Hashashin Class Guide

Sep 01 Tansie

Last updated: 10th September 2020

Hashashin Awakening and Succession are arriving to EU/NA PC on 16th September 2020.

Introduction

Remember that class guides are a rough explanation of the class, designed to give you an idea of the class and what you should be aiming for. You should really adapt the guide and follow your own instincts to match your play-style! I also highly recommend looking at as many different sources as possible and gathering as much information as you can about your class before deciding what is best for you and how you play. The class discords are a great place to start, most have their own guides and resources as well as plenty of skilled players willing to help with questions.

The Hashashin class is a male assassin class which uses a Shamshir as his main weapon and a Haladie offhand (double bladed dagger). He is Aal’s warrior, who is the god worshipped in Valencia. With Aal’s powers he is able to manipulate sandstorms to quickly escape from danger or suppress his opponents. This also gives him an advantage in the desert, where he can travel slightly faster than other classes and has a slightly higher resistance to the desert diseases.

He has a fast paced combat style which is very fluid and precise. Awakening information is very limited at the moment, but at level 56 he will be able to better harness the power of Aal, allowing him to receive the hidden power of god. His awakening weapon will be a double sided sword, as shown in the teaser trailer video below

PROS

Fast paced combat
Lots of debuff skills
High Critical Hit Rate on most skills
Evasion builds may be viable due to Q block scaling with evasion and his passive evasion buffs
Good mobility
Strong in PVE due to large AOE and down attacks on skills
Has S block in both preawakening and awakening

CONS

Character stands still for some animations which make you vulnerable to a well timed grab
Lack of protected CC in Awakening
No grab in succession kit
Struggles in Large scale PVP

Succession

Hashashin Succession can be unlocked after level 56 after speaking to the Black Spirit and completing the Succession quest under the suggestions tab. This will give you a totally seperate skill tree that enhances your main hand skills and only has a few awakening skills. Your awakening weapon still effects your succession damage but is not as much of a priority. You can get away with using a Green/Blue grade TRI Ultimate weapon without losing too much damage. This is because only 30% of your Awakening AP is applied to the damage of Succession skills, as well as the additional item stats, such as Human/Species Damage and Accuracy.

Succession has faster combos and good movement as well as ranged attacks. The Succession kit has a good amount of ranged CC and an extra iframe dash compared to awakening. Whilst Awakening has more protected damage skills and even higher mobility as well larger AoE, making awakening better for lower end spots. The Awakening kit also has a grab skill whilst succession does not. I recommend trying out both playstyles and seeing which you prefer. In each section of the guide you can find additional information about succession skills.

Sand Slicer is a quick damage skill that can be used after Sand Warp by pressing [LMB] or other skills such as Sand Divider [S + F].

Prime: Sand Slicer is a quick damage skill that can be used after Sand Warp by pressing [LMB] or other skills such as Sand Divider [S + F]. It has a 3 second cooldown. The skill has +100% critical hit chance and also gives a +10% attack speed buff for 10 seconds when used. It is also a down attack skill with down smash and inflicts a stun CC and down smash on good hits as long as it is not used whilst on cooldown.

Prime: Sand Warp (Succession)
[SHIFT] + [W/A/S/D]

The Prime version of Sand Warp allows you to dash a second time by casting Prime: Sand Warp straight after Sand Warp. You are invincible at the beginning of the skill and then have Super Armor at the very end. The Prime version has a 5 second cooldown and uses 150 stamina.

DAMAGE

Hourglass of Death
[SHIFT] + [F]

This skill has a 13 second cooldown and gives a AP +20 buff for 10 seconds when used. It has a forward guard at the beginning of the skill and then an iframe in the time where your character disappears. The skill also has bound CC on successful hits and down attack damage.

This skill has a cooldown of 8 seconds and has +100% critical hit chance but has no protection on it. On good hits it will inflict a float CC and is also an air attack and has air smash. The skill can also be used to pull in enemies (PVE only). You can skill cancel directly into Purge by using Sand Divider (S + F). The skill can sometimes conflict with Sand Slicer if used this way. You can also use the skill and then your dash, Sand Warp (SHIFT+W/A/S/D) before the attack goes off, to repostion. This skill has got a large range and is a great mobility skill. You can use a direction key during the charge animation and your character will dash in that direction. Doing this uses your pre-awakening dash cooldown meaning that if you are in awakening you have a seperate cooldown on your iframe. This trick is great for gap closing.

