probably the decrease is just really low? i actually took it during iCBT2 and using it against monster… not much of a differences, when i use it against a player, i was a barbarian already then and the other player was a linker? it doesnt seem to bother the player much either.
It might be really good if it scales with skill level to at least 50 INT/SPR and if it isn’t rank 1 or 2 status aliment. Otherwise it’s truly useless.
Fletcher C3 has the same status effect, so if it was useless it would’ve made fletchers C3 more viable.
if u are going for 2handed, u have another shock skil in doppel c2. so i guess u dont really need crown.
Are you sure the stats are correct? In the skill video shock icon don’t appear. Also description says about stun, but on nexon site there is nothing said about stun nor shock. So Crown might still be a good option.
probably its correct, maybe it was added recently
If it works like Fletchers Divine Machine Arrow (formely Singijeon) with attribute, then:
He also mentions a video from where he based his statement:
Fletcher C2 Test - Magic Arrow
I think that all status effects work the same way. But maybe numbers are different (since it can be increased through attribute).
Crown and Fletcher C3 now look much better. I only wonder what rank of status aliment it is. If it’s Rank 1 like armor break then it’ll be useless in PvP anyway. If it’s rank 2 or 3 then maybe somewhat useful.
Yeah, I just said that because, according to TOSbase, theres 4 shock effects, and 2 of em affects INT/SPR, but with no exact numbers.
I have tried it in iCBT2, it is especially useful against magic centric monsters and wizard classes or any class that heavily uses INT/SPR.
I am not sure how much INT/SPR Crown reduced but the results were very OP. I used it on a fellow priest, her INT/SPR stats instantly became 1/1. Initially she had over 100 INT/SPR
I tried it on a Madakia which can be found on Royal Mausoleum 5f it only dealt 1 dmg to me per hit as it uses magic as its normal attack. I remember it dealt at least 200 dmg per hit but after crown it only dealt 1 dmg. I can only assume the 117 INT that the Madakia had was reduced to 1 so…
I was thinking there maybe a inkling between the highlander’s stats that affects the amount of int/spr reduced by Crown. FYI, I full stat-ed on STR and Maxed Crown and its attribute.
Atm.
I didn’t test that out too much.
But shock seems to reduce int/spr pera set value, regardless of your skill level.
+10% if attribute is on.
So against low int enemys (early) it’s godlike.
And against high int enemys (700+) it’s still really nice.
Only problem is … you need to hit them. Hello Stoneskin~
I tried Crown on world bosses as well and noticed reasonable damage reduced in their magic aoe’s. I was hoping that it will be scalable and not set value.
That’s a very interesting info, even if it reduces INT by around 150-200 it’s very useful.
But yeah, the problem is it’s impossible to land in PvP.
Depending on the exact numbers this skill can prove very useful in PvE as well, decreasing some bosses damage even by 20-30% is a great feature.
but do i need max level crown? or just lvl 1?
I think that only duration scales with level, like for most status effects. So if you want 100% uptime you need to max it for sure.
now i dont know, my build would be 0 crown, dont know if it really worth getting it
For 5 seconds shock it might still worth to get 1 skill lvl. Also it may worth maxing for utility purposes. Like in Heavy physical damage party Highlander will do a good jub breaking enemy armor and decreasing it’s INT SPR. Very useful on lots of bosses.

buut doppel c2 also got a shock [5 seconds only] can i use both together?
You can throw some points into Crown and chain them to keep 100% debuff uptime.
Also Zuken will deal increased damage to enemies afflicted with shock.
but, if we have the same shock effect on a rank 7, its probably a flat bonus that scales with your lvl, regardless of skills or stats. so probably worth to take crown
Anyway, you usually have 2 alternatives to max last: crown/cross guard. So putting at least 5 points in Crown will usually worth it and grant you 18 seconds shock duration together with Zornhau.
