Overview
Royal Guards are an elite order of Crusaders and Paladins 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 Knights, 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.

Equipment
DISCLAIMER: Most equipment listed are meant to be things to work towards, rather than "must-haves". In addition, some images/links may appear in an APPLE like form due to them not yet being available on the iRO item database.
Weapons
Eden Group Spear I 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. Like the other Eden Group weapons, however, its weight is 0, has no slots, and cannot be refined.
Hunting Spear [1] Pierces DEF of Brute targets. Good spear for Overbrand and Exceed Break. Malangdo Enchantable.
Crimson Spear [2] Crimson Spears usually require a moderate to high refine for best results, moreso than other spears. Since they can be a variety of elements, notably Holy and Shadow, having a group of them can be a good idea to cover options.
Imperial Spear [1] Good overall spear with High ATK and Weapon Level 3, having bonuses for Vanishing Point and Cannon Spear. Malangdo Enchantable.
Gelerdria [3] Great for killing specific types of MVPs. Note: MUST be paired with Storm Stone for such results.
