There are a few primary builds of Crusaders:
 
 Grand Cross×
Stat Build
 
 
Skill Build: (Job 42 Swordsman)
 
 
(Crusader)
 
 
Grand Cross, which is often abbreviated GC, is a skill that relies on both the Crusader's ATK and MATK to deal damamge to the enemy. Just as Grand Cross relies both on ATK and MATK to deal damage, the damage from the ATK portion is reduced by the enemy's DEF, while the MATK portion is reduced by the enemy's MDEF.
 
 Shield×
Stat Build
 
 
Skill Build: (Job 43 - 50 Swordsman)
 
 
(Crusader)
 
 
This will cause you to end up with 5 skill points remaining. Thoe skill points can be allocated into a higher level of guard if you find yourself needing to tank things or you like the skill, or you can max out Smite in order to stun people in WoE, and place the remaining points in either Guard or Cure.
 
For a crusader that will level using a Soul-Link and Shield Boomerang, it may be possible to forgo getting dexterity in favor of more agility or vitality, as Shield Boomerang never misses when under the influence of a Soul-Link.
 
Magnum Break is used as an AoE skill in WoE and PvP in conjunction with a weapon such as Sword Breaker or Mail Breaker to spread status or to knock people out of Cloak×. It is not generally used for damage purposes.
 
In order to gain the best DPS with a Soul-Link, 182 attack speed is the ideal. This has to do with the animation delay of the skill. Nothing more than 182 attack speed will help when using Linked Shield Boomerang.
 Sacrifice×/VIT/WoE×
Stat Build
 
 
Skill Build (Job 46 - 50 Swordsman)
 
 
(Crusader) 
 
 
This build is generally reliant on parties for leveling, as they typically have low strength and intelligence. This is not a soloing character, however it is probably the most useful of all of the crusader builds for WoE. It utilizes high vitality and high dexterity to quickly cast Sacrifice on any characters that would make good use of more HP or an uninterruptable cast time.
 Agility Spear Crusader×
Stat Build
 
 
Skill Build (Job 42 Swordsman)
 
 
(Crusader with unused skill points)
 
 
Some builds will occasionally forsake the PecoPeco Riding and Holy Cross skills in order to get a high level of Heal.
 
This build emphasizes doing powerful normal attacks at a rapid rate. Leveling spots include places such as Byalan Island and Ice Dungeon, as well as any map that standard melee characters level at. The class plays similar to the more familiar Agility Knight.
