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 Zulrah.
Mechanics
Zulrah follows one of four set rotations, so you can learn it.
Green uses ranged, red melees twice, and blue uses magic and ranged. In the Jad phase you switch between missiles and magic prayer every attack, and the prayer only has to be on when the animation starts. Venom clouds hurt anyone in their 3x3. Snakelings have 1 health but hit accurately for up to 15, which is what a ring of recoil or suffering is for. If Zulrah dies as it attacks, that attack still lands and can kill you.
Which style: Ranged and magic together. Fire spells are 50% more accurate and do 50% more damage.
