OSRS Grid Master Combat Masteries Guide | Best & All Tiers
Trying to figure out which Combat Masteries are worth pushing early in Grid Master? This system gives shared boosts to Melee, Ranged, and Magic, stacking across six powerful tiers that make every fight easier and faster.
How to unlock Combat Masteries
Combat Masteries unlock as you complete specific grid tasks scattered across the board. Each one upgrades all combat styles at once, instead of forcing a single-style choice like older Leagues.

Best Combat Masteries to focus on
Some tiers are way stronger than others depending on your relic setup and playstyle.
Early tiers (1-3)
These are your foundation. The Tier 1 ammo and rune save alone makes early leveling smooth. Tier 2’s healing boost keeps you alive in boss tasks without constant food runs. Tier 3’s accuracy spike is the first real game-changer and should be a main goal right away.
Mid tiers (4-5)
Tier 4’s defense and self-heal passives start turning melee builds into tanks. Tier 5 pairs perfectly with Golden God since the extra Prayer regeneration lets you chain protect prayers nonstop while alching. If you like AFK PvM, this is where the mode starts to feel broken.
Late tier (6)
Tier 6 is the absolute goal. Ranged never missing and Magic scaling off enemy HP makes high-HP bosses trivial. Melee echo chains at this stage melt nearly anything, especially with Combatant relic boosts stacked on top.
Final Blurb
Combat Masteries turn ordinary combat into chaos once they’re maxed out. Prioritize the tasks that unlock rows and columns early, rush to Tier 3 for consistent accuracy, then push Tier 6 for total dominance in boss fights. With these stacked bonuses, you’ll barely notice the damage numbers before the loot drops.
