General information
While playing Barbarian Assault, players will suffer melee, ranged or poison damage from the Penance monsters. As such, wearing melee armour with both high melee and ranged defence bonus is recommended. Roles other than the attacker do not need a weapon, although an Imcando hammer can be useful for a defender, as it removes the need to collect a hammer for repairing traps. Attackers should refer to the attacker sectionbelow. Many players wear Penance armour for visual appeal or as a sign of e...
Weapons for non-attackers
While non-attackers don't need weapons, they can still benefit from filling their weapon and shield slots. A Dinh's bulwark is recommended if the player has a high enough Agility level to regenerate run energy fast enough. For a much lighter alternative, any Rune or better shield (ideally a fully charged Dragonfire shield) can be used alongside a Zamorakian hasta to provide decent crush and ranged defence bonuses. If those are unavailable, players can opt for Excalibur, a Rune/Dragon longswor...
The first number shows the number of monsters that initially spawn, and the second shows the monsters held in reserve; for example, on Wave 2, two runners spawn initially, and once the first runner is killed, another (the third) will spawn. Creatures can be killed in any order; the first ones to spawn do not need to be killed first to allow others ...
The team leader, also known as the scroller or main, is the player who creates the team using the scroll. During a game of Barbarian Assault, the team leader has a special function in addition to the function of their role. Team leaders can choose to play as any of the four roles. The team leader can quick-start each wave by right-clicking the ladd...
Attacker overview
The attacker (colour in-game: RED)'s job is to use combat to fight Penance Fighters and Penance Rangers. The attacker must use the style called by the collector in order to attack the Penance creatures, or else the attacker will take 2 damage, and deal no damage to the enemy monster. In addition, allplayers receive a penalty in the number of points received at the end of the wave, losing up to 20 points per wave for the attacker, and 10 points per wave for the other team members. The style th...
Gear for attackers
In Barbarian Assault, Ranged is significantly more effective than attacking with melee, even if the player's Ranged level is lower than their Attack and Strength level; this is because of the high ranged strength bonus of the provided arrows. Magic is not recommended due to powered staves being unusable and the minigame only allowing runes for standard spellbookcombat spells. The following table shows recommended setups:
Team briefing
The following steps can be taken by attackers so teams work more efficiently by communicating before starting a round: 1. If there are two attackers, check with the other attacker and decide on an attacking plan. One player should focus on rangers and one on fighters, to prevent wasting hits on the same enemy. 2. If working with new players, remind your collector to only collect eggs in the north-west corner, where you'll be fighting the Penance. This makes communication easier between the tw...
Collector overview
The collector (colour in-game: YELLOW)'s job is to gather eggs dropped by killed Penance creatures. The collector loads these eggs into the egg hopper, which then allows any teammate to fire the egg launcher and damage Penance. The collector is given a collection bagat the start of each round to store eggs in, but the eggs can also be stored in the inventory if the bag is filled up. There are three different coloured eggs: Red, Blue, and Green. At any given time, only one colour of egg can be...
Gear for collectors
Collectors should run north-west with attackers to help stay away from Penance healers. Doing so will expose them to attack by Penance fighters and rangers; as such, collectors should be prepared to take some damage, and wear armour accordingly.
Waves 1-9 as collector
The following is a list of steps for the first nine waves. 1. In downtime, grab as many correct eggs as you can, as more eggs collected means more points for you. If your inventory is full of eggs, either load them into the cannon or destroy them by shift-clicking, and carry on picking up more. Destroying eggs instead of loading will not penalise you.
Defender overview
The defender (colour in-game: BLUE)'s job is to prevent Penance runners from escaping through the tunnel on the south wall of the arena. This is done by laying bait on the ground that attracts runners, leading to traps that kill them. Each runner that successfully escapes will penalise the team by 3 points, for a capped maximum loss of 10 points per wave (doubled to 20 for the defender). Escaped runners will also respawn at the northern caves, meaning the team mustdeal with them to finish the...
Defender points
Unlike the other three roles, the bait used at any given time does not affect the points earned. There is no point bonus for dropping "good" bait, and there is no penalty for dropping "bad" bait; rather, both baits will affect the behaviour of the runners. The only function that explicitly requires "good" bait is activating the trap, as the runner must eat "good" bait at the trapto be killed.
Gear and inventory for defenders
Defenders should be using the east trap, and therefore be out of range from most fighters and rangers. However, it's still possible for them to make their way to the eastern side if not killed fast enough by the attacker. Additionally, melee armour with high ranged Defence is still recommended for surviving the queen's attacks on wave 10. Defenders should have no extra items filling up their inventory, so that the maximum number of inventory slots can be filled with bait. The Imcando hammeris...
Note: in Barbarian assault, the term "healer" refers both to a player who holds the healer role and the Penance Healer monster. In this guide, "healer" or "healer role" will describe the role, and "Penance Healer" will describe the monster.

Always be wearing your strongest armor; as you will constantly be under attack from all of the Penance combat forms. If you are a very high level you can get away with wearing graceful on the earlier waves, but you wont need run energy thát much.
