Trucidus’ Memory Book

“A Magic Book Filled With Long, Impractical Spells”

SECTION 1: Magic Fundamentals

FIRE ELEMENT

Fire Bolt

Fire Bolt, while being extremely useful for leveling, is not a particularly useful skill outside of that. When used in conjunction with an Imp Card, it can be useful as a cast interruption or to dispatch of Undead Element Foes.

Fire Ball

I have never used this skill, even while leveling. I suppose it could be annoying to a distant precast, a well-aimed AoE spell would do a better job.

Fire Wall
Once again, it’s a skill that has it’s uses for PVM. WoE’s knockback immunity renders this skill useless.

Fire Pillar
Fire Pillar can be somewhat useful if you have enough time to put up a blockade. Although frowned-upon for the most part, it’s ability to stun-lock in place for a short duration of time can assist a Wizard while fleeing, or in conjunction with another player to exploit their moment of vulnerability.

Meteor Storm

Meteor Storm, the AoE that Stuns, Stacks, and does a decent amount of damage. Although the cast time for it is rather long, when used in conjunction with a Bard Class as well as large amounts of Dex can create a massive volley of fire damage. Meteor Storm has slight stun-lock capabilities with a chance to inflict the “Stun” Status Ailment. Amazing in a precast, or any other narrow area.

Sight Blaster

Sight Blaster is an amazing skill. When cast it circles a character much like sight. However, when any character (cloaked or uncloaked) enters it’s radius, they will be simultaneously revealed, pushed back, and inflicted with a low amount of fire-based damage. This ability can be followed-up with a debilitating spell to keep most Melee characters at bay. This buff should be kept up as much as possible, especially when Assassin Cross and Champions are present.

WATER ELEMENT

Cold Bolt

Cold Bolt, the not-quite-as-good-as-Firebolt. When paired with Siroma Cards, it can be useful for leveling. However, outside of that, it’s only real use is to interrupt people casting skills. Nothing really remarkable.

Frost Driver

Think of this as your rapid-fire skill. It’s irritatingly quick to cast, useful for interrupting cast times, as well as it’s relatively high freeze chance makes it a threat to the ill-prepared. Useful for when you can’t cast Storm Gust.

Water Ball

If there were more puddles of water laying around, or a Deluge Scholar/Water Escape Ninja to follow me around, maybe I’d give this skill a shot. Truth it, it’s a pain in the ass to use. It’s unfortunate, but true.

Frost Nova

Frost Nova is a skill I’d like to like, however, it isn’t useful. If you encounter a lot of melee units without freeze protection, you can use it to freeze the people attempting to break through your safety wall. Unfortunately, Storm Gust does a very good job of that.

Ice Wall

Ice Wall has it’s uses in PVM, which are quite obvious. Using it to block a passage, and cast spells over the other side of it to hit monsters that can’t hit you back, or just hiding from sight of a nearby MVP while your guild prepares to attack.

Storm Gust

Storm Gust is probably my favorite Wizard skill. Besides the damage and AOE properties of the spell, Storm Gust is guaranteed to freeze anything freezable after it’s third hit. Want to know if that person is wearing a Marc/Evil Druid? This is a great way to get your answer. At lower levels, Storm Gust still retains this property, while having a reduced cast time.

WIND ELEMENT

Lightning Bolt

There is no Accessory Card to improve this skill, and Jupital Thunder is better. Not commonly used.

Thunderstorm

Much like Fire Ball, I don’t find myself using this move. Ever.

Jupital Thunder

Jupital Thunder is a great move. It is Lightning Bolt with increased number of hits, added knockback, with a decent amount of stun-lock. It’s a good spell to use against single-target enemies.

Lord of Vermillion

The annoying AoE. Though not particularly powerful, it has the ability to stun-lock enemies to a noteworthy degree. It can have it’s uses, but generally is outshined by Storm Gust and Meteor Storm.

EARTH ELEMENT

Stone Curse

Stone Curse is your alternate to Frost Driver. Though this, too, is ineffective against undead foes, it can be used against players using Marc cards in it’s place.

Earth Spike

Earth Spike’s delay makes it an interesting tool against hide-dodgers. Though by no means a damaging spell, it is a must-have for any PVP combat situation.

Heaven’s Drive

It’s quick cast and ability to uncloak makes it very useful in battle scenarios. Once again, a must-have for combat!

Quagmire

Quagmire is a great spell, though it must be used with care. It cancels Attack Speed and Agility related buffs, as well as reducing Attack Speed, DEX, AGI, Walk Speed, and increases Cast Time for anyone standing in it. However, that literally means ANYONE, including you and your ally. Watch your placement!

GHOST ELEMENT

Napalm Beat

I don’t see any particular use for this, but it’s a multi-hit ghost element spell that does splash damage around the target. I mean… it interrupts, but it’s not too special.

Soul Strike

This could be thought of as “Ghost Bolt”. Though it’s not too useful, it has the uncanny ability to hit Evil Druid users really hard and really fast. It’s a fun, irritating spell.

Napalm Vulcan

Napalm Vulcan, while not being a particularly damaging spell, has the ability to “Curse” it’s target. This status can help make an extremely quick getaway, and is generally unpleasant to be affected by it.

DEFENSIVE/UTILITY SPELLS

Safety Wall

The best spell you’ve got, hands-down. Prevents 10 physical attacks on whatever is standing in it. Asura Strikes, Sonic Blows, Sacrifice, and Bowling Bashes are all rendered useless. Any time you cast an AoE spell, you better be standing in one of these babies.

