(Peltesta+RodeleroC3) Build Utility Tanking+Dmg

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

My first tank build. Looking for insight and opinions.
Objectives:

  1. Maximize any possible damage outputs
  2. Obtain all necessary tanking utility skills.

Reasoning:

Rank1 - Swordsman
lvl 1 Bash - A spammable dmg skill.
lvl 5 Gung Ho + Concentrate - Maximum dmg buff.
lvl 4 Pain barrier - Maximum buff duration.
Noted: could exchange 2 points from Pain barrier into Bash for the lvl 3 attribute knock down utility if needed.

Rank2-4 - Peltasta C3
lvl 15 Swash Buckling - Core tanking utility skill
lvl 6 High Guard - Attribute bonus for 350% bonus dmg for Umbo+Rim Blow and block buff for tanking.
lvl 1 Umbo Thrust - Filler dmg skill
lvl 1 Langort - Active block+attack skill with silence. attribute increases block chance.
lvl 5 Butterfly - Dmg skill
lvl 6 Umblo+Rim blow - lvl 6 minimum needed for attribute bonus
5 skill points left over to put into Umbo or Rim blow
I took note that:
Umbo Blow might have Bonus dmg on staggered enemies after blocking.
Rim Blow has a faster animation and does bonus dmg on petrified/frozen enemies.
Noted: Could put 1 point into Guardian for evasion attribute bonus.

Rank5-7 -Rodelero C3
lvl 15 Shield Push - Debuff enemy defence by 225.
lvl 10 Shield Bash - Maximum scramble debuff duration + decent dmg.
lvl 5 Shooting Star+High Kick - Maximum Dmg skills
lvl 6 Targe Smash - decent dmg
1 Point into the remaining skills for utility.

I chose Rodelero after Peltasta because I like the idea of both classes using shields. But what other classes could synergize well?

I’m open to all feedback and questions!

I also decided to upload the attributes I plan on getting aswell for this build.

  1. Your build did not maximize all the possible damage output.
    Please read and compare the skill damage per level increased by level.

  2. Did not obtain / max all necessary / core tanking skills as well.

  3. You do not understand the function of the skills at all.
    Especially shield push, umbo thrust, and shield bash. Please look for video reference on youtube.

You don’t have to max Gung Ho or Concentrate.

  • Lv3 Bash for knockdown attribute.
  • Lv5 Pain Barrier

You don’t need Lv15 Swash Buckling. Trust me, Lv5 already good. Lv10 is more than enough because you will not find a map with 30 monsters in the same place.

  • Lv10 Swash Buckling
  • Lv1 ~ 15 Guardian, depends on your plan, damage or tanking.

You can’t tank magic. Hard to tank after Lv 220 (3 star map). Let say you have Lv15 Swash Buckling and you can provoke 30 magic monsters, you will die in 10 sec, or maybe less.

You need at least c2 to use Slithering. 10 sec to tank magic attack.

You can try Fencer. Maybe Squire c1 for Repair, Arrest and Armor Maintenance.

Swordsman > Peltasta c2 > Rode c2 > Fencer c2
Swordsman > Peltasta c3 > Squire c1 > Fencer c2

Good luck! :sunglasses:
