Barbarian Assault Strategies

More strategies will become available when diagrams are available. This document briefly describes general strategies for each role.

Attacker

Gather penance rangers and fighters into a stack and use AoE damage methods. Use multihit specs (e.g. dragon dagger, dragon claws). Frequent hits and AoE hits are more powerful than slow hits and single hits. Hit each ranger as soon as it spawns, to avoid them traveling east. Stay to the west of the cave as much as reasonably possible.

Collector

Follow the attacker and pick up eggs dropped by penance fighters and rangers. Do not cross the center line of the cave; stay to the west, or stay near the attacker. Be prepared to shoot red eggs at runners and healers if it is helpful. Do not shoot green or blue eggs.

Defender

Stock up on food, then run to the eastern trap. Drop a few bait (3 or so) on the square above the eastern trap, then run towards the center of the cave. Drop a few pieces of bait (2-3) on the way to the center, and then drop a stack of bait (5-7) a few squares southeast of the hammer. Pick up the hammer and logs, depending on what wave you are in, and then run back to the eastern trap and repair it as needed.

More advanced techniques are available for killing runners efficiently in bulk, and keeping healers under control. Study runner mechanics for details.

Healer

Use 1 poison pack on each healer as soon as it spawns, or as soon as you can get to it. It is more important to hit each healer once than it is to kill an individual healer. Once each penance healer has been poisoned at least once, then focus on killing individual healers. Keep an eye on your attacker's health. Try your best to avoid crossing the center of the cave; stay to the east as much as reasonably possible.
