As a gift for thanking you all for the fun time passed together i wanted to share with you all some tips ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To all my beloved BK's on Genesis (this can apply also to Inception) The question of 1 million dollars: How do i build BK? 1st step: choose agility Remember, the more agi you have, the harder it will be for you to combo effectively. BUT if you can manage to do combo with 3 skills only per each combo(i mean dont to 2x times cyclone or 2x twisting ect) you can try up agility. Agility is also important becouse of pvp rate (no reason to go 1k agi for big combo dmg, if you miss 9/10 combo) 2nd step: Choose your Total HP You need to decide (based also on your gear, set exc or set seed) how much total HP (not vitality) you want to have. You can go lower hp if you go high agi (since def helps take less damage). Me personally i would reccoment between 70k- to 100k total HP (100k+ only with seed set!!) 3rd step: You put 9200 energy. 9200 is max swell when you have full ml on it, which is MOST important ml together, after stun!! 4th step: You put vitality untill you reach your previously decided total HP! Rest points you add all to str ofc ! 5th step: BALANCING ENERGY This is what helps a bk have both tankyness and dmg! Now you have 9200 energy. The process is very simple: 1) You remove 600 energy (for example 1 fruit reset ene, or after rr you put 11600 energy) 2) You compensate the lost hp by adding vitality (untill you reach the SAME total hp as before) 3) you add remaining points to str 4) you compare combo damage before and after (if combo dmg is higher, you keep repeating step 1,2,3,4 and so on) . OFC last step is most crucial part. You must compare damage on same target! (aka no changing rings, set buffs ect) Regarding Agility: (Applies to all classes) Pay close attention to cyclone animations! attack speed has big spyke shifts! (for example, if you have 300 speed , invented number, instead of 305, you dont change animation and loose ton of dmg! ) Attack speed is not linear!! it has speed "bumps" aka after X attack speed you change animation! Speed points from items (exc weapon option, pendant, seeds, ESPECIALLY ww ring!!, pumpkins! have more value then it shows! For example, when i bought a pend edr speed i managed to remove around 400 points from agility and had same animation as before!! Basic Combo Guide: You have 3 diffrent basic patterns: 1) Cyclone - Twisting slash - Death stab 2) Cyclone - Twisting slash - Destruction (only when enemy low and needs 1 combo to kill) 3) Cyclone - Death stab - Twisting slash 4) see advanced combo guide There are many small factors that differentiate an average BK to a good BK. Hidden cooldown on combo 1) Cyclone - Twisting Slash - Death Stab is the basic combo most commonly used. What many BK's fail to notice is that it has a hidden cooldown on Death Stab !! Lets say you use the 1,2,3 buttons to combo. If you spam 1,2,3 - 1,2,3 most of the time , even if you press corectly you would not do second combo. There are 2 solutions in order to have more control on combo and avoid this problem. 1) Every time you finish a combo you let go of Right Click on mouse, and press it again after pressin 1 (Cyclone) on your keyboard. Thus starting second combo. 2) If you cant deal with releasing right click every time you combo, you can set as number 4 the CS skill for BK. (Thus doing 1,2,3,4 each combo, this way you will not attack for a spit second since CS skill is disabled on normal server!) Personally i got used to releasing right click every time and pressing it again to start new combo. It eventually will give you more control while you combo, avoiding the "spamming" state. Correcting Combo!! Very important Learning to correct combo and is what gives an edge to a good bk vs a "macro" bk. We all know about hit stuns and ref stuns. Its a pain in the ass especially for BK. The question is, when do i start combo over again and when do i close combo? 1st scenario. You get ref/hit stunned after cyclone - You start over combo. (By the time you do cyclone and deathstab, most of the time you wont close combo in time! especially if you get hit stunned again) 2n scenario: You get ref/hit stunned after twisting slash: You dont start combo over again, you just do Death Stab to close combo and start next one! Starting combo again will just make you loose the time that you made cyclone + twisting. Basic double combo Pattern 3 (cyclone - stab - twist) + pattern 1(cyclone + twist + stab). No need to release right click after 1st combo but need to release it after second. Advanced double/triple/quad... ect combo: The pattern itsefl on paper is simple : Cyclone - Destruction - Twisting + repeat + repeat + Cyclone - Twisting slash - Death Stab + release right click. Execution is less This combo uses the animation cancel mechanic for BK. It starts from around 8000-9000 agility to be relatively easy. (depends also on your items). You will notice when doing 1 cyclone + destruction that you actually do 2x destruction skill (1 without animation and another with the classic animation stuck from destruction) While you are doing cyclone, towards the end, if you have already clicked Destruction, it will activate the first Destruction before locking you into the second. The "trick" is to use only the first one for combo, by holding Destruction just the time you are towards the end of the cyclone animation and switch to twisting slash before casting the one that will lock you in destruction animation. It is a really small windows to avoid getting stuck in destruction! but (as some of you might have sufferred it :D) is very deadly when paired with the second combo or even 2-3 consecutive destruction combo. OF COURSE you can do 2x,3x ice combo before doing death stab combo without releasing right click !! (my personal record, and i remember i recorded it, was 3,7 combo per second at 1k speed ) The animation cancel mechanic doesnt apply only to destruction but also to twisting slash! Not as punishing as destruction one, but with the penalty of having to let go of right click every time you finish combo, as stated above. Still is faster combo if mastered than traditional basic ones. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Usefull to build MG - SM - ELF - SUMM - DL I discovered this method when i made that disgusting and unbalanced Fenrir BK dps build (some of you might remember) 1) decide your desired HP. (Based on your gear, socket set = more hp, DDI set can go lower hp more def since it has more damage decrease) 2) just maximize your dps formula withe the points left (Damage per hit x hits per second = DPS) How to know how many hits per second you are doing at a specific speed point? Easy: 1) open excel 2) write how much mana the skill consumes 3) write your max mana 4) start a screen record software and start attacking untill mana regen kicks in (its 5 seconds) 5) watch your recording and note on excel what was your lowest mana left before recovery kicked in. 6) max mana - lowest mana left = mana consumed 7) mana consumed / how much the skill consumes = how many skills were casted in 5 seconds. Just note how much is your critical hit and multiply. That's your DPS. Thats how you mathematically maximize your DPS based on a "Budget" of points you have left after you decided your HP. If you have similar results for low agi and higher agi, go for the higher agility since it will give you also PVP def and attack rate. You can further write down a complete formula and mathematically maximize it, but its enough to just check the hits per second to choose the best agility since: attack speed has big spyke shifts! (for example, if you have 300 speed , invented number, instead of 305, you dont change animation and loose ton of dmg! ) Attack speed is not linear!! it has speed "bumps" aka after X attack speed you change animation! Speed points from items (exc weapon option, pendant, seeds, ESPECIALLY ww ring!!, pumpkins! have more value then it shows! For example, when i bought a pend edr speed i managed to remove around 400 points from agility and had same hits per second as before!! For DL's Horse skill animation cancel: Since Horse skill has 9% stun with ML, i would like to give this small cherry for DL's also. To avoid getting stuck into the horse animation to push someone away, there is an animation cancel for it. I works consistently, from around 13k agi and more (less with the right fingers :D) 1) You must be attacking with fire scream 2) Horse skill 3) any other skill (if you successfully push someone, best option is to go for stun with Fire Burst. if you stun just kill :D) This way you can keep attacking while pushing or even stunning someone with DL I hope this tips are usefull to ya all. BK's remember, practice makes best, dont rely on dumb ass macro Big Hug, Monkey

