Telos: Magic

Introduction

​

This guide assumes very strong understanding of everything found in #telos-basic and #Stuns & Mechanics Overview. The rotations listed below are ideally used at 1000%+ enrage. However, they will generally work at lower enrage as well, and it is encouraged to learn these rotations as early as possible to build good habits and muscle memory.

​

An average kill at 2449% enrage is worth 7,470,988 in uniques alone. This assumes an estimated orb price of 36,691,311. Advanced players can get up to 18.2 kph, earning 135,971,973/hr.

​

Notable Enrage Checkpoints and Changes (999+)

⬥ 1000% P4 one rock will fall, P5 multiple rocks will fall, immortality no longer works P5, and Telos will freedom stuns and binds with a 16 tick cooldown

⬥ 2000% "So you think you can guard?" Achievement, aka Silver Warden

⬥ 2700% Tendrils damage required caps at 30,000

⬥ 3300% The first prayer drain on P3 will smite you from full unless Telos touches the beam.

⬥ 4000% Hard enrage cap; "True Warden" achievement, aka Gold Warden

Preset Suggestions

⬥ Magic w/o FSoA

​

Prefight

Pre-building is recommended as it allows you to preserve your for P3. However, it is not strictly necessary. If skipping pre-build, you must still and properly to ensure proper target cycle timing. For more details, read "Target Cycling" in #Stuns & Mechanics Overview.

Phase 1

Notes on Execution

Demo w/ ability tracker: link All P1 rotations have a variation of → → ability, done as follows: ⬥ (Tick 0) - with staff + walk forward, in that order, same tick ⬥ (Tick 1-2) - equip DW ⬥ (Tick 3) - + in that order, on next GCD (off-hand freedom auto) ⬥ (Tick 4-5) - equip staff ⬥ (Tick 6) - + ability, in that order, same tick on next GCD (not a 4TAA)

​

You must be north of for to hit on-tick. Do this either by walking to NE corner of your some time after , or by clicking Telos just after walking

​

Note: to increase consistency of reaching phase HP, it is recommended to use enchanted for every 2H abil post-hammer, and/or enter the fight with available.

​

Phase 2

After your asphyxiate at the beginning of the phase, you should take a step forward and escape or run back to the corner. Taking a step forward ensures that the black beam spawns mid arena and prevents Telos from pre-walking your escape which will help keep Telos out of the beam when it changes. As Telos' autos at this enrage start to deal more damage, it becomes heavily encouraged to stay out of melee distance of Telos, as his mage autos do less damage than melee. Using escape prior to detonate will allow you to force mage autos, while keeping you within familiar range and maximum weapon range.

​

⬥ Depending on HP, you can:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎● Fastest (~310k hp): → excal stall (or if not stalling)

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎● Fast: (2H) (2-hit) → → → excal stall (or if not stalling)

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎● Slow: (2H) (2-hit) → → (DW) → (DW for accuracy) → → → .

​

Note: If the phase hp is reached after , replace → with (DW) wait 2 ticks → (2H) (stall) . Doing so leads to a faster P3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QexFjeAr1ik

Note 1: using slow P3 with means it is not available for fastest P4.

Note 2: using enchanted for each 2H ability, and stalling in P2 will increase consistency of fastest rotation.

Phase 5

Note: for more information on timing & moving efficiently throughout P5, read: #P5 Movement & Timing

​

Phase 5 is a phase where significant changes occur at 1k. Most importantly, immortality will no longer block the instakill, so you will need to either 0 font or font minions. Also due to the number of rocks that fall and how much damage the virus deals, it becomes almost a requirement to Barricade . An armour switch with Turtling 4 and Clear Headed 4 is heavily recommended to allow you to Barricade with your Kalphite Rebounder .