Haladie Throw
[S] + [RMB]

This skill has a cooldown of 4 seconds but can be used whilst off cooldown. It gives an all AP +20 buff for 10 seconds on good hits and also has a stiffness CC, but both of these do no apply if the skill is used during cooldown.

It is known as your “Block Jump” and once you’ve hit a target using Haladie Throw, you get the 20 AP buff, you then have 10 seconds to use this skill to jump to your target and it will consume the AP buff. To use the skill after Haladie Throw you must hit a target but using it after other skills doesn’t always require you to hit something. For example, you can use Arid Assault [E] straight after Hourglass of Death (SHIFT + F), and can also use Arid Assault after the awakening skill, Piercing Fang to switch into preawakening.

It also has a stiffness CC in PVE when used whilst not on cooldown. Putting this skill on your hotbar allows you to switch directly from preawakening to awakening.

Skill Combos

The following skill combos are very basic combos/cancels and some additional tips/tricks for your class. I recommend using video guides to learn more complex skill combos, because it is much easier to see exactly what you should be doing, rather than reading it and trying to wrap your head around it all. There are some recommended skill combo videos in the Useful Links section and the end of the guide!

Keys in square brackets [] mean that you tap the key. For example, [Q] means you tap Q once.
Keys in round brackets () mean that you hold the key. For example, (HOLD Q) means you hold Q until the next step. (PERMAHOLD Q) means you hold Q throughout the combo.
Keys separated by a “+” symbol should be used at the same time. For example, [Q] + [LMB] means you tap Q and LMB at the same time.
Keys separated by a “>” symbol show the order you should follow out the steps. For example, [Q] + [LMB] > [F] means you tap Q and LMB at the same time, then tap F
[LMB] refers to left-clicking with your mouse, [RMB] refers to right-clicking with your mouse.

(AWAKENING COMBO)

[SHIFT] + [E] > [S] + [F] > [S] + [LMB] (1 hit) > [SHIFT] + [F] > [F] > [RMB] > [SHIFT] + [RMB] > [LMB] > (Quickslot: Descent)

This is an awakening PVP combo starting with your grab.

Required skills: Dune Slash, Piercing Fang, Collapse, Ensnaring Sands, Flow: Condemnation, Serpent’s Coil, Flow: Voracity
(AWAKENING COMBO)

[SHIFT] + [F] > [RMB] > [S] + [RMB] > [SHIFT] + [LMB] > [SHIFT] + [RMB]

This is an awakening PVE combo for higher end grind spots such as Aakman. Start with Dune Slash and then into Piercing Fang to debuff targets with -20 DP and buff yourself with +20 AP. You then want to get the mobs on the floor so for this example we use Collapse for the Float CC, and then Ensnaring Sands and Serpent’s Coil for the down attack damage. You can also use both of the flows for extra damage and a down smash.

Required skills: Sand Warp, Prime: Sand Warp, Piercing Tornado, Haladie Assault, Sand Slicer
(SUCCESSION COMBO)

[SHIFT] + [W] > [W] + [RMB] > [SHIFT] + [W] > [W] + [F] > [SHIFT] + [W] > [LMB]

This is an example of a mobility combo you can use but Piercing Tornado and Sand Slicer are unprotected.

Required skills: Sand Divider, Prime: Aal’s Breath, Haladie Throw, Arid Assault, Prime: Sand Slicer, Prime: Ridge Reaver, Prime: Aal’s Dominion, Paradise Beckons, Prime: Descent
(SUCCESSION COMBO)

[S] + [F] > (Quickslot: Prime: Aal’s Breath) > [S] + [RMB] > [E] > [LMB] > [SHIFT] + [RMB] > [SPACE] > [RMB] > [SHIFT] + [C]

This is an example of a PVP combo using succession. Use Sand Divider at the beginning of the combo for an accuracy buff if it is safe to do so because the skill is unprotected.

