Back in March 2024, we introduced a wide range of systemic updates to the core Combat skills to improve their flow, such as:

• Combat made more fluid - improvements for the original three combat styles to modernise them closer to Necromancy.
• Clearer tooltips, labels and descriptions to help you understand combat and make decisions in the moment.
• Overhaul of accuracy, so it impacts damage rather than chance to hit, removing splashing from RuneScape. Never miss an Ultimate again!
• Improvements to Critical Strike and the damage ranges of abilities so that you are more consistently in control and less at the mercy of RNG.

Prior to releasing those changes, we hosted beta worlds to showcase the changes to players, gather feedback and insight so we could polish and tweak the update.

As a special Christmas surprise, we will be launching another beta, aimed at shaping further modernisations for Combat in 2026. Instructions on how to join are at the bottom of the blog!
