Overview
When Satan Morocc re-emerged, some Monks abandoned their duty as loyal servants of God and chose to seclude themselves to further develop their physical prowess. They were looked down upon as "Power Mongers," but these Monks offered no excuses for their actions. In order to control their newfound power, they lost their humanity in the process. But they never forgot their roots and continue to use their power for righteous deeds calling themselves Suras - also known as Gods of War.
Sura is the third job for Monks and Champions. Suras gain skills that Monks and Champions have been lacking: Area of Effect attacks. Suras also gain a number of new skills and perks, including the ability to begin a combo at will; unique HP/ATK buffs and recovery skills; a maximum Spirit Sphere limit of 15 and two powerful skills based on HP: Tiger Cannon and Gates of Hell. Their ability to completely incapacitate up to 14 enemies for up to 8 seconds through the use of Cursed Circle proves formidable, especially in WoE where Suras are regarded as a core disabling class and necessary in every guild.
Job Change Guide
The Sura Job Change quest is fairly simple and very short. Applicants must:
- Kill 100 Desert Wolves
- Survive a room filled with Monsters for 5 minutes.
See Sura Job Change Guide for detailed information.
Tactics
Tanking Tips:
Reflect
High level monsters tend to change target after they are hit for the first time. Because of this, a tanker Sura is not effective if the killer is not one-shotting the mob. The mob will change targets and will target the killer. Note that this is based on the first hit on the monster. To counter this, a Sura can wear equipment that will reflect damage back to the attacker (the monster). Some examples include:
- High Orc Card
- Bison Horn & Thorny Buckler Set
- Sheep Hat
- Filir Hat
- Mask of Hero
- Strawberry Mouth Guard
With reflect equipment on, once any monster hits the Sura, the Sura will reflect a small amount of damage back to the monster, which does register as the "first hit". Therefore, the monster will not change target to anybody attacking it afterwards, and is "latched" onto the Sura. Boss protocol monsters however do not change target, unless the Sura is moving. This includes MVPs, and also non-MVP monsters that are still boss protocol such as Salamanders.
Knockback
When tanking an MVP with knockback abilities in Mental Strength without a 
Brynhild (or any other means of knockback prevention), to avoid the risk of being knocked around and having the monster change focus to the rest of the party it is recommended to stand against a wall.
Equipment
Headgear
Upper Headgear
The HP/SP boost per refine on this headgear makes it very useful for both MVP/Guillotine Fist builds as well as Tiger Cannon and Gates of Hell builds. The two most popular card options for this headgear are a 
Carat card and a 
Bungnisngis card.
Typically used at +9 for maximum HP and SP leech while leveling. Good for any physical damage based leveling build to save spending on consumables.
The best headgear to use when fighting Demi Human monsters or other players in PVP and WoE. Card options include Carat card for Guillotine Fist damage, Bungnisngis card for Tiger Cannon/Gates of Hell damage and a 
Kathryne Keyron card for TC/GoH cast time reduction.
The current best headgear to use Rampage Blast and Lightning Ride, at +9 for 7% Atk and 5% ranged atk. One slot to card it with Atk+ card.
Middle Headgear
Although expensive, this midgear is useful for the INT+1 and 2 Mdef it provides. Usually slotted with an 
Incubus card for Guillotine Fist damage or 
Maya Purple card to detect hidden characters primarily during PVP/WoE.
A cheaper slotted midgear than the option above.
Another popular midgear option, useful for its bonus +1 to all stats.
Lower Headgear
Useful for the +5 ATK.
3% reduction against Demi-human monsters.
+30 SP boost.
Armour
Excellent for Tiger Cannon and Gates of Hell damage due to the +20% HP. Obtained via the Battlegrounds.
Set bonus with 
Diabolus Ring for ATK and SP boosts for Guillotine Fist. Useful cards for this purpose include 
Porcellio card and 
Mangkukulam card.

Weapons
High ATK, two slots, level 3 weapon. Good for melee skills like Sky Blow, Tiger Cannon, and Guillotine Fist. Carded with 
Hunter Fly cards for leveling or 
Abysmal Knight cards for MVPing.
Lower ATK than Carga Mace, but can be enchanted at Malangdo for Expert Archer enchants. With Expert Archer enchants, it is generally stronger than a Carga Mace for ranged skills like Rampage Blast and Lightning Ride. Alternatively, the player can choose to enchant with Spell Enchants for reducing variable cast time for certain skills.
The weapon of choice against Demi-human targets for highest damage. Obtained via the Battlegrounds.
Mostly used for its Sacrament-like effect. Obtained via the Battlegrounds.
A purely defensive weapon for its 10% ranged damage reduction, can also be enchanted at Malangdo for Mdef enchants.
A superior Carga Mace for MVP purposes. It is a high attack Level 4 weapon and has two slots for Abysmal Knight cards.
A new replacement for Carga Mace for MVP/Leveling purposes. Best used at +15 due its high equip atk bonus and has two slots for Abysmal Knight cards.
A very superior mace for MVP purposes. At high refine level, this mace is able to beat 
Crimson Mace [2] in the term of performance. It is a high attack Level 4 weapon and offers two slots for Abysmal Knight cards.
Shields
Most useful all round shield for its 20% reduction from Fire, Water, Shadow, and Undead element attacks. To be carded with an appropriate racial reduction card.
A cheaper option for some races where a Valkyrja's Shield is not necessary.
Good for neutral reduction and some minor elemental reduction, although its effects require the item to be at +12 to utilise its full potential.
Garments
Usually used with high VIT enchants and combined with 
Temporal Vit Boots [1] at 120 VIT to boost maximum HP. Can be carded with a 
Giant Whisper card for more damage, 
Jejeling card for more HP or 
Raydric card/
Noxious card for reductions. Wealthier players may use a 
Deviling card for higher neutral reduction at the expense of elemental vulnerability.
An affordable all round PVM garment, with some elemental resistance, SP increase and SP leech for leveling purposes.
Can be enchanted for a total of 250 SP and carded with an 
Aliot card to become the best garment for Guillotine Fist damage, enchanted for a total of 20% Ranged atk and carded with an 
Menblatt card to become the best garment for Rampage Blast and Lightning Ride skills.
With an even stat spread this garment provides a number of useful bonuses, and at +9 provides more neutral reduction than any other garment. Raydric card is a popular card choice, or Deviling card to stack further neutral resistances.
One part of the WoE set along with 
WoE Robe [1] and WoE Shoes [1] for maximum Demi-human reductions during PVP/WoE. Recommended cards include either a Raydric card or Noxious card.
Footgear
When at +9 and carded with a 
Firelock Soldier card yields the highest max HP and SP value of any footgear. May also be carded with a 
Sohee card for more SP for Guillotine Fist.
These boots are used in conjunction with a VIT enchanted

Green Ferus card for highly VIT focused builds.

Diabolus Robe [1] for ATK and SP for Guillotine Fist.