Required skills: Sand Divider, Prime: Aal’s Breath, Haladie Throw, Arid Assault, Prime: Sand Slicer, Prime: Ridge Reaver, Prime: Chosen Blade
(SUCCESSION COMBO)

[S] + [F] > (Quickslot: Prime: Aal’s Breath) > [S] + [RMB] > [E] > [LMB] > [SHIFT] + [RMB] > [SHIFT] + [Q]

This is an example of a PVP combo using succession. It is an alternative of the one above.

Required skills: Sand Divider, Prime: Purge, Prime: Ridge Reaver, Piercing Tornado, Prime: Sand Slicer, Prime: Descent
(SUCCESSION COMBO)
[S] + [F] > [SHIFT] + [LMB] > [SPACE] > [SHIFT] + [RMB] > [W] + [RMB] > [S] + [F] > [LMB] > [SHIFT] + [C]

This is another PVP combo using succession.

Weapons/Armor

The best weapons in the game are currently dropped from World Bosses.
For more information on this click here to view our World Bosses guide.

Primary Weapons:

Rosar Shamshir
The Rosar Shamshir is what you should be aiming for to level your character. You should enhance it to at least +7 for leveling and then PRI or higher as soon as possible if you don’t have Liverto/Kzarka. Aim to buy a +15 Rosar weapon if you can to save your enhancing resources. Ideally you will want to buy or make it ultimate (yellow) to close the AP difference as well. Make sure you also make use of the gem slots to get your Attack Speed and Critical Hit up to 5.

Another alternative is the Styd Shamshir for leveling if you are having trouble obtaining a Rosar Shamshir. This weapon can be bought from a Blacksmith and will give you 18 – 22 AP as well as a lot of accuracy.

Liverto Shamshir
Liverto is the fourth strongest mainhand and much easier to obtain and enhance than Kzarka. I personally would not invest in a Liverto because it will just slow your progression. Go to a kzarka as early as possible. If you do already have liverto and have already invested into it, you will want to upgrade it to PRI or higher as soon as possible. I would recommend getting it to TRI at most and then you really want to switch to Kzarka. The liverto has slightly more AP than Rosar, but it also has a Critical Hit Rate +3 item effect.

Kzarka Shamshir
Kzarka is the main weapon you will be using. It has the same AP as Liverto but more accuracy and an Attack Speed +3 item effect.

Offin Tett’s Radiant Shamshir
Offin Tett weapons are usually not worth investing in because of the loss in accuracy. It can help you push to the next AP bracket but at higher AP brackets the extra AP you get is smaller and you’ll be losing hit chance % at the same time on both your preawakening and your awakening. So really you’re actually losing damage overall since you won’t be hitting the enemy as much (unless they are full DR). Offin Tett can be good when you reach certain AP brackets and if your class doesn’t depend on accuracy as much as others, but if you’re unsure whether you should be using this weapon or not, it’s much safer to just use Kzarka.

Blackstar Shamshir

Blackstar is considered the current best in slot mainhand weapon with higher base AP than Kzarka. It must be crafted using items in Star’s End and then following a questline. The weapon is also harder to enhance so most players only switch to Blackstar once they already have TET Kzaraka and very high AP with no easier upgrades. It has a Damage to All Species +10 and Attack Speed +3 item effect, as well as other bonuses when enhanced. The weapon cannot be enhanced with Caphras stones though. Blackstar is considered best for PVE at endgame but eventually a PEN Kzarka will outscale.

Offhand Weapons:

Kutum Haladie
This weapon gives a mixture of AP and DP with added monster damage and accuracy. The Kutum weapons also have a 10% ignore resistance. The higher AP makes this weapon a best in slot for PVE and is also good for PVP in late game. When you are 261 (using Nouver) it is actually better to use Nouver in PVE as well because of the bonus AP given in the AP brackets. Once you reach over 261 AP (with Kutum) it is better to switch back to Kutum for PVE. More information about AP and DP brackers can be found here

It also has 2 crystal slots. The Kutum Haladie can also be modified using an Inverted Hearth of Garmoth to give extra stats (Max HP +150, Max Stamina +100, Special Attack Evasion Rate +10%).

Nouver Haladie
Nouver is currently considered the best in slot choice for PVP until you reach very high AP brackets. You should aim to have TRI gear before switching to this offhand. The weapon gives pure AP and an all resistance +10% item effect and can be modified using an Inverted Hearth of Garmoth to give extra stats (Max HP +150, Max Stamina +100, Special Attack Evasion Rate +10%).