Mystic Amplification

This buff will power-up for MAtk by 50% until you cast your next spell. However, that means ANY spell, even skills not meant to deal damage.

Energy Coat

Energy Coat is an amazing defensive buff. Being able to reduce damage in the place of SP is a unique trait that should be exploited in this class. Doesn’t matter how you’re playing, use the buff!

Monster Property

Though you can use it if you WANT, I’d just go to IROwiki or RateMyServer.Net.

Sight

Useful to keep up to uncloak enemies. Though not as useful as Sight Blaster, it doesn’t hurt to keep this buff up!

Magic Crasher

This is a really fun and unique spell. It converts your Matk to a single physical hit. Since the damage is physical, any weapon effects (including cards) are a potential effect of your spell. Because of it’s spamability, it’s the best skill for interrupting another person’s casting.

Gravitation

I’ve been reading on this skill, and though I don’t know if it truly has a
practical use, there seem to be a couple accounts of this skill having
some use. It doesn’t seem particularly useful to me at all.

Ganbantien

Ganbantien is a useful spell that can be used to clear the ground of hazards. This is used to punch holes in any AoE/Trap skills, though most commonly it’s used to cut holes in a Scholar’s Land Protector.

Passive Skills

Increase SP Recovery

When you’re training, obviously this can help you level a little faster. Outside of that, I don’t recommend this skill except for being a prerequisite.

Soul Drain

This skill works as a way of recharging your mana as you go, though AoE skills will not activate Soul Drain. Some people may prefer to put their skill points elsewhere, but the Max SP bonus obtained through this passive buff is really nice to have, though maybe not completely necessary. Distribute skill points with discretion.

Through knowing properties (and a little help from some friends) it’s possible to hit 200,400 or more damage. That’s just with a Cold Bolt!

Knowing how to inflict certain status ailments can make fighting much easier for any High Wizard. However, you may not always be able to freeze or stone curse an enemy. When this happens, it’s best to resort to a “Plan B”.

Quagmire is an excellent spell to use. It’s ability to slow down enemies can open a decent window of opportunity to lay a Safety Wall down. Since it cancels a Whitesmith’s “Cart Boost” you can also use this skill to temporarily incapacitate them. You should always be careful not to cast it over yourself unless completely necessary, as it will result in a slower walk speed and cast time.

Using Napalm Vulcan’s cursing ability can help you to cover some ground if you’re under attack. Once again, linking it up to Safety Wall or Quagmire is always a safe bet.

A commonly overlooked strategy lies in the spell “Magic Crasher”. As I had stated in it’s description, it has the ability to carry weapon properties into itself. This creates the potential to status opponents with a Knife [4] enchanted with the card of your choice. Multiple daggers can be carried to exploit any weakness.

Status Cards

Savage Babe Card – Inflicts [Stun] Status at 5% per card. [Useful]

Stun is great, since it incapacitates the enemy completely. No items, no moving, and no attacking make for a very easy battle.

Metaller Card – Inflicts [Silence] Status at 5% per card. [Useful]

If an opponant isn’t expecting it, hitting them with silence can wreck a bit of havok. Be wary of opponents using Green Potions or Royal Jelly!

Plankton Card – Inflicts [Sleep] Status at 5% per card. [So-So]

Sleep is a step down from stun. While it still has the same effect, the duration is ended upon receiving another hit. Use it if you don’t have Savage Babe Cards.

Magnolia Card – Inflicts [Curse] Status at 5% per card. [So-So]

Curse is fun for it’s ability to annoy, and to make a quick getaway. Tied in with Magic Crasher’s almost non-existent cast time, and it’s crazily short after-cast delay, it can be used to curse more efficiently than Napalm Vulcan.

Marina Card – Inflicts [Freeze] Status at 5% per card. [Not Useful]

I don’t see the purpose of using this when you have Frost Driver and Storm Gust.

Breeze Card – Inflicts [Bleeding] Status at 5% per card. [Not Useful]

Bleeding is just a poison that can kill you. Doesn’t incapacitate, doesn’t help.

Familiar Card – Inflicts [Blind] Status at 5% per card. [Not Useful]

Some players have removed the “blind” fading, thus making this effect useless.

Snake Card – Inflicts [Poison] Status at 5% per card. [Not Useful]

While it throws in some extra damage, the amount it does is so insignificant that you might get laughed at.

Requiem Card – Inflicts [Chaos] Status at 5% per card. [Unsure]

I’ve never tested the effects of Chaos cards. Though, it should be noted I’ve never SEEN them used, I can only guess it’s not particularly useful.

III. Strategies and Tips

Now that you’ve got an idea of how to increase damage, and the various uses of the spells at your disposal, we can begin discussing ways to integrate them into your play. Before you jump into combat, these are a few pointers to help you start strong.

• Guard yourself! Make sure to keep Energy Coat, Sight, and Sight Blaster up constantly. As soon as you stop moving, or if you know your destination, instantly drop a Safety Wall. With your low HP modifier, it is most certainly better safe than sorry.

• As soon as you set foot in a Safety Wall, cast Amplify Magic Power. You should be prepared to attack immediately. Covering yourself with yourself with level 1 Storm Gust can keep distance between you and opponents.

• When encountering the enemy, it is best to hit them with a Quagmire ASAP. Quagmire has no cast time and is a strong debuff. This can give you extra time to react, or flee if need be.

