Guide🔗

(NamuWiki community assessment, KR server; subjective opinion. No S/A/B tier rating present.)

Performance: Base class is Pike. Tier 3 classes are Earthquaker / Marshal / Royal Lancer. The ultimate is Kyoacham as in the original, but the unique weapon is Gaebolg; Gungnir can be equipped but has no particular unique effect. Unique passive is "One-Eyed Mercenary." On combat attack, heals 3% HP per enemy debuff. Also at turn end, if an adjacent enemy exists, applies Weakness Exposure (damage taken +10%, chance to be crit +10%); and if you neither dealt nor took damage from enemies this turn, gain 1 extra action per turn. The passive seems designed for approaching fast early, tanking while applying Weakness Exposure, and healing off debuffs. The key is "damage to enemy": co-op attacks count as "damage to enemy" so extra action is lost, but buffs or breaking obstacles are not judged as "damage to enemy," so extra action can be granted. Earthquaker takes the Guard-Earthquaker dedicated tree; notably its armor type switches to Heavy. Its passive applies ATK/DEF reduction to nearby enemies, and this tree learns the excellent defensive skill Hold Position, plus Ilgal, a powerful debuff that cuts ATK/spell power/crit rate of enemies within 3 tiles by 25%. In Earthquaker class, firing Ilgal roughly halves the ATK of enemies within 2 tiles. If running as debuffer + tank, this is the endgame class. Marshal provides damage-up and healing to nearby allies after using an AoE skill. Landam has various AoE skills (mostly linear) and this tree learns "Shout of Command" granting ATK/spell power +20% buff, so there may be niche uses as a buffer, but since Landam's main use is raids and PVP, its position feels awkward and it is not much recommended. Royal Lancer learns Landam's main damage skill Sinsalchang, grants +2 movement while HP is 100%, and has a passive that raises ATK and crit rate by up to 25% and removes 2 buffs from the target on combat attack if you moved that turn. It is a DPS class. Because Sinsalchang's firepower is outstanding, prioritizing it is recommended. Unlike the two classes above, it completely ignores survivability and becomes squishy, but if running Landam as a DPS, this is the endgame class. The ultimate Kyoacham deals 180% ATK damage then knocks back up to 5 tiles, dealing 20% ATK extra damage per tile knocked, and if it hits a wall or another enemy, stuns both target and the enemy hit. Since Sinsalchang's defense-ignoring damage is so strong there is rarely a chance to use it, but it is a powerful skill that can deal up to 280% ATK single-target damage.

Recommended Gear: The unique weapon is bland but there is no real alternative, so it just gets used. However, when running Earthquaker as a tank, a spear+shield weapon (e.g. hero-grade Knight Spear Guard) is sometimes given for defense. Armor differs by class since the two main classes have different armor types. For Earthquaker, mixing Bloodshed 2 with Endurance 2 for both DEF and HP, or a full Bloodshed set for counter-damage boost and post-counter next-attack damage boost. In raids, Lord of Assault is sometimes used for ATK. For Royal Lancer, an Assassin 2 base combined with other armor, usually Chivalry 2, or just a full Assassin set. Accessories: Golden Dice for crit rate, or Rift Generator / Assassin Medal for more debuff. Rift gives DEF, Assassin Medal gives ATK, so pick as desired. The Assassin Medal's upgrade, Wanted Poster, also provides crit rate, making it ideal. (The only problem is it is far too hard to obtain.)

Evaluation: A green-attribute "death spear" that can be used as a support inserting buffs/debuffs via easy extra actions, or use its mobility to land the powerful defense-ignoring Sinsalchang. Earthquaker is a PVE-oriented class: since buffs/debuffs are not "dealing damage to enemy," it reliably gets 100% extra action; use this to buff allies with Shout of Command while halving nearby enemies' ATK via the class passive and Ilgal, or protecting allies with Control Zone and Hold Position. It shines in intense raids and Machina raids, and especially in Cerberus raids where debuff usage is key, its free (no-cost) Weakness Exposure on the unique passive makes it near-essential. Royal Lancer is comparatively PVP-oriented: thanks to the movement-boosting class passive, movement reaches 5, and with extra action up to 5+5, giving tremendous mobility. Approach fast and "ascend" (kill) two light-armor healers, mages, archers, or gunners at once and it earns its keep. Firing Sinsalchang after moving with Medici's March Shout buff shows startlingly high damage. But in exchange survivability is abandoned, making it a glass cannon. Later, once Isabel Ripine was implemented as a legendary green-attribute spear+shield class, the main setup became running Isabel as tank and Landam as DPS in combination with Medici.
