Blood Barrage is the highest tier of blood spells, it is capable of a hitting 290 life points with no bonuses. However, with bonuses it can hit a maximum of 521 against an individual target, or a total of 4692 damage when used on 9 multicombat targets. This is achieved with an Extreme magic potion or Overload, a Staff of Light, an Arcane Stream Necklace and a Hexcrest or Full slayer helmet, while being used against a slayer assigned monster in Kuradal's Dungeon with a Ferocious ring equipped.
Blood Barrage will recover the caster's life points by one quarter of the damage inflicted. Thus, the maximum amount of life points that can be healed is 119 (from one target), or 983 life points (against 9 assigned slayer monsters).
As with all Ancient Magicks spells, the quest Desert Treasure must be completed to cast this spell.
This spell is sometimes used alongside various other barrage spells, such as Ice Barrage, in multi-combat PvP activities. This method is normally used by players with high Magic, Defence, and Constitution levels, along with a large amount of coins (due to the expense of using Ancient Magicks). Players may save approximately 50 percent of the coins by using a Staff of Light with Battle Robes.
This healing effect is best used along with the Soul Split curse, since nearly half (9/20 exactly) of the damage is healed (at maximum) per spell, making it extremely deadly, as it can heal on maximum 1174 without boosts, 2111 with boosts against 9 targets, thus, along with Virtus set, the caster will be nearly invincible. It has a great effectiveness in Soul Wars. Due to the high damage per minute and Zeal points, this can be one of the fastest ways to reach 99, albeit expensive. This combination is also sometimes used in Stealing Creation, aided by the fact that runes are created quickly and for free in the minigame.
Remember, you cannot use Lunar Spells or Standard spells if you are using Ancient Magicks.