• Use low level, or fast-casting spells to interrupt enemy spell-casters. This can help make crucial openings in WoE and Battlegrounds.
• If an enemy is hide-dodging your spells, hit them with Earth Spike. Earth Spike will knock them out of hiding and do a small amount of damage.

• Do not forget to use Ganbantien to clear hazards such as Land Protector and Sniper Traps. Taking Land Protector out from beneath an opponent can be a deadly surprise!

• Estimate the amount of time an enemy remains frozen, and cast another Storm Gust before they thaw. If they do not swap armors, they will be left with insufficient time to heal.

IV. Research Resources

Obviously it takes more than just knowledge of your skills and well-placed clicks to do well as a High Wizard. A good portion of skill goes into constantly updating and tweaking your stats and equipment. Though this can be a daunting task at first, through using a few different calculators and databases you’ll find it’s not very hard at all. Here, I’ll list a couple of the resources I use most often.

• RateMyServer is a great choice, obviously. They’ve got a Renewal Search, as well as a Pre-Renewal for both monsters and items. You can also see the script for each item, making it possible to see if an item isn’t functioning correctly. I’m also absolutely in love with their search form. You can narrow down your search results with options like “Items that affect DEX”.
• IROwiki isn’t a bad place to go either. If it exists in the realm of RO, you can find it.
• IROwiki Character Simulator – This is used to simulate the gear on your character, buffs, etc. to see your stats were you to use the selected items. I believe this is the most updated version.

SECTION 2: The Pursuit of Knowledge

Now that we’ve made it through the basics, we can begin going in-depth on the math that goes behind a High Wizard. Here you will discover a few types of builds, what they’re like, and opening the potential to explore and improve your builds. We’ll also explore the items involved in getting your WoE/BG supplies, and some my recommendations/comments on commonly used equipment.

The first question this section seeks to answer is, “What am I attempting to do as a Wizard?”

II. Build Overview

So, we know what stats contribute to spells, how the spells are used, and by now, you’ve probably got an idea on what kind of wizard you want to make. This is where the fun really starts, and you being working on a build that is comfortable and productive. Let’s take a look at how each stat can be thought of for your character.

STRENGTH

Strength on a wizard isn’t particularly useful, since it’s only contribution is an increased weight limit. Use it for that, and that alone. Works as a decent dump stat.

AGILITY

Agility doesn’t have any real use to a High Wizard.

VITALITY

INTELLIGENCE

DEXTERITY

LUCK

… to be continued …

First of all whats a guillotine Cross?

A Guillotine Cross is the 3rd job for the Assasin Job in Ragnarok Online it is one of the most versatile Jobs of all.
Now like most all of the jobs in ragnarok it also has its pros and cons .

Pros.
– GX Can dish out alot of damage and mostly one hit other classes such as Warlock/Sorcerer/Other GX and possibly Some Sura’s
– Flee is very high therefore Normal physical attacks will mostly miss on you. and with Hallucination walk your Flee can reach to a Ridiculous   amount.
– Very hard to catch because of Cloaking Exceed which now lets the Assasin Take 3 hits before it uncloaks

Cons.

-Durability against some magic attacks and Physical attacks will be hard with lack of skill.

-Not for PvM, if you are planning to PvM with this job dont bother.

-Most of its equipments will cost you.

Now Lets talk about the skills you are gonna need.

-Cross Impact

This skill lets is probably one of the most painful in terms of physical damage. its basically an upgraded sonic blow. which is highly spammable.

Tip: if you are planning to spam CI. you should practice the lord knights Bowling Bash Dance. CI works like that too. So now we have a Cross impact Dance

-Rolling Cutter and Cross Ripper slasher.

Now this will be your most devastating blow to the enemy.  Now if you cant kill your enemy with just CI spam. why not try 1 hitting him. Basically what you do is spin around 10 times then Decapitate that mofugga.

Tip: Dont Spin around Sura’s Cause they can easily use Cursed Circle and will put all your efforts to waste. Instead wait for them with your charges set to 10 and then click theyre dead.

Venom Impress

This skill Literally is like Lex but for poison.

Now for the stats.

Str 100~110 Main source of atk

Agi 100~110  Be sure to get lots of agi because it is the main factor for Cross Ripper Slasher your most Devastating Skill

Vit 70~90 Depends on your gear, Mostly for survivability purposes

Int (Rest goes here)
Dex 70~80 you will only be needing enough dex to hit your opponents and since you have Crit what for?

Luk 90~110 ABSOLUTELY depends up to you. This attribute will increase your pDodge therefore i suggest getting some to not get pwned by other GX’s

Equipment

Upper HG – +4~10 Large baphomet horns[0], +4~10 Feather Beret[0] , Beret[0]

Middle HG – Angel Ghost[0],Blush of Groom[0]  Or any HG within association with ATK/Reduce Demi

Lower HG – Pdagger[0], Gentlemans Pipe[0], Hankerchief in mouth[0]

Armor – +4~10 Valk Armor[1]

Garment – +4~10Diabolous Garment[1], +4~10 Nydhog Shadow Garb[1], +4~10 Valk Manteu

Shoes – Variant Shoes, +4~10 Diabolous Shoes[1], +4~10 Valk shoes[1]

Weapon – +4~15 Infiltrator[1] , +4~10 KVM Katar[0]

Shield – +4~10 Bradium Shield[1], +4~10 Valk Shield

Acce1 – Bradium Ring[1]

Acce2 – Bradium Ring[1]

Cards.