When you are 261 (using Nouver) it is actually better to use Nouver in PVE as well because of the bonus AP given in the AP brackets. Once you reach over 261 AP (with Kutum) it is better to switch back to Kutum for PVE. More information about AP and DP brackers can be found here

Armor:

The best armor in the game is currently dropped from Bosses. You will want to aim to get the boots and gloves first.

Griffon’s Helmet (helmet) – dropped from Griffons in Kamaslyvia.
Dim Tree Spirit’s Armor (chest) – dropped from Dim Tree Spirit.
Bheg’s Gloves (gloves) – dropped from Bheg.
Urugon’s Shoes (shoes) – dropped from Urugon (Gaifinrasia Raid Captain Scroll).
icon Giath’s Helmet (helmet) alternative choice – dropped from Giath.
icon Muskan’s Shoes (shoes) alternative choice– dropped from Monastery Leader.
icon Leebur’s Gloves (gloves) alternative choice

The best in slot armor for Hashashin is Griffon’s Helmet, Dim Tree Spirit’s Armor, Bheg’s Gloves and Urugon’s Shoes.

The full set will give you Maximum MP/WP/SP +100, Maximum HP +200, Max Stamina +200, Attack Speed +1, Casting Speed +1, Movement Speed +1 and All Resistances 5%. You will also get higher Accuracy, Evasion and Damage Reduction from these pieces.

Hybrid Evasion builds may also be viable on Hashashin due to his [Q] block scaling with Evasion and his passive Evasion buffs. For an Evasion build you will want to use Muskan’s Shoes and Leebur’s Gloves. More information can be found in the example builds section further in the guide.

In the mean time you should be using one of the following armor sets:

A popular armor choice for new players is to go full Grunil set because it increases your maximum HP and will give you 2 socket slots on each piece, along with extra AP +7 set bonus. Another advantage of using this set is that it is viable on any class, allowing you to swap to another class easily.

Full Heve set is also a very popular choice and what I would recommend to a new player because it has an easier transition to boss gear. As soon as you get one boss item with Grunil, you lose the set bonuses which Grunil weaker.

Another alternative is to use is the Akum set. It has comparable stats to boss armor and also a very useful set effect that gives Damage Reduction and Hidden AP. If you are unable to get boss armor, then the Akum set is a good cheap alternative that will be good for both PVP and PV. Investing in this set may slow you down in your progression towards softcap, but is much cheaper once you factor in repairing and enhancing.

Accessories

There are a lot of choices available when it comes to accessories and it really depends on what you can get your hands on.

Earrings:

If available I recommend using the Asula’s Crimon Eye Earrings (Asula Set) if you are new to the game, this gives you 7 AP and also has very good set bonuses. Otherwise use Bares earrings for 2 AP and switch to Witch’s Earring as soon as possible for the 5 AP.

You want to aim for DUO/TRI Witch’s Earrings (9 AP/11 AP) before swapping to a DUO Tungrad Earrings (11 AP) because of the huge difference in cost. Tungrad Earrings are one of the best earrings you can get. The other alternative is Black Distortion Earrings which give the highest amount of AP (21 AP at PEN), but reduce your DP as well.

The Capotia Earring is also worth mentioning. It is available at level 62+ only but is a very good earring because of it’s high AP. It makes a perfect backup for enhancing and is essentially a free TRI Tungrad Earring.

Base	DUO	TRI / TRI / TRI / DUO	TET / TRI / TET	TRI / TET
7 AP	9 AP	10 / 11 / 8 /11 AP	10 / 13 / 13 AP	15 / 15 AP

Item Name	Base Stats	Enhance Increase
Bares Earring	2 AP	1 AP
Jarette’s Earring (Jarette Set)	4 AP 4-Piece Set Bonus: Attack +5 6-Piece Set Bonus: Attack +10 Accuracy 2 Hidden Evasion 1	Cannot be Enhanced
Asula’s Crimon Eye Earring (Asula Set)	7 AP Health 25 3-Piece Set Bonus: Health +300 5-Piece Set Bonus: Acurracy +20	DP 1 (alternating) Accuracy 2 (alternating)

Capotia Earring	13 AP Accuracy 8	Accuracy 1 (alternating) DP 1 (alternating)
Black Distortion Earring	6 AP Accuracy 6 0 DP	3 AP Accuracy 2 – 1 DP

Rings:
If available I recommend using the Asula’s Crimon Eye Ring (Asula Set) if you are new to the game, this gives you 7 AP and 2 DP as well as damage reduction and strong set bonuses. Otherwise use Bares rings for 2 AP and switch to Mark of Shadow as soon as possible for the 5 AP.

