Mushroom Gas
⬥ Deals 250 damage per tick; binds you if you stand in too long. (Example)
Cleave
⬥ Jumps to you and hits in a frontal cone for up to 3k. (Example)
Frenzy
⬥ Deals rapid melee hits, each applying a bleed stack. (Example)     • When Helwyr finishes, use Freedom freedom to clear the bleed entirely.
Minion Spawn
⬥ Summons two 3k HP Cywir Alphas. Easily taken out with AoEs. (Example)

The Fight

1) Drink an Extreme Magic Potion (or better) before going in, with prayers on.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a) Pray Protect from Melee protectfrommelee and Augury augury

2) Spam Target Cycle + Vuln + sonicwave (or dbreath) while going into spot displayed in image below.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a) The spot is 1 tile southwest of the middle mushshroom.

3) Cast Sunshine sunshine after you have targeted Helwyr Helwyr, then follow the general approach to rotations outlined below.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a) If Helwyr mushroom gases your sunshine area at the start, teleport out and restart.

Note: when trying to time Target Cycle, it is important to run while you spam it, otherwise you cannot spam Target Cycle. If you Target Cycle properly, Helwyr's HP box will not show.

Rotations

⬥ While in sunshine aim to do 1 wm, 1 asphyx, and 1 gstaff spec

⬥ Use Resonance res to heal when Helwyr cleaves (ideally without Protect from Melee protectfrommelee on).

⬥ Use Devotion devo or Debilitate debil when Helwyr does his frenzy.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Alternatively, run away if devo is on cooldown.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Use Freedom freedom after the frenzy.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• You can only Devotion devo every other frenzy.

⬥ Use gstaff spec whenever possible (costs ~23 adrenaline with rov).

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Ensure you still have adrenaline for devo etc. when you need it (needs >50% adrenaline).

⬥ Avoid moving Helwyr unless absolutely necessary as he skips autos when he moves.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Only scenarios you should move Helwyr are:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ Walking comb

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ To avoid the frenzy when devo is on cooldown

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ To avoid the mushroom

⬥ Optionally, whenever you cast devo / freedom, you may try to weave in an AirSurge or Vuln with it.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Be aware, this will not work after gconc / conc / asphyx

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• If using 2H, input AirSurge / Vuln at the same time as your next ability.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• If using DW, input AirSurge / Vuln at the same time as devo / freedom