Upper Mid Low HG – None, But if you dont want to use my suggested gear and went on with something that has a slot use Maya Purple

Armor – Tao Gunka Card , Sealed Tao Gunka Card , Evil Druid Card, Pasana (PS : Only switch to Pasana When up against a DB type RK)

Garm – Raydric Card , Devilling Card ( PS: Only use Devilling Card when you see a Sura Casting Guillotine Fist on you)

Shoes- Matyr Card Card , Green Ferus Card

Shield – Thara Frog Card , Golden Thief Bug Card (PS: Only switch to GTB when you see a wiz casting Tetra on you)(PSS: Only switch to cranial when a Sura has you locked in Cursed Circle)

Weapon – Turtle General Card , Hydra Card

Acces1 & 2 – Gold Scaraba Card (+20 ATK   -1% HP)

Explanation for the gear.

Upper Mid Low HG –  Why so much with the anti demi human?Because Surviving is one of the factors to achieve victory in pvp

Dude Srysly you already dont have a shield and low HP pool.

Armor – The main objective hear is to not get your Armor broken( Valk Armor ) and also because TGK will be one of the things youll be thanking for surviving a Tiger cannon or Two. Reaching a high amount of HP for survivability is a must.

Shoes – Why the matyr card?  it gives you +1 agi and as i always say every stat point counts  ~ it also gives the same effect as a Ferus card

Shield – The whopping 30% reduce damage is very nice for when a sura has you locked in one of those Cursed circles. Or a GTB card whe nup against magic users.

Garm – Raydric card reduces damage from neutral attacks like Tiger cannon and Hundred Spear | I repeat only switch to devi when a sura is castng Asura strike on you.

Acce 1 & 2 – Gold scaraba card is very awesome. as it can drastically increase your damage output because of its +20 atk for each card. so thats +40 atk for you. and with a mere cost of -2% hp for when bot acce’s are equipped.

Weapon – Your main idea is to kill your enemies so Racial Cards all the way ~ BTW  Racial Cards affect all of the skills that i have mentioned.

Gameplay

This part is easy. Now always to remember to do all these things before going into action.

1. Always Have your Poison react, Enchant poison and Weapon Blocking Buffs UP as for it is very important in Dealing out damage and also Surviving.

2. Always use EDP and Venom Impress before you attack an enemy so that you can maximize your damage output on them.

3.Always Use Exceed Cloak and Backslide it can save your ass trust me.

4.Never take an Enemy too lightly because they might soon be your worst nightmare.

5.If you cant kill your enemy try to ask for striking buff from a sorcerer friend.

6.If you cant hit your enemy with Enchant poison buff UP . chances are hes wearing Evil Druid Card. so What you do then is Cloak then take off your weapon, then put in back on. the enchant poison buff should dissapear and you may now use converters to pwn his ass. i suggest using earth to surprise them. Wind is too common nowadays~

7. Reflect against RG? CRS his ass.  Defender? use Rolling cutter and outpot him. Defender&Reflect together? Rolling cutter while outpotting him then use CRS at the exact time when you hit 10 charges.

8. Millenium Shield? Pfft. We have Cross Impact dance ~ BREAK IT (PS: CI dance is exactly like Bowling Bash Dance LK)

9.Cursed circle? Equip a cranial then spam Backslide.

10.Frozen by a Warlock?  Lols switch to GTB Then when he uses tetra backslide then switch to Evil druid card and your weapon. then go for the kill.

11. Dragons breathe? Bitch please Pasana card ~

12.Vacuum by a Sorc? Bitch please Backslide ~

13.Gfist?  Bitch Please Devilling Card ~

14.Gate of Hell? Dont take any chances CRS any Sura as soon as you see them.

And that concludes my Guillotine Cross Guide hope you liked it ~

Any feedback will be appreciated even bad ones ~ keke.

Also sorry for my bad english im a filipino ~

PS- im not on any server right now ~ so feel free to ask me if you would like me to play for your guild :)

This is just a short introductory guide to playing the Assassin Cross class in RO. Leave me comments if this guide’s been helpful to you, if i get good ratings and good feedback, i’ll make a full guide w/ video demonstrations of the tricks i use (Frost Lock, 9 Hit SB, etc. etc.). Enjoy..

Vit Type SinX:

Well, for vit types — like me — who prefer to go with 1 on 1 matches and hard VIT can pretty much tank any job with the right gear switches. Going over the stats, i think it should be ,

Str: 140-150

Agi: 1

Vit:  100-110

Int: 1

Dex: What’s left of your stat points go here. If you’re playing in a farming server and you can’t quite get platinum skills for the SinX class, you’ll have to put less vit and get higher dex.

Luk: 1

Equipment:

Going over the equipment, the image tells you the equipment. That’s from a previous semi-low rate server w/out Gods and Godly cards (Thanatos, etc. etc.).

The rest of the switches for me are, another Proxy Skin Fragment with a Giant Whisper Card and another with deviling, a Diabolus Armor with Tao Gunka, a Valkyrja’s Armor with Ghostring and an Orleans Server with Maya Card ( Just in case you accidentally get hit 3 times by a wiz’s Storm Gust and forgot to switch to Unfrozen/Deadly armor. Of course it’s still a gamble whether they use Jupitel Thunder or play it safe and use Thunder Storm.  ). As for the weapons, the only 2 katars i user are, an  Infiltrator with Incantation Samurai Card and a Katar of Piercing Wind with 2 Hydras and 1 Phreeoni, then of course after casting Sonic Blow, i switch back to a Cranial Valkyrja’s Shield and a Combat Knife, and i pack any dagger with 4 slots and arm them with 4 Stormy Knight Cards.

