Sol Heredit (Colosseum)

Combat level 1563 · 1500 hitpoints

The final wave of the Fortis Colosseum. A pure mechanical duel: no minions, no adds, just spear/shield/grapple patterns you must read correctly. Drops the Dizana's quiver (via the Colosseum) and the Sunfire fanatic armour comes from earlier waves.

Requirements

• Fortis Colosseum (Varlamore)
• 90+ melee stats
• 77 Prayer
• Wave 12 of the Colosseum

Pointers

• SPEAR ATTACK: he telegraphs which of three spears he uses. Pray the matching protection prayer. Wrong prayer means heavy damage.
• SHIELD BASH: he raises his shield and charges. You must move BEHIND him or take massive damage.
• GRAPPLE: he grabs you and drains prayer. Break out by moving in the indicated direction.
• The arena shrinks over the fight. Space management is a real constraint late.
• He is weak to melee and the fight is designed as a melee duel; ranged and magic have no mechanical support here.
• Sunfire fanatic armour (from earlier waves) gives a damage bonus specifically in the Colosseum.

What the sim brings here

Every worn slot and every inventory row below is the combat simulation's own output, at the style it ranks fastest for each account tier. Each line carries the channel that chose it: sim means the model solved it, and inherited means the value came through from the hand-authored loadout the solver starts from. Riding through a generator does not make a value derived, so those are marked rather than presented as the model's answer. A line marked unattributed carries a channel the model's own vocabulary no longer declares, so no word is put on it at all rather than one being read off the channel's spelling. Where the model has not answered a row, its own refusal is printed instead; where it has answered a row it doubts, the answer is printed with the doubt attached rather than withheld.

The model declines to name a best style at this encounter: no single style this encounter admits meets its requirement (different parts of the encounter answer to different styles, so no one style covers the whole thing; a style is needed to REACH something rather than to out-damage it. The requirement is about where you can stand, not about dps, and a dps ranking is structurally unable to see it (see POSITIONING.verdictCannotSeeDamageTaken); Fortis Colosseum/Strategies#Equipment), so there is no single best style to open on. Every style it has either an answer or a stated reason for is listed below, rather than one being chosen for it.

What each of those badges means

• derived:ascent (sim): an accepted coordinate-ascent move: betterThan() preferred this candidate over the incumbent under the row objective and band. The weapon+ammo+shield pairing and the crystal set arrive here too, because both are offered to the same acceptance test.
• derived:composed (sim): balanceInventory() sized this row from the derived supply menu. The menu enumerates CONSUMABLES and narrows by style, tier and price; it is not the authored bag.
• derived:empty (sim): the finished loadout leaves this slot EMPTY, and that is an ANSWER rather than a gap: a two-handed weapon forfeits the shield and a weapon that stores its own ammunition frees the ammo slot. Recorded so a null slot is never read as unprovenanced.
• derived:obtainable (sim): canonicaliseObtainable(): the finished loadout named a variant the model cannot state a route to, and this pass swapped it for the obtainable equal.
• derived:seedWeapon (sim): the weapon the ascent BEGAN from, taken off the dps-ranked weapon shortlist, or the forced weapon of a multi-start seed. Never off a start loadout.
• derived:spec (sim): a carried special-attack weapon PROPOSED by `specPlan` (specchoice.js), which prices every SPEC_ATTACKS weapon that deals damage or drains defence on top of the bag solved without one, and KEPT by `judgeSpecArms` only where the composed bag with it beats the bag without it under `compareScores`. The row's `kpt.specWeapon` carries both arms.
• derived:switch (sim): a carried gear switch, named by `build.switches`, composed by `resolver.hybridSwitches` out of the OTHER styles SOLVED gear (solvedgear.js), at the same tier as the row. This is the derived replacement for `inherited:switch`; the two differ only in which source answered, and the resolver states that per switch rather than letting the consumer infer it.
