Cannon Spear Royal Guard Guide by Rime

Introduction 

Welcome to my Cannon Spear Royal Guard Guide.

The Royal Guard is highly skilled in both up-close combat and defense. They wear heavy armor, use a variety of weapons, and excel at confronting enemies head-on while ensuring the safety of their friends no matter the circumstances. What makes the Royal Guard really special is how well they’ve mastered the spear. They can deal massive damage to enemies and still keep their team safe by absorbing and reducing the impact of damage.

Renowned for safeguarding its party members through the use of Sacrifice, a Royal Guard can alternatively embrace a path of aggression by making full use of its spear-oriented skill set. While there exist numerous potential builds for a Royal Guard, this guide will focus solely on the popular Vanishing Point/Cannon Spear build.

Changelog

Cannon Spear 

With the introduction of items that reduce the cooldown of Cannon Spear, Royal Guards can now achieve zero cooldown without needing to grind for an enchanted Fortridge (EDDA Biolab) with Trial Diadem.
Key items include the following:

• Guardian’s Shield
• Fallen Protect Manteau
• Vanishing Cannon Shadow Shoes.
• Arbitrator Shawl
• Platinum Arbitrator [1]
• Biolab Libra Diadem [1] when paired with Fortridge [2]

Achieving high STR, skill & physical/ranged damage modifiers, and ATK is essential for dealing high damage.

Some additional info:

• You will need high attack speed to spam Vanishing Point and Cannon Spear efficiently.
• Thanks to the attack buff from Shield Spell 1, we can achieve a high equipment attack (eATK) without requiring significant investment in flat ATK equipment. This makes gearing up easier. With that in mind, look for equipment and cards that enhance your range modifier, as well as increase damage against specific classes, sizes and races.
• This build struggles against monsters that uses NPC_AGIUP. Luckily, we have some equipment that can help us get more hit rate and perfect hit like Imperial Ear Wing.
• Cannon Spear will usually stack a lot of STR stat to maximize its damage.
• Using Inspiration skill will turn you into a demi-god, improving all of your stats for 90 seconds.

Stats

Skill Information

In this section, you will find the skills commonly used by Cannon Spear Royal Guards.

Important: When building for Vanishing Point and 0 cooldown Cannon Spear, it is absolutely necessary to get Cavalry Mastery Level 5 if you plan to use a mount (Peco Peco Ride). This is to avoid the massive attack speed penalty incurred while mounted.

Vanishing Point 

Attack long distance enemy that is within 7 cells. Increase Accuracy rate as skill level gets higher. Give additional damage depending on Bash level. Requires a spear to cast.

Cannon Spear  

Attack all enemies in a straight line up to 11 cells (width 3 cells) from the caster. Increase Damage depending on caster’s STR. Must have spear equipped to cast.

Earth Drive

Brandish your shield to causing all targets in an area to receive Earth elemental damage. Targets hit will have their defense and attack speed reduced by 25%. The weight of your shield can increase the damage dealt.

This skill is quite useful as it can remove ground-based skills like Pneuma, Magnetic Earth, and others. Level 3 Earth Drive should suffice for now.

Pinpoint Attack

Quickly move close to the target and hit its vital point. Has a chance to cause different status change or other effect depending on the skill level used. The caster’s Agility can increase the damage. Deals critical damage regardless of the user’s crit rate.

Piety

Endows you or a party member and nearby party member’s armors with Holy element. Consumes 2 Holy Waters.

Pretty useful if you don’t have access to Holy Armor scrolls.

Inspiration

Increases your accuracy, stats, attack and MaxHP. Costs 1% of your experience to cast. Consumes your HP and SP over time. 1% of your damage will be reflected back to you. The skill deactivates when your SP reaches 0.

This skill is what makes Royal Guards feel like demigods in both PvP and PvE/PvM. The stat increases and immunity to specific status effects make this skill a must-have. When Inspiration is active, it allows the Royal Guard to use Hesperus Lit and Ray of Genesis without the Banding requirement. At max level (175), the EXP consumption will be 1m per cast instead of 1%.

One downside of using this buff is the damage recoil. To put it simply, you take 1% of the damage you deal. However, this can also be used to trigger enchantments like Bear’s Power.

Negative effects:

Immunity to the following debuffs:

Prestige

Chance to completely evade damage from magic attacks while increasing physical defense. The magic evasion rate depends on your stats. Your defending Aura level influences the physical defense rate.

This skill provides additional survivability through its defense increase and magic evasion.

I’ve added a Prestige dodge chance calculator at the bottom of this page.

Most of the time, Royal Guards without Inspiration skill will still get Shield Spell at level 1, mainly due to the equipment attack buff.

