Player vs Player RuneScape 3 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

PvP in RuneScape isn't the most important thing. Players can fight at one of arenas which are present in the whole map. Acceptation of a duel begins the battle. There are some particular minigames attached to this activity and they are divided onto two main parts. The first one is so called safe minigame. During it, you don't have to worry about losing experience or equipment after dying. Rewards aren't too big, but still - you train Combat skills. Of course, you should choose enemies according to your level and you have to be very careful with that. You can, of course, duel with the player who is much stronger than you, but the result is easy to predict. Duels are divided on solo and multi. In solo you fight 1vs1 while in multi there are whole teams fighting each other.

Theoretically, all classes are good in PvP. Every of them has assets and disadvantages

• Mage - The big asset of mage is for sure a 100 % efficiency in attack. Immobilizing and paralytic spells let you quickly eliminate an enemy. But Mage has a very low defence. As you probably know, Mages wear in general robes which aren't a good protection against swords, axes or arrows. There are, of course, spells improving defence for the short period of time, but it's not a solid solution.
• Melee Fighter - Fighters are very endure and can stand against lot of physical damage. But they have the lowest magic defence from all classes. Shields can stop arrows and swords easily, but immobilize him with a spell and he is totally helpless.
• Archer - Archers deal the highest amount of damage. They are not afraid of magic immobilizing. Most of armors have high magic defence, so they are not feared of spells. Unfortunately, they also have some flaws. They are not able to, in general, to get through a shield of the warrior.

There is no multifunctioning class in RuneScape. PvP works like paper-rock-scissors but you can't tell that Archer will always lose to Fighter. There are different way of fighting and survival. First of all, you have to have high level of Combat and good equipment. You need also to know your hero and use your skills wisely.
