Special attack[edit | edit source]
The Fractured Staff of Armadyl has a special attack called Instability, which costs 50% adrenaline and has a 60 second cooldown between uses.
For 30 seconds, whenever the player inflicts a magic critical hit on their primary target, they will also fire a magic auto-attack; this auto-attack does not interrupt channelled abilities, and can also trigger an additional auto-attack if it lands as a critical hit. This will happen recursively until a fired auto-attack is not a critical hit. The auto-attacks fired consume runes as normal. Unequipping the staff does not remove the self-buff. When dual wielding, the auto-attack takes the player's main-hand weapon into account. Due to this, changing from the staff to dual wield is detrimental as it results in a significant damage loss.
Additionally, activating the special attack inflicts a hit of 50%-200% ability damage.
The effect only works when using magic weapons; while switching to ranged or melee weapons does not remove the buff timer (compared to the eldritch crossbow, where switching the main hand weapon causes the player to lose the effect), the special attack will not create additional attacks from melee or ranged critical hits.
The auto-attacks from the special attack uses the range of the player's mainhand weapon only. This means that when standing at 8 tile distance with a 1-tile attack range magic weapon equipped on the offhand (the holy cithara being the only known example) and a standard 8-tile magic weapon on the mainhand, auto-attacks will still fire for critical hits landed on the target.
The special attack works best with Smoke Tendrils due to their guaranteed critical hits, Omnipower with the Igneous Kal-Mej, and the Armadyl battlestaff's special attack, Tempest of Armadyl, as a way to dump adrenaline to try and proc critical hits along with all other critical hit boosters as listed below. Likewise, the target should also be afflicted with Smoke Cloud to take advantage of the spell's critical damage increase as the staff can easily snowball massive amounts of damage with the proper boosts. The player can also utilise Erethdor's grimoire to further increase their critical hit chance.
The special attack does not grant its critical hit effect in PvP scenarios but does not go on cooldown either.
Calculator[edit source]
Many sources contribute to the critical hit chance of an attack for Magic. These include (non-exhaustive list):
- Forced critical hit sources
- The Biting perk (+2% per rank with a ×1.1 if it is on a piece of level 20 gear). With Biting 4, this is either +8% or +8.8%
- Erethdor's grimoire provides a +12% increase to one's critical hit
- Rings such as the Reaver's ring (+5%) and the Channeller's ring (+4%) for each successive hit of a channelled magic ability
- Attacks following Concentrated Blast (+10%) or Greater Concentrated Blast (+15%)
- The Kal'gerion demon familiar provides a passive 1% critical hit chance
- The Kal'gerion Demon scroll (Crit-i-Kal) provides a +5% critical hit chance increase for 60 seconds
- Natural critical hit chance of an ability or auto-attack
- These typically take on a range between 5% and 13.5%
- A calculator for finding the probability of an ability or an auto-attack to land a critical hit can be found here: Calculator:Combat/Critical hit chance
If tick 1 is considered to be the tick when the player casts the Instability special attack (50 ticks remain on the bar), then tick 2 is when the initial hit fired from the staff lands on the target (49 ticks remain on the bar). Though it is possible to have a hitsplat land on tick 1, it does not cause an auto-attack to be fired if it crits. Therefore, the first tick possible for a given hit to cause an auto-attack to be fired is tick 2, when there are 49 ticks remaining on the bar.
Furthermore, the time between when the player casts the spell and when the auto-attack lands affects the pace at which auto-attacks are fired from the staff. This in turn sets a maximum number of auto-attacks that can be fired from the staff, given the amount of time left on the buff when the player lands their source hit. The (collapsed) table below shows the time in ticks between the cast and the hit landing on the target.

However, if a hit lands on the cast tick and is a critical hit, it will not cause an auto-attack to be fired. Therefore, the earliest tick that a hit can land is the next tick, when the buff has 49 ticks remaining.