Sample Skill Build

For the Swordsman skill tree, these are the most common skills you’ll need to get. There’s really no point in taking the Sword Masteries, as we won’t be using a sword for this build.

In the Crusader/Paladin skill tree, you have some flexibility in what to take. However, Cavalier Mastery Level 5 is mandatory if you plan to use mounts, as it removes the significant attack speed penalty while mounted.

Personally, I don’t really recommend maxing Guard since it interrupts attacks when it triggers. Spear Quicken can also be left at Level 6 if you don’t plan to use Overbrand. After the skill rework, each level mainly increases critical rate and flee, so you can save points depending on your priorities.

During the leveling phase as a Paladin, you can pick up Rapid Smiting if you’re having trouble killing monsters with Holy Cross. Just keep in mind that you’ll need a way to reset your skills later on, especially if you change your mind mid-leveling or after advancing to Royal Guard.

Lastly, Devotion isn’t required for this build unless you intend to support party members.
However, if you choose to use Shield Rings, picking up Lv. 5 Devotion is mandatory to fully utilize the ring’s effect, granting you +5 STR/INT/DEX, as well as 100 flat ATK.

The Royal Guard skill tree is a bit more straightforward. The main priorities are getting at least Shield Spell Level 1, and maxing Vanishing Point and Cannon Spear. The rest of the skills are optional and can be picked based on your specific needs.

During the leveling phase, Pinpoint Attack is useful against monsters with high Flee or those that have used Power Up or Increase Agility. It always lands as a critical hit regardless of your Crit rate and benefits from critical damage boosts.

Prestige is another option, as it can stack with Inspiration. You can activate Inspiration first to gain bonus stats, which can increase your chance to dodge using Prestige. As explained in the Prestige skill section, you can use the calculator linked here: Prestige Dodge Chance Calculator.

Inspiration is also a viable skill, though it may be difficult to use early on since it consumes experience and inflicts self-damage when attacking. This makes it more suitable for endgame content like PvP/WoE, Memorial Dungeons/Instances, or field and dungeon boss hunting.

If you want to plan ahead, you can use Divine Pride’s Skill Simulator to map out your desired skill path.

Ideal Cards to Use

Here are some cards you will normally see in this build.

Resistance against elemental, racial, and size attributes is also crucial. Therefore, if you find yourself facing a deadly MVP monster and possess cards and gear that can enhance your survivability, make sure to utilize them.

Useful Shadow Gear Sets

Shadow gears play a major role in enhancing your Royal Guard’s stats, so getting them is a must.

Below are examples of shadow gears that you can use:

High-end Shadow Gears

• Racial Penetration Weapon Shadow Set
• Almighty Shadow Earring / Almighty Shadow Pendant
• Blue Physical Shadow Set
• Maximum Mammoth (Armor, Shield, Shoes set)

Royal Guard Shadow

As of May 1, 2024, Shadow Gear Enchanting has been implemented to the server. This feature allows you to randomly get a stat based on the enchanting table. Ideal enchantments are ASPD and range damage.
Shadow Gear Enchanting – THE ROGGH LIBRARY

Acquiring the penetration set will assist you in defeating monsters with high defense more easily. For instance, the Root of Corruption in OGH possesses a defense of 333. As a rule of thumb, if a monster has 200 defense, use penetration.

For example, the Royal Guard below opted for Maximum Shadows and relies solely on the defense-piercing effect from the Royal Guard Shadow Weapon and Vanishing Cannon Shield.

Consumables

These are the consumables that will enhance your Royal Guard. If you’re facing difficulties in reaching 193 ASPD, there are consumables available that provide a flat ASPD bonus to assist you.

• Power Booster
• Red Booster
• Booster Wine
• Ultimate Cook (Does not stack with Almighty)
• Small/Medium Life Potion
• Elemental Proof Potions (Resist Fire/Water/Earth/Wind)
• Berserk Potion
• Enrich Celermine Juice
• Summer Perfume (ASPD)
• Elemental Converters
• AGI/Blessing scroll

Costume Stones

Costume stones also play a crucial role in enhancing your Royal Guard. Need that extra ASPD to hit 193? opt for an ASPD stone. The other options are geared towards increasing your damage or utility.

• ASPD Stone (Garment or Upper)
• Range Stone
• ATK% Stone
• Size Stone (Medium/Small/Large)
• HP/SP Absorb Stone

Royal Guard Stone Set

Royal Guard Stone (Garment) [Vanishing Point] damage +15%. Equip with Paladin Stone (Upper), Has 2% chance to absorb 1% of physical damage dealt to enemy as SP.

If you require additional attack speed and don’t need the SP leeching effect of the garment and upper stone combo, you can opt for the ASPD Upper Stone instead of the Paladin Stone (Upper).
