Beef's Imperial Set Royal Guard Build

Recommended Posts

Overview:

 

Royal Guards (also known as RG) is the 3rd job variant of the Crusader. They are a very versatile class, excelling as an Off-Tank due to their high MaxHP modifier, and a wide range of defensive and offensive skills both in PvM and PvP. They also have supportive capabilities which are unique to their class.

As a Swordsman-based class, they are moderately easy to level due to their naturally high HP pool and strong offensive skills even in the early game.

This guide will only cover the PvM aspect of the game.

 

Stats:

  • STR is an essential stat for an RG to boost their Attack Power. Having high STR not only allows them to deal a good amount of damage through their offensive skills, such as Overbrand and Banishing Point; but it also provides a higher weight limit which helps them carry extra potions for survivability.
  • AGI is a semi-optional stat for RGs. Tank-builds benefit from the Flee that AGI provides, but due to the fact that Flee penalty is applied when taking on several mobs at once, Flee is somewhat irrelevant. Damage-oriented builds may benefit from the ASPD bonus, but it is considerably difficult to reach very high ASPD on an RG without sacrificing too much of the other stats. 
  • VIT is the most essential stat for an RG. It increases MaxHP and the recovery rate of healing items. It also provides SoftDEF that can decrease incoming damage by a flat amount as well as resistance against Stun and other status effects.
  • INT is an important stat which helps an RG by increasing MaxSP, seeing how RGs have a relatively low SP pool while their offensive skills are somewhat SP-costly. The increased MaxSP also helps for the SP upkeep of skills like Reflect Damage and Force of Vanguard. Additionally, INT provides a bit of MDEF which helps at reducing magical damage.
  • DEX is another essential stat for any RG who intend to use offensive skills. It adds HIT which allows the RG's attacks to connect with enemies.
  • LUK is another semi-optional stat for RGs. They can provide Perfect Dodge and Resistance against several Status Effects which helps with survivability, but in most cases it isn't needed.