Hey everyone, I’ve been meaning to write something like this for a while now—kind of a “goodbye,” though I always lowkey held on to the hope of an unban one day. But yeah, it’s been over a year now, so here am i :3 I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I genuinely enjoyed my time on OldSquad. From the very first steps on your 100x server (if memory serves me right), the good old days of throwing fists in Barracks 😄, all the way through Wormhole, Inception, and finally Genesis—it’s been a journey I won’t forget. The amount of diffrent emotions that this game brought into my life was something truly special. From the anxiety of being PKed during late-night, to the sheer joy of reaching our group goals together—every moment was worth it. I’ll never forget the 8k+ jewels we burned during the stream for the Mixie Mixie event on W3 with MS13... now that was one hell of a ride! Absolute chaos, but pure magic at the same time. I want to say a massive thank you to all of you who made this experience what it was. To the players, the rivals, the random party invites that turned into friendships. To the duelists who kept me online well past bedtime. A very special thank you to Gion, for always showing kindness over the years, and for being a solid rock in this community. And a sincere shout-out to Admin, for all the continuous work, updates, and custom features that kept the game fresh and exciting every season. I also want to take a moment to own up to something. I truly regret trying to sell anything for real money—it was a poor decision. Looking back, it wasn’t worth it, and I fully understand the choice made by Admin and regret it. Rules are there for a reason, and i'm sorry for breaking them. I’ve learned from that mistake, and I just wanted to put that out there sincerely. Even though I’m no longer part of the current action, the memories are still alive and well. I truly appreciate every little moment, every team effort, and every duel that kept the spark alive for me. No matter where life takes us, this corner of the internet, this game, and you people will always have a place in my heart. Stay safe, keep fighting, and who knows—maybe our paths will cross again in-game, someday. With love and fists Monkey