Sahazad’s Ring of Monarch is also available through the Valencia part I and II quests. It can’t be enhanced but it is a good alternative until you can get Ring of Crescent Guardian or Mark of Shadow to PRI/DUO.

The current best in slot, is a Tungrad Ring.

The Capotia Ring is also worth mentioning. It is available at level 61+ only but is a very good ring because of it’s high AP. It makes a perfect backup for enhancing and is essentially a free TRI Ring of Crescent Guardian.

Base	PRI	PRI / DUO	DUO / TRI	TRI	TET / TET
5 AP	7 AP	8 / 9 AP	11 / 11 AP	14 AP	17 / 18 AP

Item Name	Base stats	Enhance Increase
Bares Ring	2 AP	1 AP
Jarette’s Ring (Jarette Set)	4 AP 4-Piece Set Bonus: Attack +5 6-Piece Set Bonus: Attack +10 Accuracy 2 Hidden Evasion 1	Cannot be Enhanced
Asula’s Crimson Eye Ring (Asula Set)	7 AP 2 DP Damage Reduction +2 3-Piece Set Bonus: Health +300 5-Piece Set Bonus: Acurracy +20	DP 1 (alternating) Accuracy 2 (alternating)

Ring of Crescent Guardian OR Eye of the Ruins Ring	5 AP Accuracy 2	3 AP Accuracy 2
Capotia Ring	14 AP Accuracy 8	Accuracy 1 (alternating) AP 1 (alternating)
Tungrad Ring	6 AP Accuracy 2	3 AP Accuracy 2

Necklace:

If available I recommend using the Asula’s Crimon Eye Necklace (Asula Set) if you are new to the game, this gives you 11 AP and 3 DP as well as damage reduction and an amazing set bonus. Otherwise use Bares Necklace for 4 AP and enhance this to DUO/TRI for 8 AP/10 AP. Enhancing a Bares Necklace is much cheaper than using an un-enhanced BiS necklace. You then want to swap to a DUO Serap’s or PRI Ogre/Tungrad.

The Manos Necklaces are also an alternative for PvP, if you don’t have a DUO Seraps already, due to their item effects. I personally wouldn’t bother with them though because you will want as much AP as possible.

Base	PRI	DUO / PRI	TRI / DUO	TRI / TRI	TET
11 AP	12 AP	16 / 15 AP	20 / 20 AP	25 / 25 AP	30 AP

Item Name	Base Stats	Enhance Increase
Bares Necklace	4 AP	2 AP
Jarette’s Necklace (Jarette Set)	7 AP Accuracy 2 Hidden Evasion 1 4-Piece Set Bonus: Attack +5 6-Piece Set Bonus: Attack +10	Cannot be Enhanced
Asula’s Crimson Eye Necklace (Asula Set)	11 AP 3 DP Damage Reduction +3 3-Piece Set Bonus: Health +300 5-Piece Set Bonus: Acurracy +20	DP 1 (alternating) Accuracy 2 (alternating)

Ogre Ring OR Latenn’s Power Stone	10 AP Accuracy 4	5 AP Accuracy 4
Tungrad Necklace	10 AP Black Spirit Rage +20% Accuracy 4	5 AP Accuracy 4

Belt:

If available I recommend using the Asula’s Crimon Eye Belt (Asula Set) if you are new to the game, this gives you 6 AP and has amazing set bonuses. Otherwise use Bares Belt for 2 AP and swap to Tree Spirit Belt as soon as possible for more AP and high accuracy.

You want to aim for a PRI/DUO Tree Spirit Belt before swapping to DUO Basilisk’s because it is much cheaper and easier to get hold of. Basilisk’s Belt and Valtarra are very good belts but Tungrade is currently the best in slot.

