Stats and numbers
- According to Gnomonkey's calculations, the Shadow is about 4% better than the Harmonised staff at Kraken, only 1% better on Zulrah's green phase but 22% better on crimson (red) phase due to accuracy.1
- The Harmonised staff still has use at Scorpia and Ice Demon because you cannot bring the full switch needed to make the Shadow powerful.1
- At Thermonuclear smoke devil, the Harmonised staff was roughly equal to Scythe but the Shadow would be about 6% better than Scythe; at Abyssal Sire it would be about equal to Scythe once one hammer has landed, making magic viable.1
- At Kalphite Queen phase 2 the Shadow beats a blowpipe with no hammers and may be the best option anyway because you can walk under the KQ with it; at Dagannoth Rex it beats the Harmonised staff by 2% and Sanguinesti by 13%.2
- Gnomonkey calculates the Shadow would be best at every God Wars Dungeon boss: it beats Twisted bow by 8% on task or 16% off task at Zamorak, Chinchompas by 5% on task or 4.5% off task at Armadyl (though the lost-defence set is painful), Bow of Faerdhinen by 29% at Bandos even with two hammers landed, and Twisted bow by 5% at Saradomin.2
- In Theatre of Blood the Shadow's only use is Sotetseg with no hammers landed where it beats Scythe, so Gnomonkey doubts it would be taken in.3
- In Chambers (assuming Challenge Mode and overloaded), the Shadow beats Sanguinesti by 34% on melee Vanguard, Twisted bow by 24% on Vespula's portal, Twisted bow by 21% on Mystics (thanks to the Salve triple bonus), blowpipe by 3% on baby Muttadile, and Sanguinesti by 28% on Olm's magic hand.3
- Against a fully drained Corporeal Beast the Shadow beats Zamorakian spear and max melee by about 3%, since magic still does full damage against Corp; it would be amazing for solo Corp with an alt; against Giant Mole it beats Twisted bow by half a percent.4
- On Slayer monsters the Shadow is 20% better than a Lance or DHCB against Skeletal Wyverns (named 'Skeletal Vibrance' in the transcript) and slightly beats an uncharged Scythe on Gargoyles; Gnomonkey calls neither exceptional.4
