Asch’s Soldier Build

Cross Defender Asch is not one of the most famous of the Principality Empire, but he was in fact part of the Fallen Six for a brief time. This Guide is to help you build up your Soldier Job Class in a fashion he would approve of.

Asch like some of the great players of DOTC was part of the Fallen Six Squad, perhaps the one less known to people, even in the Principality Empire. He might not be well known but he trained side by side with Quest, Raisco and Renegade. Well let's not forget Cross Defenders are a breed on their own. So his strength is nothing to joke about.

Let's face it as you'll learn many Cross Defenders helped shape and mold the diverse Job Classes that exist in the lands.

Let's begin with the basics. As a defender you should know the diverse stats that are needed for your character. As a soldier you of course know Strength is your main stat. Here is a small list of all six:

1. Strength (STR) = Increases a Defenders Health Points, Defense, Attack Power and Weight.
2. Dexterity (DEX) = Increases Dodge Rate, Attack Speed and Attack Power with Dual Wielded Weapons.
3. Intelligence and Wisdom (INT) = Increases Energy (Mana Points), Mystic Defense and Mystic Attack Power.
4. Concentration (CON) = Increases Attack Accuracy, Attack Power with Range Weapons and Crafting Success.
5. Charisma and Charm (CHA) = Increases Drop Rate of Items, N.P.C Interaction, M.O.B Interaction, S.N.P.C Interaction, Demon Interaction and Drill Success Rate.
6. Sense and Sensibility (SEN) = Increases the rate of Critical, Attack Power, Quality of Crafting and Refine Success Rate. Decreases the rate of Critical done by your opponents.

Now let's begin: Job Quest

As a Visitor with aspiration to become a Soldier you will find yourself fighting in the Adventurer's Plain. The best way to level up to ten is by going to the nearest Monster Farm. This is a location where you can locate a bunch of monsters together, sometimes accompanied by a Giant. Remain in this location, with a Party Level 50 to grind quickly. With every level you gain focus on raising your STR stat. This is very important for you. You will also need to get an Axe or Spear.

Once you reach level ten it is time to head towards Mairard. This Crazy Old Man will give you a quest, one you should definitely do quickly. He will give you an Identification which is to be given to Warren in the Canyon City.

Warren says you cannot become a Soldier unless you receive a recommendation. You should talk to Leonard in Canyon City in order to obtain one.

Leonard wants you to collect 10 HoneyBee Stingers as part of his test to prove you're worthy of becoming a Soldier. Now he wants you to fight Elder Pumpkins and bring him 3 Pumpkin Seeds. At last, Leonard has written a recommendation letter for you. With this, Warren will trust you enough to be a Soldier.

Stat Distribution

In order to do a Asch Build you need to focus on several stats besides your STR. You will have to focus on your SEN.

STR stands for Strength.

  • Adds Attack Power to One- Handed Weapons
  • Adds Attack Power to Two Handed Weapons
  • Adds Attack Power to Launchers
  • Adds Attack Power to Dual Wielded Weapons
  • Adds Attack Power to Staffs
  • Adds Attack Power to Crossbows and Bow guns
  • Adds Health Points
  • Adds Defense points
  • Adds Max Weight (WT)

SEN stands for Sense and Sensibility.

  • Adds Attack Power to Mace and Axe
  • Adds Critical Rate points
  • Increase Defense Points against Critical Points

As a Asch Build your Critical is what matter the most. You don't want to just hit an opponent but deal massive critical damage to slow him down.

When reach Level 115 you should have Str 182 and Sen 182 (without equipment).

Soldier Skill Distribution

Skill Points are also part of your build, like Asch he focused all his skills on perfecting the Two-Handed Sword style. This caused him to become a great asset on the field and even breakthrough many enemy fortifications. Certain skills require more SP than others, and some can reach up to level 18. The Skills that Require 2 SP are known as Mega Skills.

Let's begin with a Soldier Skill Needs. As you start from level 10-50 you will need to raise certain skills that will need a lot of work. In total you will have 41 Skill Points to use. Choose wisely...

Let's begin with  Weapon Mastery, Triple Attack and Power Overflow.
These three are essential when you are in a low level for Triple Attack will be your first Combat Skill as a Soldier. You will also want Power Overflow so that you can hit your opponents harder with your mighty axe. Let's followe by the Akram Alertness, a requirement for using Bolt Wreck.
Bolt Wreck should also be learned as soon as possible, this is a Mega Skill. It will be one of your strongest attacks and also stuns your opponents.

