Assault defender

[Phray]

Is there a trick on how to be a defender in Barbarian Assault? I always have a tough time on defender, and I really want to get a fighter torso.

[Sy_Accursed]

The trick is

 

 

 

1) as with any role get a team that actually calls the horn updates

 

2) Pay attention to the tutorial and do what your meant to

 

3) Get a team that doesn't jsut cannon the hell outta healers and actually gives you a chance to do them yourself

Defending is a fine art. 90% of the trick is to avoid abusing your teammates to the extent that you become permanently banned from Runescape. The other 10% is a mix of the following:

 

 

 

- When you start the wave, check which food you're supposed to use. Then, drop a few pieces of the wrong food between the two cannons. This will make any runners turn back towards the outlet caves and give you more time to deal with them.

 

- USE THE CANNON. Using the cannon does not make anyone lose any points. It's a ridiculous myth which needs to be stopped. Grr.

 

- Make sure you continue to call, in case the healer decides to punish every teammember including him/herself by not calling either.

 

- As soon as you have a few free inventory spots, get the hammer and logs, so you're ready to repair the traps.

 

- USE THE CANNON.

 

- If the healer doesn't call, use the horn.

 

- USE THE CANNON.

 

- On wave 10, it's usually just as easy to lead the runners into the exit cave. You won't lose any points, but if they're near the traps just kill them the usual way.

 

 

 

Happy (or not so happy) defending :)

 

Oh, and use the cannon.

First of all, that Fighter Torso is pure garbage.

 

 

 

Secondly, you don't have to be a Defender to get 1.

 

 

 

Third, if you want easy time being a Defender, why not get a higher level defender by first playing as a different role?

 

 

 

Few tip on defending:

 

• 
   
  [*:3rdvfjp8]Use the fact that the runners RUN AWAY from the wrong food, and put it in places close to the exit.
   
   
   
  [*:3rdvfjp8]Take the hammer and food as fast as possible when a wave starts.
   
   
   
  [*:3rdvfjp8]Remember that the easiest wave to be a Defender, is that last one!

ok you can get 5 points for every single time you beat queen but thats extremely slow

 

you would need to beat queen 75 times to not defend at all which is stupid
