High VIT is recommended for a higher HP pool to take more damage.įor a crusader that will level using a Soul-Link and Shield Boomerang, it may be possible to forgo high DEX in favor of other stats, as Shield Boomerang never misses when under the influence of a Soul-Link. However, Sacrifice is very useful in party situations and any offensive build is able to fit this into their skill build. Crusaders are more concerned with leveling as quickly as possible, so it is recommended to utilize one of the leveling builds that are able to solo or kill monsters on their own. Sacrifice should not be seen as a "build" but just another skill for Crusader class characters to acquire (it is actually so helpful to parties that every Crusader / Paladin / Royal Guard should invest at least one point in it). There are end-game Royal Guard builds that are built as pure Sacrifice, but for a Crusader, this is more used as a very helpful utility skill for protecting the squishy classes in the party. STR: 40-80 (for solo leveling at least in the early stages, or Weight Limit).The player can also choose to use the Pantie / Undershirt combo or the Fricco's Shoes / Odin Blessing / Falcon Muffler combo, if the player cannot afford a Morrigane's Manteau. Players can choose to use CRIT gear to bring out more damage in this build, as it benefits greatly due to its attack-speed boosts. The AGI in this build also applies to a Crusader's 3rd job role: the Royal Guard, which takes advantage of the ASPD for a powerful single target skill, Vanishing Point. This means that fewer HP / SP Healing Items would need to be used. The AGI sader focuses on single target meleeing, as opposed to the other builds that focus either on AoE mob training, single target skill spamming, or party support. DEX: 30-50 (high DEX is not needed if near 100% CRIT rate)Ī popular build for newer players without as much funds.Two handed spears are recommended for leveling with this skill for double damage. Holy Cross is a powerful single target skill with a low SP cost. Holy Cross 10 (High single target damage, cheap SP cost).Magnum Break 10 (primary AoE leveling skill during the Swordsman phase).DEX is important to a Grand Cross Crusader because it reduces cast time. VIT is important for mobbing multiple monsters to level. Getting both STR and INT is recommended for higher ATK and MATK, which also helps with Weight Limit as well as SP Regeneration. Grand Cross, which is often abbreviated GC, is a skill that relies on both the Crusader's ATK and MATK to deal damamge to the enemy.
Guard Optional 6-8 (Tanking for parties).Sacrifice Optional 1-5 (For party situations).Grand Cross 10 (Can adjust to a lower level within hotkeys if already one-shotting monsters).Holy Cross 6-10 (High single target damage, cheap SP cost).Endure 5-10 (raising the skill level does not raise the amount of hits ignored, only the length of the skill).Bash 5-10 (will be replaced by Holy Cross later on anyways).Magnum Break 10 (this is the primary leveling skill of most until GC is learned).
