There are many types of special attacks (a.k.a spatk or spec); from temporary boosts in stats, to strikes dealing higher damage than normal.

In the combat interface of these weapons, you will notice a special attack bar. If you click on this bar, your character will initiate the weapons special attack. The special attack bar will drain by a certain percentage (depends on the weapon used). If you use all of your special attack bar, it will take five minutes to replenish.

Along with many other things, special attacks in duelling have an option to be turned off. If you do not wish to duel using special attacks, click on "No Sp. Attacks" on the interface.

Below is a list of the weapons that have a special attack assigned to them. Animated images are included to give you an idea of what each special attack looks like. Each weapon drains a different percentage of the special attack bar. This means that if you use too much of the special bar, you won't be able to cast the special attack again, until it's replenished.

Dragon weapons can be difficult to attain without purchasing them, as many are rare drops and the remainder are rewards from increasingly difficult quests. Dragon weaponry is widely used by players because of its stats and their universal ability to use special attacks. The special attacks of Dragon weapons vary in their effects, often they will increase the strength of attacks, or affect the stats of the user or an opponent in combat. For more information about attaining the applicable Dragon items from monsters, see our Dragon Drops guide.

The Godsword was a weapon fought over by the gods of RuneScape in the God Wars. Armadyl, Saradomin, Zamorak and Bandos all created their own hilts for the weapon and when attached to the blade each hilt gives the weapon a different special attack. The weapons are expensive and difficult to attain, for more information see our God Wars Dungeon guide.

The Judgment4
	Weapon Used:	Armadyl Godsword
	Power Usage:	50%
	Effect:	When used, the attack does 25% more damage than normal against an enemy.
	Wield Requirement:	Level 75 Attack

Warstrike5
	Weapon Used:	Bandos Godsword
	Power Usage:	100%
	Effect:	The attack does 10% more damage and drains the opponent's combat stats to 0 in this order: Defence, Strength, Prayer, Attack, Magic, Ranged. Each time the special is used, it will drain the skill lower, when one reaches 0, it will begin lowering the next in line when operated.
	Wield Requirement:	Level 75 Attack
	Tactics:	The weapon is well suited to player vs player combat of all kinds. Since it lowers defence first, the special attack is dangerous to most pures - as it will start lowering their strength levels quickly. Not only is the weapon good for duelling, or PKing - but it can be helpful to take out high level players at minigames such as Castle Wars and the Fight Pits.

These weapons are attained on PVP worlds only, but are capable of being used on normal worlds as well. Due to their significant stat increases these weapons are catered to aiding PKers in combat. These weapons deteriorate throughout their use, meaning they can only last an hour of use in combat.
