The profit rate assumes 45 kills per hour with full reputation drop rate boost. If you feel you can get more, then you may change the Kills per Hour in the box above.

Helwyr's bites and claws at the player. It does not add any bleed stacks.

Suggested actions:

• Pray Protect from Melee/Deflect Melee/Soul Split

Helwyr sends three balls of energy around the room, causing three mushrooms to grow in size and emit poison gas in a 5x5 AoE.

• Getting caught in the gas will deal up to 250 hard typeless damage every tick, and reduce the player to walking speed if their run is on.
• If the player is in a gas cloud for more than 4.2 seconds then they will also be bound for 2.4 seconds.

Message: Nature, lend me your aid!

Suggested actions:

• Run or walk away from the gas clouds or use Surge
• If you are caught and bound in the gas cloud use Freedom to break free.

Helwyr stands upright and cleaves the area in front of him in a cone radius.

• Players caught in the clawed area will be hit for up to 3,000 damage and be inflicted with one bleed stack.
• The bleed starts off at a base of 50 soft typeless damage every 2 ticks, and the more bleeds a player takes, another 50 is added, up to a cap of 250.
• Bleeds last for 27 seconds, but will be prolonged if the player is inflicted with another bleed before the first expires.

Message: YOU. WILL. BLEED!

Suggested actions:

• Pray Protect from Melee/Deflect Melee
• This can be easily avoided by running far enough from him in any direction out of the frontal radius, especially underneath him or to either side.
• Alternatively, you may equip a shield and use Resonance to heal off the damage. If done correctly, you will receive 1000-4000 lifepoints in healing or, if done incorrectly, in damage.

It is recommended that you keybind your shield, Resonance and your primary weapon. This will allow you to quickly switch and cast Resonance as well as letting you return to attacking with much more consistency. Once you become comfortable with this, you can also disable your Deflect Melee curse to increase the healing received. This is the primary mechanic that you will need to practice and learn for efficient kills.

Helwyr leaps over to a nearby player and begins a frenzy of clawing attacks. He will always place himself north of the targeted player; if this is not possible, then he tries to get a close as possible. This will deal rapid melee damage of up to 1,800 every two ticks and each hit will add a bleed stack, up to five bleed stacks in total. The bleed deals 50 soft typeless damage per stack, up to a cap of 250, every 2 ticks for 27 seconds.

Message: You cannot escape me. Aaaargh!

Suggested actions:

• Pray Protect from Melee/Deflect Melee. Deflect Melee must always be active when this mechanic is in progress as the damage sustained will be often enough to kill a player.
• The attack has a range of 2 squares from him. Devotion can block all the melee attacks, but Debilitate is a good alternative when it is on cooldown if not planning to run away from him.
• Alternatively, just as Helwyr moves north, immediately use Surge, Escape or Dive to avoid this attack. This will prevent him from applying any frenzy damage and bleeds.
• Use Barge or Greater Barge back as soon as possible to prevent Helwyr from moving towards the player, which causes an auto-attack to be skipped and summon the wolves earlier than usual.
• At the end of this attack the player should use Freedom as the bleed applied by the previous rake & rend attack will have accumulated up to 250 damage (up to 400 if Berserk is active). If the player has had to use freedom to escape an aid of nature attack then it should still be used as soon as possible and damage should be minimised until the player reaches a healthy lifepoint total.

Helwyr howls, summoning two cywir alphas.

• They only have 3,000 life points and deal little damage but should still be killed to prevent them from sniping Resonance heals from Helwyr's bleed attack.
• Furthermore, should the cywir alphas remain alive when Helwyr uses the aid of nature attack, he will instead spawn six balls of energy instead of three.
• The alphas don't die off immediately as soon as he's killed, rather persisting for around 3 seconds before doing so. Some adrenaline may be gained off them in preparation for the next kill.

Suggested actions:

• An efficient way to kill them is to use area-of-effect abilities that can damage both Helwyr and the Alphas simultaneously.
• Wait until they are both beside you and then use Hurricane , Death_Skulls or Quake.
