The Thermonuclear smoke devil only attacks with a typeless magical range attack, which means that protection prayers will not work against it. This attack has a max hit of 8, an attack speed of 2 ticks, and is very accurate.
Players must equip a gas mask, face mask, or slayer helmet, or they will be damaged by the smoke where the Thermonuclear smoke devil is located. Similar to other smoke and dust devils, players will take additional damage if fighting the boss without any of those masks.
You don't need protection prayers for any of these strategies below as his attacks can be easily tanked. However, using piety or redemption prayers is recommended.
A player’s attack speed is slower than that of the Thermonuclear smoke devil as It can perform 2 to 2.5 attacks for every attack the player performs. Players can hide from it’s attacks by walking under him after every attack they do. With this method, the thermonuclear smoke devil can only perform 1 attack for every attack it receives. It’s advisable to use the menu entry swapper to enable “shift click walk here” so you can hold shift and click under him after every attack you do.
Since the thermonuclear smoke devil is close to a fairy ring, players can use up their special attacks on it, finish it off with their regular attacks, and then teleport to their POH to restore their special attack and repeat. Since the fight would end quickly and your stats would be restored at a POH, you should use the best strength-boosting gear. A powerful special attack weapon like the Dragon claws is also recommended. This method is slower and you should expect between 45-55 kills per hour.
Magic spells have a longer attack range than the attacks from the Thermonuclear smoke devil. Players can exploit this and attack from a tile where he is unable to attack back. In the image above, the tiles are safe from its attacks, but you can still cast magic spells on it. However, it can attack after you do a few attacks so you need to step back a tile each time he does, starting from tile 1.
The average Thermonuclear smoke devil kill is worth 26K GP or 29K while on a Konar task. With the recommended stats and gear above, experienced players can kill the Thermonuclear smoke devil 80 times in one hour. This results in a profit of 1.6M GP per hour after the cost of supplies has been deducted.
