The Dragon Scimitar's special attack has been changed. Unfortunately, the original special attack wasn't working properly and it was impossible to rectify the problem.
Instead we have changed the attack so that it now uses slightly more special attack energy, 55% to be exact, and prevents your opponent from using protection prayers for 5 seconds.
Please note that the Kalphite Queen is immune to the special attack, and that it does not affect the Protect Item prayer.
