READ -> Kind of outdated since Overbrand's damage was fixed now, it was dealing ridiculous damage before even with a +0 pike. But it is still your main AoE skill.
[Siobhan's Lvl 151-175 Royal Guard Leveling Guide]
I made my very first Royal Guard on this server, so bear with me!
==========
[Main Skills]
- Overbrand : Your bread and butter skill. Still deals very good damage even with a low weapon ATK spear! I'm looking at you Pike!
- Banishing Point : Crappy damage without Inspiration and endow, but sometimes this skill is use to finish off a monster with low HP so you can conserve your SP.
- Shield Spell : Use level 1 Shield Spell for ATK bonus. This skill is best use with Rosa Shield equipped for maximum ATK bonus and duration. Any other shield will have less ATK and duration.
NOTE: There are 3 effects when using Shield Spell and they activate at random, so you have to keep casting until you get the ATK bonus. Also, you can switch out the Rosa Shield to a different shield once you get the ATK bonus.
- Auto Guard : 30% chance to block physical attacks? Yes, please!
- Endure : Helps you move easily while positioning mobs of monsters near an obstacle for Overbrand.
[Optional Skills]
- Magnum break : Gives you 20% fire damage bonus for 10 seconds after use.
- Prestige : Gives DEF bonus and a chance to evade magic attacks depending on your INT and LUK.
- Vanguard Force : Currently bugged(?). This skill only gives HP bonus. No DEF bonus and doesn't drain SP.
- Spear Quicken - You can spam more Banishing Point with this skill activated.

Monsters to kill :

Equipment :
- Headgear [Upper] : Any decent slotted headgear with Dark Pinguicula Card, not really needed but if you want more ATK, then go ahead.

- Weapon :
- For [Overbrand] : Pike with 4x Hunter Fly Card, with Hunter Fly cards you will RARELY use a single potion and the reason why you don't need elemental armors because the HP leech procs a lot, especially when you're killing en masse. A MUST HAVE WEAPON!!

Couple of things before going here~
- You must have Full Chemical Protection before going here. Recon Robots will strip your weapon!
- Recon Robots can silence you. Bring Panacea or Royal Jelly or else you will be a sitting duck for a few seconds.
- Excavation Robots can heal themselves while hiding. Use a Horong Card accessory or Earth Drive skill to get them out of hiding. Careful, though, using Earth Drive can destroy your shield, but who would go here without FCP anyway. :'D
