Stats may vary like:

STR - 9x~1xx

AGI - 90~1xx

VIT - 95~1xx

INT - 5x~7 x

DEX 9x~1xx

LUK 3x~6x

Other gears:

+9 Polution Evil Marching Hat

Bry nhild

Elemental Armors / Unfrozen Carded

Hodremlin Carded shields

-Can solo-kill on Vanishing Point on 188+ ASPD when fully buffed: Valk (Dispells+Earthquake consumes alot of

pots/Kafra cards if you're really going 1v1 it. The hardest so far that I tried. /swt), Kiel, Thanatos, Nyd Shadow,

Baphomet -not the sealed one, Hatii, Ktullanux (havent tried Ifrit, Fallen Bishop) and other low~mid tier MVPs.

-Y ou need 188~19x ASPD to spam Vanishing Point efficiently .*

WOE Builds:

Banding/Inspiration+Genesis Ray RG Build:

Works more of PVP than WOE (since cast time is interruptible in WOE phy sics), the uniqueness of this build

varies since y ou need ATK+MATK to deal dmg (like Grand Cross), either y ou go higher STR over INT, INT

over STR or getting both STR & INT balanced w/other stats (lesser AGI & LUK).

Banding+Genesis Ray:

Banding requires other RGs on Banding Status in party and should be close to each other to spam Genesis

Ray , while under Banding duration (sharing HP, boosts atk & DEF).

Inspiration+Genesis Ray:

Since not all RGs gets Banding and ppl who mostly prefer solo, Inspiration debuffs the caster but increases

accuracy , stats, atk & max HP (Costs 1% of exp every cast, consumes HP & SP over time, part of y our dmg

will reflect back to y ou and deactivates when SP reaches 0, cooldown 5 mins)

Using Genesis Ray requires Banding activated or Inspiration.

How it works:

*Deals Phy sical Atk 1800% Magical Atk 1500% at Max Lv 5 - Consumes 15% of HP, phy sical part can miss

but the magical will alway s hit (can be block w/Guard & Prestige -Magic portion only & avoidable with



Hide).

*Casting time is variable by DEX.

*Targets ground and deals Holy property dmg to all targets in 5 cell radius.

Post-Balance:

Genesis Ray Skill Info Post-Patch:

Banding Skill Info Post-Balance:

Banding

SP drain: (7 - 1 * Skill Level) SP per 5 seconds

If there are more than two Royal Guard with Banding active within 7x7 cell range of each other, increases

Royal Guards’ ATK and DEF.

Royal Guards will regenerate HP 50% faster and they will share same average HP.

ATK increase: [# of Royal Guard party members x (10 + 10 * Skill Level)]

DEF increase: [# of Royal Guard party members x (5 + 1 * Skill Level)]

Overawe chance: [(Caster’s Base Level / 5) + (Banding Skill Level x 5) - (Target’s AGI / 10)] %

AoE: 7x7

Overawe movement reduction: 90%

Movement reduction duration: (Banding Skill Level x 2) seconds

For a battle build -Bry nhild works better, obv iously because of the 10% pdmg & mdmg boost- but if y ou will

be a Sacrifice slave then there's y our reason to go for it (believe me for I have seen tons of RGs from

different RO regions/versions and mostly just wear it for the looks and brag) note that this card +100%

HP/-DEF 50/-MDEF 50 and is useable mostly for supporting using Sacrifice.]

New!!* RWC Ring Accessory (Can be slotted and chanted up to 3 times!)

kRO WOE gears update:

New sets: +9 WOE Siege Plate set gives alot of HP/demi-reductions too, I can barely die to average G. Fists

in WOE with these and that I personally recommend this for non-God/MVP item users.