Base	DUO	TRI / PRI	DUO	TRI / TRI	TET
6 AP	7 AP	9 / 8 AP	11 AP	14 / 14 AP	17 AP

Item Name	Base Stats	Enhance Increase
Bares Belt	2 AP Weight Limit +40	1 AP
Jarette’s Belt (Jarette Set)	4 AP Accuracy 2 Hidden Evasion 1 4-Piece Set Bonus: Attack +5 6-Piece Set Bonus: Attack +10	Cannot be Enhanced
Asula’s Crimson Eye Belt	6 AP Weight Limit +100 LT 3-Piece Set Bonus: Health +300 5-Piece Set Bonus: Acurracy +20	DP 1 (alternating) Accuracy 2 (alternating)

Tungrad Belt	6 AP Black Spirit’s Rage 20% Weight Limit 80LT Accuracy 2	3 AP Accuracy 2

Sockets (Crystals)

These are an example of the best sockets for your class. Magical Crystal of Infinity – Evasion has been tested and proven to give more survivability than JIN/BON Cobelinus crystals and is also much cheaper. You can also swap precision crystals for Crystal of Elkarr

Black Magic Crystal – Precision x2

Example Gear Builds

I highly recommend using BDOPLANNER.COM to help you plan your build and track your progression.

We are currently waiting for BDOPLANNER to release the Hashashin class builder. In the mean time, the images and links are for the Ninja class, but these are the buillds you can follow and only the weapons are different.

The build you choose completely depends on your playstyle and what role you want to play in PVP. Below are some example builds to help you decide what is best for you.

Leveling build: link
Here is what to aim for when leveling and before you get your boss gear. You should focus on enhancing your weapons first and then your armor. Try to also ultimate all your pieces as soon as possible, especially your armor because it will give quite a big DP boost.

Click image below to enlarge

Low-Tier build: link
Here is a mid-tier build to use if you are looking to improve your gear before you get boss gear. You may want to use Red Coral Earrings or Witch’s Earrings instead but they can be quite expensive compared to the rest of the gear.

Click image below to enlarge

Mid-tier build: link
Here is a mid-tier build to use once you have boss gear. You want to aim to get TRI as soon as possible and then work on your accessories. You want to try to make sure you have a minimum of 300 accuracy when using Nouver. You can also use a TET heve and TRI Muskan’s shoes instead but Griffon’s and Urugon’s shoes are currently considered best in slot in the gear meta.

Click image below to enlarge

Softcap build: link
Here is what to aim for if you are going for. It takes a long time to get to this stage, and there are lots of small improvements and other accessories you will use along the way, but this is ideally your softcap build for PVP.

For PVE, you want to be using a Kutum with Corrupted Magic Crystals. Once you reach 261 AP with Nouver, you will want to stop using Kutum for PVE however, until you reach 265 AP with Kutum. After many tests, it is confirmed that Nouver performs better than Kutum in these brackets. More information about AP and DP brackers can be found here

You may also want to consider starting to put Caphras stones into your gear for bonus stats to help you get to the next AP bracket. Begin by getting level 4 in your main hand for the extra 4 AP. Then you will want to move on to putting level 2 into each armor piece before getting them all up to level 4 as well.

Click image below to enlarge

End-game build [FULL AP]: link
Here is what to eventually aim for. It takes a long time to get to this stage, and there are lots of small improvements and other accessories you will use along the way, but this is ideally your end game build for PVP. Make sure to put Caphras stones into your equipment for extra stats. You can also swap out both of the Black Magic Crystal – Precision for Crystal of Elkarr (best in slot) instead but these are very costly and harder to obtain.

For PVE, you want to be using a Kutum with Corrupted Magic Crystals. Once you reach 261 AP with Nouver, you will want to stop using Kutum for PVE however, until you reach 265 AP with Kutum. After many tests, it is confirmed that Nouver performs better than Kutum in these brackets. More information about AP and DP brackers can be found here

For PVP, it really depends. If you are only doing tier 1 node wars for example, then it is better to stick with Kutum because the node is AP capped anyway and the extra DP can push you to a higher DP bracket.

