	~~=== Weapons ===~~
	* {{Item List \|id=1434 \|item=Eden Group Spear I \|simple=yes}} While not usually mentioned, the Eden Group Spear is still a decent and early alternative to make use of. While it has good ATK, It can also be enchanted by Weapons Expert BK with 3% ATK and, essentially, racial cards against a choice of Brute, Plant, Insect, Fish, or Dragon.

	~~== Builds ==~~

	~~=== MVP Killer (Vanishing Point/Cannon Spear/Overbrand) ===~~

	* STR:120 (complements gears that require you to have 120 STR)
	* AGI:120 (for the Imperial Set bonus, and greatly helps Vanishing Point Spamability)
	* VIT:50+
	* INT:1-50
	* DEX:95-100
	* LUK:1

	An non [[Inspiration]] MVP Killer-built Royal Guard sports high STR for damage, as well as good DEX and VIT for additional damage and survival, respectively. The Royal Guard may choose to have some INT for the SP usage as typically it takes two casts of Overbrand to drop a mob of monsters if the character is not near a wall. High AGI coupled with [[Spear Quicken]] will make [[Vanishing Point]] a powerful single target DPS skill, usually for MVPing purposes.

	This build is centered on high overall ATK, which of course requires high ATK Spears (Imperial Spear, Glorious Spear, Crimson Spear, Gelerdria) are excellent Spears to use with Overbrand, Cannon Spear and Vanishing Point. The more recent Crimson Spears and Lances, at a high refine, are also excellent options, due to their varied elements, to replace certain options.

	*Spear Quicken also has synergy with Overbrand, boosting the damage of the first hit. Some RGs may not max Spear Quicken in order to have more points for other skills like [[Sacrifice]] and [[Battle Chant]] (using RG points for Crusader skills is an option though of course).
	*[[Shield Spell]] should be at least level 1 for the large [[ATK]] boost.
	*[[Moon Slasher]] is an additional skill that is also boosted by the level of Overbrand known. One can use Moon Slasher to attempt to immobilize monsters, then strike with Overbrand as a combo. For single targets, [[Shield Press]] may be a better option to stun.
	*Additional skills rely on the type of environment the build is used for.

	~~=== Cannon Spear / Vanishing Point Build ===~~

	* STR:100+
	* AGI:80-100
	* VIT:90-100
	* INT:1-50
	* DEX:90-100
	* LUK:1-28

	This build functions similarly to the standard Overbrand-focused builds. High STR is of greater importance, as it directly influences [[Cannon Spear]]'s damage formula. Cannon Spear has a longer, though narrower AoE than Overbrand, costs half as much SP, doesn't require a wall for optimum damage, and does not scatter mobs. However, it is important to note its strict AoE path and 2 second cooldown. Due to the skill hitting anything in its path, its easier to gather and lead mobs around for better efficiency. Status effects can be an option to spread through multiple foes.

	Spear Quicken isn't necessary to boost damage/DPS, though Vanishing Point is still a reliable secondary option for single and/or high flee targets. [[Shield Spell]] Level 1 will still benefit Cannon Spear, greatly. Any spear recommended for Overbrand will also function well with Cannon Spear. However, Cannon Spear will benefit more from ranged attack boosts, such as Expert Archer enchants and Archer Skeleton cards, for higher damage.

	~~=== Banding ===~~

	* STR:120
	* AGI:90-100
	* VIT:90-100
	* INT:1~80
	* DEX:100~120
	* LUK:1

	A team-based (or dual-cliented) build that utilizes [[Banding]] to increase power and defense. The general build doesn't differ greatly from its solo Overbrand or Cannon Spear counterparts. However, Banded focused builds can also consider the [[Hesperus Lit]] and/or [[Genesis Ray]] skills to add additional options that require, at least, three and two Royal Guards, respectively.

	Banding's HP sharing can be a blessing or hindrance that depends on the average [[Max HP]] of all participants. In addition, each RG must be within a 7x7 radius of each other to benefit from the effects. This can require some coordination, though the combined effort of multiple Royal Guards can lead to powerful damage and tactics.

	~~=== Reflect Damage Build ===~~
	~~'''Note:''' ''Though doable, this build is outdated from revised skill mechanics''~~

	* STR:50
	* AGI:1
	* VIT:100-120
	* INT:100-120
	* DEX:50
	* LUK:1

	Formerly a popular build, mainly centering on [[Reflect Damage]]. The main requirements needed for this build were SP and [[Kaahi]] from a Soul Linker to heal from normal attacks. A good SP pool was necessary to keep Reflect Damage from deactivating too quickly. Equipment for this build relied on autocasted skills and effects, such as CD in Mouth, Ring of Flame Lord, and Moonlight Dagger. The post-balance update saw Reflect Damage receive a capped number of reflects, an 80% chance to reflect at max level, along with removing its ability to reflect magic and ranged attacks. Furthermore, the amount one can reflect was restricted by one's [[Max HP]] and there are instances where Reflect Damage and [[Shield Reflect]] are disabled to prevent abuse.

== Overview ==

[[Image:Royal Guard.jpeg|thumb]]
Royal Guards are an elite order of [[Crusader]]s and [[Paladin]]s that originally served under King Schmidtz of Glast Heim. King Schmidtz knew that to defend his kingdom from the terrors and chaos of the world he would need a special defense unit that answered only to him. That is how the Griffon-riding Royal Guards came to be. Their name is often abbreviated and then referred to as just "RG".

At a glance, this class has relatively good HP pool and an excellent SP pool, when compared to their class counterpart. Unlike [[Rune Knight]]s, which are typically forced into Dragon Breath types of builds, the Royal Guard has the option of playing with builds that involve [[Banding]] two or more Royal Guards together; a Royal Guard can play Defense or Offense very effectively, given proper foresight of his/her skill tree. In addition to gaining new and powerful offensive skills, the Royal Guard can easily draw upon its older skills, such as Guard, Spear Quicken, Sacrifice, and Rapid Smiting. This makes for one very powerful, vastly dynamic, and exciting class.