My original build "Hayroh Phoenix Battle RG -Inspiration/Sacrifice- 1.0 build":



My skill build notes:

1 . I went for max Sacrifice because of my guild play s now is mostly party -based, and my experiences from

prev ious PVP events (USRC, scrimmage etc.) really help me improved on using these. Keep in mind that the

caster classes will mostly benefit on this, the shield buffs: Defending Aura/Guard/Reflect Damage carry to

y our sac-ed ppl and since 1 of the most deadliest AOEs is Dragon Breath, and casters gain uninterruptible

castings.

2. Removed PPA 3~5 since most of the ppl now has FCP buffs on them and post-balance badly nerf its

damage, now its only Lv 1 to unlock Overbrand.

3. Lowered Genesis Ray from 5 > 4 (I stopped PVP-ing coz I need to conserve my EXP in WOE and if I ever

do PVP, Genesis Ray 4 is already devastating enough for abusing that no reduction phy sics in PVP maps)

and it just became my Inspiration skill pre-requisite.

4. Reflect Damage is badly nerfed. Only for skill pre-requisite (Earth Drive>Shield Spell>Inspiration), and

since WoE Plate sets came, I could hardly take so much damage thus lesser reflect damage too so its kinda

useless these day s same as PVM leveling. WoE Plate set with +12 Cat Ear Beret/+12 Cranial Immune

Shield/3D Glasses/Hankerchief in Mouth can mostly tank Sura's average G. Fists and GoH even without

Ghostring or Deviling carder gears.

5. If y ou are killing 1 by 1 , never forget to Provoke first, it really helps alot, specially when theres a good

linker timely using Kaite and they stack to the target and receive more damage.

6. My old builds were mostly for solo modes and wasnt depending to class buffs. I started to get mostly in

party play s and this build is really versatile in alot of situations, as long as y ou know when to do defensive,

offensive and supporting.

My stats are tweaked to(base):

STR > 100 = Of course, for power Overbranding on Magic Strings+Inspiration.

AGI > 90 = Decent enough for ASPD and Vanishing Point spam rate, m ore ASPD can be

easily achievable by alot by gears these days. Resistance vs Masquerade debuffs.

VIT > 95 = Still for total 100, stun resist.

INT > 55 = SP pool, RG self-buffs that needs longer SP up keep/recovery,

DEX > 90 = Mostly good enough to hit everything but not flee builds and GXes on

Hallucination Walk.

LUK > 30 = 3 LUK pts : +1 ATK, also sem i-resist for Mandragora Howling

My battle gears:



I also play my RG very rare these day s not because it had a lot of nerfs or whatever but I started to also try

different classes and play /master my alts (depending mostly what we lack during WOEs) so thats one of the

reasons I can barely log on him, but he is still my "main".

War of Em perium Tactics/Suggestions:

-Inspiration Skill eats 1% of y our EXP so try to use it wise, and knowing to use it to counter such effects like

Strip/Divest/Masquerades/Cold/Cry stallization, why this is skill is very situational but Godly if properly

used.

-FCP is y our friend against strippers and equipment breaking, though Masquerade by passes these effect

unless y ou are in Inspiration duration, so watch y ourself against Shadow Chasers.

-Earth Drive/Magnum Break cancels Thorn Walls. ED also best eraser for Manholes/Extreme

Vaccuums/Magnetic Earth/Pneuma/other ground affecting skills.

-Buffing takes patience, watching y our buffs icons and y our remaining SP specially versus Dispellers/Pile

Bunker/SP-sucking skills and recasting; why I alway s keep & watch my self with my Guard/Reflect

Damage/Defending Aura/Piety /etc.

-Magic Strings make Overbrand effective for mob killing when y ou can spam it (and its fun when y ou go

rushing into enemy recalls steal their strings effect and OB them all to death while on Reflect Damage).

-Never forget bringing green pots. Because mostly in WOE y ou will encounter Chaos/Silence/Blind.

-Timely using y our Defending Aura. Most RGs would hate this skill because of the slow-ass walking but

believe me, Guard and Def Aura are the best skills for tanking, (unless til y ou get dispelled of course).

