Author: Friday

Build Type: PvP

Build Purpose: Support/Tank build that can also semi-disable enemies

Pros & Cons

  • Pros:
    • High survivability
    • High reflect
    • Supports allies and can burn enemy SP
  • Cons:
    • Primarily support—does not deal much damage
    • Vulnerable to dispel
    • Gear- and switch-intensive playstyle

Stats

  • STR: 200
  • AGI: 140
  • VIT: 500
  • INT: 200 (enough to boost Sight Trasher damage for breaking traps)
  • DEX: 340
  • LUK: Remaining points

Gears & Cards

Headgears

  • Top: +9/+10 35% Demi-Reduction Helm (Gemini S58 card)
  • Top (Switch): Stormy Headphones ([SPICA]) – Lv.1 Storm Gust for breaking cloak.
  • Mid: Variant Wings with 30% ACD + 15% HP buff (Addax card)
  • Mid (Switch): Variant Wings with 30% ACD + anti-strip enchant + Addax – use when there is an enemy Stalker. Remember to wear a garment or shield with anti-strip because the enchant doesn’t cover strip shield.
  • Mid (Switch): Variant Wings with 30% ACD + 20% ACD enchant + Fused Kiel – for spamming skills (often Sight + Sight Trasher to clear traps). A budget alternative is 45% ACD-reduction wings with Fused Kiel.
  • Low: Light Chakra (Glorified Orc Hero card)
  • Low (Switch): Ignus Faatus or any lower HG with Wall of Fog effect (Glorified Orc Hero card). Use when surrounded by ranged attackers. Tip: you may use Lv.1 Grand Cross; the self-hit triggers WoF. Warning: GC does self-damage.
  • Low (Switch): Saint’s Ring (or any lower HG that lowers soft DEF by 30%) (Glorified Orc Hero card) – use when someone is attacking you with Thana and your reflect + lifesteal can’t keep up.
  • Note: If you plan to use Saint’s Ring and you’re still getting statused, change your headgear card combo to 2× Gemini + 1× Glorified Orc Hero, and equip Arctic Seal on your accessory.

Special Card

  • Berserk Lord Knight Card: Usually used in WoE—coordinate Dispel + Berserk to heal your HP. Not recommended to rely on in BG unless you trust the Professor in your team to Dispel. Can also boost HP and increase Sacrifice damage.

Armor

  • Main: +10 Divine Aegis ([Demi Freya Card]) – balanced defense and freeze protection with Arctic Seal.
  • Switch: Exile OL Armor ([Demi Freya Card]) – to counter lifesteal users; if they counter your reflect by lifestealing, you lifesteal harder.
  • Option: +10 unbreakable armor (e.g., Freya Robe) ([Fused Detale or Professor Card]) – anti-freeze/anti-status utility.
  • Option: +10 Lord’s Tunic OL ([Fused Hatii]) – strong versus magic users.
  • Note: If you don’t pair Light Chakra with Divine Aegis, ensure you have Arctic Seal + 500 BG games for anti-freeze effect.

Weapons

  • Main: +10 Exodia ([Nox + Fused Dracula + Fallen Valkyrie + Easter Papila]) – ideally with Coma enchant; anti-strip shield enchant is also nice.
  • Alternate: +10 Exodia ([3× Enhanced Archer Skeleton + Fallen Valkyrie]) – great for Coma procs.
  • Alternate (Switch): Combat Knife – use if you need more tankiness.
  • Alternate: Grimtooth (dagger) – not Death Grimtooth; purchasable at @go 48. Does not stack with Saint’s Ring (or similar auras). Good when you need to lower soft DEF against Thana users.
  • Alternate (Switch): Deathspade with 4× Enhanced Archer Skeleton – for pressuring tank builds; can also proc Coma.

Shields

  • Main: +8–10 Demi Freya Shield ([Hades Card])
  • Anti-Magic Options: +8–10 Libra-OL ([Hades]) or +8–10 Easter Shield ([Hades])

Garments

  • Main: +10 Giant Rabbit Garment ([Cautious Card]) – great in BG for Assumptio, magic reflect, and ranged reflect.
  • Defense: +10 Protector’s Guard / Daehyon ([Cautious Howard]) – anti-strip shield or more elemental reduction.
  • Utility: +10 Protector’s Guard / Daehyon ([Gertie]) – enables Close Confine.
  • Budget: Asprika (non-slotted)

Shoes

  • Main: +10 Modified Temporal VIT Boots ([Infernal Horn]) – preferred over Miguel card for extra fire resist.
  • Other Options: Sleipnir OL / Freya Sandals / Corrupted Eris Boots (unbreakable vs Tarot) + Infernal Horn card.
  • Enchantments: Muscle Fool, Lucky Day, or any HP enchant.