Hellooo, long time no see :)) "1. Hitrel can have literally any meaning, only because you swap characters around and make out Hitler, doesn't mean it actually means it. It's like me going into Rankings, looking at nicknames and trying to figure out how to make it sound bad. " Well true, but not if you write on post "Heil Hitrel" . "2. If you didn't know there are a lot of meanings for so called "nazi" symbol aka Svastika -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika 2.1. The colors are wrong. 2.2. The symbol is wrong, that even ain't "Haken Kreuz". 2.3. Just because it's similar to ^, doesn't mean it's suddenly anti-semitic. (btw good job using same victim card for 80+ years, when there are literally many more nations with worse losses and nobody is crying every time)." Also true, but if you print that symbol on your shirt and start screaming "heil holocoust" it kinda is straight forward Have some healthy fun playing this game, not stupid racism and over the edge stuff like this. Pretty sure its not enjoyed neither by the staff or other players.

Why you keep writing random things dude 😂

any updates?

Dawi stop spitting non sense please. On normal server elf buff is "not working" since it has diffrent formula which no matter the energy will give just 1 extra dmg. Same logic as the energy rf which has diffrent formula on crywolf. And as shown previously ERF is still working (you warp to normal server and the buff with the crywolf formula still stay). You have: 1) name elf they were using all this time (date and time the screenshot was taken) 2) Screenshot of how the bug used to work 3) Literally Dawi constatly admitting he was exploiting the bug saying that it was showing as a Bless Potion in the buffs bar which now its not even staying after warp. 4) Latest 3 days of gaion runs for comparison @Gion / @ADMIN give please a final verdict.

My friend, "so he can lie at will" could you quote any of my lies? Literally take any message on this thread and show me. The one saying that he used something for over 1 month, saying he doesnt know if it really helped 😁 "Unlike your guild, I didn't scam anybody," Maybe not directly but indirectly. By assuring you get ob5 every week by exploiting a bug ^-^ . "If I was hell-bent on cheating I wouldn't have admitted to anything because all Monkey had was a picture of an elf in Crywolf with nothing else attached to it- I didn't have anything to hide so I said what I said. " Maybe that's the only screenshot i provided, but as you well know everything is trackable and proofable from server side management. So if you shit your self and split the truth hoping you will get a special treatment by the "globally applied rules" you just mentioned - Suit yourself and start praying. PS: i provided also the eRF exploit which applies same logic as Energy Elf, which you also admitted of using. Last time i checked it was still working

if someone admitting of abusing an exploit, which is now unproofable from users side i dont think this should go any further. Just got a good point proofen, ty gion. Lanaya: --------------------------- As anticipated Lanaya, status was shown and buff was there for at least "1 month" - Also it was increasing dmg but kek how can it be prooved now that has not been working after i oppenned this topic. BUT, here is something else: https://imgur.com/a/ngqX5Jb Energy RF applies same logic as (it was before ....) for Energy ELF. 1) You buff Cry Wolf 2) You move to other map, and the buff you keep is the one from CryWolf formula As you can see from the images, it is not just showing in the status bar, but also the vitality is increased by 9k points instead of 3k. Which was the same logic for months for energy elf, just increased raw damage (the one under str / ene) instead of vitality. Would you mind sharing with us simply account logs of elf Scheau, what server the elf was at the time that Lanaya's team cleared Gaion? "We have used RF and Elf withing the last month" cit. Lanaya

i dont recall asking for his financial help any, if you find any send me screenshot plz ^^ The nice guy you talking about, made an "ultimatum" for getting pk twice swamp kek

if i get banned for wondering of selling my char (which i clearly did not since was just wondering 2 month ago) I'm curious how there can be middle ways for a bug exploit of more than 2 months

it is how the server is configured lol, btw no need to make new account to write on forum 😃 USA - joined yesterday - who it might be 🤔

