Hello, In this guide, I would like to share to you a build that is NOT the best, NOT the ideal, NOT what anyone would suggest, NOT what I would recommend personally. But it works. Well… this is a FOR FUN Build! Some players are just not into playing Snipers and Gunslingers. Some are more lenient to using their SWORDS, in this case their THALONGS to grind. So if you’re one of those people then this guide might be for you! DISCLAIMER: Please note that I’m not a Lord Knight main and I’m only using items cheap items available to me. If you have an input on how to make the build stronger, I’d be more than welcome to include it in this guide. The goal of this guide is not only to kill the Boss but also to use cheap items as much as possible to accommodate new players. ***UPDATE AS OF 10/10/23 PATCH*** All ASS Boss Monster Defense have been set to 90. All ASS Vitality Stat have been set to 210. Because of this recent update, other classes like Lord Knights are now viable to be used in A.S.S.!! Instance Monsters Information: Tier SS - Thalongtos Origin Thalongtos Origin can be summoned by offering a Scarlet Amrita in the altar. .The notable attributes Thalongtos Origin have are the following: HP: 2,040,000,000 Def: 90 Race: Demon Property: Ghost 1 (Becomes Holy when berserk around 40% HP or lower) Size: Large Flee: 655 Thalongtos Origin spawns his minions every once in a while. But they’re not much of a threat to us. When his HP around 40%, he changes his elemental property from Ghost 1 to Holy 1 to 4. This means we can deal more damage since we can counter his elemental property by using Cursed Water (Shadow). Tier S - Bathode Origin Bathode can be summoned by offering Cerulean Amrita in the altar. Here are the notable details for Bathode Origin: HP: 2,040,000,000 Def: 90 Race: Demon Property: Earth 1 Size: Large Flee: 655 Unlike Thalongtos Origin, the Bathode Origin doesn’t change elements when his HP is lower than 40%. So the damage you deal from start to end will be the same. The Build: Tier SS - Thalongtos Origin So you might be wondering… Why the hell are we using Lord Knight to kill Thalongtos Origin? Why not use Sniper, Gunslinger, or maybe an Assassin Cross?! The answer to that is simple. Have you seen the description of the weapon The Thalong? It literally says, it is The A.S.S. Buster! So that’s why we’re going to BUST that A.S.S. and claim our reward! Equipment: Top: +12 - +13 Soldier Hat (item ID: 4518) [Seyren Windsor Card] - This card gives +6 STR when the headgear is upgraded to +12. A good alternative if you don’t have [Violent Coelacanth Card] yet. Middle: +12 - +13 Fancy Phantom Mask / Dragon Cyclops [Seyren Windsor Card] - Same as above. Lower: Angeling Wings / Dragon Sword Back Armor: +12 - +13 Dragon Armor [ATK 3%, 4%, 5%] [Gloom Under Night Card] - Gives damage boost against Demon race and Holy property monsters. - Optional Switching Gear: Dragon Armor [ATK +3%, +4%, +5%] [Detale Card] - You may use this to cast Land Protector on the ground that will keep you from being rooted and hit by AOE Magic attacks. Shield: +12 - +13 Strong Shield [STR +1, +2, +3] [Khalitzburg Knight Card] - Strong shield prevents knock-back while KKC provides resistance against Large monsters and additional damage boost when used with White Knight Card. Garment: +12 - +13 Dragon Manteau [ATK +3%, +4%, +5%] [Wakwak Card] - Every 10 points of STR gives 5 ATK. Shoes: +12 - +13 Dragon Shoes [ATK +5% to Boss, +10% to Ghost, +10% to Boss] [Firelock Soldier Card] - Gives +2 STR and 10% HP/Sp. Good alternative if you don’t have [Ipodus Card] or [Vicious Cookie Card] yet. Accessory: x2 Dragon Rings [Assassin Cross Card] [Sniper Card] - Enchant Poison provides a significant damage boost while Thalongtos is still in Ghost Property. Sniper Card’s True Sight also provides smaller damage boost and also 20% chance to gain 30% of the damage dealt as HP. Weapon: +12 - +13 The Thalong (A.S.S. Buster) [2x White Knight Card] [1x Strouf Card] [1x Memory of Thanatos Card] - I tried quite a lot of card combinations but these so far provides the best damage against Thalongtos. Also, you might want to bring any weapon with [Mastersmith Card] to buff yourself with Maximum Over Thrust. Costumes: For Top, Middle, and Lower costumes, have [ATK +3%, +3%, +7%] and STR +4 T4 enchants. Also have a Strength T1 stone, Strength or ATK T2 stone on all costumes including Garment Costume. NOTE: You may also use Strength T3 or Sun Mythical Stone T3 for extra damage boost if you have the budget. You might also want to have a +12 Shadow Weapon with Unique Power Gem Red for extra damage boost. Stats: STR: 255 - You would want to get as much as damage as you can get so it’s okay to go max STR. AGI: 119 - 2 things. ASPD and to get the status immunity bonus from The Thalong. VIT: 100 - HP is always nice. But, mainly to get the status immunity bonus from The Thalong. INT: 1 - Not really needed. DEX: 192 - Bowling Bash needs a lot of HIT so that the damage won’t be reduced when you’re against an opponent with high FLEE. So getting lots of DEX can give you lots of HIT plus the