The fight

Mechanics

Smoke devils only use ranged, so pray missiles.

The dungeon hurts you for 10 every so often unless you wear a facemask or slayer helmet. They have some magic defence, so accuracy matters when barraging. Stack them up to get the most out of each cast.

Which style: Magic. Ice Barrage stacked devils with a cannon.
