Coco's Nat-Crit Assassin Guide

Hello. Today I am going to focus on Nat-Crit build for Assassin Cross.

Nat-Crit is one of the best ways to build an Assassin Cross. If you love solo-exploring with a tremendous killing power, Nat-Crit is the choice for you. With 300+ flee, 120 crit rate, 177+Aspd and 1-2k damage per hit you will tear the mobs apart.

Here are the pros and cons of this build:

Pros:

• 100% Critical rate without the use of Soldier Skeleton Cards.
• Very high DPS. 1-2k Crit with super high Aspd.
• Very good flee.
• Very effective for solo play.
• High fun-factor.
• Left click for victory!

Cons:

• Needs to farm a lot of rare cards.(atleast you have something to look forward to)
• Requires Endow to reach max-efficiency.
• Although he has very high flee, some monsters still prove difficult without a priest i.e Elder, Owl Duke etc.
• Mediocre at MVP. Unable to take out Mid-High End MVP effectively.

Few notes before we proceed:

1. I am assuming you have access to Bio Labs 2.
2. This guide is intended for complete beginners.
3. All screen-shots are from RMS Test Server.

Build

Stats:

• Str: Str is your primary stat and should kept at 90+ to achieve a good DPS. The exact number really depends on your equipment and headgear but keep in in multiples of 10s. You should have a minimum of 100 un-buffed Str or 110 using Str cards and food.
• Agi: Agility is your secondary stat which boost both your Aspd and flee. Aspd should be your main focus. With 92+20 Agi you should have around 177 Aspd using Undershirt+Pantie. Try to get 180 Aspd with buffs and Agi cards. Remember to have your base Agi above 90.
• Vit: If you do have any stat points left, put it in Vit. IMO 10-15 Vit doesn't really give you a high amount of HP and those points will be rather useful in Str or Vit.
• Int: Leave it at 1.
• Dex: Since you will have 100+ crit chance, leave this at 1.
• Luk: I prefer 52+8 Luk which gives you 120 Crit rate. I have tried playing with 100 Critical chance, but unfortunately monsters have 'Luk' and that reduces your Crit chance to them. For Example, with 120 base Crit you have only 85% crit chance on Joker.

Here is a basic build:

Equipment

Weapon:

• Jur: The best weapon for a Nat-Crit Sinx. It has 3 slots and is very easily upgraded to +7. Try to get +8-9 for maximum efficiency.
• Specialty Jur: It has 4 slots which can help you with adding extra Crit card, However, the only reason why this weapon fails is the External Bleeding. With 177+ Aspd you will get the effect every 10-15 mins and it takes away more than 100% of your HP. The only skill which will help you remove it is 'Compress'. Unless you want to permanently carry a Grade 8-Fencer Mercenary with you, I suggest you do not use this weapon.
• Slotted Elemental Jurs: Yes, they are better than Jur[3], but they cost a lot and you could use that money towards your cards. If you are focusing on a specific monster and would farm them for a long time, you can buy the specific elemental Jur for it. Remember, you can always override the element using Endow.

Headgear:

I would really leave this one for you. Some people prefer using good headgear with stats while others prefer an adorable headgear. Use a headgear which appeals to you.


Armor:

• Pantie: I prefer using this since the +5 Agi is really useful for boosting the Aspd. Try to get a slot if you have collected all your weapon cards.
• Thief-Clothes: A very choice if you need a slot. It is way cheaper than a slotted Pantie and is very light weight.
• Diabolus Armor: An expensive choice. Use it if you want to swap Agi points to Str.

Garment:

• Undershirt: Best used with Pantie for the +5 Agi. Slot it once you have enough money.
• Skin of Ventus: Try to avoid it unless it is cheaper than Slotted Undershirt.
• Rider Insignia: Good choice if you slot it and combo with Black Leather Boots.
• Asprika: Although it is a god-tier item, it is not really effective. The +30 flee really doesn't help you much since you will have 270+ flee.

Footgear:

• Black-Leather Boots: Very good choice if you can slot it. Try to combine it with Rider Insignia for the Flee bonus.
• Fricco's Shoes: A good alternative for if you don't have Black Leather Boots.
• Sprint Shoes: Try these if you are not using Black Leather Boots.

Accessory:

• Rogue's Treasure: The backbone for the entire build. Farm 2 of these using Sonic-Blow as an Assassin. Remember to keep your Agi and Str at 90+ to get the bonus.

