Overview

Story

The Kagerou and Oboro clans were once known as the Right and Left hand of the Feudal Lord in Amatsu. They displayed fearsome prowess, completing every task swiftly with precision. Perhaps due to Kagerou and Oboro's outstanding abilities, they were banished from Amatsu by the Feudal Lord who had grown fearful of them. Betrayed by the Feudal Lord, it is said that Kagerou and Oboro have hidden themselves in the shadows of history.

Decades have passed since then.

A new clan calling themselves the "Ninja Clan" have appeared in Amatsu and have steadily gained power over the years. It is rumored that the Jounins of the clan will teach experienced Ninjas, who pass the secret tests, the ways of the Kagerou and Oboro.

Builds

Magic

• STR: 1 ~ 80
• AGI: 1 ~ 90
• VIT: 80 ~ 100
• INT: 100 ~ 120
• DEX: 1 ~ 110
• LUK: 30 ~ 60

This build is similar to Kagerou's predecessor Job, Ninja, and utilizes same offensive magic skills and new supportive type magic skills. INT, DEX and LUK are the primary stat for Magic build to increase MATK output as well as decrease cast time of skills. One can opt to completely drop the DEX stat in favor of other stats such as STR and AGI with the use of Cast Time reduction equipments and 16th Night skill to increase weight capacity as well as increase ASPD. Note: 16th Night skill stacks multiplicatively with all Cast Time reduction skills, equipments, items and stats.

Kagerou's primary damage and supportive skills are Freezing Spear, First Wind, Flaming Petals, Exploding Dragon, Ninja Aura, Cicada Skin Shed and healthy mix of Ninja 2nd tier magic skills such as Blaze Shield. There are new supportive skills that both Kagerou and Oboro Jobs can get such as 16th Night, Pure Soul, Charm-Fire, Charm-Ice and Charm-Wind that directly or indirectly increase throughput.

Throwing

• STR: 90 ~ 110
• AGI: 80 ~ 100
• VIT: 80 ~ 100
• INT: 1 ~ 80
• DEX: 80 ~ 100
• LUK: 1 ~ 80

Throwing builds utilize newly strengthened throwing skills available to Kagerou and Oboro. The main throwing skills that are available are Swirling Petal, Kunai Splash, Kunai Explosion, and Rapid Throw.

With the exception of Rapid Throw, all throwing skills are based on STR to increase ATK, and DEX to increase the skill modifier. In the case of Swirling Petal skill, it utilizes the AGI stat in its skill modifier formula. Having high amounts of DEX and LUK will allow Kagerou to increase HIT and ATK of throwing skills as well as reduce cast time. It's worth noting that 16th Night skill will reduce significant portion of cast time of all skills so it's recommended that players don't focus too much on the INT stat.

With the combination of old and new supportive skills such as Ninja Aura, Cicada Skin Shed, 16th Night, Pure Soul, Charm-Earth, Charm-Fire, Charm-Ice, Charm-Wind and Cast Ninja Spell, both Kagerou and Oboro can deal substantial damage to their foes.

Killing Stroke

• STR: 100 ~ 120
• AGI: 1
• VIT: 100 ~ 120
• INT: 1
• DEX: 40 ~ 100
• LUK: 40 ~ 100

This build focuses on the Ninja's skill Killing Stroke, a mini-Guillotine Fist of sorts. STR and VIT are the two stats driving Killing Stroke's damage and are thus the main stats for this build. DEX and LUK can be used for Rapid Throw skill in conjunction with Killing Stroke to significantly increase the chance of killing your target. DEX also helps marginally with ninja skills cast time, but majority of the cast time will be reduced by 16th Night skill. A pure Killing Stroke Ninja may opt to discard some DEX and LUK in favor of additional STR/VIT for Killing Stroke damage but this is not recommended as the damage gained does not justify losing the benefit of Rapid Throw skill.

Equipment

Kagerou cannot wear transcendent-only or 3rd Job-only equipment. They are limited to equipment that is wearable by all Jobs, Ninja, Kagerou/Oboro, and 2nd Job equipment. This means that equipment such as Nidhoggur's Shadow Garb, Variant Shoes and Valkyrian Armor cannot be worn by them.

Currently on kRO, there's a crafting NPC that will craft "Modified, Improved, Enhanced" versions of certain transcendent-only equipments that's wearable by non-trans 2nd Jobs if the player brings necessary components. These new versions of equipments have modified stats that are much better than their old trans-only counterparts. This update came with Old Glast Heim update on kRO.
