Barbarian Assault
From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape
Barbarian Assault is a team-based combat Minigame located at the Barbarian Outpost. A team of five players must work together to battle 10 waves of Penance and on to finally defeat the Penance Queen. World 6, 67 and 71 are dedicated to Barbarian Assault, and it is recommended that players find their teammates here.
There are no requirements, but the higher the Hitpoints and Defence levels are, the more likely the player will survive. Additionally, a high Agility level is helpful as certain roles (such as Defender and Collector) involves a lot of running.
This is a safe minigame, so players will NOT lose any items if they die.
You could read this before starting with Barbarian Assault. Here you will find starting information, information about about the waiting room, player roles and penance creatures.
You will be taught how to play Barbarian Assault. You will definitely get in trouble without reading this part. Some tutorial for final battle wave with the queen is taught in this part.
These are some strategies for making the minigame more successful.
This is the rewards page, the gambling part is also shown in here.
[edit] Tips
- Teams do not lose honour points by using the cannon. Because each team member will lose points for runners that pass, a good technique is to use it to kill runners south of the cannon rock.
- Players are allowed to use normal potions; however, potions mixed using Barbarian training may not be brought into the arena.
- Barricaded entrances will only slow down, not stop, Penance from entering the battlefield.
- Penance gloves reduce weight by 3 kg when worn, making them useful for activities involving running (i.e. runecrafting, agility training.)
- Runner hats and Runner boots are useful for tank pures. The hat is similar to a rune full helm in stat bonuses, and the boots are similar to Black boots. Both of these, however, have no negative Ranged and Magic bonuses, making them useful for pures who do not want to sacrifice defence for offence, or vice-versa.
- The Healer hat and Ranger hat offer alternatives to the Farseer helm and Archer helm.
- It is also helpful that teammates wear a full set of Guthan's, so that they do not need to be healed as often.
- Once all Penance creatures are dead, team members should gather near the Healing Pool. This is better for the Healer(s) as they do not have to run far. An alternative for Waves 1 through 9 is for players to hide in one of the corners of the Egg Launcher "hills", where they can't be poisoned, ranged or meleed. This strategy doesn't work at Wave 10 due to the Penance Queen's magic attack.
