You don't have to remember it all at once. Pick one role and play through a couple times. Youll learn it pretty quickly. Then if you want to do other roles, then come back and learn that one. You'd be surprised you won't forget as much as you think when you do a different job

[@lights473]

@@HauntedOath it's seriously not hard to understand

[@Thor.Jorgensen]

@@lights473 Honestly, I think trying the minigame was more explanatory than whatever this video was. Or even better, read and watch Captain Cain's tutorial, who's located in the room near the bank chest. Without any experience in the minigame, this guide hardly makes sense. It's better as tips for people who've already played the minigame.

[@Momohhhhhh]

This video is fine if you've tried it a couple times and understand the overall flow and goal of the minigame. But he doesn't include a general overview of how the game plays out, so it's way too technical if you haven't given it a go yourself yet.

I was just like the ppl that think that BA is too much to remember, confusing, etc. My advice is to just dive in. Forget those teammates that talk down on you for not knowing what to do. Once you ease into the game, these guides make much more sense to help you get better. I went from being hopeless to getting a torso in like 4 hours. Good luck all

[@dovahmagypsy6875]

I've been flamed for not understanding the minigame before. Honestly made me not want to go back and try again

[@cjpk6843]

this sounds insane for someone just getting into members lol i feel sick that i have to remember all this crap just for a chest piece ill eventually replace

[@aggroknight4259]

@@cjpk6843If you get FT early enough, you will actually have it for a long time. Equipment upgrades get really expensive after dragon/obsidian, and a Bandos Chestplate can easily be the last thing you will get before working towards Torva, since you can spend gp on everything else first, especially weapons and jewelry. I think most end-game content is probably doable with a FT, provided you have the optimal gear setup, so there's not much pressure to upgrade once you get one.

[@boisoy1492]

I believe you are explaining this as best as you can, but for me it's like a caveman trying to understand Einstein and Eddington nerding out on astronomy and physics. I love your guides otherwise.

Just pay people to leech a few games until you get Kandarin hard completed. The elite diary isn't that useful unless you do tons of clue scrolls.

[@KayEffinGreez]

This is your first guide I'd call bad. You glanced over a lot of things and made reference to terms with explaining them. There was also no mention of a recommended level.

[@RollestonRS]

KayEffinGreez 40 def and 50 range is what I’d recommend, but it’s dependant on your team.

[@tejathecrazyguy007]

The def role you made it so easy that from my hated role it became the moved loved role instantly. That satisfaction of that sound when all runner die at a time.

you mean this video?

[@jakers22]

@@marcusaurelius8458 cuz 306 is a mess. There's a bunch of torso hunters that have no clue what they're doing and leave the moment they hit 375 points which makes the game miserable for you. Also if you're a pure which a lot of people are then getting carried is more practical. The game doesn't get fun til you hit 5s in roles and can start playing within clans that play for fun

Can't wrap my head around this, all I remember last time as attacker was spending several hours trying to get on a team that would commit to the queen with most having flakes when it got hard and going back to square 1.

[@LoadedEmu97]

I like to think that I know BA fairly decently, but there's still a lot of useful information and optimisations in this guide that I didn't know, especially on Defender & Healer, so thank you! You and the guys from Casual BA and BA Boosts are awesome. I actively play it simply for fun and High Gambles now because I've done pretty much everything else in the minigame. Torso & Level 5 all wasn't remotely as bad as folk tend to say. So if you're still a bit apprehensive about jumping in to BA, don't be. No one expects you to be perfect first time through, and as long as you watch a guide and want to learn, more experienced players will happily show the ropes more as you go.

[@RollestonRS]

Wrench ❤️ we wanted to write a guide that allowed a completely new player to get the roles down as well as easing the transition to being able to do BA efficiently and there is still plenty more to learn to get more efficient but it builds on these strategies.

The best way to learn is to start with attacker then healer or collector next. Learn defender very last. It's all confusing... but if you just jump in and learn each role it it will get easier. 2 weeks ago this guide did not make any sense... now that I have played every role this mini game is actually fun. If your only doing it for fighter torso... you might as well just level up all roles to level 5 or else you will eventually have to come back months later and try to remember each role for when you need to do the dairy.

[@JamesMartinTan]

Not gonna lie...middle school me had a lot of fun playing this and specialized as a defender (which most people hated back then). I'm not really sure what all the fuss was about--you just had to communicate as soon as it changed. Plus, you could lure with incorrect food to a certain extent until you got the right food. I typically dropped one of each food to see what was correct so that way I could play even with a healer that didn't communicate.

[@haiperr6861]

Too informative.
