For PvP Seraph

Stat Build

Seraph is a class whose damage is entirely based on attack rate and critical damage- unless you are a Merkaba Hanzelrusha player. This means that you will have to keep in mind that there is a modified block formula in this game and build your character around it. The block formula is 4800% critical chance, but even though your character has that amount of CC it will still miss hit a lot. That is why playing any kind of ICD characters in PvP is in general difficult.

That being said, you will go for either full STR or full DEX. Damage wise I personally do not think that STR from stat points will increase your damage notably, so I chose to go with full DEX. The reason for this is that it will be a lot easier to reach 4800% critical chance.

Stat build: Full STR or full DEX


Armor

You are going to use Aurum armor. This armor with its better set bonuses will enable you to dish out more damage than with Kalgas and gain more health Points.

Weapon and Shield

As a full donor built Seraph you will be aiming for the absolute best items in game; donor equipments. Equip yourself with either Dark Soul Shield ATK or Sacred Shield ATK and Dark Soul Stick, Sacred Stick or Stick of the Forgotten Paradise. However if you happen to find a cheap ATK knuckle, go for it. Every little bit of money will be useful in the future.

Fashions

This part is pretty much straight forward:

- Donor fashion
- FWC Champion Cloak 3
- 40RP mask or similar


Pet

There are two types of pet to take into consideration, namely the tiger and lion. While the tiger gives STR stat which will increase your damage output, the lion will increase your survivability with STA, which is really good. If you feel like there are too many Arcanists and non-donor players in general being landing devastating blows too often, a lion with decent increased critical damage awakenings will help out a lot.

Pet: Lion or tiger


Accessory

There are two accessory sets to choose: either Donor accessory or Vote accessory. Although Donor accessory has better stats, the difference in price between D.A. and V.A. is so great that having a Vote set would not be bad either.

Accessory: Either Donor set og Vote set, depending on how wealthy you are


Awakening and Piercing

This is the tricky part of the guide. Since I no longer have Seraph, but am making this guide based of facts from my memories, I have to do some calculations to figure out how you should exactly awake your items.

Before calculating, these are the awakenings you will need anyway:


  • Helmet: 900% ICD (Increased Critical Damage aka Increased Additional Damage of Critical Hits)
  • Suit: 900% ICD
  • Boots: 900% ICD
  • Accessory: 1 x 300% ICD
  • Fashion set: 4 x 900% ICD
  • Weapon: 900% ICD
  • Shield: 900% ICD



Calculation:

As you can read from the calculation, you are lacking approximately 2610% Critical Chance. This can be reached by awakening the following:



  • Cloak: 300% Critical Chance
  • Gloves: 900% Critical Chance (It's rediculous, but you're FD, so...)
  • Mask: 300% Critical Chance
  • Accessory: 4 x 300% Critical Chance. (4 parts)



You should now have more than 4900% Critical Chance. If you can find a way of replacing the 100% Critical Chance with stats for increased damage, such as ICD and STR, then do it.

Note: Excuse me for the variety of font size. It is a glitch and I cannot do anything with it.


Tips and Tricks

- Always use necessary buffs before entering the PvP arena

- Make sure that your speed always is 200%. This is important, as your only tactic of killing players is simply by chasing them

- If you have the urge of increasing your damage output for easily kills, replacing 200-300% Critical Chance will not be a big deal. However having 4200% Critical Chance only is not recommended as your hit rate will notably be reduced.

- Do not attempt to kill FD Templars, unless they are STR or ICD types.

- Do only attempt killing FD Mentalists if you know that you will not be killed by their reflect damage buff.

- To kill someone, simply double click on their character and hunt them down. Be sure to kill Harlequins and Forcemasters as fast as possible as they very often have enough HP to survive a hit or two and counter attack.

- Watch out for incoming asals and HoPs. Avoid Harlequins Counter Attack as it has the potential of killing you.

- Keep an eye on your health point. With 200-300m HP you are an easy target for non-donor Harlequins, Forcemasters, Mentalists and FD Templars and Arcanists.




For PvE Seraph

This part of the guide will be short and straight forward. It is generally not much to discuss around PvE built characters.

Stat Build

STR is your best friend. Your aurum set will provide enough HP, so surviving hard punches wil not be a problem.

Stat: Full STR



Armor

There are two armor sets to be taken into consideration: Aurum set and Heroe's set. I have not tried Heroe's set yet, but I believe that it is the best armor for Seraphs due to its PvE% set bonus. If you do not have enough funds for this armor set, then Aurum set should be good enough.

Armor set: Aurum set or Heroe's set


Weapon and Shield

Donor weapon and donor shield. Nothing more to say.


Fashions

Fashion set: Donor set
Cloak: Zombie Cloak
Mask: Any 40RP mask, preferably White Hipster. That specific mask is a lot easier to resell than other masks aside from Hipsters.


Pet

GM Tiger

Accessories

Donor set

Awakenings and Piercings

You should always look for a way to increase your total amount of ICD. However having some PvE awakenings is important.

Helmet: 900% ICD
Suit: 900% ICD + 4/4 MC
Gloves: 900% ICD
Boots: 900% ICD

Fashion: 4 x 900% ICD
Cloak: 50% PvE
Mask: 50% PvE
Accessory: 5 x 50% PvE
Pet: 900% ICD (for the reselling value)


Advantages and Disadvantages- PvP Seraph


Advantages


  • Ability to rebuff after death
  • An important support class in instances such as Monster Clash
  • Versatility. Being able to buff, PvP and PvE is something really unique about the class.
  • Has better HP than Slayer and Crackshooter
  • No need to switch gear between PvP and PvE
  • Soul of Rhisis buff can potentially save you from a devestating asal or Penya Strike



Disadvantages


  • Really, really, really terrible hit rate. You will mostly die if your opponent has high HP (approximately 600-700m), times his or her use of Remantis and knows when to counter attack.
  • Lower damage output than Crackshooter and Slayer
  • Lacks ICD set bonus in Aurum armor
  • Slow attack speed. It is comparable to Crackshooter's, but slower than Slayer's. This is the main issue with PvE Seraph.

I'm very much excited about this guide of yours, Jack. It's really nice to see another Forum user making guides and helping others around. I hope I can share some of my inputs here. Smile

Best of luck, pirate!

That's correct. Theoretically you should deal more damage using knuckle, compared to stick.

I have always been a fan of Seraph. And I use Sacred Knuckle(ATK) right after it was released. I'm not sure about the damage being stronger than a stick, but I did notice that I'm getting a lot of stun chance compared on using a stick.

Enlighten me but have you already added Seraph's Soul of Rhisis skill under PvP? I mean it is a good counter against Asal and HoP or even Aether for that matter.

Overall, it is a really good guide. I don't know if I have the right to judge or whatsoever but yeah. Would recommend this to players who might ask in-game. Kudos, pirate.

In this game, FS Seraphs aren't needed because of remantis being easily obtained and fully heals you. However proper support Seraph should be built with either full STA for the tankiness, full INT for the buff duration or a mix between both of them. Full INT Seraphs used to deal high amount of damage in PvP using merkaba, but I don't know if it still does.
