Alan's story

Elbeland once had an order of Holy Knights who served Lugard, the God of Light, and trained in the arts of light. Alan had only just become their commander when Kundun's war spread over the continent and the order was sent to the front. Light magic worked well against the servants of the God of Darkness, but the enemy kept coming, and the knights were slowly pushed back until they stood at the edge of a cliff.
Beaten and surrounded by fallen comrades, Alan prayed to Lugard. Lugard's sigil rose into the sky and its light gave the knights back their strength. They struck back, turned the battle, and the MU Empire won. Alan returned to Elbeland and keeps training, ready for the next threat.
Playing the Crusader
Webzen describes the Crusader as a hybrid: he deals damage with the power of light and supports his party with Lugard's blessing, mixing survivability with utility for solo and group play. Any account can create him and he starts in Elbeland. He has five class names: Crusader, Impact Crusader, Master Paladin, Sacred Paladin and Temple Guard Commander. His set party is with the Illusion Knight and the Rage Fighter.
| HP | MP | Strength | Agility | Vitality | Energy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 150 | 40 | 26 | 18 | 19 | 20 |
Skills
He shares some Dark Knight skills (Twisting Slash, Rageful Blow, Strike of Destruction, Blood Storm and Rush) and has four of his own, learned from skill orbs:
| Icon | Skill | Needs | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Divine Fall | Str 60, Agi 29 | A hammer of Lugard's light drops from the sky onto enemies. |
![]() | Holy Sweep | Str 420, Agi 168 | He moves while swinging a hammer made huge by Lugard's power. |
![]() | Sacred Impact | Str 1045, Agi 418 | Throws a hammer of light that hits up to 8 times (the same enemy can be hit again); it looks like his equipped hammer. |
![]() | Lugard's Blessing: Retaliation | Level 220, Energy 200 | Summons Lugard's sigil; he and party members near it get more skill power. |
Hammers and shields
In Elbeland, Leah (29, 236) sells low-level armor and Marce (36, 219) sells low-level weapons and skill orbs. The hammer goes in the right hand and the shield in the left. The hammer line is long (shortened list):
| Hammer | Attack | Combat power | Strength / Agility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Topaz Hammer | 105-135 | - | 65 / 33 |
| Blast Hammer | 195-210 | 42% | 410 / 176 |
| Darkangel Hammer | 342-353 | 66% | 697 / 286 |
| Blue Eye Hammer | 541-551 | 97% | 813 / 332 |
| Lightning Hammer | 869-884 | 149% | 826 / 344 |
| Temple Guard Hammer | 935-950 | 200% | 826 / 344 |
Shields follow the same names, from the Ruby Shield (defense 13, defense rate 28) to the Temple Guard Paladin Shield (defense 144, defense rate 190).
Cloaks and armor
Like other knights he wears cloaks. Before his own, he can use the Pitch Black Cloak, Cloak of Death, Wings of Angel and Devil, Wings of Conqueror and Wings of Authority. His own cloaks:
| Cloak | Needs | Attack / defense | Damage up / absorb |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloak of Desire (Lv. 3) | Level 400, 3rd advancement | - / 45 | 39% / 39% |
| Cloak of Sanctuary (Lv. 4) | Level 800, 4th advancement | 100 / 140 | 55% / 43% |
| Cloak of Brilliance (Lv. 5) | Level 1200, 5th advancement | 300 / 900 | 55% / 43% |
His armor goes from the Leather, Brass and Iron Plate sets and the Solid set to the Trust socket armor (380 and 400 versions), then the mastery line: Bloodangel, Darkangel, Holyangel, Soul, Blue Eye, Silver Heart, Manticore, Brilliant, Apocalypse, Lightning and Temple Guard. The Excellent body armor rises from defense 119 (Bloodangel) to 565 (Temple Guard); the four-piece set versions add set options such as double damage and ignore defense.
