you or your opponent specs.

If you are “pid swapped”, your opponents hits will register on the same tick, and a tick before you are expecting them to – this makes it incredibly difficult if not impossible to out-eat, but they are rare.

Bank

An organised bank goes a long way in making your inventory quick and easy to manage and refill. I highly recommend keeping your gear and supplies in your first tab, and using your second tab as a loot tab. This way, you can quickly bank without having to search up every single item you need.

KO-ing your opponent

Here comes the fun bit. The granite maul is a great choice for KO-ing, with its potential for huge stacks and ease of use. To double spec, either click the spec bar 3 times in 1 tick and then your opponent, or spam click it 4 times in 1 tick to instant-fire it. If you have a secondary weapon, click it as soon as your XP drops to whack after. If not, hold the gmaul to get an extra hit on the end.

My go to strategy is to wait for two big arrows in a row, and then send the spec. This will mean my opponent is on lower HP and eat stuck, so they can’t out eat my stack (as long as I hit).

The use of F-Keys are essential for this stack, as well as some quick clicking. Practice doing this in PVM or in the clan wars portal, where there is 0 risk, so you can get the timings right and get into the muscle memory of the action. If you aren’t confident switching prayer along with the spec, prod super strength through the entire fight.

These are the basics of PKing! Although it feels complicated at first, you will quickly learn how to fight and kill your opponents whilst surviving their specs. I recommend to new players to buy 10-30 PK sets, and expect to lose them all whilst learning.
