Here is a short straight forward guide to making a Crossbow Knight. In short you will have a vast amount of defence, average attack power and alot of health points (if you follow this or like this method)
In this topic there will be the classic stats build for a cross bow knight as well as what skills to pick and choose & which gear / sets to use.

X-Bow Knight:

X-Bow knight benefits and downfalls when compared to sword knight (epic)

Range- With X-bow it allows you to attack your foes from a range giving you a chance to kite and increasing your survival chance
Accuracy - Has lower accuracy compared to the Knight 1h sword
Attack speed - Has a lower amount of Attack speed when compared to 1h sword
Attack power - Has less ap than that of a 1h sword (but should have more according to description)
Defence- The same


Stat benefits for knights
Str- Adds ap, defence and HP (main stat for a knight)
Con- Adds accuracy (used for pvp / war against hawkers) also adds ap since its range(?)
Dex- Adds attack power, dodge
Sen- Adds critical hits against others

Standard Knight Stats for new commers (220)

Attack Power build
312 Str
300 Con
rest Dex

Default Build: Defence / Tank

These are customizable and some are better than others in aspects of defence, Heath points, crit and attack power. These numbers are to give you a general idea about how many points you need depending on how many and which stats you choose.

A very nice detailed guide.

Just pointing out that Soundless Vacuum needs to be Level 4 now for the 100% instead of level 3.
Strength should also be 312 minimum as to 300 minimum for the Aurum shield.

Edit: Slow Shot should say Level 9, whereas it is Level 5.
The image showing the skill tree is indeed level 9 though.

First of all, nice guide.

The substat for mspd is 40 instead of 60. (60/40 dodge/mspd).
Ego mask can get 75 def substat instead of 60.
And maybe you can mention the max substats you can get, for example 75 def for the mask or 75 acc for backpack/jolly mask. It would make the guide complete.

An (expensive) alternative for the acc jewel set is Deathshot set instead of Lava set. Up to you to fill in the best of the best (max equipment), like for mspd/ap etc.

But again nice guide!

A very nice guide Ser. By the way, I got a question among these stats you proposed below which would you prefer and why?

312 str
300 con
rest dex (or sen)

350 str
rest con

312 str
300 con
rest dex (or sen)

400 str
rest con

312 str
250 con
100 sen
200 dex

And second question, is it more valuable to allocate points into other stats when your Str attribute is 350 and above?

200 dex

And second question, is it more valuable to allocate points into other stats when your Str attribute is 350 and above?

The point of these numbers is to set parameters for each stat (eg- str is between 312-400 depending on what other stats you wish to choose) so the player can customize each stat to make their own unique stat build. for the 350 above it is more if you started out completely new knowing nothing of this game it would be the default build (adding all your points to str) as well as if you want to become a support knight / Defence knight. If you look at the way it is set out you can see it goes str, con, x. Making Str the primary, con the secondary and if you want to customize even more put the rest of your points on x. I prefer all of these as they define which sort of knight you are (Def, AP, Crit, Int) this here just gives you the knowledge in which to set the boundary for that stat.

Edit: My favourite build out of all my knights is a str con dex build that i would recommend

Xbow KNIGHTS Fails. MACE/SWORD Knight ROCKS !

[PinoyXpridE]

pshh

I am just saying the truth

[Phish]

Not a bad start. Here are a few things I want to point out:

Accuracy - Has increased amount of accuracy compared to the Knight 1h sword

Crossbows actually have less accuracy, the only reason you may be able to achieve higher accuracy more easily on them is because they require less skill points than 1 handed mace knights do, and can afford to max all accuracy passives easier.

Attack speed - Has an increased amount of Attack speed when compared to 1h sword

It's actually less. Don't let the percent number alone in your stats window fool you: http://forums.warppo...2-attack-speed/



Also, needs more sen builds.

Edit: you sure about the accuracy O.o? I compared my knight when it was 1h to xbow and xbow had more, but that was quite a while ago...

Thanks for the answers Ser, and two more is 250 con more preferrable to 300 con as the minimum?

And in this build below:

312 str
250 con
100 sen
200 dex

Is the 100 sen really useful? Thanks!

250 Con is used only if you want to use three stats, 300 con for two stats, anywhere between the two is perfect for making a knight build.

As for that build, it is for more war / cg as you get critical + the buff which increases your chance of landing a critical hit as well as having the attack power from the dex.

[jerremy]

You have one handed im passives, do they also count for crossbow? I thought only the bow ones..

My knights ages old, it was once a sword then mace and now xbow knight ;D ofc ill have all passives

[jerremy]

Oh i see, thanks ^^

[jerremy]

Then i have to say, you don't really need it if you're crossbow right? Would only be a waste of 800IM points (or zulies if you buy in game) if you only use crossbow.
Should be a bit more clear in the guide, or people who try crossbow knight might buy these passives and then realize it's useless to have.

[tythemuss]

Shall be re updated between a week and now, now that i can access forums once again

[Feuer]

ty for pulling this back up, it'll help with calculating stats and skills against the new updates coming out.

also note CON isn't the alt AP stat for xbow, it's dex. since xbow is now shared with scouts as a choice of weapon.