Ehm, same logic as Erf gives 3k vitality but not 9k as in crywolf server goes to Energy elf, which gives 1 dmg instead of 3000. I like the "if i'm guilty" part after admitting twice of abusing it

Lanaya: --------------------------- As anticipated Lanaya, status was shown and buff was there for at least "1 month" - Also it was increasing dmg but kek how can it be prooved now that has not been working after i oppenned this topic. BUT, here is something else: https://imgur.com/a/ngqX5Jb Energy RF applies same logic as (it was before ....) for Energy ELF. 1) You buff Cry Wolf 2) You move to other map, and the buff you keep is the one from CryWolf formula As you can see from the images, it is not just showing in the status bar, but also the vitality is increased by 9k points instead of 3k.

Would you mind sharing with us simply account logs of elf Scheau, what server the elf was at the time that Lanaya's team cleared Gaion? "We have used RF and Elf withing the last month" cit. Lanaya "We are all the same" - cit. i dont remember who 🤔

Something changed on your gaion strategy?

More like enough time to patch it, and say nothing was in first place Even thought he clearly admitted of abusing it 🤔

Well better check what exploit means "A game exploit is a method or technique that players use to gain an unfair advantage in a video game by taking advantage of flaws or glitches in the game's code or design. These exploits can range from simple tricks to more complex hacks and can significantly impact the gameplay experience for others."

Are you referring to the top 1 bk you were begging build to? "it is possible no changes take place" - biggest non sense ever and you playing it dumb. Its simple and rules are clear. Hack/exploit use leads to ban. Unless reported within 24h of finding out. With 1 month there should be no room for middle solutions. (And from knowing Gion for years, no favours - all we are the same) Take the hit and stop playing it dumb 😄

Im just following the rules, amd helping the server with cheaters. "Find out what hacks/exploit is" "A game exploit is a method or technique that players use to gain an unfair advantage in a video game by taking advantage of flaws or glitches in the game's code or design. These exploits can range from simple tricks to more complex hacks and can significantly impact the gameplay experience for others." "It has been clear to anyone that the description does not corispond to reality" - check dawi's first reply, he admits it and thinks its "fair".

4)Any attempt of using hacks/exploits will be punished with block account(s) and IP+HWID ban. Exception: If you report the exploit/hack in the first 12 hours after you found it/used it, you won't be punished, but your advantage will be deleted. If you don't report it and we'll find it later on, you'll lose your entire work for nothing. Written in the rules my friend.

I dont recall me using Energy Elf for anytihing, so please dont defend yourself by pointing fingers to others. 2 months + of using a cheat to fool the whole server. Good job You can go with Monkey crywolf and do some screen shots, since you've stolen him 😄

Hello, as promised Gion i'm here with a gift i found out from our dear Lanaya. As we all know, Energy Elf works only Castle Siege Server, aka Cry Wolf right? RIGHT?? well... WRONG. If you simply take buff, and move to any other map (exept lorencia ring ofc, which reset all buffs) magic will happen. You will have Energy Elf buff for whole 2minute. Just enough time to make your best ever record on Gaion Ranked. How did i found out? well... i wondered what is a full energy elf doing in Valley of Loren same time as Lanaya was doing Imperial. Oh and this was 2 months ago i think, but sadly i am a too good guy to report after he pleased me not to becouse he needed an "edge" aka cheat to beat hardcore gaion ranked. This was taken 30th of May https://imgur.com/a/R18D2Su , server time in image. You have: 1) Elf name 2) Date and server time in which she was buffing 3) Some hint to who might been doing Gaion at that exact time. Now my biggest curiosity, will you investigate how long has he been cheating or just patch exploit and no consquences?

what this hack do, i dont understand lol

i clap em macro bk's, stop crying :3

@Gion any feedback on this?
