OSRS Voidwaker Guide: Unleash the Disrupt Special!

The Voidwaker stands as one of Old School RuneScape's most unique and potent special attack weapons. Assembled from components dropped by the weaker variants of the Wilderness bosses, this fearsome blade boasts a powerful special attack that deals guaranteed Magic damage, making it a versatile tool in both PvM and PvP scenarios.

This guide covers the Voidwaker's stats, its signature "Disrupt" special attack, how to obtain and assemble it, and its optimal applications.

Voidwaker Stats & Requirements

  • Requirement: 75 Attack
  • Style: Primarily Slash/Stab (One-Handed)
  • Attack Speed: 4 ticks (2.4 seconds)
  • Key Stats:
    • Stab Attack: +70
    • Slash Attack: +80
    • Crush Attack: -2
    • Magic Attack: +5
    • Melee Strength: +80
    • Magic Defence: +2

Its base stats are comparable to mid-high tier melee weapons like the Ghrazi Rapier or Blade of Saeldor in terms of strength, but slightly lower accuracy. Its true power lies in its special attack.

Special Attack: Disrupt

  • Cost: 50% Special Attack Energy
  • Effect: Deals guaranteed Magic damage.
  • Damage Calculation: Hits between 50% and 150% of the wielder's current maximum melee hit.
    • Example: If your max melee hit is 60, Disrupt will hit guaranteed Magic damage between 30 and 90.
  • Accuracy: The special attack does not roll for accuracy – it always hits (unless the target is completely immune to Magic).
  • Experience: Grants Magic XP based on damage dealt (similar formula to powered staves).

Key Advantages of Disrupt:

  • Consistency: Guaranteed damage makes it reliable, especially against high-defence targets where normal specs might miss.
  • Magic Damage Type: Bypasses Protect from Melee prayer in PvP and physical defences in PvM. Useful against targets weak or neutral to Magic.
  • High Potential: The 150% scaling allows for very high potential hits based on your max melee hit.

Limitations:

  • Less effective against targets highly resistant to Magic (e.g., Olm's melee hand, Nylocas Vasilias melee form).
  • Damage is still capped by the target's remaining HP.

Obtaining and Assembling the Voidwaker

The Voidwaker is created from three untradeable components, each dropped by one of the weaker Wilderness bosses (requiring Medium Wilderness Diary):

  1. Voidwaker Blade: Dropped by Calvar'ion (Vet'ion variant). Rate: 1/912.
  2. Voidwaker Hilt: Dropped by Artio (Callisto variant). Rate: 1/912.
  3. Voidwaker Gem: Dropped by Spindel (Venenatis variant). Rate: 1/912.

Once you have all three pieces:

  • Take the Blade, Hilt, and Gem to Madam Sikaro in the dungeon beneath the Ferox Enclave.
  • Pay her a fee of 500,000 coins.
  • She will assemble the Voidwaker, which is tradeable.

Optimal Uses for the Voidwaker

The Voidwaker's guaranteed Magic damage spec makes it valuable in various situations:

  • PvP (Player vs Player):
    • Finishing Weapon: Excellent for securing kills due to its reliability against Protect from Melee. Often used after landing a hit with another spec weapon (AGS, Claws, Maul) to finish the opponent.
    • Combo Potential: Its 50% cost allows for potential back-to-back specs or combos with other 50% spec weapons.
  • PvM (Player vs Monster):
    • High Defence / Low HP Bosses: Effective against targets where consistent damage is needed to finish phases or kills quickly, bypassing high physical defences (e.g., Kalphite Queen phases, GWD Generals finish-offs, Phosani's Nightmare pillars/final phase).
    • Magic Weakness/Neutrality: Performs well where the Magic damage type isn't heavily resisted.
    • Corporeal Beast: Deals full damage despite Corp's general Magic resistance (as it's not a standard spell).
    • Specific Mechanics: Useful in scenarios requiring guaranteed damage within a short window.

Conclusion

The Voidwaker is a top-tier special attack weapon, bridging the gap between melee prowess and magic damage. Its assembly requires tackling the revamped Wilderness bosses, but the reward is a uniquely consistent and powerful tool. The guaranteed Magic damage of its "Disrupt" special attack provides reliable burst potential in both PvM and PvP, securing its place as a highly sought-after weapon in the OSRS endgame meta.
