Suqah’s Attacks

Suqahs attack with stab and magic with a max hit of 10. The ones in the northern part of the island attack with magic (Ice Barrage and Water Wave) and melee. Players not using Protect from Magic when facing them will take a guaranteed 10 damage when hit. Suqahs in the southern part of the island use only melee, so players won’t take any damage when using Protect from melee. However, they are more spread out, so they will lead to lower XP per hour. 

 

Cannon Strategy for Suqahs

To get the best XP per hour, you should attack the Suqahs in the northern part of Lunar Isle while using Protect from Magic and wearing gear with high melee defence. Since you’ll take damage while fighting the Suqahs, bring plenty of food and prayer potions, and use the nearby bank to restock when needed. Stand close to your cannon to ensure Suqahs enter its double-hit zone as they approach you. You should use piety while completing this task to finish it quickly and save cannonballs.
