[Level 2] : Success Rate 75%
[Level 3] : Success Rate 100%

SP Cost = 30 - 45 – 60
Cast Time = Instant PBAoE
Delay = 1~second aproximately

Effect = It make the whole screen rumble XD, awesome jajajaja, really nice
Use = Useless...
Why? Simply because most Ranger / Hunter Traps have an activation AoE of 5x5
So when you are in range to use it in a 5x5 AoE is useless, coz you activated the trap only by staying in range

Better explanation
If you are close to the Activation AoE of a Trap you active it... if it's 5x5 and you enter that range you activate it...
And Trample activates all traps in a 5x5 AoE... so you must be in the same range in which the traps activate in order to use this skills to activate it lol
Could be useful against Ankle Snare, but for Cluster Bomb, Claymore, etc not...

MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Trample 3
Type : Active / Self Buff
Desc : Adds a chance to evade magic damage, and increases physical defense. The user's stats increases the evasion chance, and the user's learned level of defending aura increases the defense boost. When successfully evading magic you completely negate all damage.
[Level 1] : Duration 30 s
[Level 2] : Duration 45 s
[Level 3] : Duration 60 s
[Level 4] : Duration 75 s
[Level 5] : Duration 90 s

SP Cost = 70 + ( 5 x Skill Level )
Cast Time = 3~seconds INTERRUPTIBLE
Cooldown = Still not sure, but like 30 seconds, not Aftercast Delay
Now showed as buff on side screen
Magic Evasion = Blocks Single Target Spell as well AoE Spells, if it evades the first hit of the magic skill will negate completely the left hits of it

The Magic Evade Formula IS: [ (INT + LUK) / 7 ] + 5 %

It was hard to figure because RO's RNG SUX AS HELL, but it is quite exact, thanks a lot to LordGeorge and Clogon for the time discovering it with tedious and long tests

DEF Added Formula IS:

Prestige Normal Bonus + Base Level Bonus + Aura Defender Bonus

Prestige Normal Bonus = (5 x Skill Level)

Base Level Bonus = [ (Base Level - 100) % 4 ]

Aura Defender Bonus = [ (Base Level % 2) x (Aura Defender Level % 5)]

You can see in the Formula only bonuses based on Skill Levels and Base Level, not in Equip, because the Equip does not affect the Prestige DEF Bonuses

Damn, it took me a while to figure the bonuses because two of them are Level based, thanks to Heimdall for posting those Screenshots, I used them in complement to my own character to calculate all n_nUUU

MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Royal Guard Basic Skill
Type : Active / Self Buff
Desc : While the skill is active when you take physical damage you increase your rage counter. The rage counters can be used for the skill Rage Burst Attack. When you use the skill, Force of Vanguard cancels. While the skill is active it consumes SP over time.
[Level 1] : 10% chance to get rage counter when taking damage / Max rage counters: 7
[Level 2] : 12% chance to get rage counter when taking damage / Max rage counters: 9
[Level 3] : 14% chance to get rage counter when taking damage / Max rage counters: 11
[Level 4] : 16% chance to get rage counter when taking damage / Max rage counters: 13
[Level 5] : 18% chance to get rage counter when taking damage / Max rage counters: 15


SP Cost (at begining) = 30 SP Regardless of Skill Level
SP Cost (being active) = [24 – (4 x Skill Level)] every 10 seconds
Cast Time: 1,5 seconds~ INTERRUPTABLE
It looks like all new Shura skills, where a blue aura appears under you and expands with 4 silouetes of yourself...
When taking damage it summons "Spirit Spheres" , meh, the Rage Counters are the same as Shuras Spheres, and looks like 5 shinnier spheres only

Rage Counters DO NOT add damage like Spirit Spheres, so they should not be the same...

Force of Vanguard when activating:


The "Rage Counters"...

MAX Lv : 1
Prereq : Force of Vanguard 1
Type : Active / Attack
Desc : Uses all rage counters from Force of Vanguard to deal large damage to a single target. The damage is increased by the number of spirit spheres you have.