Accessories

  • Main: AOT-OL with Magic Essence 2 + 30k HP enchant (Pneuma GEM)
  • Secondary: Seal of Shelter ([Errende Ebecee Card]) – ideally 500 BG games for more resist.
  • Alternatives:
    • Revolver + Shotgun Buffalo combo for lifesteal
    • Evil Glove (Spider Web skill; also good for trap removal) + Sight GEM
    • Elite Gloves + Sight GEM
    • Sight GEM accessory (required for Sight Trasher and trap breaking)
    • NOTE I usually main Gem of Pneumna + Errende Ebcee card, because the pneuma proc chances stack giving you around 10% chance to pneuma which is good because ranged skills Like acid demo really hurt on high vit players like you as well as thana users. WOE on the otherhand you dont need to pneuma as much because your team is more coordinated, and so you meay opt for other accessory slots suech as: bone detale(fore ranged and melee redux), faceworm card (for more HP), vitality gem (for more HP): the last two items dont stack with themsleves

Skills

  • Pressure: Main disable skill—use on Energy Coat classes (Warlock/Professor); draining SP removes Energy Coat, prevents spam, and stops priests from healing.
  • Devotion: Main support skill to help teammates survive.
  • Sacrifice: Can secure kills; this build reaches ~10M HP so Sacrifice hurts players without Ghost element/high Neutral resist.
    • Do not use on enemies with high Perfect Dodge or on Safety Wall—you will miss and self-damage.
    • Test first: if you can lifesteal and don’t take heavy recoil, they’re likely not Ghost. Wait for Dispel (from Pressure proc or ally) before committing.
    • Use Magnum Break before Sacrifice for extra damage.
    • Use Auto Guard to cancel Sacrifice animation to spam faster.
  • Gospel: Commonly used to remove strip debuffs on yourself.
  • Auto Guard: Defensive buff.
  • Reflect Shield: Reflects melee attacks.
  • Defender: Reduces ranged damage; avoid using while chasing since it slows you and your Devotion target. Toggle on when stationary; turn off when you need to move.
  • Magnum Break: +20% damage buff; also clears traps.
  • Storm Gust: From Stormy Headphones—reveals cloaked enemies.
  • Sight + Sight Trasher: Breaks traps and reveals invisibility (requires Sight GEM).
  • Spider Web: From Evil Glove—immobilizes enemies.
  • Close Confine: From Gertie garment—locks enemies in place.
  • HSS: Revitalize: Extra healing (via HSS scroll).
  • Provoke: Situational. Reduces DEF (bad vs Thana) but can cancel E-Call.

Playstyle

  • Choose Devotion targets wisely: Don’t devo everyone or you’ll die. Stay behind your devo targets to avoid taking double sources of damage.
  • Don’t devo high-resist reflect types (e.g., Sura with Steel Body)—it will hurt you.
  • Prioritize flag/stone carriers; devo teammates opening enemy base with Sight; devo allies about to take key duels to swing the fight.
  • Trap removal: Use Sight Trasher with INT investment; Evil Glove adds Spider Web utility.
  • Pressure usage: Focus targets your team is bursting; also useful to drain priests’ SP.

Supplies Checklist

  • Undead Scroll (always use this)
  • Ghostring Scroll – especially vs Genetic (your high VIT makes Acid Demonstration still hurt; GR helps)
  • Holy Scroll
  • Box of thunder: the lower auras in the build dont give maxed out movement speed or no movement speed at all, so you have to use box of thunder to compensate
  • Tao Gunka Scroll (if you can afford it—for extra HP)
  • Cobwebs (if using Spider Web)
  • Fire Resistance Potions (vs Meteor Storm)
  • Yggdrasil Berries
  • Panacea
  • Flame of True Sight (Sight effect without switching accessories)

PETS

  • Any pet that provides 2% demi-human reduction, or an anti-sleep pet (if you don’t have anti-sleep in gear)
