Defence Matters is a grandmaster combat achievement which requires the player to kill General Graardor two consecutive times in one trip in a private instance without taking damage from his bodyguards.

Strategy

Prayer flick the bodyguards' attacks; ideally try to make Sergeant Strongstack hit on the same tick as Graardor so both attacks are blocked. Make sure that Sergeant Steelwill and Sergeant Grimspike also attack on different ticks. Graardor has an attack speed of 6 (3.6s) while the bodyguards have an attack speed of 5 (3.0s). Walking under Graardor can help resync off-ticks.

An adaptation that might be easier but requires extended focus is to keep the minions alive after killing Graardor once, then focus on flicking them correctly without killing them as Graardor respawns. By wearing powerful defensive armour such as Justiciar armour or Torva armour, and using an Osmumten's fang with a strong shield such as the elysian spirit shield or dragonfire shield, it should be possible to tank and kill Graardor twice with a decent amount of healing supplies.

Players with knowledge of the 5:0 Tumeken's shadow strategy may opt to do a modified version of it for the achievement:

1. Kill Graardor normally, then kill Strongstack and Grimspike.
2. First kill: As Graardor respawns, kill Steelwill, then pray Protect from Missiles and do the 5:0 method to avoid both Graardor and Strongstack.
3. Continue to 5:0 after Graardor is dead in order to kill Strongstack.
4. Second kill: As Graardor respawns, kill Grimspike, then pray Protect from Magic and do the 5:0 method again.
