== Builds ==
There are a few primary builds of Crusaders, although there are enough skill points to become a mix of the builds:
* Grand Cross, which deals Holy physical and magic damage to the enemy.
* Holy Cross, which will use the [[Holy Cross]] skill repeatedly for high single target damage.
* AGI-Spear, which deals rapid melee / CRIT damage at close range,
* Sacrifice, which allows the crusader to take damage in place of an ally.
* Shield, which deals ranged damage from afar.
=== [[Grand Cross]] ===
Stat Build:
* [[STR]]: 60-80
* [[AGI]]: 1
* [[VIT]]: 60-80
* [[INT]]: 60-80
* [[DEX]]: 40-60
* [[LUK]]: 10-30
Skill Build:
* [[Increase HP Recovery]] 10 (higher recovery from potions)
* [[Magnum Break]] 10 (this is the primary leveling skill of most until GC is learned)
* [[Provoke]] 9-10
* [[Bash]] 5-10 (will be replaced by [[Holy Cross]] later on anyways)
* [[Endure]] 5-10 (raising the skill level does not raise the amount of hits ignored, only the length of the skill)
* [[Sword Mastery]] Optional 10
(Crusader)
* [[Faith]] 10
* [[Holy Cross]] 6-10 (High single target damage, cheap SP cost)
* [[Grand Cross]] 10 (Can adjust to a lower level within hotkeys if already one-shotting monsters)
* [[Peco Peco Ride]] 1 (Faster movement)
* [[Sacrifice]] Optional 1-5 (For party situations)
* [[Guard]] Optional 6-8 (Tanking for parties)
* [[Cavalier Mastery]] Optional 3-5
[[Grand Cross]], which is often abbreviated [[Grand_Cross|GC]], is a skill that relies on both the Crusader's ATK and MATK to deal damamge to the enemy. Getting both [[STR]] and [[INT]] is recommended for higher [[ATK]] and [[MATK]], which also helps with [[Weight Limit]] as well as SP Regeneration. [[VIT]] is important for mobbing multiple monsters to level. [[DEX]] is important to a Grand Cross Crusader because it reduces cast time.
=== [[Holy Cross]] ===
Stat Build:
* [[STR]]: 80-99
* [[AGI]]: 1-40
* [[VIT]]: 60-80
* [[INT]]: 40-60
* [[DEX]]: 40-60
* [[LUK]]: 10-30
Skill Build:
* [[Increase HP Recovery]] 10 (higher recovery from potions)
* [[Magnum Break]] 10 (primary AoE leveling skill during the [[Swordsman]] phase)
* [[Provoke]] 9-10
* [[Bash]] 5-10 (will be replaced by [[Holy Cross]] later on anyways)
* [[Endure]] 5-10 (raising the skill level does not raise the amount of hits ignored, only the length of the skill)
* [[Sword Mastery]] Optional 10
(Crusader)
* [[Holy Cross]] 10 (High single target damage, cheap SP cost)
* [[Faith]] 10
* [[Grand Cross]] 6-10 (Still a useful AoE)
* [[Peco Peco Ride]] 1 (Faster movement)
* [[Sacrifice]] Optional 1-5 (For party situations)
* [[Guard]] Optional 6-8 (Tanking for parties)
* [[Cavalier Mastery]] Optional 3-5
[[Holy Cross]] is a powerful single target skill with a low SP cost. Two handed spears are recommended for leveling with this skill for double damage.
=== [[Spear Quicken|AGI-Spear Crusader]] ===
Stat Build:
* [[STR]]: 70-90
* [[AGI]]: 80-90 (for ASPD bonus)
* [[INT]]: 1-40
* [[VIT]]: 60-80
* [[DEX]]: 30-50 (high DEX is not needed if near 100% [[CRIT]] rate)
* [[LUK]]: 20-60
Skill Build:
* [[Increase HP Recovery]] 10
* [[Bash]] 10
* [[Provoke]] 10
* [[Magnum Break]] 9-10
* [[Endure]] 9-10
(Crusader)
*  [[Faith]] 10
*  [[Holy Cross]] 10
*  [[Spear Mastery]] 10
*  [[Spear Quicken]] 10
*  [[Peco Peco Ride]] 1
*  [[Cavalier Mastery]] 5
* [[Sacrifice]] Optional 1-5 (For party situations)
A popular build for newer players without as much funds. The AGI sader focuses on single target meleeing, as opposed to the other builds that focus either on AoE mob training, single target skill spamming, or party support. This means that fewer HP / SP [[Healing Items]] would need to be used. <!--The [[AGI]] in this build also applies to a Crusader's 3rd job role: the [[Royal Guard]], which takes advantage of the [[ASPD]] for a powerful single target skill, [[Vanishing Point]]. --> Players can choose to use [[CRIT]] gear to bring out more damage in this build, as it benefits greatly due to its attack-speed boosts.
<!--
Equipment Recommendations:
* {{Item |id=1466 Crescent Scythe }}
* {{Item |id=2650 Morrigane's Belt }}
* {{Item |id=2651 Morrigane's Pendant }}
* {{Item |id=5127 Morrigane's Helm }}
The player can also choose to use the {{Item |id=2339 Pantie }} / {{Item |id=2522 Undershirt }} combo or the {{Item |id=2417 Fricco's Shoes }} / {{Item |id=2353 Odin Blessing }} / {{Item |id=2516 Falcon Muffler }} combo, if the player cannot afford a {{Item |id=2519 Morrigane's Manteau }}.
-->
=== [[Sacrifice]] ===
Stat Build
* [[STR]]: 40-80 (for solo leveling at least in the early stages, or [[Weight Limit]])
* [[AGI]]: 1-40
* [[VIT]]: 70-90
* [[INT]]: 1-40
* [[DEX]]: 40-60
* [[LUK]]: 10-30
Skill Build:
* [[Increase HP Recovery]] 10
* [[Bash]] 10
* [[Provoke]] 10
* [[Magnum Break]] 9-10
* [[Endure]] 9-10
(Crusader)
* [[Faith]] 10
* [[Holy Cross]] 6+
* [[Grand Cross]] 4+
* [[Guard]] 8-10
* [[Smite]] 3
* [[Shield Boomerang]] 3
* [[Shield Reflect]] 5+
* [[Sacrifice]] 5
Pure [[Sacrifice]] builds for a Crusader are more used as a very helpful utility skill for protecting the squishy classes in the party. [[Sacrifice]] should not be seen as a "build" but just another skill for Crusader class characters to acquire (it is actually so helpful to parties that every Crusader / [[Paladin]] should invest at least one point in it). Crusaders are more concerned with leveling as quickly as possible, so it is recommended to utilize one of the leveling builds that are able to solo or kill monsters on their own. However, [[Sacrifice]] is very useful in party situations and any offensive build is able to fit this into their skill build. High [[VIT]] is recommended for a higher HP pool to take more damage.
=== [[Shield Boomerang|Shield]] ===
Stat Build:
* [[STR]]: 70-90
* [[AGI]]: 1-40
* [[VIT]]: 70-90
* [[INT]]: 1-40
* [[DEX]]: 40-60
* [[LUK]]: 10-30
Skill Build:
* [[Increase HP Recovery]] 10
* [[Bash]] 10
* [[Magnum Break]] 9-10
* [[Provoke]] 10
* [[Endure]] 9-10
(Crusader)
* [[Faith]] 10
* [[Guard]] 5+
* [[Smite]] 3
* [[Shield Boomerang]] 5
* [[Shield Reflect]] 10
* [[Defending Aura]] 5
* [[Peco Peco Ride]] 1
* [[Cavalier Mastery]] 5
* [[Sacrifice]] Optional 1-5 (For party situations)
<!--For a crusader that will level using a Soul-Link and [[Shield Boomerang]], it may be possible to forgo high [[DEX]] in favor of other stats, as [[Shield Boomerang]] never misses when under the influence of a Soul-Link.
In order to gain the best DPS with a Soul-Link, 182 attack speed is the ideal. This has to do with the animation delay of the skill. Nothing more than 182 attack speed will help when using Linked Shield Boomerang.-->
Remember to use heavier shields to achieve more DPS using [[Smite]] and [[Shield Boomerang]]; it adds to the damage when using those skills. The weight '''does''' add to the total damage.

