[[File:Special attack.png|left|The Special attack bar.]]

Some weapons in RuneScape have '''special attacks''' available for them. There are many types of special attacks, from temporary boosts in stats, to strikes dealing extra damage. [[File:SpecialAttackRegen.png|left|The messages given when a player has regained 50% and 100% special attack energy respectively.]]They are activated by the player by clicking on the special attack bar under the [[Combat Options]] interface. Special attacks have an energy bar that is drained when you use the attack; this is drained of varying amounts according to which weapon is used. The special energy bar regenerates at rate of 10% every 30 seconds, requiring 5 minutes to regenerate from empty to full. The bar will not regenerate while the player is logged out, nor will it regenerate while a player is in their bank window. The energy bar is related to the player, not to the weapon; in other words, changing weapons won't change your energy bar. At the moment, special attacks are only available for members' weapons and therefore only members can use them.

<NOTE: Future updates will move individual weapon specials, to player specials based on level; [[Combat beta]].>

A [[Ring of Vigour]] can be bought from the [[Dungeoneering]] skill for 50,000 tokens, and will reduce all special attacks by 1/10th of the total cost of that special attack when worn. So for example, a [[Dragon scimitar|Dragon scimitar's]] special attack normally uses up 55% will, when the [[Ring of Vigour]] is worn, use up only 50%. Note: To wear the ring, you must have level 62 Attack and Dungeoneering.

With level 86 [[Prayer]], [[members]] who have access to the [[Zarosian]] [[Ancient Curses]] can use the [[Leech Special Attack]] to boost their own special attack energy while draining their opponent's, up to 10%.

[[Recover special]] potions restore 25% of the special attack bar percentage. This potion can only be drunk once every 30 seconds. They may not be used in the [[Wilderness]].

It is possible to block special attacks received from other players by using the spell [[Disruption Shield]] on the [[Lunar Spellbook]] just like normal attacks, even those that is composed of multiple hits. This can be seen clearer on the [[Dragon claws]] special attack, when all of the 4 strikes are nullified.

Jagex will remove the current special attack system with the Evolution of Combat update, and will be replaced with abilities.

==Melee weapons==

====[[Dragon longsword]]====

[[File:Dragon longsword.png|Dragon longsword.png]]

*Extra: Requires the completion of [[Lost City]] to equip.

====[[Dragon mace]]====

[[File:Dragon mace.png]]
'''Shatter.''' 25% drain.

*Extra: Requires the completion of [[Heroes' Quest]] to equip.

====[[Dragon battleaxe]]====
[[File:Dragon battleaxe.png]]
'''Rampage.''' 100% drain.
*Temporary boosts:
:Strength +20% of original level
:Attack -10% of original level
:Defence -10% of original level
:Ranged -10% of original level
:Magic -10% of original level
:'''''Extras:'''''
*Often used in conjunction with restore potions to make up for loss of attack and defence levels. Requires the completion of [[Heroes' Quest]] to equip.
*The formula used is <math>Boost=10+\lfloor 0.25\times (\lfloor 0.1\times magic\rfloor +\lfloor 0.1\times range\rfloor +\lfloor 0.1\times defence\rfloor +\lfloor 0.1\times attack\rfloor )\rfloor</math>; note that the boost depends on the ''current ''levels of the other combat skills (boosting/draining other combat skills affects the boost).
*The player shouts out "Raarrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!" when the special attack is performed

====[[Dragon halberd]]====

<option>[[File:Powerstab.gif|frame|right|The [[dragon 2h sword]]'s '''Powerstab''' special attack.]]</option>
</choose>
'''Sweep.''' 30% drain.
*A wide slash with increased strength that strikes multiple enemies if they are lined up correctly (in a multi-combat zone) and will hit larger monsters twice. Can do well over 400 damage with each swipe.
*Extra: Requires the completion of [[Regicide]] to equip.

====[[Dragon spear]]====
[[File:Dragon spear.png]]
'''Shove.''' 25% drain.
*When this special is used, the target is pushed back one square and stunned for three seconds. This attack does not inflict damage. Does not work on enemies that take up more than one space.
*Extra: Most commonly used in [[minigames]], such as [[Castle Wars]], where it is used to push and trap people under rocks, killing them instantly.

====[[Dragon hatchet]]====
[[File:Dragon hatchet.png]]
'''Clobber.''' 100% drain.
*Lowers the target's Defence and Magic by 10% of damage dealt. (Comparable to the [[Seercull]] bow.)

