Like every good guide, we start from the beginning. This Guide is to help you build up your Soldier Job Class in a fashion like Cross Defender Kami.
Kami was part of the Fallen Six Squad, and later became a powerful Champion that help lead the Principality Empire. She had earned the title of The Forsaken, but when forces against all odds she was known more by the way she would scream "KAMIKAZE" before entering battle.
As you'll learn many Cross Defenders helped shape and mold the diverse Job Classes that exist in the lands. Kami was one of those that shaped the Soldier and Champion Job Class.
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 a Heavy Sword, Two-Handed.
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 Kami Build you need to focus on several stats besides your STR. You will have to focus on your INT.
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)
INT stands for Intelligence and Wisdom.
- Adds Skill Attack
- Adds Energy Points
- Increases Energy recovery rate
- Increases mystic defense
- Increase M.O.B status effects
- Increases buff effectiveness
As a Kami Build your Skill Attack is what matter the most. You don't want to just hit an opponent with just a Skill. You want to cause good damage with you skills. As you start to level up it might become a good idea to raise CON and increase your Hit Rate a bit.
When reach Level 215 you should have Str 300, Int 300 and Con 175 (without equipment).
Soldier Skill Distribution
Skill Points are also part of your build, like Kami she focused all her skills on perfecting the Two-Handed Sword style. This caused her to become a great asset on the field. 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...
Kami would begin with the 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 you sword. We are then followed 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.
Kami would begin with the Two Handed Mastery and Two Handed Sword Mastery. These passive skills will increase the effectiveness of using a Heavy Sword.
You then continue with raising your next two combat skills Piercing Lunge and Junon's Voltage Crash.
Junon's Voltage Crash will lower an opponents accuracy and dodge rate.
The last skills raised on a Kami Build would be Howl, to lower enemy defense and Battle Howl, to lower even more 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 Kami 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 Quick Step. These skills will increase your damage with a Heavy Sword and your movement speed.
The next skills you are to raise are in an order. These are Geon Archangel Crumbler, Charge, Beserk and lastly Seismic Impact. Charge is specially essential for the Kami Build, as you read the equipment she used to carry, you will want this in order to increase your movement speed.
Once maxed out all of these skill you should proceed to increasing Champion Combat Mastery, Champion Spirit, Quest Attack, Onix Attack, Repose, Physical Training, Refreshment and Staminal Training. This would complete the Kami Build in Skills. If you have any remaining Skill Points, you feel free to use them as you wish.
Kami's Equipment Build
A Kami Build will require two very important things, Movement Speed and Attack Power.
A Soldier of this build will use Wings most of the time even in combat, this is because they will increase your movement speed.
They will also focus mainly on gathering armor and equipment that will raise their movement speed and attack power. Such as Precious Armors, Brave Armors or Legendary Armors. Many armors with appraisal also have movement speed increase.
The Weapon used by soldiers with such a build is a Two Handed Sword, or Heavy Sword. Hardened, Precious, Brave or with attack power appraisals. These weapons must also have a socket and always slotted with Diamonds.
The Jewelry used by a Kami Build must also be solely focused on Attack Power and slotted with Diamonds. Some say the Lava Ring Set is the best one for the job.
With this we conclude the Kami Soldier/Champion Build Guide. Hope it was useful for you, like Kami you will be ready to face on any opponent with speed and strong attack power. No one will resist the might of you Heavy Sword.