Strategy:

Strategy should be more than obvious at this point. When you’re playing a 1 on 1 game against another SinX, the idea is to kill him with 1 hit of a Sonic Blow, which is VERY POSSIBLE by the way, even if he’s wearing a Combat Knife and Cranial Shield when you strike him. The idea is to SCAN his weak elemental resistance. The 5 core elements used MAINLY are, Wind, Earth, Fire, Poison and of course the Neutral element. Scanning isn’t hard or anything, seeing as to you have every element at your disposal ( Saying of course that the server you’re playing on provides them on NPC’s ) you can use a converter and hit him with normal attacks, to scan for poison, just hit him with an envenom. If it doesn’t miss, that’s a 85% possibility that he’s gonna die with 1 blow. Once you get the element that does the most damage to him, hit him with your damage katar ( Infiltrator w/ Incantation Samurai Card ) armed with that element. If you’re going against a flee type SinX, it should be obvious innit? The first thing to do is to wear your frost dagger ( Any Dagger w/ 4 Stormy Knight Cards ) and hit him with an envenom. If he freezes, he’s an idiot, if not, hit him away with your Hit Katar.  Hit him with your Hit Katar ( Katar of Piercing Wind w/ 2 Hydras and 1 Phreeoni Card ) armed with the element you want. Now, if by any chance you can’t kill that agi type SinX, that’s because he’s got upgraded equipment +10 and such or has high vit. Then, you’ll need another katar for that KOPW with 1 Hydra, 1 Inca, and 1 Phreeoni, or you could always change your stats to counter his ( Adding more dex ). For PVP, you basically try to freeze anyone you want to kill with Throw Venom Knife. If you can’t freeze em, hit away with a Sonic Blow armed with an element ( Try poison first :) ). Always remember that the switch sequence for PvPing is Frost Dagger -> Cranial V.Shield -> Combat Knife.

You can study the gear switches on your own i hope? :)

Tips and Tricks :

If you still can’t 1 hit him, i’ll give you a clue. Hit + SB + Switch ( To Cranial Shield and CK that is ).

If you can’t kill an LK or a Paladin even when you use the Sonic Blow Frost trick, you can do a frost lock on them ( Hitting tem without breaking the frozen status ). Same as above, Hit + SB + Switch ( To frost dagger that is, then Cranial Shield and CK).

Try to experiment with other builds, use elemental resistance potions to your advantage =)

Well, this is my first guide. I don’t like doing stuff like this. I only want to play and kick everyone’s asses  :)

Sorry for not having a guide for Agi Type’s, i really don’t play agi types because i love high HP’s and i like to use the SinX Class’ s superb ability to tank. Maybe next time :)

My handsome Stalker 8-)

My build is mostly for PvPing and BG/Woe. By copying Flying Side Kick, Shield Chain or Shield Boomerang you can break emperium easily and you can do beautiful EC.

I think you can PvM and drop too. This build is based on a good Matk and medium-high Vit.

Let’s star with the stat :

Str : 29 to carry pots and conso

Agi : 2 the left point

Vit : 72 for a good survivability and to tank a little

Int : 70 for a good Matk to reflect good magic

Dex : 91 to full divest/strip

Luk : 1 none in my case

Now the gears :

Weapon : Cutter (2xPlankton & 2xMagnolia card) To statuse your opponents and full divest them

Elemental Sword (3xPitman card) Switch with this to deal good damage in reflect

Headgear : Top :  +4 Large Baphomet Horn [DEF] or +4 Feather Beret to survive longer than a poring when you are against a demi-human :lol:

Middle : Blush of Groom like the top

Lower : Gentleman Pipe like the top

Shield : +4 Valkyrian shield with Thara frog for survivability or High orc for an additional reflect chance

Armor : +4 Diabolus Armor (if there is a +1/3 vit enchant) with Evil Druid or Marc card for resistance to frozen status

Garment : +4 Valkyrian Manteau with Noxious/Raydric for additional demi-human resistance or with Salamander card if u use DL card to deal good Damage with MS

Footgear : Variant Shoes for a lot of HP and SP/+4 Goibne’s greaves for good HP with Dark lord card to cast Meteor Storm lvl 5

Accessories : 2x Clip with Gazeti card for cold bolt and elemental sword effect/ Ring of Ifrit/ Gazeti clip + Siroma clip for better damage with cold bolt/ 2x Wind Ghost clip to cast Jupitel Thunder and deal good damage

Now the Skills :

High Thief :

This is a link with the skill simu : http://irowiki.org/~himeyasha/skill4/stk.html?10GWJjoelarFqnbn1cDqFJy

Skill to copy : FSK (Flying Side Kick) from a Star Glad or Taekwon Boy, Shield Boomerang from a paladin or crusader, Shield Charge the same. These Skill are very good to break emp and statuse your opponents.

Strategies :

I’ve never fought 1 class by 1 class, all the time I fight all classes at the same time in Battle Ground so I haven’t a very good strategy. But there is a good tip : Use your copied skill on an enemy to statuse him and strip. Then Let your team kill him or them (in WOE or BG). After that, chain (with your copied the skill) the emp. It’s like that we always win in BG. In our team we always are 2 or 3 stalkers. (I play on a french Server)

I hope this build could help you and I hope you liked this. And thanks for reading this.

First lets see the Pros and Cons:

Pros :

*Chase  and cause status  on all enemies

*Doesn’t require expensive items in order to be usable

*A very good team player

*Accurate breaker & useful in defending teams in BG

Cons:

*Requires a lot of restorative supplies

Build: You will need Battleground  food in order to complete this accurately and reading your job bonus stats.

Stalker gets these bonus stats the only ones you need to pay attention to for FSK build

Agi + 11 at job 70, Vit +4 at job 63, DEX + 12 at job 66

Str: get around 30 – 40 max depends how much restorative items you are holding

Agi- 39 – 49  (steamed alligator +7 AGI) agi up + bg food=  50 if 39 or 60 with 49

Vit-  93 use ( Sumptuous feast) in order to make it 100 which is immune to all status but Sleep and stone and Frozen statuses

Dex- 81 and add it with Blessing stalker job bonus and Soul haunted bread (+7 DEX) and it adds up to 110

now for items

Headgear:  Feather Beret or Beret very good for taking hits and helpful since your a tanker.

Weapon: [4] Knife Marina card x4/ [4] Knife 2 magnolia & 2 metaller cards/ Combat knife

Body armor :  padded armor +7 with evil druid or expensive variant Glorious Suit

Shield : Valkyrie Shield + Thara frog card / carry a second to be immune to SC with Medusa card if you don’t have Evil druid.

Garment: Wool Scarf [1] + Raydric or Noxious card / G muffler/ Proxy skin fragment with Raydric card

Shoes: Tidal Shoes [1] + Matyr card/ Glorious shoes

Accessory: armor Charm for the padded armor set and tidal shoes set/ Horong card + Belt[1]/ Glorious Ring x2

Your job or (build) is to take as many hits possible and be immune to statuses to break barricades  stone guardians and the Emperium in battlegrounds.  Also to support teammates by status inflicting enemy’s invading to break your castle! this will be all sided into BG first.

Sinx – If they are the Killing type use Sprinkle sand to blind them, then use the curse, mute dagger and FSK into oblivion until there muted their Spirit buff will be dispelled.  Once that’s done close confine and strip the, but if there DEF types use sleep arrow and try to stop them! if they wear nightmare card try to bother them and close confine them till a teammate comes to help to kill them.

Stalker – In this  battle you have to make sure your NOT stripped or avoid them as possible, if they are the same type as you good chance they aren’t immune to Sleep status unless they’re wearing Nightmare card.  Try to strip them and close confine and use Stalking  so they cannot escape.

Creator – If they are non vit users with stun immunity cards use Stun arrow and the mute/curse dagger to paralyze them so they’re utterly useless to do anything unless they use green pot.  If there SPP type (high vit) use they have little INT to kill you with which means they are weak to sleep or use mute and Curse dagger as spam! don’t try this if you do not have FCP enabled or have items broken, be careful of the Damage dealing type if they do more then 60% try to hide dodge or fsk + sit trick to do spam on them till they get stunned or muted.

Paladin – No fcp strip shield  and armor or just Full strip and freeze them into place matyrs reckoning ones wont be able to kill you unless you don’t have potions.

Lord Knight – Same as above.

Sniper – Careful not to fall into a sleeper trap or ankle snared you do not have enough job points to get Remove trap so FSK them into place until they stun (if there killing type AKA DS) or put them  at rick of being killed.

Professor – If your soul linked and Plaster shield on or ED FSK put them to sleep and strip them.

If DEX isn’t high enough leave them asleep and ignore until team deals with them, they cannot dispell you at all.

Champion – The most difficult to deal with you need to be very reactive to dodge Asura. As soon as you see him about to asura (hide) and sometimes you will succeed but if he has ruwach and sight up stalking and move away until he can’t find you and try to FSK spam and put him into mute and curse and close confine then full strip him!

Wizard – They are minor threats just try not to be Stone cursed or Frozen, spam FSK with mute and Stun them until they cant use anymore skills when teammates come to kill them.

Now for PvP Arena

Stalker + Sinx – This team is very unusual but it works if played right! Stalker the one heavily relied on to deal with difficult enemies , Professors, enemy sinx, wizards and champions.  Try to status and put them all at risk of being hit by your partner blind the sinx and keep him dispelled of Soul link and status him to death till your buddy kills him.  Professor is a difficult one to defeat make sure to put him to sleep if hes (def) type and FSK as much as you can, try to avoid dispel and much as possible.  Champions will be the test of surprise and kill and status with hit locking.  The stalker must be the one annoying him and statuses him into oblivion just keep spamming FSK and try NOT to be hit by Asura yourself unless you think you can take it with no assumptio.

Stalker + Champion – My personal one i use all the time these two can wreak havoc if they’re properly geared and have good reaction and years of experience.  Stalker deals with professor the accursed enemy of the Champ class, if your soul linked the professor  just wants to Stone curse you or Web, just use hide and back slide to avoid them both and use ED card for stone curse and jsut put him into sleep or FSK to avoid so he cannot cast.  Enemy sinx will fail to kill champs if they are  mid demi resist geared and while FSK dispelles SL its a good bet that they will be powerless if they’re *defensive type* if not they are the other variant being full offense little to no VIT and high dex which means the stalker can mute and stun him until the champs destroys him. Pretty much Champ + stalker can hande anything if not ganged by more then 5 people.

SO let me know what you guys think of my little guide  all comments are welcome.

