Champion
Quick overview
“Though the force of his punches are feared far and wide, the Monk realizes that he has neglected something very important—his spirit remains unsatisfied. Thus his body and spirit are not yet in harmony. Through rigorous training and intense dedication, the Monk will finally tap into the strength of his entire being and become a Champion!”

Stats
The stats below is base from my experience here, you do not have to follow the exact amount I state here, feel free to mix them up a bit and see what works best for you.
Note:
· Do not buff yourself while editing your stats.
· Equip the gears that I listed default before editing your stats.
Str
250-285
The asura damage is base on your strength and intelligence.
Berry wise, I can carry around 230-250 berries depending on what gears I am carrying with me.
Dex
xxx
I add dexterity until I see my hit is 405 without any buff.
Agi
xxx
Once I’ve added dex I add agility and make my Aspd 195, again without any buff.
Int
120-130
I tend to make my sp around 5800, without any buff. Once you use Blessing this increase to around 5900 and depending on your equipments you can reach 6000 which is good.
Vit
130-160
Personally my health is around 210,000 to 225,000.
When I have low HP I deal more damage, when my HP is high, my damage is less.
Luk
xxx
Once you’ve added Str and Dex, look at your Atk.
For example your atk is 2473, add some Luk to make the last digit of your Atk 0 or 5.
Some explanation on stats.
Why not buff yourself while editing stat?
So in case you get debuff during PvP, you will not have any casting time.
Imagine if you buff yourself and your dex is ??? + ?? = 150 with buff. You fight, you get dispelled, you start having a cast time. Gets?
Why equip the default gears?
You don’t know? Because this is the gear you’ll be using the most. So base your stat on your default gears.
Champ Types
Asura
This is a close range offensive skill. Mainly what champs are know for. For this type of champ you want to use your default equipments (listed above).
To use: Zen > Fury > Zen > Asura > Berry (Repeat)
Throwing Spirit Sphere
This one is your long range offensive skill. For best damage use the 2x Fallen Bishop Hibram boots.
Note: Using 2x FBH will decrease your SP by nearly 1/8 and your HP around ¼.
To use: Zen > TSS (Repeat)
Full Asura
This is a full damage asura you can get with the gears I’ve listed above, you can still increase it by using consumables items such as Aloevera. To go full asura with your champ use your 2x Hollowring Cloak and your Tanee + Fbh boots.
Note: By using the full asura cloak and boots your HP will drastically decrease from 200K+ to around 120k – 140k. You’re more vulnerable of dying when going full asura. If you want to Full Asura a champ I advice you to use the 2x Orc Lord armor, in case he asura you first, he’ll die with you. Fun.
To use: Zen > Fury > Zen > Berry
Skill Combo
N/A
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t really paid much attention for this cool combo for champ. I’ve seen some people do it but I don’t really have much time to learn it due to the lack of shortcut keys on keyboard.
Quick Tactics
Fight against another champ is taking to long!
There are lots of ways to get the job done. Use your puppetring armor, if he has Fsoldier then go for GR + OL Armor along with your Avian Wings to reflect damage.
I try to TSS but he Pnuema all the time!
There is a skill called “Raging Palm Strike” snap next to him and use this, this will push him away from the Pnuema.
This player is fully buffed and has high buff reducts!
Put on your Valk.R + 3x Stormy knight weapon, and dispell him.
I cant kill this player, he is just too strong!
Put on the blue ifrit ring (accessory) wait till you get the reducts buff, then put the 4x Lord of Death weapon and just normal attack him, till he gets comatosed.
This fight is going way too long, I want to end it!
Use your strip weapon, and start stripping your enemy. I know its gross to kill a stripped player but oh well.
Damn, this player is damage is so high. But wtf is that hat he’s wearing!
You’ll come across player that deals a mass amount of damage because of the buff they get from their headgears. Check em’ out and if they’re not wearing any anti-freeze (scarf) then TSS them while using the Valk.R + 3x Stormy Knight weapon to freeze them. Then asura.
Ping
When I first started Ragnarok, my ping was 129. With that ping I could spam asura and tss in a decent speed. Although now my ping is 149-151. Still I can spam, but not as good.
There are also times when my ping goes up to 160+, this is when I start to find hard to spam asura.
So personally. If my ping is above 160. I wouldn’t play champion.
End Note
Hope this guide helps.
I understand there are new items in-game, this guide is base only from my experience.
If I missed anything out on the guide please feel free to message me, so I can make changes.
Short Story why I chose the Champion Class
It happened back in 2009. I was a newbie then. Only sacred gold wing existed via PvP ladder prize. I mostly hang out inside the PvP room because that’s where the action takes place normally. One time, while I was there gobbing away with other players, I saw a champion called Yukumaru. I saw the way he fight, the way he spams, the way he uses champs to its full potential. That inspired me. So I created my first ever champion and named it Nadtorious. I wasn’t so good at it. But as times goes on I became more comfortable with the class. Sora Hikari invited me in his successful guild, everyone is friendly and open, best of all we dominate! It was not long until he gave me a Forsaken Valk Helm to complete my set. I ask a lot of people for advice on being a great champ. Perishable, Sora and Xerg was one of them. Not long until I was spamming good and got the hang of being champ. WoE was the best for me and a big guild fight after WoE was fun. Sora left, and I joined the Loli Kingdom guild, another successful guild until our beloved guild leader took a break. Up until now, I enjoy playing champion once in a while.
I’d like to give thanks to Yukumaru, Perishable, Unbreakable, Mello, kOokoO, Geek, Beautiful Butterfly*, Xerg, Sora and other people I came across with on the battle for_fild01.
Without these people, I wouldn’t have gotten knowledge of how great the Champion class is.
Deep respect.
Ps. If you don’t like the grammar you’re reading. Smd.
