Spear Champion is one of the best class in terms of PvM in rose, famous for its High Movement Speed (Mspd), High Attack Power (AP), Average to High Defense (DEF) and multiple Area of Effect Skills (AOE skills, one skill that can hit multiple targets. Spear Champs, however, have their limitation is that their PvP skills is relatively weak, as the skill build is meant to take down multiple mobs quickly. In the build, I meant to get all 2 Spear AOEs, with the DEF Down AOE plus the 2-Hand Sword AOE, in total 4 AOEs to kill mobs.

Chapter 2: Skill build for the Champion

The sequence is for reference only, you may develop your own sequence, this sequence meant for fastest leveling. Here I assume you know where to level and so on, I only give the steps to follow, how to execute is your own preference.

Skill name according to the number on the pictures.
1. Weapon Mastery
2. Power Overflow
3. Two-Handed Mastery
4. Spear Mastery
5. Heavy Attack
6. Spin Attack (AOE)
7. Two-Handed Sword Mastery
8. Piercing Lunge
9. Voltage Crash
10. Advanced Two Handed Mastery
11. Battle Sense Mastery
12. Advanced Spear Mastery
13. Achilles’ Heel Strike
14. Combat Resilience
15. Combat Cry
16. Berserk
17. Quick Step
18. Advanced Two Hand Sword Mastery
19. Seismic Impact

My suggestion in the Sequence in learning the skills.
1. Weapon Mastery (Skill 1). This is the first passive skill for you.

2. Two Handed Mastery (Skill 3)(You can see that I deliberately skip skill Double Attack, simple because it is not needed as pre-requisite, so save up Skill Points (SP) on this.

3. Spear Mastery and Heavy Attack (Skill 4 & 5). These two skills should be learnt together with Two Handed Mastery. So you can have some attack skills plus the passives.

4. Spin Attack (Skill 6). Your first AOE, which will make you always welcomed in parties.

5. When you have all the above maxed, go back to Power Overflow (Skill 2). This is a self buff that gives you higher AP. Some people wish to learn it first than the Passives, it is ok, all depends on you, I will suggest get level 1 at least, then continue with the above.

6. At this point, you should be at level 55. Right now, save up your SPs, you do not need to spend them on other skills yet, Champion skills are more important to go for and makes you fight much better. So save up all the SPs, the Spear Tree AOE and the Heavy Attack is more than enough to get you level up to 100.
7. Work on the 2nd Job Change quest, become a Champion, then start following the rest.

8. If you have saved up the SPs starting from level 55. You should have 45 SPs to use for Champion Skills.

9. Get Berserk (Skill 16) (this is a super AP self-buff for Champions, 40% boost). At this point, 40 SPs left.

10. Invest all your points on Combat Resilience and Combat Cry (Skill 14 & 15) (This gives you the Second AOE which have a side effect to make your enemies weaker in DEF).

11. At this point, 32 points left, use 9 points to MAX Advanced Two Handed Mastery (Skill 10)

12. Use 9 points on Advanced Spear Mastery (The skill max at 18, but get 9 first). Then use 9 Points on the Third AOE Achilles’ Heel Strike (Skill 13).

13. So now, there should be only 5 SPs left, but you have three AOEs already, go and fight for higher level and gain SPs. Fill up the Spear Mastery and Battle Sense Mastery (Skill 11)for higher AP. Note: Starting from Level 10, Advanced Spear Mastery needs certain level on Battle Sense Mastery to level up. So do them at your own sequence.

14. After getting all these Passives Maxed, your AP should be quite high already. Now, pump 4 points on Quick Step (Skill 17). Makes you walk faster, get close to the mobs then boommmm.

15. Starting from here you can see, I deliberately skipped the Single Target skill Longinus Attack, simple because you already have 3 AOEs at lvl 100, it is not needed as you always want to get a big group and AOE the loads of mobs.

16. After all these, now we need go and try getting our Fourth AOE which is on the 2H Sword Tree. Go back to the 2 Hand Page, Start Learning Two Handed Sword Mastery, Piercing Lunge and voltage crash (Skill 7, 8, 9). Sequence is not important, you are just burning your SPs to meet the pre-requisite for the 2H Sword AOE. This should take away 22 SPs from you to get all three MAXED.

