Freedom is a basic Defence ability. It requires level 34 Defence to use. When activated, all binds, stuns, and bleeds on the player are removed. The player also gains immunity from further binds and stuns for six seconds. Freedom does remove the stun from failing attempts at thieving NPCs, allowing the player to move or attack, but not to pickpocket until the normal stun duration is over. Freedom currently does not prevent a second stun within the 6 seconds it's intended to give stun immunity to the player, making NPCs capable of stunning the player even after use of freedom. There are, however, a number of stun attacks that Freedom cannot be used against.
Outside of breaking free of stuns and binds, Freedom also has additional usage:
- If used before these attacks start:
- It prevents Araxxor and Araxxi from dragging the player near them when they start their cleave attack. Additionally, it reduces the amount of clicks needed to break free from the cocoon attack from 5 to 2.
- It stops Nex from dragging the player near her from her magic auto-attacks during her Smoke Phase.
- It removes the bind effect from the Kalphite King's Beetlejuice attack, allowing them to use Bladed Dive.
- It halves the enrage stacks accumulated by Beastmaster Durzag and Yakamaru.
- In a PvP situation, it halves the damage dealt from accumulated Storm Shards.
Freedom will also remove the following damage over time effects:
- Dismember
- Slaughter
- Blood Tendrils (the user of the ability will still take self damage)
- Massacre
- Fragmentation Shot
- Corruption Shot
- Deadshot
- Combust
- Corruption Blast
- Igneous Cleave
- Attacker's insignia
It will not remove the following:
Autoattacking[edit | edit source]
As with all defensive abilities, Freedom can be paired with an auto attack to gain more adrenaline than normal abilities, as well as allow the player to deal damage where they are otherwise unable to. The auto attacks can be used for more than just damage: Ice Barrage can bind a group of enemies, vulnerability can increase the damage taken by the enemy, entangle can bind a target in place, etc. Note that the ability used before Freedom must be cast with dual-wielded weapons with the fastest attack rate.
You can use both an off-hand auto attack and two-handed auto attack during the ability, making it unique from the other defensive abilities, which only allow one auto attack.[clarification needed] If the conditions apply, an off-hand auto attack will come out on the same tick as the ability is used. A tick later the player can equip a two-handed weapon to take advantage of the higher damaging staff auto attack over a wand auto attack. Switching back to dual wield weapons before the next ability is important when using 4-tick auto-attack.
When taking advantage of Freedom's auto attacks you can expect +11% adrenaline in magic and +12% in melee and ranged, instead of the base +8% adrenaline you would gain otherwise.
