"Tremble before Heaven's Judgement!"

With the impending doom of twilight just over the horizon, Swordsmen who have pure hearts and strong will rise above the clash of battle and take the call of the Holy Warrior. They are embodiment of holiness imbued in steel and strike through the evil hearts of demons and all foul beings. They protect the weak, laying their lives for the defense of others just because duty calls for it. All agents of darkness fear the Crusader, epitome of light.

The Crusader class is one of the jobs a Swordsman can choose from upon reaching at least Job Level 50. The Crusader has a plethora of defensive shield skills which can be used to both protect and to attack. The Crusader also a master of Holy techniques, capable of using Holy Cross against an enemy. They can even use Grand Cross to send a mob of demons straight to hell. They may also train with the spear, gaining the ability to swing the weapon into a blinding flurry of piercing jabs. They are also capable of healing wounded allies and even use their own bodies to shield their comrades.

Builds

Poster 9

Grand Cross Mobber

  • STR: 1-10
  • AGI: 1
  • INT: 80-99
  • VIT: 70-80
  • DEX: 50-80
  • LUK: 1

Skills:

Other suggested skills:

One of the most famous builds, this Crusader type focuses on the skill Grand Cross to deal tremendous holy damage against undead and dark element monsters. Since Grand Cross damage is reliant on the ATK and MATK of the Crusader, and since MATK rises higher, this build invests more on the INT stat rather than the STR stat. A high amount of VIT is also required to be able to survive the mob damage and GC kickback. A decent DEX, ranging from a total of 60 to 90 points is also ideal to reduce GC casting time. Heal is maximized in this build and is required in order to heal the damage taken by the Crusader.

Devotion Crusader

  • STR: 30-50
  • AGI: 1
  • INT: 1-20
  • VIT: 80-99
  • DEX: 60-80
  • LUK: 1

Skills:

The build maxes the VIT stat in order to gain more HP for sponging other characters with Devotion. A decent to high DEX should also be acquired in order to cast Devotion fast. The remaining points are to be invested in STR to provide additional attack damage and more carrying capacity, with a few points in INT to improve Max SP and SP regeneration.

The Devotion Crusader used to be the main sponge in siege, dungeons, and MvP hunts. However, their Max HP is not up to par with that of the Paladin, and the Crusader may not be capable of sponging in some places the transcendent version can. Nevertheless, this build is still invaluable to parties wanting to engage harder enemies. With the proper members, this build can party in more dangerous dungeons and level up quickly.

VIT Shield

  • STR: 70-99
  • AGI: 1
  • INT: 1-20
  • VIT: 80-99
  • DEX: 40-60
  • LUK: 1

Skills:

  • Auto Guard
  • Reflect Shield
  • Defender
  • Shield Boomerang
  • Shield Charge

Other suggested skills:

The Vitality Shield build is the most solid Crusader setup, capable of tanking monsters and MvPs. It is able to deal great damage against single targets and defend and return the damage dealt to him. Shield Boomerang and Shield Charge also provide other offensive options aside from Bash. Pecopeco Riding and Holy Cross are also suggested. This build can also use auto-cast equipment and cards(ex. Injustice Carded Weapon, Bongun Carded Accessory) since they can be triggered every time damage is returned by Reflect Shield.

AGI Shield

  • STR: 70-90
  • AGI: 80-99
  • INT: 1-20
  • VIT: 10-30
  • DEX: 40-50
  • LUK: 1

Skills:

  • Auto Guard
  • Defender
  • Shield Boomerang
  • Shield Charge

Other suggested skills:

The Agility variant of the Shield Crusader focuses more on dodging opponents with high FLEE. If any attack does come through it has a 30% chance of being blocked by Auto Guard. The HP of this build is still pretty decent, with Faith adding and additional 2000 HP it can reach 11,000 MHP. It also has a higher ASPD and paired with the high ATK because of the STR stat, this build can be a decent to good DPS character. Reflect Shield may be beneficial but not required in this build since it is dodging most attacks. Pecopeco Riding and Holy Cross are other skills that may be considered. The disadvantage of this build compared to the Vitality variant is that Heal and Potions do not recover as much HP and it is not capable of handling huge mobs. It is also more vulnerable to negative status effects and magic attacks.

Hybrid Shielder

  • STR: 70-90
  • AGI: 60-80
  • INT: 1
  • VIT: 50-60
  • DEX: 40-50
  • LUK: 1

Skills:

  • Auto Guard
  • Defender
  • Shield Boomerang
  • Shield Charge
  • Reflect Shield
  • Holy Cross

Other suggested skills:

The Hybrid build mixes the best of both worlds for a shield type crusader. Dealing tones of damage and reflecting them, having a chance to dodge them or guard them, this is the ultimate tanking build you can get. Having a mid-high agi means high aspd. ASPD is important for a swordsman class because most of their skills' delay can be reduced by ASPD. Holy Cross can be your main damaging skill, a Holy type attack, this means it bypasses a Immune Garment and deals extra damage to Undead and Shadow types. If you have soul link, Shield Boomerang can be your powerful range attack. Linking a crusader increases the damage of Shield Boomerang by 300% and it never misses.

AGI Spear

  • STR: 70-90
  • AGI: 80-99
  • INT: 1-20
  • VIT: 10-30
  • DEX: 40-50
  • LUK: 1-90

Skills:

Other suggested skills:

  • Heal
  • Demon Bane
  • Holy Cross

A build meant to hit hard and hit fast. The Agility Spear Crusader uses 2 handed spears in combat, and with their Spear Quicken buff can hit enemies with blinding speed. Abandoning all defensive skills altogether in order to increase their DPS, this AGI build can hit the coveted 190 ASPD mark if equipped with proper equipment. Spears also suffer less size reduction penalties compared to 2 handed swords and can achieve higher damage each hit. The Crusader may allocate the rest of the skill points to get Heal in order to increase field survivability. They may also desire to get Demon Bane in order to increase their damage against Demon and Undead enemies further. The disadvantage of this build is the lack of anti-mobbing skills except for Magnum Break, leaving flight the only option when faced with a very huge mob.

Spell Auto-Cast Shielder

  • STR: 1-10
  • AGI: 1
  • INT: 70-90
  • VIT: 70-80
  • DEX: 40-60
  • LUK: 1

Skills:

Other suggested skills:

Reflect Shield opens up a new type of build for Crusaders. Since it is considered as a skill attack whenever it returns damage, attack-triggered skills in equipment can be activated every time the Crusader is hit while Reflect Shield is activated. The Spell Auto-Cast Shielder build is based on this premise, and is an interesting but tricky build to make. This type of Crusader should only be attempted with the proper equipment(Fireblend and Ice Falchion at the very least). The stat build is much like the VIT Shield type, however high INT is desirable instead of STR since damage output is not reliant on normal attacks. The Crusader hopes to activate the auto-attack of the equipment every time he or she attacks and is attacked. Heal may be taken since it is capable of recovering a lot in this build. Grand Cross may also be considered to provide an extra offensive option and as a mob control skill. And Pecopeco Riding may provide the extra speed needed to find or escape enemies, and provide an additional 1000 carrying capacity.