We continue the Skills with the ones you will need to raise from level 50-100. Be mindful of these skills, don't waste your skill points.

We can begin with Two Handed Mastery and Two Handed Sword Mastery. These passive skills will increase the effectiveness of using a Heavy Swords.
You then continue with raising your next two combat skills Piercing Lunge, Howl and Junon's Voltage Crash.
Howl is a area effect skill which will lower the defense of the enemy around you.
Junon's Voltage Crash will allow you to hit a to lower their accuracy and dodge rate.

Now for part two: Second Job Class Quest

You have made it to level 100! That is a great achievement in the ever difficult world of Defenders of the Cross. Now it's time for you to become a Champion. Let's start as you go visit Darren to do the Job Class Quest.

Before giving you the Second Job, Darren wants you to meet Crune, a Weapon Merchant in Junon. Now head on over to Crune as he tells you a story.

The world is beginning to forget the legend of Lucid, one great Defender. To revive his memory in the hearts of the people, you must find Lucid's lost crown. It's heard that people saw Supreme Krawfy King with Lucid's Crown. Once you find it, the story will continue... There's a story about Lucid where his sword was shattered after he drove it in the ground to signify his second expedition. You should talk to Leonard, whose family has been charged with keeping the sword fragments, to see if you can find the truth. Now head on to Visit Leonard in the Canyon City.

Leonard has told you that the Supreme Goblin Warriors stole the broken pieces of Lucid's sword after they were hidden in the Goblin Cave. You are now needed to join a Raid, with a clan that heads into the 2nd level of the Goblin Cave and find all 5 Fragments of Lucid's Sword. Leonard will be greatly pleased that you found all the pieces of Lucid's Sword. Now you should go to Breezy Hills and ask Mairath to restore Lucid's Sword.

Mairath said that the Token of Friendship is necessary to restore Lucid's Sword. You might be able to find the Token of Friendship in the Gorge of Silence where the Supreme Stone Golems may have dug it up. Now let's find and fight the Supreme Stone Golem. Finish that quickly and Mairath has restored Lucid's Sword using the sword fragments and the Token of Friendship. Although the idea of keeping the sword is tempting, you should donate it to the Kingdom's Museum by speaking to Jones.

Jones has written a recommendation for you. Show it to Darren in Junon Polis so you that you will be able to change to the Second Job. Congratulations on your promotion to Champion.

Champion Skill Distribution

The Asch Build consisted of many specific skills that you must focus on as a Champion. From now on you must focus all your skill points since level 100-300 on increasing the following:

We'll start with the four basic passives. Advanced Two Handed Mastery, Advanced Two Handed Sword Mastery, Battle Sense Mastery and Champion Combat Mastery. These skills will increase your damage with a Sword.
The next skills you are to raise are in an order. These are Geon Archangel Crumpler, Combat Resilience, Repose, Champion Spirit, Onix Attack, and lastly Combat Cry. Onix Attack will allow you to do damage at a distance as well as slow your opponents down.

Once maxed out all of these skill you should proceed to increasing Seismic Impact, Beserk, Defense Training, Quick Step, Repose, Physical Training, Refreshment and Staminal Training. This would complete the Asch Build in Skills. If you have any remaining Skill Points, you feel free to use them as you wish.

Asch's Equipment Build

A Asch Build will require one very important things, Critical Attack Power.

The Soldier of this build will use Back shields most of the time even in combat, this is because they will increase your defense.
They will also focus mainly on gathering armor and equipment that will raise their Critical, Sen or Str. Such as Legendary Armors, Brave Armors or Chivalrous Armors. Many armors with appraisal also have critical increase.
The Weapon used by soldiers with such a build is a Two Handed Sword. Unique, Chivalrous, Brave, Legendary or with critical, str and sen appraisals. These weapons must also have a socket and always slotted with either Tanzanite or Emeralds.
The Jewelry used by a Asch Build must also be solely focused on Critical and slotted with Tanzanite. Some say the Arua Set or Hebarn Set are the best one for the job.

With this we conclude the Asch Soldier Build Guide. Hope it was useful for you, like Asch you will be ready to face on any opponent with attack speed and strong attack power. No one will resist the might of you Critical Strikes.