First let me discuss the pros and cons:

Pros:

* Can chase and stun players.  Thus, can cancel casting skills.
* Doesn’t need any powerful weapons/armor.
* Hard to catch from players.
* Owns mostly in PVP.
* Doesn’t need much SP to use.

Cons:

* Requires lots of zeny (Overthrow skill requires 100k zeny per cast.) Specially our server only acquire zeny through events.
* User must be fast handed and handy users only (Can switch armors and weapon quickly! Depends on the opponent.)
* User must know how to use Back Slide and FSK +  Fullstrip combination (Kinda difficult to manage this trick.)
* Full Strip skill does chances only, thus, there will be a chance that opponent might PAWN you too…
* Don’t have much offensive skills, thus, this build is useless on offensive combat attacks.

PVP Styles:

RG vs. SC:
This kinda annoying due to high HP but you can own them.  By using FSK into him do the full strip thing and if full strip succeed then do OT.  If he tries to use Skill/AoE skill against you then use FSK (if fast-handed) +  Full Strip or Back Slide then FSK+Full Strip (much better if Full Strip succeed) spam Masquarades again then OT… THEY PAWNED!!!!

RK vs.SC:
I think this is not as hard as you think as long as you know how to use Back Slide well due to the fact that most powerful skills of RG’s are AoE skills (specially Dragon Breath) and they taking hard to use it for you.  Well, lets get stated.  1st of all don’t ever use OT yet due to high HP and defense so in that case you must strip them up before they caught you (if they can) and die!  1st always spam your FSK + Full Strip (if succeed skip Back Slide) + Back Slide + Spam Masquarades then OT. AND BBOOOMMM!!!!

Kagerou/Oboro vs. SC:
Note: Even a good Kagerou/Oboro might owned you how much more if they are pro XD!
This is the hardest thing you encounter because I, myself 50% chance of winning. Why? Its because thier OT + Soul = /GG! Ouch That Hurts! if he/she caught you and also they got Illusionary Shadow that may kinda annoying cause any Physical/Magical skills are block every 5 attacks (LVL 10 Illusionary Shadow). So here we go, 1st dont ever use full strip cause without full strip they can be own because they are too soft.  So, 1st if they got Illusionary Shadow, always spam FSK to them until 5 attack then use OT!  If you dont succeed then use it again until you got them and BOOMM!!!. And again never use Full strip cause if you do 1 OT of Kagerou might kill you in 1 Blow in a distance!!!!

GX vs. SC:
Note: Must use sunglasses with maya purple card due to annoying invincible thing and never and will never let him near to you XD!
Okay, this is how you do, do FSK into him + Full Strip (if succeed skip Back Slide) + Back Slide + Masquarades then finally OT!

SC vs. SC:
Note: Kinda funny :)
FSK + Full Strip + Back Slide (if succeed skip Back Slide) + Spam Masquardes + OT !!! Then BOOMM!!! (Likewise) YOU BOOOMM!!!!

WL/Sorc/Gene/Mechs vs. SC:
Kinda really ANNOYING AND MOST ANNOYING YOU CUZ CAUGHT YOU DIE! BANG!! JESUS!!! Annoying part is the WL/Sorc due to safety wall Skill! Geezzz!!!!
Anyway, it depends on tactics if you are handy then you can manage to switch armors to counter their skill. Anyway, lets get started, do the same thing FSK + Full Strip + Back Slide (if succeed skip Back Slide) + OT!!! and BOOOOMMMM!!!!!

I hope you guys help me out! anyway try this thing really fun!

1. Knowing the Target

We all know that the Emperium is Holy Element, so we need an anti-holy element, the best element for anti-holy is Shadow Element, we can make our weapon element shadow by using a Cursed Water, its the best element for breaking the Emperium.

2. Type of Breaking

SinX has 2 types, dual dagger type and dual sword, for those wondering what are the difference between those 2.Dual Dagger will be enhanced with your skill Dual Attack making extra damage.Dual Sword wont affect the skill Dual Attack but dual swords are strong because of its Critical damage.so choose wisely

3. Equipments

Headgear:  Ulle’s Cap or Feather Beret  ( Vanberk or Marduk so you won’t get silence if they see you before emp  )

Mid:  anything that gives resistance or boost str/agi ( Vanberk )

Lower:  anything that gives resistance or boost str/agi  ( Deviruchi or Nightmare or Vanberk )

Armor:  D Armor ( with Evil Druid to not get frozen or Porcellio card for more dmg)

Garment:  D Mant/wool ( with Giant Whisper )

5. Stats

Dual Dagger:Str 90+Agi 99 (you want highest ASPD)Vit 10 ~ 20Dex all remaining ( since dual dagger dont need int and luk ) ( luk makes your damage weaker )
Dual Sword:Str 90+Agi 99(you want highest ASPD)Vit 5~10Dex 20 ~30Luk all remaining Stat points

6. Tactics

A. Survival
Things you need to carry during WoE:

Ygg berries ( need alot )/Pots

Holy Elemental Scroll – if your server got it

Undead Scroll- if your server got it

Ghostring Scroll- if your server got it

Royal Jellies

B. Breaking The Emperium
When your near it, use Cursed Water immediately and EDP and attack the emperium . always spam ygg berry/pots if lot of defenders attacking you, dont forget to use Elemental Scrolls for less damage taken from enemies.

7. Reconnecting ( For Soloist )

For those soloist breaking the emperium, after breaking it. relog ASAP becasuse your just solo you cant defend your emperium against a Guild with 10+ members, just wait until its been broke by the other guild then break again.

