Notes: The abyssal whip\\\\\\\'s speed is comparable to the fastest melee weapons in Runescape. It has a high strength bonus, which, combined with its speed and special attack, makes it a highly accurate and deadly weapon. If you wish to train Strength with this weapon however, you must use the Controlled attack style (only receiving 1/3 of the exp in strength). As an additional bonus, when successfully using the special attack, 25% of your opponent\\\\\\\'s run energy will be transferred to you (this special uses 50% of your special attack bar).