SP Cost = 50 SP
Cast = Instant
Delay = 3 seconds... and not the "re use delay" , the full delay


Damage is 100%*Rage Counter
Previously I did not take into account Status Def so it made the skill mod bigger than it acutally was but I retested with Clogon and this time included Status def and it is indeed 100%*Rage Counter for a maximum of 1500% ATK

When I get the maximum of Spheres I use Rage Burst Damage, that DOES NOT CANCEL Force of Vanguard Skill... only wastes all the Rage Counters... to end Force of Vanguard your SP must reach 0 or you must reuse the skill

There seems to be an issue when teleporting because you CAN'T see your Rage Counters... they are still there but you can't see them after teleporting, so if you use Rage Burst Attack the skill uses all the power of your spheres, and then they start appearing again if you still have FoV activated

Other useful thing is that after having the max amount of Raging Counters you can turn off the Force of Vanguard, and still use Raging Burst Attack to waste them, you don't need to have FoV active in order to use RBA, you must only have the Rage Counters
The damage is influenced by WEAPON ATK. If you don't have any Rage Counters and try to use RBD the skill FAILS
Mmmhh the animation of Rage Burst Attack is similar to Vital Stryke of Lord Knight

IMHO it is just usefull for builds without melee attacks like this, for example Martyr build, or Grand Cross build, oh maybe Spear Build too, I forgot they don't have any other skills than Holy Cross
Anyway for Shield Build it is really useless , again IMHO, nothing more

Rage Burst Attack

MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Spear Quicken 5
Type : Active / Damage
Desc : Deals damage to all enemies in a 3 cell radius around you, which forces the enemies hit to sit. When used against monsters it stops them from moving for 1~3 seconds. Over Brand skill level increases the damage dealt.
[Level 1] : Attack 50% / Success Rate 40%
[Level 2] : Attack 100% / Success Rate 48%
[Level 3] : Attack 150% / Success Rate 56%
[Level 4] : Attack 200% / Success Rate 64%
[Level 5] : Attack 250% / Success Rate 72%

SP Cost = 16 + (4 x Skill Level)
Cast Time = 1~ Second (Interruptable???)
Delay = 1~ Second
Cooldown = 7 - ( 1 x Skill Level )
PBAoE = 7x7

Spin around yourself and then hit all targets withing range

MAX Lv : 5

MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Banishing Point 5
Type : Active / Damage
Desc : Spear exclusive skill. Rush a target quickly from a distance, striking a target at a vital point. The skill level causes different effects. The user's AGI stat influences the damage. Deals critical damage 100% of the time.
[Level 1] : Attack 100% / Chance to cause bleeding
[Level 2] : Attack 200% / Chance to remove spirit spheres
[Level 3] : Attack 300% / Chance to break shield
[Level 4] : Attack 400% / Chance to break armor
[Level 5] : Attack 500% / Chance to break weapon

MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Moon Slasher 3 / Pinpoint Attack 1
Type : Active / Damage
Desc : Spear exclusive skill. Draw's a cross which deals area damage with a range of up to 6 cells and width of 6 cells. Enemies that receive damage are knocked back. If those knocked back are pushed into a wall, they take additional damage. The level of spear quicken learned increases damage.
[Level 1] : Attack Damage 100% / Brandish Damage 100%
[Level 2] : Attack Damage 200% / Brandish Damage 200%
[Level 3] : Attack Damage 300% / Brandish Damage 300%
[Level 4] : Attack Damage 400% / Brandish Damage 400%
[Level 5] : Attack Damage 500% / Brandish Damage 500%

SP Cost = 20 + (2 x Skill Level)
Cast Time = 1~ second
Aftercarst = 0,5~ seconds
Skill Type = Ground Target AoE 6x6
Damage = Normal Damage + Knockbak Wall Bonus + Spear Quicken Bonus

It seems that Spear Quicken adds (10*Spear Quicken Level)% , then the final formula could be somthing like

(100 x Skill Level)% + (100 x Skill Level)% + (10 x Spear Quicken Level)%

NORMAL DAMAGE + KNOCKBACK BONUS + SPEAR QUICKEN BONUS

So, if the skill hits without Knockbak, the damage will be 600%~ , similar to Brandish Spear damage, but if the mob knockbak with a wall, the damage is double... about 1100~ similar to a full Bowling Bash

PD: Still I have not the SP cost of the skill, and I am not sure if the Spear Quicken Bonus is exactly that, plus if it is only aplied for the normal damage or both (normal damage and knockback damage)

MAX Lv : 5

Prereq : Pinpoint Attack 3 / Rage Burst Attack 1
Type : Active / Self Buff
Desc : When Royal guards in party have Banding activated, if you are close enough together, your attack increases, defense increases, and share HP. While the skill is active it continually uses SP, and re-using the skill cancels it. The number of party members increases the effectiveness of the skill.

[Level 1] :+20 atk, +6 def per RG in banding
[Level 2] :+30 atk, +7 def per RG in banding
[Level 3] :+40 atk, +8 def per RG in banding
[Level 4] :+50 atk, +9 def per RG in banding
[Level 5] :+60 atk, +10 def per RG in banding

*Ii will last until SP depletes, either you die or you use it again
*It seems you most be side by side with the other royal so you can obtain the effects ( the bonuses last about 5 sec when you move away from the others)
*You share HP with those in Banding!!!

