Assassin or archer on the new servers?
Assassin and archer aren't separate jobs; both are Rogue, and the difference is which tree gets the points. So you can change your mind later with Switching or a reskill. Below we put both side by side at the 70 cap.
Archer for solo farming, assassin for team PK. At the 70 cap assassins lose Blinding and Critical Point, archers lose Power Shot. Archers still get a 3-second stun with Lighting Shot; Switching opens both jobs' spots.
Level 70 Rogue skill build
At level 70 you have 122 skill points. A tree takes at most 70 and the master tab at most 10, and master points come out of the same pool. Every build below adds up to 122; the difference is which skill you trade for which.
| Build | Points | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Archer | Archery 70 + Search 42 + Master 10 | Dark Pursuer, Lighting Shot, Ice Shot; Lupine Eyes and Cure Curse; Matchless |
| Assassin | Assassin 70 + Search 42 + Master 10 | Bloody Beast, Spike, Throwing Knife, Stealth; Lupine Eyes; Matchless |
| Tough assassin | Assassin 60 + Search 60 + Master 2 | Spike and Stealth + Scaled Skin (defense +800) and Magic Shield; no Bloody Beast |
Wild Advent (teleport next to an enemy) needs 70 points in Search; take it and your main tree stays at 42. For most rogues it isn't worth it. Point details: Knight Online Rogue build: Archer and Assassin skills, stat build and weapons.

Where to level and farm as a Rogue
- Assassins are wanted in EXP parties, but a party has room for 1-2; archers get fewer spots on genie parties because they can pull extra mobs onto the party. Route: Where to level 1–70 on the new servers.
- Archers mostly farm by hand; Savage (37), Uruk Hai and Uruk Tron (55–56) are known archer spots. Count in the arrow and mana cost.
- Assassins are weak farmers; at 70 they're limited to spots like Stone Golem and Troll in CZ and Eslant.
Rogue PK tactics
- Archer: a 3-second stun with Lighting Shot, then Dark Pursuer; slow a runner with Ice Shot.
- Assassin: close in with Stealth, open with Spike, finish with Bloody Beast. With no Critical Point, hit with your team, not with one combo.
- Keep Lupine Eyes up in the party; the whole party sees stealthed enemy assassins.
