Mechanics
Attack Rotations
Mushroom gas → 2 Autos → Cleave → 2 Autos → Frenzy → 2 Autos → Minion Spawn → 2 Autos → Repeat
Mushroom Gas
⬥ Avoided by just running out of it. Stand near the edges of mushrooms to decrease the distance needed to move out of the gas. Standing in the gas will give you a 250 damage bleed every tick, and if standing in the gas for a prolonged time will bind you. Example
Cleave
⬥ Hits in a frontal cone for up to 3k and apply a bleed. Do not freedom this bleed. If you are standing a distance away from Helwyr, he will first lunge towards you before the attack. There are a few methods to handle this attack. Example• 
or 
: move out of the damage cone.• Can also be done with 
but is DPS waste.• Resonance 
(You will still acquire the bleed)• 
/ 
Frenzy
⬥ Helwyr’s leaps around doing rapid melee damage while applying a bleed stack with each attack. While using Ranged or Magic, you can just run away, but with Melee it is better to stay put and continue doing damage. Example• You can pray melee 
and Devotion 
or Debilitate 
.• Freedom 
the bleed after the attack.
Minion Spawn
⬥ Helwyr’s minion spawn attack has him howl and summon two 3k HP Cywir Alphas. Easily taken out with AoEs. Example
Overview
This method can achieve ~75-77 kills per hour with average kill times of ~22.8s
⬥ Refer to the linked video to see how the BDs and Surges between kills look like - https://youtu.be/12qTzSHLTTs⬥ If you get shroomed, ideally walk under Helwyr until you are out of the mushroom radius⬥ If your HP gets really low then utilise Disrupt ⬥ To make looting more efficient, you can bind the open area loot interface in control settings, and then just hit that bind and the loot bind as soon as Helwyr dies

⬥ Refer to the linked video to see how the BDs and Surges between kills look like - https://youtu.be/12qTzSHLTTs
⬥ If you walk Helwyr any more than stated in the above rotation, then your Combust will not be walked
⬥ The Blood Barrage autocast change is solely for reducing cost/hr, feel free to ignore it if is not of concern
⬥ To make looting more efficient, you can bind the open area loot interface in control settings, and then just hit that bind and the loot bind as soon as Helwyr dies
⬥ If you wish to use Vulnerability Bombs , throw it after Sunshine
• Replace the Vuln in the rotation to Smoke Cloud 
to compensate
⬥ Ideally Vengeance the Cleave through Deflect Melee
• The rotation does not assume it so it should not matter outside improving consistency

Preset Suggestions
Preset Notes
⬥ Make sure your is filled with (and auto-casting them, if desired).

for Spiritual Prayers 
, but extra ripper specs do not aid much as you are already gated by Sunshine's cooldown in this guide, likewise with using a Scrimshaw over Zamorak Book 
.

Other Notes
⬥ If you end a kill at <100 adrenaline, teleport out and use Adrenaline Crystal to build.
• If you end at 91-99 adren, use an ability on a wolf instead if they spawned.
⬥ If you are consistently ending <100 adrenaline, replace some better abilities for Wrack 
⬥ If you wish to use Vulnerability Bombs , throw it after Sunshine