This last point is difficult to explain ... if we've got 2 royals in Banding, one with 50k of MAX HP and the other with 10k of MAX HP
If the one with 10 k loses any quantity of HP ( that doesn't kill him) about 1 second later the royal with the most HP will replenish his partner's HP fully ( he loses the same quantity he replenished)... meaning that while the royal with the most "MAX HP" has more hp than the "MAX HP" of the other LG, the weakest one will always be replenished instantly, until they both have the same quantity of HP approximately ... and from this point forward who ever receives damage both will be distributing the HP among themselves ( it's not exact , it's kind of like 4523 hp one and 4734 the other)

But if one of them is killed instantly, there will not be HP to share, so you can still kill them with a really strong attack to stop their Banding, but it must be a 1 HIT KO, or kill both at same time

It is like the Royal Guards' HP in Banding become LIQUID, comparing it to water in equilibrium... like in this picture

So, if any of them loses HP (one side loses water) the liquid from the other side will flow to fill it until they reach the same amount on both sides

Effective range 7x7 cells:
Every time that a royal guard (in banding too) of your party enters or leave your 7x7 banding range you will see the banding skill animation...
and now if you start casting Ray of Genesis and the other RG move out your banding range it does nothing T_T

It's a spear exclusive skill and does 3 hits (maybe 1 hit per RG in banding)
Used in an orc warrior does aprox 7-8k damage in 3 hits, has a 10-15 segs reuse delay, and it appear each hit seems to be the 200% of the total atk of the royals guards in banding, because my friend and me does almost the same damage with Hesperus lvl 5.

MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Reflect Shield 7
Type : Active / Self Buff
Desc : Shield exclusive skill. When receiving physical or magical damage part of the damage is returned in a radius around the user. While active this skill drains SP every second. This skill cannot be used with reflect shield.
[Level 1] : Damage 20% Reflect / Duration 300s
[Level 2] : Damage 25% Reflect / Duration 300s
[Level 3] : Damage 30% Reflect / Duration 300s
[Level 4] : Damage 35% Reflect / Duration 300s
[Level 5] : Damage 40% Reflect / Duration 300sSelf Buff

SP Cost (Activation) = 30 + 10*Skill Level
SP Cost (After Active) = 14 SP every 10 seconds
Cast Time = Instant
PBAoE of 7x7
The damage reflected by this skill doesn't affect party members, doesn't hit them, reflects all type of damage (melee, ranged, magic, misc) except reflected damage itself
For example it can Reflect the % of damage acording to skill level of all these attacks in the AoE:
Falcon Assault - HSCR - Acid Bomb - Soul Breaker - Severe Rainstorm - Dragon Breath - Asura Stryke - Martyr - Comet - ETC

Aditional Info: Reflect Damage DOES NOT reflect the own damage made by Grand Cross

If a Chaser uses Shadowform on you and you have Reflect Damage activated, then you can hit him and the damage is redirected to you, ok, but you can still reflect that damge in the AoE of Reflect Damage skill and the Chaser take that damage Reflected even in Shadow Form and without affecting you

1) Chaser Shadow Form a Royal Guard
2) The Royal Guard hits the Chaser by 10k
3) The Royal Guard takes that 10k damage and not the Chaser
4) The 10k damage Royal Guard takes are reflected in AoE because of Reflect Damage
5) Chaser takes that damage reflected, the 4k (40% of it)

Conclusion: If any Chaser have less than 40% your Royal Guard HP you can kill him when he Shadow Form you

Devotion lasts until the Paladin DIES; it is not canceled even if the Paly has less than 1/4 HP

MAX Lv : 10
Prereq : Spear Quicken 5

Cast Time = Instant
No delay, No cooldown (or 0,5 cooldown, or less, with my lag I can't be sure but I could spam it without fail mesages one after another)
Really Nice HIGHLY SPAMEABLE !!!

Banishing point seems bugged... because at lvl 10 hits aprox 330%, and with bash lvl 10 hits 400%, so you need bash lvl 10 to have the normal power of the skill

Screenshot n_n

MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Banishing Point 3
Type : Active / Self Buff
Desc : Collects your strength, so your next attack deals large damage. The user's stats influence the damage done. If you receive a short range physical attack the skill cancels. The skill doesn't influence skill damage. While active your movement speed is slowed.

