Other options by slot
The best magic pick for each slot and the next best options. Each percentage is the DPS you lose by swapping in just that item against Phantom Muspah.
Mechanics
It cycles ranged, melee and shielded forms, switching after 100 damage in ranged form or 80 in melee form.
In ranged form pray missiles, and switch to magic when you see the magic animation. That hit goes up to 72 and drains your prayer over time. The melee form hits harder the longer it stands still, up to 34, so freeze or kite it. The shielded form's shield has 75 health, drops 2 per hit, and the boss heals half your damage. Smite, corruption spells and enchanted sapphire bolts break it faster. At 75% and 50% it adds lightning clouds and homing spikes, and below 127 health a shockwave for up to 80 that you hide from behind a spike.
Which style: Magic on the melee form, ranged otherwise. Many people just use ranged.