Cards

Weapon Cards:

These cards should be your main priority and you need 3 of each on your weapon. Try to farm at-least 1 set as an Assassin before you trans. I am listing all the cards in increasing order of difficulty:

• Cruiser: Brute Monster
• Goblin Archer: Undead Monster
• Kobold Archer: Plant Monster
• Dullahan: Dragon Monster
• Goblin Steam-Rider: Formless Monster
• Panzer-Goblin: Demon Monster
• Rotar-Zairo: Fish Monster
• Assaulter: Demi-Human Monster
• Bloody Murderer: Insect Monster

HeadGear Cards:

• Vanberk Card: +2 Str is very useful for your damage.
• Holden Card: +2 Luk
• Nightmare Card: +1 Agi

Armor Cards:

• Porcellio Card: Best used for offense. The +25 Attack really helps increase your DPS.
• Picky Card: +1 str to help you reach 110 Str.
• Baby Leopard Card: Use this if you want to save 3 points on Luk.
• Elemental Cards: Bathory, Marc, Dokebi for specific monster to avoid skill damage.

Garment Cards:

• Whisper Card: +20 flee sounds awesome but is really unnecessary. You will have high enough flee and an extra 20 will not help a lot.
• Bapho Jr. Card: My personal favourite. +3 agi and +2 Crit. That saves you a total of 9 points(3 agi+6 luk).
• Ninetail Card: +2 Agi, good for your Aspd.
• Giant-Whisper Card: Very useful but a very rare and expensive card.
  
  
• Wanderer Card. This card if pretty debatable. It gives same stat as Whisper but makes you use Intimate while attacking. Use this if you want free flywing while attacking.

Foot-Gear Cards:

• Firelock Soldier Card: Use it if you want Str Bonus.
• Male ThiefBug Card: Gives you +2 Agi. Use it to reach the next Aspd bonus.

Pets

Do not underestimate the power of pets. If you have the patience of feeding them and ignoring the pet-talk, I would strongly suggest to get a pet to help you in your adventure.

• Yoyo Pet: The best pet for a Nat-Crit Sin. The +3 Crit and -1 luk helps you save 8 points from Luk.
• Poring Pet: The cheapest pet which gives you Crit+1 and Luk+2. You can also name it 'Poi Poi':P
• Picky Pet: Str+1, Atk +5. Use this one if you want to round of your str.
• Petite Pet: This one is for Aspd fans. Helps you save 2-3 Agi points.
• Lunatic Pet: Crit +2, Atk +2. Use it if you like its cuteness.

Leveling Spots

Although you have 100% crit chance, you should not ignore the normal leveling places. Hill-Winds, Les, Stings are still a good places even though they have very less defence.

• Turtle Island: This place is one of the best leveling/farming spot for Nat-Crit Assassins. Cruiser cards are very easy to get and you should be able to solo lvl 1 and 2 easily.
• Goat: An awesome money making place and leveling place. Make sure you take the repeatable quest.
• Grand-PecoPeco: Wind of Verdure, Mastela Fruits, Oranges and regular drops which sell for 500z+.
• Apocalypse: You will probably be the only char to hunt these. They drop Steel at a very high chance and the regular Venatu mobs also help with their drops.
• Nifflheim 1: The place with Loli and Bloody Murderer is a good leveling spot. You can also farm your cards at this place.
• Stalactic Golem: Although I hate them since they have no elemental weakness, they still give pretty good money with all the Star-Crumbs and Eluniums.
• Bradium Golem: An excellent place for leveling. Avoid Tatacho and Centipede unless your flee is 300+.
• Incarnation of Morroc(Solo): Use Aspresio and solo the Spirit(White) incarnations. The Diabolus rings will help you get all your weapon cards.
• Incarnation of Morroc(Party): I was surprised how easy this place was with a party. I went with 1 Priest and a Prof. Using EDP with makes it laughable with 5-6k+ each crit. Use Safety-Wall, lure and left click. Use Spider Web and Stone-Fling to teleport Angel mobs as you have no cards for them.
• Dolomentes: Farm here for Bradium Rings. They sell well.
• Sleeper: Good money if you have the time to break Great-Natures.
• Kiel 2: Good place to farm, Morpheus Shawl, Vali Manteau and Thin Blade. Use Stone-Fling and Backslide for Constants.

Hope the guide has provided a good insight on Nat-Crit Assassins. If I have left anything out please feel free to post in comments.
