Runescape Game Play

This is a basic help for the new Runescape Mini game Barbarian Assault.

I have only played as Attacker I am level 5 and and considered to have mastered attack but I will be giving tips to help all players. This games requires teamwork to complete it successfully or quickly.

For levels 1 to 9 the principle is the same, the main priority for an attacker should be the highest level combat player in the team, obviously if you are playing as a regular team you should take in turns in each role to give other players experience and for a change.

All
You need to inform the other player what they need to use or do by using your horn, when the option changes let them know before you do anything, so they can change their option as required, for an example If the egg colour changes I will let the collector know straight away before changing my attack style, this will ensure that we can use the required change as soon as possible, if you forget to notify don't apologise just notify as soon as possible but get ready for a change in option shortly.

Healing
At level 115 combat I only need healing at wave 8 and 9, but if you are a healer just keep healing if you see anyone in need of any health, all players should go to the pool to the south if you require immediate healing, this is where the healers fill their vials so you can get healed as soon as they come back, when you are at full health go back and resume your normal duties.
The healer also has a job to poison the penance healers, this is done by using the poison food with them, poisoning them will help reduce their hp and therefore make it easier for the cannon to finish them off.

Collector
Collect the required eggs as soon as possible if you fill the hopper kill the penance healers first, fire poison and then continue with explosives, these can not be killed by the attackers or the defender so must be killed by cannon, when the attackers have killed all the rangers and fighters they can take over the cannon and you should just collect the eggs this will allow the rest of the monsters to be killed as quickly as possible, when all healers are dead kill the runners.

Defender
Kill the runners as quickly as possible by setting the appropriate trail and traps, this roll is not as important as the other rolls until you get to the queen, then there is a lot of pressure on you.

Attacker
Put auto retaliate on run to the north west corner and attack with the attack style for the moment this is displayed in the top right hand side of your screen, with auto retaliate on you will normally attack the rangers first, these can attack from a distance and can attack player by the cannon, when all these are dead the canon is then a safe haven for all players getting low on health, kill off the fighters and then make your way over to the cannon and kill the rest of the monsters that remain.
If you are using the wrong attack style you will not hurt the monsters and take 2 damage at each hit if you haven't been notified what style to use just change it until you stop getting hit for 2's.

The Queen wave 10
First rule is do not panic or you stand no chance.
The queen is not difficult to kill, in fact the this is probably the easiest wave of all, it helps to have 2 healers for this round, she is level 209 and can only be killed by omega eggs, first of all you must kill all monsters so kill all penance rangers, fighters, healers and runners before you make omega eggs and attack her.
Even if the queen has arrived just continue to use the horns and kill the remaining monsters, turn off auto retaliate so you don't keep going back to the queen, the runners now are out of the range of the cannon so the defender must use their trail of food to trap them.
The healers must run around healing everyone as they need it this may involve a lot of work because the queen can attack everyone everywhere and can hit 14 damage.
Attacker as soon as the wave starts run up the west side pick some crystals from the mushrooms on the way up and then attack the rangers as before, kill all rangers and fighters as with previous waves, when they are all dead look for other monsters not yet killed, these are normally runners who hide in the south east corner, there is nothing you can do but give the defender a bit of encouragement.
As soon as all monsters are dead go to the healing pool and make the omega eggs, the collector will load the cannon hopper and everyone should try to fire, it is quite difficult as you have the queen and her little helpers trying to attack you stopping you from being able to fire.
It only takes about 8 eggs to kill her you then exit and see your success screen.
Job done

This is the screen you see when you have successfully killed the Queen in Runescapes Barbarian Assault.