8. Last Minute break and Hostage Emp

Last Minute Break is the final strike of all guilds and soloist, they’ll rush in to the emp room for the last 1~1:30 minutes breaking the emp before the WoE ends.

Hostage Emp( Works when your Guild has 20+ members online during WoE )

The Guild Leader Commands all the members to kill of enemies on sight, but not breaking the emperium.They’ll Break it in exactly 30 sec ~ 1 min before the WoE Ends.

LK

As the title above, i want to share my build for PvP/WoE sonic blow assassin cross.

This type of sinX is one of the most popular build, due to its ability to 1 hit kill other jobs with sonic blow+EDP.

Status Build  :

STR 120 – 130

AGI 1

VIT  70-80

INT 1

DEX 80-100

LUK 1

No AGI, no LUK, no INT? Yes, because i think AGI, LUK, and INT won’t give significant effect to SB, altough LUK will you extra damage. But sometimes i found pure sonic blow sinX using agi, with the build like i have mentioned above, but they use agi and let the vit 1.

Skill build :

Sonic Blow is a katar based skill, so make sure you’ve maxed out all katar skills. and maxed out Sonic Blow of course. Other important skills of course CDP and EDP. Supportive skills also important : cloaking, enchant poison, and thief skils : backslide, very useful to run away after SB, and hiding, which is very useful when you combine it with grimtooth. Soul destroyer also a good choice, altough you have little INT, it still do some nice damage.

Important skills : Katar Mastery, Advanced Katar Research, Sonic Blow, Grimtooth, Create Deadly Potion, Enchant Deadly Potion, Cloaking, Soul Destroyer, and (maybe) Meteor Assault.

Supporting skills : Hiding, Backslide, Enchant Poison

Equipment :

Attacking Mode :

Upper Headgear : Alice Doll Hat – Vanberk Card (Best for PvP)

(any STR, atk, or demi-human damage improving headgear will be great i think..)

Middle Headgear : Masquerade (+3% damage to demihuman, not bad)

Evil Wing Ears/Angel Wing ears

Hockey Mask (+5% damage to demihuman, best but really expensive)

Lower Headgear : Assassin Mask, Oxygen Mask (looks cool)

Gangster Mask or Pirate Dagger (ATK+5)

Armor : Bone Plate (STR+1) with Porcellio Card (ATK+25, DEF-5)

Enchanted Formal Suit (STR+3) with Porcellio Card

Diablos Armor with Porcellio Card

Weapons :

Infiltrator[1] with Skel Worker Card (refine it as high as possible)

Bloody Roar (refine it as high as possible), for Palladin, LK, and other high VIT characters

+10 Speciality Jur[4] with 4 Howard Alt-Eisen Card (3 Howards + 1 Hydra are good too), for high flee characters (snipers,                        etc)

Katar of Quaking (2 Hydra 1 Skel Worker), to bypass Raydric Card and valkyrie Shield (refine it as high as possible)

+10 Speciality Jur (2x orc skeleton, 2x desert wolf) for AGI type, to help breaking Emperium during WoE when needed

Garment : Wool Scarf/Diablos Manteau compounded with Giant Whisper Card (Skin Proxy Fragment recommended)

Shoes : Shackle/Tidal shoes/Diablos Boots (+9 with Antique Firelock recommended)

Accessories : Bloodied Shackle Ball/Diablos Ring (Mantis/Ragged Zombie) -> recommended

2x Bradium Ring (Mantis)

Thief Ring / Cold Heart

2x Ring (Mantis)

2x Vesper Core 02 (very expensive in my server :D)

IMHO, for the Attacking set, you don’t need to have high + equipments except the weapons (>=+7 is a must), because after SB ing, backsliding and hiding again will be great action to wait the chance to kill your next victim. So, high def is not really important in this set.

Defensive Set :

Upper Headgear : Feather Beret, Beret, Poo Poo Hat (one of them is a must)

Middle Headgear : Evil Wing Ears/Angel Wing ears (def 1)

Hockey Mask (def 2) – middle and lower

Lower Headgear : anything..

Armor : +8 or more Padded Armor with ED/Pecopeco

+7 or more Chain Mail with ED/Pecopeco

(bring 2 or more armors, and 1 Evil Druid carded armor is a MUST)

Weapon : +5 Cowardice Blade (2x Zipper Bear) / +4 Assassin Dagger / +4 Combat Knife

Shield : +7 or more Buckler / Bradium Shield / thorn shield / Orlean’s Server / Valkyrie Shield (Thara Frog Carded)

Garment : +7 or more Wool Scarf/Diablos Manteau compounded with Raydric / Noxious Card(Skin Proxy Fragment will do a lot)

Shoes : +7 or more Tidal shoes/Diablos Boots (Matyr, Green Ferus, or Antique Firelock if +9)

Accessories : 2x Safety Ring

Safety Ring/Armor Charm (Combo with Padded Armor)

With high VIT and this Defensive set, assassin cross can survive longer in PvP / WoE. It also good to combine the Attacking and Defensive set. Put shield and defensive dagger (CK, CB, or Asn Dagger) on the hotkeys, and use Cranial swapping technique. After SB-ing your enemy, ASAP swap your katar with your cranial shield and defensive dagger (it will result a SB with a dagger in the animation). You won’t die easily if someone hit you after SB, and you have enough time to backslide, hide, and heal yourself.
