Smoke Devils attack with ranged and have a max hit of 20. Protect from ranged will provide complete protection against its attacks. Before bursting them, you need to lure them so they stack, and you can deal damage to multiple ones at once.
The best method to lure them is with a cannon. First, pray against ranged or missiles, set your cannon on the spot below, and wait till the cannon makes them aggressive to you. When they get hit by the cannonballs and start attacking you, run south to lure the Smoke Devils in the north, and they will stack close to the cannon. Continue to run north then south until enough of them stack, then start bursting them.
This method is more popular and also quite effective. First, pray protect from missiles. If you're using RuneLite, set up your cannon at the marked location and fire it. When the Smoke Devils get hit and become aggressive to you, stand on any of the marked tiles below, near the bone on the floor. Standing on the northern tile will lure the southern Smoke Devils, while standing on the eastern tile will attract those from the west, and so on.
Players can get 70,000 to 120,000 slayer XP per hour.
The average Smoke devil kill is worth 3.9K or 5.4K when on a Konar task.
