Combat Training
While 
Strength can be trained through Barbarian Fishing and 
Magic has various non-combat uses, PvM is a more efficient and profitable way to level up combat stats.
Combat Styles
To train combat, use:
- – XP is split equally between
Attack, Strength, and 
Defence. - – Trains Strength and Attack
- – Trains Defence and Attack
- – Trains Strength and Defence
- – Trains
Ranged and Defence - – Trains Magic and Defence.
Note:
Hitpoints XP is always gained alongside any style and cannot be directly trained.
You can choose a fixed style or leave it in default mode (based on the monster attacked). Once changed, you cannot revert to default mode, but there is no benefit to doing so anyway. XP is based on the HP of the monster being killed. The best XP/hr comes from monsters like Giant Spiders, Fire Giants, and Greater Nechryaels. Training combat alongside Slayer is advised for efficiency.