:''Main article: [[Equipment]]''
The Equipment article lists some general all purpose equipment that is useful through the PVM phase and also for endgame use as well.
=== Weapons ===
After considering what requirement skills have (some skills can only be used with certain weapon types), the Control Panel Item Search is very useful. Generally, for physical classes (both melee and ranged), something with high [[ATK]] is best. For magic classes, something with high [[MATK]] is best.

Overview

Crusader.jpg

Crusaders are a fine blend of physical strength and faith-driven magic prowess, making them a versatile class. They are capable of melee combat with a spear or a sword and shield, of playing a supportive role in parties with beneficial magic skills, and of sacrificing their health to wield powerful holy magic. Knowing this, they can be built more like a mage than a warrior, or a classic favorite is to play the crusader like a tank. What makes this class so popular is the versatility, it's natural aim towards fighting the Undead, and its centralization around having high VIT and Defense.

Job Change Guide

See Crusader Job Change Guide for detailed information.

Changing into a Crusader from a Swordman requires the player to complete a number of tasks:

  • Item Collection
  • Endurance Test
  • Written Test
  • Battle Test

After completing these tests, the player will be transformed into a Crusader. Most of this takes place inside of the Prontera Castle. (234,314)

Tactics

Recovering HP or Healing Items

When mobbing or tanking groups of monsters, especially for AoE leveling, Healing Items WILL need to be consumed and often even spammed. One popular healing item is Fresh Fish due to its cheap cost and low weight. It can be purchased from the Chef's Assistant in the center of Prontera (156, 212) as well as other locations for only 250z each (190z with max Discount).
