Abyssal whip

The abyssal whip is the second-most powerful one-handed melee weapon which requires 70 Attack to equip. It should be noted that the Dragon battleaxe has a higher strength bonus, despite this however, the whip is capable of attacking at the same speed as that of daggers and scimitars at 2.4 seconds per hit, which make it overall the better weapon. It may only be obtained as a drop from Abyssal demon , monsters which require 85 Slayer to harm, or by trading with another player. Its bonuses are +82 slash bonus and +82 strength. It has 3 attack styles: flick, slash, and deflect. The abyssal whip posseses a unique special attack that consumes 50% of the special attack bar and will result in either a maximum hit or a miss.
Many players make use of the whip's fast attack speed, high offensive bonuses, and moderate cost to train Attack and Defence effectively. Because the whip lacks an aggressive attack style, it is not possible to train Strength using the whip unless fighting in the controlled mode. However, this will equally distribute experience among Attack, Strength, and Defence, decreasing the speed in which each individual skill is levelled. It's usually replaced with the dragon scimitar by players who wish to train Strength.
The Abyssal Whip's speed:
==Special Attack==
Name: Energy Drain Special Attack Energy: 50%
This attack is more accurate, and if it's successful, 25% of your opponent's energy will be transferred to your character. However, this attack will not work on NPCs or monsters since these characters do not have run energy.

For a short time in the year 2006 the abyssal whip had a different attack animation. This animation was very controversial and many players did not like it, so Jagex reverted back to the old one. This animation so far will be in 2006Scape as it is in the Pk Video released on the 2006Scape Youtube page. There may be a vote in the future to change this.
