The defender is a role in the Barbarian Assault minigameplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigBarbarian Assault

This page, and all subpages of it, are intended to document the mechanics of Barbarian Assault. The minigame itself is not yet implemented in the game. This is due to Ryan taking more than the two days that he had promised to code it. Because of this we added a custom way of getting the Fighter Torso which requires 7,5m to purchase. The Dialogue shows how many days since Ryan made the promise..

The defender's role is to kill penance runnersplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigPenance Runner

Penance Runners are a noncombat enemy faced in the Barbarian Assault minigame. They are a curious creature. Their mechanics are notoriously complicated.Penance Runners are passive creatures. They do not interact with players at all, other than standard NPC blocking rules. Only the defender role can interact with runners, and must do so indirectly via dropping bait for them.. They do so by dropping bait to lure penance runners to a trap, which will then kill runners when they stop to eat near it.

Performing the defender role well requires good attention to detail, and typically some level of multitasking. It helps to either know runner mechanics or know some popular strategies for the role.