17. When you get all these three skills MAXED, you should see the skill Advance Two Hand Sword Mastery (Skill 18) unlocked already, get level 1 (Remember, GET LEVEL 1 ONLY at this point). Then it will unlock the last AOE of yours, Seismic Impact (Skill 19). Pump your upcoming skill points on it for higher power.

18. Right now, you have all Four AOEs and Essential Passives, for the rest of your SPs, you need to figure out how to spend them. At this point, if my counting is correct, you should be at Level 148.

19. My Suggestion to all is to get the Advanced Two Hand Sword Mastery Maxed (I am doing this too). The reason is that it adds the important accuracy. Skills do not miss in ROSE, but dealing half damage if you miss, nobody want to hit with half power, right, so get those accuracy. In case you want even more accuracy, go to the ONE Hand Tree for Soldier, the One Hand Weapon Mastery gives further boost in accuracy. The Attack Speed (Aspd) Passive in Champion tree is a choice, so all depends on your own preference.

20. Other than Accuracy and Aspd, you need to think about getting the Defense and HP passives in the common tree, for how to do that and what to add, you should try to figure it out yourself, you are at least level 148, and should not need any newbie guide like this one.

Chapter 3: Stats
Strength will be your main stat, so that is your main focus. Con gives important accuracy and it is the second stats for you to get. Last, it can be DEX for dodge, INT for Magic DEF and MP, or SEN for Critical and Anti-Critical (N.B. Skills never critical, so decide on your own what to get as third stat)

In the course for leveling up, I will suggest getting CON = Level. When you are at level 50, you should have at least 50 CON. Then pump rest to Strength.
For this part, if any champion veterans knows it well, please share with us.

Chapter 4: Equipments
Although you are good in killing the mobs, without those Defense and HP passives, you can be quite easy to die when multiple mobs attack you together, so refine your EQ at least to (5). Also, try to find Legendary or Reinforced from the field or from the market in Junonpolis, it is always good to look around the market.

For weapons, Harden Weapons will be the best choice, they are crafted by Artisan, if you are interested to get one, try Junonpolis, or shout inside the city to ask an Artisan to make one for you. (Remember what social skills, be polite, however, watch out for scammers, ask more info in game, most veterans in game are glad to help).

Chapter 5: Gems
Diamonds will give you the MOST AP, but my own preference is to use Rubies. Reason is they are cheaper (Particularly important for the true newbies without support from other chars), it also adds DEF, HP, Carrying weight. But if you are looking for True AP, Diamond is the best choice.

For Jewelry, Full Moon Ring is almost a MUST for champions after level 100. It adds 30 STR alone which is very good for Champs. At level 140, Lava Set (except the ring as you have FMR already) is a good choice. For level 50, Warrior Set, level 100, Flame Set. Union jewelry is good as they add 20 pure STR and able to be used since level 1, but they are very expensive.

One Handed Melee Weapons (Mace, Sword): 1 str = 0.65 AP
1 dex = 0.35 AP
1 sen = 0.1 AP

Crossbow: 1 str = 0.65 AP
1 dex = 0.35 AP
1 sen = 0.1 AP

These ratios do not take class AP passives into consideration.

1 con = 1.25 acc
1 str = 0.33 def
1 str = 2 HP
1 dex = 1.25 dodge
1 sen = 1 crit
1 con = 0.2 crit
1 int = 4 MP
1 int = 0.5 Magic Defense

Although they cannot use magic, they can use almost every type of weapon in order to inflict more damage onto enemies in battle. Soldiers use one-handed or two-handed swords, blunt weapons, spears, axes, and shields. Soldier can make a class change and become a Knight or a Champion.

Resume Soldiers can advance to Knights imbued with holy power. Knights always lead the forces at the front line with their excellent defense, and can withstand attacks from stronger enemies. Characteristics Knights can equip heavy armor, such as plate armor, and large shields that can offer protection to most of the body. They can also wear head gear like full helms which cover most of the face. Weapons Knights favor the use of a One Handed Weapon and a Shield at the same time. Although their attack strength may not be great, their strikes are fast and accurate. Knights that want to specialize in ranged attacks can equip Crossbows. Battle Strategy Since Knights possess decent physical strength and high defense, it is possible to deal with stronger enemies when supported with magic skills that amplify their abilities. When in a party, Knights can lead the battle and directly confront the enemy as the first line of defense. They are not only efficient in protecting party members, but they can also cast some support magic skills to aid party members from a distance. Main Skills Knights tend to specialize in the use of One Handed Swords for their speed and accuracy. They also use Shields to block enemy attack and have support skills that increase the defense of the caster or party members, as well as other enhancements. Against weaker enemies a Crossbow Weapon is preferred to increase damage.

