The arrival of Leagues 6 has introduced one of the most meta-defining Slayer relics we’ve ever seen: Culling Spree. This Tier 6 powerhouse fundamentally changes how Slayer—and more importantly, gear optimization—works in Old School RuneScape Leagues.

For the first time in League history, you are no longer forced to wear a Slayer Helmet to benefit from its damage bonus. That single mechanic shift opens the door to previously impossible high-DPS combinations, pushing Slayer efficiency and bossing potential to entirely new levels.

If you're building around Slayer—or even considering it—this relic is effectively handing you over 1,750 easy League points alongside some of the strongest PvM setups ever available.

What Is the Culling Spree Relic?

Culling Spree is the Tier 6 Slayer Relic in Leagues 6, designed to dramatically accelerate Slayer progression while amplifying bossing efficiency.

Core Mechanics:

· Choose between 3 Slayer task options (one guaranteed boss task if eligible)

· Set task size freely (5 to 200 kills)

· 50% chance for superior creatures to respawn another superior

· Superior creatures always drop 1–3 elite clue scrolls

· Gain full imbued Slayer Helmet bonuses without wearing it

· All Slayer unlocks are free (Rune pouch, Herb sack, Looting bag, etc.)

This is not just a quality-of-life relic—it’s a full mechanical overhaul of Slayer efficiency.

Should You Pick Culling Spree?

You should strongly consider this relic if:

· You plan to heavily train Slayer

· You want maximum PvM DPS optimization

· You’re targeting boss-heavy gameplay

· You want access to top-tier gear combinations

· You’re selecting regions like Kourend or Wilderness

Because Leagues' choices are permanent, this relic effectively locks in a Slayer-centric build identity—but rewards you with unmatched efficiency if you commit.

Why Culling Spree Is So Powerful

1. Slayer Helmet Bonus Without the Helmet

This is the defining feature.

Previously, the Slayer Helmet occupied your head slot, preventing synergy with full armor sets. Now, that restriction is gone. You retain the ~16.67% damage and accuracy bonus while wearing any gear setup.

This enables combinations like:

· Void + Slayer bonus (historically impossible)

· Full Inquisitor’s set

· Dharok’s set (especially strong with Gloves of the Damned)

· Full Crystal armour

· Moons gear sets

The result? Some of the highest DPS builds ever seen in Leagues.

2. Massive Free League Points (1,750+)

Culling Spree practically completes a large portion of Slayer-related tasks automatically.

Key Tasks You’ll Complete:

· Superior Slayer encounters (25 → 100)

· Elite clue completions (25 → 75)

· Slayer milestones (99 + 50M XP)

· Key item unlocks (Imbued Heart, Eternal Slayer Ring)

Total: ~1,750 League Points

And that doesn’t include:

· Region-specific Slayer boss tasks

· Collection log completions

· Passive clue rewards

This is one of the most efficient point-generating relics available.

3. Infinite Elite Clue Potential

Superior creatures dropping guaranteed elite clues changes clue farming entirely.

· No RNG grind for clue tiers

· Consistent high-value rewards

· Strong synergy with clue-focused relic paths

Even if you don’t pick a clue relic, Culling Spree can effectively replace it.

4. Task Manipulation = Unlimited Flexibility

The ability to set tasks as low as 5 kills is deceptively powerful:

· Skip undesirable tasks instantly

· Farm specific monsters efficiently

· Rush boss tasks repeatedly

This eliminates one of Slayer’s biggest historical bottlenecks: task RNG.

Best Regions for Culling Spree

While viable everywhere, some regions significantly amplify its value:

S-Tier Regions

Wilderness

· Dense Slayer monster population

· Access to Larran’s Keys → high resource and GP generation

· Excellent for fast progression and supply stacking

Kourend

· Massive Slayer dungeon variety

· Brimstone Keys → consistent resource income

· Strong synergy with sustained Slayer grinding

A-Tier

Asgarnia

· Access to Void set → unlocks top-tier DPS synergy

· Multiple Slayer-assignable bosses

B-Tier

Tirannwn

· Crystal armour synergy potential

· Strong if crystal bonuses are enhanced

C-Tier

Kandarin

· Limited Slayer scope

· Still viable for specific boss unlocks

The Downsides of Culling Spree

Despite its power, the relic has one major issue: timing.

1. Tier 6 Unlock Delay

Historically, Slayer relics appeared at Tier 5. Moving it to Tier 6 means:

· You’ve likely already completed early Slayer progression

· Reduced overall efficiency gains compared to earlier availability

2. Competition at Tier 6

Tier 6 relics are typically extremely powerful, meaning:

· You may face tough trade-offs

· A competing relic (like a clue-focused one) could reduce its relative value

3. Existing Slayer Buffs in Earlier Tiers

Leagues already provides:

· 5x Slayer points

· Increased superior spawn rate (1/50)

These baseline buffs reduce how impactful Culling Spree feels compared to prior years.

Bottom Line

If your Leagues strategy involves:

· Slayer grinding

· Boss farming

· High-efficiency PvM

· Maximizing point gain

Then Culling Spree is a top-tier pick that can carry your entire account progression. If you’re unsure about your early-game path, it’s worth evaluating how this relic fits into your overall build—because once you choose, there’s no going back.
