Rondosh is an item topic that Gnomonkey covers in 1 video on 2026-07-07. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Contents

Methods

  • The Rondosh's flat armor does not work against magic on purpose, as Jagex does not want it to be good against bosses that use magic; it can be used at the same time as a Granite maul spec.1

Stats and numbers

  • The Rondosh is a proposed Raids 4 shield that gives you a charge attack when you block enough damage thanks to flat armor.2
  • The Rondosh charge buff rolls plus 6 accuracy per stack up to 20 stacks, for plus 120 crush accuracy on top of armor and jewelry bonuses, but it does not work with your weapon's accuracy.3

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey would not hate the option of lowering the Rondosh's strength bonus and increasing shield bash damage, since it focuses on chip damage mitigation, which he finds interesting.4
  • Gnomonkey dislikes the idea of attaching the Rondosh to the Avernic defender, calling it arbitrary that a new raid would suddenly require every account to have two Avernic defenders, and expects pushback for saying so.5
  • Gnomonkey prefers the option of lowering the Rondosh's strength bonus, so players might bring the Avernic defender and the Rondosh to different raid rooms and the Avernic would not lose as much value.6

Events

  • Jagex said it may split the special attack orb so a spec weapon and the Rondosh charge each get a separate orb; Gnomonkey thinks splitting would be better but it depends on how hard it is to add.1
  • Players argued the Rondosh's offensive stat line was stepping too close to the Avernic defender, devaluing the Theatre of Blood reward offering, particularly with the Breaker absorbing all of the Scythe's crush use cases.4
  • Jagex's proposed options were to lower the Rondosh's strength bonus and raise shield bash damage, or to remove all its strength bonus and attach it to the Avernic defender (for example via Avernic studs) to bring the strength bonus back to plus 8.4