====[[Dragon 2h sword]]====
[[File:Dragon 2h sword.png]]
'''Powerstab.''' 60% drain.
*In a multi-combat area, all targets within 1 square of the player will take damage. No more than 14 enemies can be hit at a time with this attack. No advantages are offered by using this attack in a single-combat area.

====[[Dragon claws]]====
[[File:Dragon claws.png]]
'''Slice and Dice.''' 50% drain.
*Four very quick attacks performed at once with increased accuracy, but the last three hits depend entirely on the first hit. The second hit will always be half of the first hit, and the 3rd and 4th hits will always add up to the 2nd hit. For example, 200-100-50-50 or 180-90-50-40 or 120-60-30-30. Effectively, whatever you hit in the first strike, you will get double that hit after all 4 hits are dealt (200 + 100 + 50 + 50 = 400). There is also the chance that you hit a 0, as your first hit. This does not mean that you'll hit 0's as your first 4 hits (special attack). For example, you could hit 0-200-100-100, or 0-0-200-200 or even 0-0-0-350 (in this case damage is 1.5 times the original hit). Effectively, if one of the four special hits inflicts damage, the dragon claws guarantee damage of at least 1.5 times the original hit.

===Others===
====[[Abyssal whip]]====
[[File:Abyssal Whip.png|left]]
[[File:Abyssal whip special.gif|frame|right|The [[abyssal whip]]'s '''Energy Drain''' special attack.]]

'''Energy Drain.''' 50% drain.
*An attack that transfers 25% of the target's run [[energy]] to the player (only works on other players).
*The old special attack of a whip would transfer 10% of the target's run [[energy]] to the player (only works on other players).

====[[Abyssal vine whip]]====
[[File:Abyssal vine whip.png]]
'''Vine Call:''' 60% drain.
*This attack summons a vine that will hit your opponent 10 times for 125% of your accuracy, and 33% of your strength. The attacks will only hit as long as your opponent is in range.

====[[Barrelchest anchor]]====
[[File:Barrelchest anchor.png]]
'''Sunder:''' 50% drain.
*Deals 10% more damage, doubles the chance of hitting, and will lower the opponent's [[Attack]], [[Defence]], [[Ranged]], or [[Magic]] level by 1% of the damage inflicted.

====[[Brackish blade]]====
[[File:Brackish blade.png]]''''Rum'ify. '''75% drain.
*Doubles the chance of hitting, and adds 2.5% of the damage dealt to your Strength, Attack and Defence. For example if you hit 200, this means your Strength, Attack and Defence all get a visible 5 level boost.

====[[Granite maul]]====
[[File:Granite maul.png|left]]
[[File:Quicksmash.gif|frame|right|The [[granite maul]]'s '''Quick Smash''' special attack.]]

'''Quick Smash''' 50% drain
*An extra attack done instantly with no other effects.
*Because of the speed of the granite maul, the special is very beneficial, allowing 3 strikes very quickly where it would normally take a long time.
*The Granite Maul is also commonly used in combination with another slow weapon, like the [[dark bow]] or the [[dragon 2h sword]], in a "combo breaker". In a combo breaker, a user uses the slow weapon, switches to the granite maul, and then uses all of the granite maul's special attack bar to add two additional hits to the already high hitting weapon. The granite maul, if under perfect conditions, can do over 450 damage with each hit.

====[[Granite mace]]====
[[File:Granite mace.png|left]]

'''Quick Smash''' 50% drain
*An extra attack done instantly with no other effects.
*If timed correctly, you can use one normal attack, two specials, then another normal attack. This is only possible because the special attack does not affect when the next normal attack will land. This is impossible with the Granite Maul because the special on the Maul delays the normal attack after a special.
*If used as a first strike you will see this warning, "Warning: Since the mace's special is an instant attack, it will be wasted when used on a first strike."

====[[Excalibur]]====

It has an enhanced special attack that, in addition to an increased Defence boost (15% boost), heals the player 40 life points every 2 seconds up to 5 times for a total of 200 life points.

It is also capable of keeping the [[Pest queen]] from using her own special attack, but it must be deployed while she charges. During the fight with the Pest queen, the special attack only uses 15% of the player's special attack energy, but outside of it, it instead requires 60%.

====[[Dwarven army axe]]====

==[[Barrows]]==
{{main|Barrows equipment}}
Each set of Barrows armour comes with a special effect, which can only activate if the player has equipped the complete set; all three items of armour and the weapon. The set effect does not use or drain the special attack bar and cannot be voluntarily invoked. Instead, it activates at random during combat, with the exception of Dharok's effect, which is activated at all times.
