Special attacks

Special Attacks
Special attacks are attacks available on certain weapons and will enable a player on RS2006 to perform a special type of attack on the enemy.

Not every weapon has the option to perform a special attack, only a small number of items do, the more popular ones are the Abyssal Whip (right), the Dragon Dagger, p, p+, p++, p+++, Dragon battleaxe, Dragon longsword, Dragon scimitar (temporarily disables opponents protection prayers) or the Dragon mace (hits considerable high).

Most special attacks will give you an advantage in a PvP or PvE as they can hit exeptionally higher/faster/more than a standard weapon attack.

Energy-Draining Special
The special attack famous for it's effective energy draining special attack, is most effective in PvP as it has no effect on NPCs whatsoever. For example if you are in high wilderness fighting against an opponent, and the enemy decides to run, your whip special attack will drain the run energy of the enemy, bringing him to a quicker stop so you may resume the killing.