Resume Soldiers can advance to Champions through ceaseless self-training in the art of offensive combat. Champions can deal with many foes at a time with their powerful attack strength. Characteristics Champions usually equip lightweight armor made out of titanium or other high refined metals. They can also equip Backshields when fighting against a stronger enemy. Weapons Champions generally use heavy weapons such as Two-Handed Axes, Two-Handed Swords or Spears. Battle Strategy Champions are ideal for fighting a large number of foes at one time with their powerful attack strength. However, since they are not as defensive as the Knight class, it may be difficult for them to battle stronger enemies. In a party, a Champion can support a Knight by damaging enemies while the Knight defends the Champion from attacks. Main Skills Champions specialize in skills which increase attack strength and inflict great damage, but they also have access to abilities that can increase their attack accuracy and stun their enemies.

Drag and place the items you want to sell into the Vending window. You can then set the Price you wish to sell at as well as the Quantity if available.

To make levelling easier, it is possible to form a party with other players. You can either create a new one or join an existing one. In a party, Exp is shared among party members. From the party option you can change how the drop will be share among the people in the party and how to share the experience points you will get. Experience points can be share in two different ways, first you can choose equal share and you can also choose distributed by level (that way higher level will get more Exp). Each time a party levels up, all members will have their HP and MP restored. EXP gain will increase at level up as well.

You can choose an attack mode in the Option Window under the Play tab.

1st attack mode is suggested for character classes that use more skills than others, such as Muse.
After targeting an enemy by clicking the left mouse button, you can choose a skill to attack.
Double clicking the left button of a mouse will initiate attacks.

2nd attack mode is convenient for characters that use fewer skills and more physical attacks.
A single left click of the mouse will both target an enemy and initiate attack at the same time,
so the 2nd attack mode is easier for melee class characters to hunt monsters.

“Akram Kingdom”
Akram Kingdom welcomes the Visitors.

After a heated debate among the factions of the Akram Kingdom, it was decided that the Visitors would be accepted as a part of the Akram Kingdom. Visitors would be given identification on an individual basis and provided jobs suited to their needs. The Akram Kingdom oversees all Factions within the planet of Junon; and soon enough, even Visitors would begin to fill positions in those factions.

——————————————————————————————————-

“Arumics”
The secretive Arumic organization.

The Arumic organization is shrouded in mystery. Outsiders do not know its origins or even the name of its founder. It is rumored that the Arumics come from a distant world and that their sole purpose for business in Junon is to find a way to get back home. The Arumic organization specializes in producing and selling magical products such as potions and magic books. As their unique magical products grew more popular, they began to compete with the Ferrell Guild, the merchant organization.

——————————————————————————————————-

“Ferrell Guild”
Anthony Flight, the genius, revolutionizes technology by inventing the Mana Engine.

Based on the remarkable invention of the Mana Engine, the Ferrell Guild developed a form of transportation known as the Cart. The creation of the Mana Engine signaled a period of rapid scientific progress on the planet of Junon. The Ferrell Guild leaders, who have been frontrunners of interplanetary travel, are led by supermagnate Sum Lun, and are rumored to be losing their flourishing business to magical teleportation. To join the Ferrell Guild, just talk to Arothel, he’s the guy holding the storage key and is found in the City of Junon Polis.

——————————————————————————————————-
“Righteous Crusaders”
Born defenders of justice!

Originally, the Righteous Crusaders were mercenaries for hire. However, they quickly became known for their brave exploits. In battle, they earned the respect and honor of the people of Junon. When the Junon kingdoms were united into one, the Righteous Crusaders were promoted to become the official knights of the Akram Kingdom.The Righteous Crusaders actively protect the merchants of the Ferrell Guild. Righteous Crusader guild representatives can be found at the gate where you would enter the Training Grounds.