bonuses you from The Thalong and other skill and usable buffs. LUK: 1 - I think it’s not really needed to get the ignore defense bonus from The Thalong in this situation because the ignore defense bonus only works on Demi-Humans. Tier S - Bathode Origin You may use the same build as indicated above. Here are just some few changes to match Bathode Origin’s stats. Shoes: +12 - +13 Dragon Shoes [ATK +5% to Boss, +10% to Earth, +10% to Boss] [Firelock Soldier Card] - Gives +2 STR and 10% HP/Sp. Good alternative if you don’t have [Ipodus Card] or [Vicious Cookie Card] yet. The only that was changed here is from 10% to Ghost, we changed it to 10% to Earth property because Bathode is an Earth property monster. Accessory: x2 Dragon Rings [Ifrit Card] [Sniper Card] - We exchanged Assassin Cross Card to Mantis Card because we won’t be using the Enchant Poison skill from Assassin Cross Card but instead we will use either Warm Wind Level 4 or Elemental Converter [Fire]. Sniper Card’s True Sight also provides smaller damage boost and also 20% chance to gain 30% of the damage dealt as HP. Usables: Make sure to bring this with you. It’s also better if you know how to use 4rtools’s Autobuff features so that you won’t forget to use these at the right times. Also make sure to turn ON your VIP Buffs. Box of Resentment - for additional ATK Box of Gloom - Casts level 1 Improve Concentration on yourself. Aloevera - Casts Provoke on yourself. Frost Giant’s Blood - Increases your Physical damage on enemies by 7% Cursed Water - Use this item when Thalongtos Origin uses berserk and become Holy Property. This will boost your damage by a lot. Aruna Elixir - Your main HP and SP potion. Token of Siegfried - In case you die. Then stand back up. Panacea - if you get silenced/cursed/confused. Use panacea. Increase Agi Scroll - To cancel out the Decrease AGI debuff. Strategy: Tier SS - Thalongtos Origin Make sure to buff yourself first with Maximum Over Thrust. Then use all the other buffs except for Enchant Poison. Use Enchant Poison last. Then start spamming Bowling Bash to Thalongtos Origin. If you would like to cast Land Protector first before going all out on Thalongtos Origin. Charge him first wearing [Detale Card], then wait for Land Protector to proc. Once Land Protector procs, switch back to [Gloom Under Night Card] to deal higher damage. Once Thalongtos Origin’s HP is lower than 800m, he might berserk already and become Holy Property. Once this happens make sure to use Cursed Water to deal higher damage. NOTE: You cannot use Enchant Poison and Cursed Water at the same time. You only used Enchant Poison when Thalongtos Origin is currently Ghost Property Tier S - Bathode Origin Make sure to buff yourself first with Maximum Over Thrust. Then use all the other buffs except for Warm Wind level 4 or Elemental Converter [Fire]. Warm Wind level 4 or Elemental Converter [Fire] last. Then start spamming Bowling Bash to Bathode Origin. Until it dies. Here is a video of me using the build against Thalongtos and Bathode: BUILD UPDATE: DONT PUT LUK STAT put it on DEX instead. Recent patch on Thalong Sword gives it Ignore Defense when having LUK stat which is not compatible with Thana Build. Just put all your excess stat on DEX Rewards: For the list of the rewards for A.S.S., you may refer to this link: https://arunafeltz.net/wiki/index.php/Ancient_Summoning_System#Rewards Conclusion: As mentioned before this is a for fun build. I would still recommend using Snipers when doing Tier SS A.S.S.. Although there is a difference in speed of completion, our aim is to open opportunities for other classes to complete instances like these and for players who would like to stick their classes and experience Arunafeltz MMORPG the way they would like to do so. What do we know? Maybe this A.S.S. monsters also get a rebalancing to accommodate other classes. (*please dev*) Because of the recent 10/10/23 update where the DEF of the bosses are increased from 35 to 90. Lord Knight is now a viable class to be used in A.S.S. Not only that, this can also be a good start to try out other classes too to be used in A.S.S. This opens a new opportunity to make Arunafeltz RO and Ancient Summoning System a good way to earn and catch up to other people. If you have an idea how to improve the build above please do share to the community as it will help not only the current players but also those that will join us in the future. And if you would like to have another class to be used in which instance please let me know and I will try my best to learn that specific class and instance. That would be all for this guide and aaaaaa Peace! Changelogs: 10/10/23 - Added Tier S: Bathode Origin guide. 10/11/23 - Updated the guide to match the 10/10/23 update. Memory of Thanatos Card - to be used in weapon to deal more damage. Ifrit Card - to be used against Tier S: Bathode Origin. Gives bonus ATK, and HIT compared to Mantis Card that provides +3 STR. Increase Agi Scroll - to cancel out Decrease AGI debuff from bosses. Removed old video guides. Added new video showing LK vs Thalongtos and Bathode.
