Stats and numbers

  • The Antler guard is a tribrid shield dropped in the new Final Dawn slayer dungeon, with five melee strength, two ranged strength and massive negative defence.1

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says the Antler guard is not best in slot anywhere but could be useful on ironmen, who find ranged strength offhands hard to get, for example with a Warhammer or a ring crossbow at Zebak where defence does not matter.2
  • Gnomonkey thought the Antler guard was fine as it was and expected to use it as a ranged off-hand for bosses like Zebak and while progressing on his hardcore account.3

Events

  • Jagex said it deliberately designed the Antler guard to sit below the Dragon defender, to keep players going until they get the Dragon defender.4
  • Jagex said the Antler guard is intended to be particularly useful for players using the RCB (rune crossbow) or the Hunter crossbow, or those using a proselyte set on a Slayer task.4
  • Jagex is reducing the Antler guard's negative defence values.3