——————————————————————————————————-

“Junon Order”
The Junon Order will always bring glory to the Akram Kingdom.

The national religious authority of the Akram Kingdom, the members of the Junon Order have been endeavoring to deliver love and peace to the people. The Junon Order’s Holy Knights have always disputed against the Righteous Crusaders for the spot of official protectors of the Akram King of Junon. This faction is mostly designed for Hawkers, Raiders and Scouts. If you know where Idiosel is located in the City of Junon Polis, then the House of Junon Order is situated just directly south of her. You should be able to find it easily.

——————————————————————————————————-

“Ikaness”
Born on all seven planets, yet from no planet at all.

Since the Ikaness have no rightful lands, they have been slowly but surely outcast by the natives of each planet. Feeling excluded, much like the God Hebarn himself, the Ikaness waged battles across the seven planets, in order to claim a land of their own. Having no God or Goddess of their own, the Ikaness targeted the citizens of Junon primarily, because of their privileged love of Arua; a Goddess meant for all. It is rumored that Ikaness are behind some of the most devious plots among the seven planets; including the creation of Castle Gear.

——————————————————————————————————-

“Gypsies”
For some reason, Gypsies always look gorgeous.

Romanticists who overcome pain by dancing and singing, the Gypsies wander regularly from planet to planet. Their art is precious and most sought after. Visitors should consider themselves lucky to be allowed near their circles. Although the Gypsies have been linked to dark magic on several occasions, they still remain popular and hold booming businesses all over the planet of Junon… and maybe beyond. Gypsies like Mina, Bellia and the rest usually sells accessories in very low price. Other gypsies sell Dance Scrolls when you want to impress somebody.

Arua’s Servants tend to say:
“If ever there’s a war to fight for the entire Sea of Souls… the Visitors will always be victorious!”

Hebarn’s Vassals also have a saying:
“The Visitors are mighty and legendary, yes, but they are not perfect. For neither is Arua.”

Born on all 7 planets, yet from no one planet at all, the Ikaness were without rightful lands, as they were slowly but surely outcast from the natives of each planet.

Feeling excluded, much like the God Hebarn himself, they waged battles across the 7 planets, in order to claim a land of their own. Having no God or Goddess of their own, the Ikaness targeted the citizens of Junon primarily, because of their privileged love of Arua; a Goddess meant for all.

The Ikaness formed an interplanetary organization that officially took arms against the Goddess Arua. This organization (known as The People in Red Robes) began to terrorize the inhabitants of Junon, in hopes that Arua’s utopia would fall apart and open a window of opportunity for Hebarn to step in, to usurp the Goddess of Creation, and take charge. For it is said by the Red Robes that all who follow Hebarn will see Arua’s undoing, as well as receive promised gifts of land, power, and dominance from The Dark God.

For this reason, Arua created 7 magical beings that would protect the balance and peace across the universe. Arua’s first Visitors; immortal, innocent, and beloved. When the strange visitors first arrived in Junon, the natural inhabitants accepted them with awe, hoping that the divine beings would deliver them from any evil caused by Hebarn. Created to uphold all that Arua’s universe stood for, these Visitors were prepared to fight against Hebarn’s dark evildoers and all that opposed Arua’s love. No one could help but feel protected whenever the very brave, very strong Visitors were around.

The Ikaness were threatened by this, and opened a grand-scale war against Junon. The First Ikaness War was won by Arua’s Visitors, of course; immortal titans, protected by the Goddess of Creation. The Ikaness numbers were dramatically lowered, and their people scattered once again across the seven planets. A treaty was formed: the Ikaness would be welcome on Junon, and even claim small parts of its lands, if the Ikaness were to remain peaceful forevermore. This peace treaty was generally accepted, and even other planets (like the third planet Eldeon) allowed the Ikaness onto their lands.

With the peace settled, it seemed as if the 7 Visitors would no longer be needed, so they disappeared amongst the seven planets until a day when Arua’s people would call for them again. And the Visitors became legend. Lost, but never forgotten.

But the People in Red Robes continued with their plots until present times. From Hebarn, word reached Junon that they would break the peace treaty, to have a second attempt at revenge and wage war on Arua’s universe once more. If a Second Ikaness War breaks out, the Visitors would have to return… and this time, a heckuva lot more than just 7 are going to be needed!