[Level 4] : Attack 600% / Movement Speed 20% Decrease
[Level 5] : Attack 750% / Movement Speed 10% Decrease

SP Cost = 10 + (4 x Skill Level)
Casting Time = Like 2,5 seconds on level 1, less on lower levels it seems... INTERRUPTABLE
Delay = Like 3 seconds... total Delay with animation after activating it...
Lasting = 1 Attack

Awesome, if you receive a short range physical attack while casting the skill, the cast is canceled (Does not stop casting upon receiving other damages?). Your movespeed is reduced while casting the spell. Movespeed returns to normal after casting. And it is counted as a single and normal attack, so it can be critical

At more STR the damage is SLIGHTY increased (at least in the last tests), and seems to be
100% + 750% + Bonus%

OK, I tested both, Martyr and Exceed and this is what happend, Martyr has priority OVER Exceed Break and they stack but EB do not affect MR
No matter if you use first EB or MR, when you cast both of them your next 5 hits will be MR and the hit number 6 will be EB

NO, it is not influenced by damage modifier of size cards T_T , and not for WEAPON ATK either =(
YES, it ignores Thara reductions!, and even when it doesn't take element bonus it ignores Raydric also!!
Like always, if the Martyr hits are blocked, you lose the HP used on it and the lasting hit, but if it is evade (only posible with Perfect Dodge) you only MISS and nothing happens, you don't lose either your HP used on it or the lasting hit of Martyr

OK, I tested both, Martyr and Exceed and this is what happend, Martyr has priority OVER Exceed Break and they stack but EB do not affect MR
No matter if you use first EB or MR, when you cast both of them your next 5 hits will be MR and the hit number 6 will be EB

BPAoE = 3x3... (only use it and the skill will trigger being you the center of it)
There a is chanse to broke your Shield while using the skill, actually it seems to be about 5% or less

Skill multi hit, it makes 5 quick hits that show the total damage at the end and it can remove many ground targeted spells like Magnetic Earth, Warp Portal, etc

Then, the bad things...

Earth Element Forced
3 Seconds Reuse Delay or more
3x3 AoE, very small
Low Damage % (600% in level 5)
Can Broke The Shield

So, the good things...

1 Second Delay only
25% ASPD Reduction to enemies
25% DEF Reduction to enemies
It can remove Ground Targeted Skills

Cooldown: 2 seconds

Casts random special skills depending on the skill lvl used and the properties of your shield.
Each skill lvl is different and all skills are casted on you or around you (if has aoe)


- lvl 1 Spell Shield confirmed skills:

• Attack buff that increases EquipATK by ShieldDEF (Again, doesn't count upgrades).
• 7x7 Aoe damage that uses weapon element (Varies with Shield DEF--> 900~1700% atk) and knockback
• Reflect buff that I'd say reflects about (ShieldDEF/2)% of physical melee damage (Not factoring upgrades)
• Unknown success rate...

- lvl 2 Spell Shield confirmed skills:

• Magnificant
• 7x7 AoE damage (varies with shield mag def--> ????~1000% mag atk)
• 7x7 AoE mute (100% chance (need more testing), duration and range still unknown)
• Success rate increases with a shield with high mag def (aprox 100% success with a shield with 5 mag def)

- lvl 3 Spell Shield confirmed skills:

• Self buff that increases EquipDEF by about 10,5 times the shield upgrade rate.
• Self heal (fixed amount--> "11+refine"% of your MAX HP)
• Success rate increase with each refine (+0 = skill fail)

All of the buffs except Magnificat last about ~5 minutes or so (No buff icon or any indication) and get cancelled when you use Shield Spell again. Even if it casts an offensive skill, the previous effect still gets cancelled.

Screens:

- Shield Spell lvl 1 effects:

YES it affects the ASPD of Gryphon... so it's the same as the Peco, if you only have Peco Riding and not Cavalier Mastery your ASPD will sux, bad... really bad... so max it if you don't want to lose ASPD

DAMN GOD, it reduces Dragon Breath -_-U I hate it, why can't Dragon Breath be Misc and ignore it eh?
And still irreducible by Thara, at least the damage was the same when taking damage with it or without it
Actually it reduces your Movement Speed more than before it seems, I still need to calculate it, and maybe ASPD, but the Movement Speed reduction is really noticable now

Tested in PVP and like I said... Simple Uncarded Sword [4] vs Quadruple Bloody Sword [4]
The same results, the cards only affected Weapon ATK, so it sux and adds like 1k damage or less, because the RK was with Thara and Raydric, the damage of my Shield Chain only increases by 400 with the carded weapon...
Now Shield Chain takes the Weapon Element but at the end it still is forced Neutral Element (as other skills in Renewal similar to it)

Shield Chain can't be reflected by Deathbound, even when Dathbound increase the damage it does on RK, it is lost there and will not back to Paly...

Conclusion: For Shield Chain it is better to have a nice Weapon with less slots but good ATK, if not it will sux...
TESTED: SHIELD CHAIN DOES NOT IGNORE DEF!!

When doing Shield Chain against a Rune Knight with Hagalaz active, it will not brokes either your weapon or your shield, but while doing melee physical attack (like Pinpoint Attack) yes it will brokes your weapon
