Royal Guard Alternate Sprite from jRO

Overview

The Royal Guard, or RG, is an order formed under King Von Schmidtz of Glast Heim, created to protect Midgard from chaos and any future evil that might rise.

They now come equipped with a mix of hard-hitting offensive skills and strong support abilities, making them a solid frontline class in all parts of the game. Their Sacrifice playstyle is still a reliable way to support party members and hasn’t lost its place over time.

Builds

Vanishing Point & Cannon Spear

This build focuses on spamming Vanishing Point while using Cannon Spear whenever it’s off cooldown. Achieving 193 attack speed (ASPD) is essential for maximizing your DPS output.

To further boost your damage, stack ranged modifiers, flat ATK, and ATK%. These directly affect the performance of both skills.

Pairing a high base defense shield with Shield Spell Level 1 gives a solid ATK boost that helps increase your overall damage.

Key equipment like the Fallen Protect Manteau [1], Awakened Aquatic Spear [2], and the Vanishing Cannon Set significantly improve the damage of both Vanishing Point and Cannon Spear, making them essential picks for this build.

Stat Points

Stat	Amount	Notes
STR	120~130	STR is the main damage stat and will boost Cannon Spear’s damage.
AGI	60~100	Get enough AGI to hit 193 attack speed (ASPD) with all your buffs and equipment.
VIT	80~100	Mainly for survivability.
INT	1~Optional	Additional INT for SP pool.
DEX	90~120	For hit rate, some attack speed (ASPD), and to acquire the bonus of Menblatt Card.
LUK	1~30	LUK for extra ATK.

Key Equipment

Pure Cannon Spear

Thanks to new gear, Royal Guards can now spam Cannon Spear with 0 cooldown. You can cast the skill non-stop, limited only by your attack speed.

Cannon Spear has a 2-second cooldown by default and currently does not crit, so critical stats aren’t necessary just yet. This will change with the future Royal Guard rework.

To achieve a 0-cooldown setup, you’ll need at least 3 of the following key items

Fallen Protect Manteau [1] & +11 Old Crown of Protection [1] (0.5 CD reduction)
+9 Vanishing Cannon Shadow Shoes (0.5 CD reduction)
Paladin Stone(Middle) + Royal Guard Stone(Garment) (0.5 CD reduction)
Guardian’s Shield [1] (1 CD reduction)
Platinum Arbitrator [1] (1 CD reduction)
Biolab Libra Diadem [1] + Fortridge [2] (0.5 CD reduction)

Just like Vanishing Point, you’ll need high attack speed (ASPD) to spam Cannon Spear efficiently. The faster your attack speed (ASPD), the smoother and faster your skill animation will be.

For stronger damage, focus on:

High STR – directly boosts Cannon Spear’s damage through its formula:
Damage (ATK) = [{Base Damage + (STR × Skill Level)} × (Base Level ÷ 100)]%
Ranged damage modifiers
Flat ATK and ATK% increases

This build is all about spamming Cannon Spear fast and hard. Just be mindful of your SP, since the skill can drain it quickly with constant use.

Suggested Equipment:

Earth Drive & Overbrand

This is a viable build for Royal Guards, made possible by the introduction of Shield Rings. Equipping two of them removes Earth Drive’s cooldown and gives a total of 60% after-cast delay reduction (30% per ring), making it possible to weave in Overbrand if you choose to.
To spam Earth Drive and Overbrand efficiently, you’ll need to hit 193 attack speed (ASPD) and stack enough after-cast delay reduction.

Stat Points

Stat	Amount	Notes
STR	120~130	STR is the main damage stat.
AGI	60~100	Get enough AGI to hit 193 attack speed (ASPD) with all your buffs and equipment.
VIT	80~100	Mainly for survivability.
INT	1~Optional	Additional INT for SP pool.
DEX	90~120	For hit rate & some attack speed (ASPD).
LUK	1~30	LUK for extra ATK.

Some players also invest in high INT to use items such as Seraphim Coronet or Lord of Royals.

Key Equipment

Exceed Break

Exceed Break was once a popular skill for WoE, valued for its ability to support the guild’s main stack and provide ground control, especially when paired with Devotion. While it can also be used in PvM, its effectiveness depends heavily on party composition and specific scenarios. These days, it’s considered more of a niche skill, with limited use depending on the strategy.

Stat Points

Stat	Amount	Notes
STR	100~120	STR is the main damage stat.
AGI	60~100	Get enough AGI to hit 193 attack speed (ASPD) with all your buffs and equipment.
VIT	80~100	Mainly for survivability.
INT	1~Optional	Additional INT for SP pool.
DEX	90 – 120	For hit rate, some attack speed (ASPD), and to acquire the bonus of Menblatt Card.
LUK	1~30	LUK for extra ATK.

Key Equipment
You will need Critical Damage and other physical attack-enhancing equipment such as:

Temporal Luk Boots [1] / Temporal Luk Boots
Temporal Ring [1] & Lucky Day
Physical Enhancer Ring [1] with Critical Damage option
Little Garden
Heart Card in Mouth & Gambler’s Seal
Arabian Manteau [1]
Temporal Agi Manteau [1] / Temporal Str Manteau [1]
Fallen Angel Wing [1] with Critical Lv4
Critical Stone (Garment) & Critical Stone (Lower), Critical Stone (Middle), Critical Stone (Upper)

Martyr’s Reckoning & Devotion

Martyr’s Reckoning once dominated the WoE scene, thanks to the introduction of Noble Mask. Similar to its pre-renewal counterpart, this build requires achieving 193 attack speed (ASPD) and maintaining a high HP pool to deal massive damage. It is commonly paired with Sropho Cards for their Crystallization effect, ensuring a target’s demise if the effect procs.

This build also works well with Devotion due to its high HP, but if a Royal Guard opts to use it, some fixed cast time (FCT) reduction may be necessary for smoother execution.

Stat Points

Stat	Amount	Notes
STR	50~100	STR will mainly be here for weight increasing purposes.
AGI	60~100	Get enough AGI to hit 193 attack speed (ASPD) with all your buffs and equipment.
VIT	100~120	You will need a lot of VIT to maximize your HP to increase your damage & tanking capability.
INT	1~Optional	Additional INT for cast time reduction.
DEX	90~120	For some attack speed (ASPD), and cast time reduction
LUK	1~30	LUK for status resistance

Key Equipment
You’re looking for items that will improve Max HP, attack speed, and casting time.

Gloria Domini/ Genesis Ray

With the introduction of items that support Gloria Domini and Genesis Ray, a magic build for Royal Guard has emerged. Key items include Themis Helm, Awakened Light Blade, Royal Guard Stone Set II, and Avaricia Encyclopedia.

The core idea is to spam Gloria Domini as fast as possible by achieving high attack speed (193 preferred), low to instant cast time, and equipping Themis Helm, which enables a chance to autocast Genesis Ray when using Gloria Domini. The Avaricia Encyclopedia further enhances this build by providing a chance to autocast Level 5 Gloria Domini upon casting Gloria Domini, effectively allowing a double proc for even more consistent Genesis Ray triggers.
