Bloodveld’s attack

Bloodvelds are weak to all attack styles and attack with magic-based melee; a melee attack with accuracy determined by the player’s magic defence. They have a max hit of only 5, but are accurate. Magic defence armour like dragonhide should be used to reduce damage. However, using protect from melee completely nullifies the damage.

Strategy for Bloodvelds

The general strategy for killing Bloodvelds is to pray protect from melee and attack them while wearing the recommended gear above. 

Strategy for Barraging Bloodvelds in Catacombs of Kourend

A unique method for players to get high slayer and magic experience is by ice bursting/ barraging Bloodvelds in the Catacombs of Kourend. The method requires 2 accounts; the main account and an alt. First, use the main account to attack all Bloodvelds in the location below to get them aggressive toward you. When they are all aggressive to you, stand in tile 1. Starting from tile 2, use the alt account to move to tile 3, and 4 and repeat continuously. Continue the movement until the Bloodvelds stack together then start Ice barraging/bursting them with your main account.
