Armoured Phantoms
Introduction
Armoured phantoms are the highest tiered Zemouregal's undead, requiring 113 
to kill. Even though their drops are worth less than that of other similar high-levelled slayer monsters such as abyssal lords 
and moss golems 
, they offer competitive XP rates and make for a fairly speedy task.
They can be killed for following tasks:
• Armoured phantoms, assigned by The Raptor and Laniakea
• Zemouregal's undead, assigned by The Raptor
• Undead cluster, assigned by The Raptor and Laniakea

AFK Methods
⬥ AFK relies on only allowing one phantom to attack you at once by either:
• Standing in a corner, causing phantoms to pile up to be hit with AoE damage such as 
• Using a platypus or tooth creature pet to block phantoms. A cannon 
with the Restocking Cannon upgrade is not necessary for this, but increases kph. An aggression potion 
can be used instead, but yields less kph.
Positioning
⬥ Place the or 
(or for west spot) and:
• Melee: Position yourself in the west as shown below, with the blocking pet to your south (player position in red):
• Else: Position yourself in the north-eastern corner (shown as Other in purple):

• Revo++ and auto-retaliate 
enabled.
• Kinetic cyclone and Scrimshaw of Vampyrism

⬥ Armoured phantoms can be AoE'd efficiently using . Stand in the middle of your cannon as shown below so that the cannon can hit any phantom which approaches you.
• You are positioned nearer to the back of the room to avoid risen ghost aggression.
⬥ This method requires a consistently high damage output to minimise specs. The general ability outline is as follows:

• Use

• Try to get as many 
resets as possible when building adrenaline.
• Use