Click image below to enlarge

End-game build [EVASION HYBRID]: link
Here is what to eventually aim for if you want to go for an Evasion hybrid build. I only recommend going for this if you can still maintain 269+ AP. Going full evasion is not really viable anymore and not considerd “meta” but if you do decide to go down this path then you should use the Tadd Shuriken. The build also uses items which are not used in most builds such as Muskans, Heve helmet and Leebur gloves but this will give you around 600 evasion in total and you will still deal very good damage. Make sure to put Caphras stones into your equipment for extra stats. You can also swap out both of the Black Magic Crystal – Precision for Crystal of Elkarr (best in slot) instead but these are very costly and harder to obtain.

Optional crystals:
Boots: Black Magic Crystal – Adamantine/Red Battlefield Crystal: Adamantine
Gloves: JIN Magic Crystal – Viper/Black Magic Crystal – Sturdiness

Consumables

When grinding, use Simple Cron meal and either Beast’s or Giant’s Draught depending on the area you are grinding.

For PVP, it is recommended to use Exquisite Cron meal because it is now better than using a four food rotation. If Exquisite Cron meal is unavailabe for some reason, you can use the following: Knight Combat Rations, Kamaslyvia Special, Valencia Special and then King of Jungle Hamburger in that order.

The recipes for these are:

RESULT	INGREDIENTS	USE
Knight Combat Rations	Dark Pudding x1, Ham Sandwich x1, Fruit Wine x1, Meat Croquette x1	All Attack +5, Damage against human race +5, All Damage Reduction +5 for 120 minutes
Special Kamasylvia Meal	Rainbow Button Mushroom Sandwich x1, Coconut Pasta x1, Fig Pie x1 , Fruit Wine x2, Rainbow Button Mushroom Cheese Melt x1	Max HP +150, Max Stamina 200, Back Attack Damage +5% for 110 minutes
Special Valencia Meal	Teff Sandwich x1, King of Jungle Hamburger x1, Couscous x1, Fig Pie x2, Date Palm Wine x2	Nullifying all Resistances +4%, Resistance against all Debuffs +4%, All Evasion +10, Decrease of damages from Monsters -6% for 110 minutes
King of Jungle Hamburger	Teff Bread x4, Pickled Vegetables x2, Lion Meat x4, Nutmeg x3	Ignores All Resistance +3%, Critical Hit Damage +5% for 110 minutes

If you don’t have 5 Critical Hit Rate then you may want to swap Margoria Seafood for the Kamaslyvia Meal because it’s very important to have 5 Critical Hit Rate. Make sure you use Margoria Seafood last because it has the smallest duration and you want to keep all your buffs up as long as possible.

The recipe for Margoria Seafood Meal is:

ICON	RESULT	INGREDIENTS	USE
	Margoria Seafood Meal	Prawn salad x1, Steamed Prawn x1, Stir-Fried Oyster x1, Butter-Roasted Lobster x1, Fruit Wine x2	Weight limit +50LT, Movement speed +2, Critical Hit Rate +2, Max HP +100 for 90 minutes

For your elixir, you will want to use the Cron Draught, Giant’s Draught. To create this, press “L” then select “Simple Alchemy” and add the ingredients listed below. You do not need any alchemy/processing profession level to craft these.

Cron Draughts will replace any elixir buffs you have used and cannot be stacked with other elixirs (excluding Perfume of Courage, Perfume of Swiftness, Elixir of Deep Sea, Khalk’s Elixir, Spirit Perfume Elixir, Whale Tendon Elixir or Tough Whale Tendon Elixir).

If you consume a Draught Elixir whilst another one has already been used, it will replace the first Draught Elixir. Cron meals and Cron Draughts (elixirs/alchemy) can be used together.

Also, when crafting Cron Draughts, you can substitute ingredients with higher grade ingredients. For example: instead of using Elixir of Shock x3, you can use Elixir of Strong Shock x1.

ICON	RESULT	INGREDIENTS	USE
	Giant’s Draught	Elixir of Fury x3, Elixir of Shock x3, Elixir of Penetration x3, Tears of the Falling Moon x1	All AP +10, Max HP +150, All Special Attack Extra Damage +10% , Movement Speed +3, Critical Hit +3, Max Stamina +200 Duration: 15 minutes

Useful Links and Credits

I would like to give a quick shoutout to Night_Strike in the Hashashin discord for allowing us to use the combo gifs he made and for being very active and helpful in the Hashashin community.
