The Treacherous Scoundrel
Choosing the route of fighting their enemies up and close, the swift Rogue employs a variety of underhanded tactics. Capable of utilizing poisons to their advantage, incapacitating the enemies and then hitting them with multiple quick strikes before vanishing from their sight.
Where Archers chose the path of ranged combat, Rogues embrace the shadows and close-quarters combat. Masters of debilitation and damage over time, they weaken foes through poison and crippling strikes. Their high evasion and speed allow them to dance around enemies, striking when least expected and fading away before retaliation comes.
Unlock
The Rogue is a tier 2 class that is unlocked by leveling the Scout class to level 25. As all T2 classes, it retains all of the previous T1 class' skills.
Pros and Cons
Comparisons are made considering classes from the same tier
Rogues specialize in debilitating enemies while dealing sustained damage. Envenom applies stacking poison that deals damage over time, while Disarm cripples enemy attack power significantly. Even when basic attacking, Double Attack provides higher consistent damage output when using light blades.
Their utility toolkit is impressive: Hide grants defensive bonuses as well as sets up a powerful ambush attack, while Poison React allows counterattacking melee attackers with free Envenom strikes.
Antidote provides a decent DEXHealing based heal with poison cleansing for allies.
On the downside, the Rogue has trouble as a frontline, lacking the Knight's ability to draw aggro and no survivability against enemies with high Hit. It does well with another class like the Mercenary or a Knight dividing aggro.
- Strengths:
- Excellent damage over time through poison stacking, specially against high HP enemies (maxHP damage)
- Strong enemy debuffs with Disarm
- High evasion and speed from AGI focus and Alacrity
- Counterattack potential with Poison React
- Defensive/offensive stealth option with Hide
- Extra attack chance from Double Attack, sustaining DPS even when out of MP
- Weaknesses:
- Lower burst damage compared to other DPS classes
- Poison needs time to stack and start dealing good damage
- Requires being in melee range
- Hide breaks on any action, limiting its offensive use
- Dies quickly if enemies are able to hit them
Stats
Rogues thrive on AGI for evasion, speed, and critical chance, combined with STR for damage and DEX for accuracy and S.Atk.
DEX is crucial for landing debuffs like Envenom and Disarm, as S.Atk determines application chance, as well as DEXHealing from Antidote. AGI synergizes perfectly with Alacrity and the Rogue's evasive playstyle.
VIT provides some survivability for when evasion fails. WIS is less important but helps with MP regeneration and Antidote healing (from the First Aid WISHealing component).

Recommended Builds
- For a poison-focused Rogue:
Prioritize STR and DEX for damage and S.Atk to ensure poisons land. AGI for evasion as secondary. Stack poison and let DoT do the work.
- For an evasion tank Rogue:
Heavy AGI investment with DEX secondary. Use Hide defensively and rely on Poison React counters. VIT for backup survivability.
- For a burst damage Rogue:
Balance STR, AGI, and DEX. Use Hide to set up ambush attacks with the bonus P.Atk and C.Chance, then follow with Disarm.
Note:
Rogues benefit from weapons with S.Atk bonuses to improve debuff application rates. Consider this when choosing gear.
Gear
Recommended gear for Rogues
- Weapons
- Daggers: Essential for Double Attack, both dagger types are good, one with C.Chance and speed, the other focused on S.Atk and DEXHealing. Choose based on your playstyle.
- Swords: Also trigger Double Attack, offer more raw damage than daggers, with higher P.Atk and C.Atk, but lack other synergizing bonuses.
- Armor
- Medium Armor: Ideal for the balance of Evasion, Speed, and some defense
- Light Armor: Can work for MP regeneration if using many skills
- Heavy Armor: Not recommended, as they hamper evasion, which is the Rogue's main survivability tool
- Accessories
- S.Atk accessories improve poison and debuff application rates
- AGI, DEX, Evasion and Speed accessories complement the Rogue's agile playstyle
- C.Chance accessories synergize with Hide ambush attacks
Scripts
Default
The default script balances offense and survival:
- Uses items when HP is critically low
- Activates Hide when HP drops below 40%
- Uses Antidote on heavily poisoned or low HP allies
- Maintains Tactical Positioning buff
- Activates Poison React when no buff is active
- Uses Envenom and Disarm on cooldown
- Falls back to basic attacks

Ideas and suggestions
These are all suggestions, you can't have 1 script which is perfect for every hunt, gear or playstyle
- Stack Envenom on tough enemies - poison damage adds up significantly over long fights.
- Use Disarm on high-damage enemies to reduce incoming party damage.
- Poison React is excellent against melee-heavy enemy groups - let them come to you.
- Hide can be used defensively when low on HP, or offensively to set up a powerful ambush strike. Hiding at the end of a battle after all regular monsters are gone is a good strategy to start the next battle with the buff.
- Position in the frontline to maximize Double Attack procs and melee skill usage.
- Antidote is situational - you can bring it against poison-using enemies but also when allies are low on HP and you need an extra boost.