-Making y our Peco/Gry phon high on Speed Potions (what I call "Bird Rush" when y ou try to push fast into

enemy lines and do y our thing).

-Using Provoke Lv 10/Pinpoint ATK Lv 3 and using y our best ATK skills; most effective way of killing ppl if

one at a time.

-Y ou can't tank every thing at 100%, try to look around, scout first, plan y our next moves and don't waste

y our pots/supplies try ing to surv ive a bunch of ppl pointlessly in y our screen or just use Bwing at super

intense situations.

Leveling as RG (Will be putting Base Lv 100 and below spots for

Swordsm an>Crusader>Paladin later because I'm too busy yet RL):

As Vanishing or Overbrand mob leveling (can do solo but y ou will mostly bring lots of white pots &

strawberries, saves more if y our tagging with a support Arch Bishop), these spots may not be the best EXP-

giv ing maps but as the spawns in these are pretty decent for leveling. Note also that Post-Balance nerfed

Reflect Damage so bad and I wont suggest it as for leveling.

Base Lv-Map (Monsters to kill):

*100~110 or 115 - Juperos (Dimiks/Venatus)

*110~125 - Rachel Sanctuary (Isillas/Vanberks)

*120~135 - Abyss Dragon Lake Lv 2 (Acidus/Ferus)

*130~140 or 150 - Abyss Dragon Lake Lv 3 or Bio Lab or Scaraba Dungeon

*Please feel free to post corrections/ideas/suggestions Need help to compile other builds too.

woah, that's nice ones. but overly cost skills like inspi and GR, can y ou really kill many enemy within 90

secs while y ou're at risk of dy ing?

That's why it's also called a situational skill. /no1 Planning ahead and proper strategy before hand alway s

works, any thing is possible within 90 secs, then dy ing would not be an option.

Inspiration takes 1% Base EXP = 999,999 EXP and keep in mind to alway s conserve it.

damn crazy bulid. don't know if i'll ever get up that high.


BIade

Hey there. Can y ou please tell me a good fast leveling build? Stats and Skills. I believe I'm pretty much good

with gears but not sure which weapon to use


HayrohsLegacy

Crusaders/Paladins mostly level fast using AGI-Spear Quicken or mobbing w/Grand Cross (1-Handed

Swords)

Elemental Lances/Pikes are basic for Spear builds, then when y ou go job change to RG, get Overbrand Lv 5

sooner (some good weapons may be Brocca/Pole Axe) and mob>aoe kill>fly wing method still works. But

since theres Gramps Eden TIs, itll be faster. /no1

y ou can get two-hand spear+holy cross. pretty much easy leveling at GH when y ou reach 90++. equipping

2hand spear will make holy cross' damage doubled.

It depends how y ou play with y our guild and y our own sty le, either builds are good. Lacking Inspiration,

y ou need EXP for it and the time it takes to farm it makes some ppl get rid of it but y ea still depends to y our

build, with or without. /no1

Decided to go with the full support build with a slight change to piety /earth drive. Thanks!


falkenjeff

looked it up. it uses 1 mil exp at level 150, and y ou had 100 mil exp (rounded up by adding 1). is 100 mil


http://www.valkplayersguild.com/?page_id=351

http://www.valkplayersguild.com/?page_id=351



max, or is that just the max it will display ? (eg: could y ou have 200 mil exp, but have it show 100 mil

any way , but only up until the point that y ou use more than 100 mil exp, meaning if y ou use 102 mil it will

switch from display ing 100 mil to display ing 98 mil, because y ou really had 200 mil and now have 98 mil)?

reaperhack

hmm...

it's about equip. isn't nidd shadow garb better way than valk mant? or are y ou getting set?


HayrohsLegacy

If y ou wana tank better ny d garb is better but if y ou wana semi-kill stuffs with quick reflecting+alice shield

then a valk mant its still effective, being a RG play er for long time, I don't stick in 1 set or default gears, I

switch alot depends on what role I'll be doing; tanking/killing/reflecting/leveling /no1
