Trojan

Trojan is a strong melee class with the ability to sustain stamina very well. It has the most hp as a melee class in the game due to its vitality attribute bonus as well as its runes. It also has the strongest melee attack in the game due to its weapon archive.

## Trojan Skills

This is a comprehensive list of Trojan Skills and what they do.

### Trojan Epic & Reborn Skills

These are the epic & reborn skills for Trojan.

### Trojan Rune Skills

These are obtained by getting the Trojan runes. These can be bought in the champion point store, shopping mall, Melting, or at random events.

**Pro tip**: When using rampage rune have fire rat (or if for some reason you chose not to go water-war-tro) bloody bat / guard on your hotkey bar. This is because using any of them will instantly trigger rampage and sometimes you want to use it right away in the instance of going against a pure water a 2hander trying to use fine rain and take you out in one shot. This will prevent that.

### Trojan Archive Skills

Looking to learn about Trojan Archive Skills? Just click Trojan Weapon Archive and you will be directed to the page. It really did need its own as there's a lot of information and I didn't want to clutter this page.

## Recommended PVP Runes

This is a list of runes that are suggested. Some are core that should be utilized all times, the others are up to you to choose from. I don't mention PVE runes or runes used for hitting structures etc. You can figure those out on your own.

#### Core Runes

These are the runes recommended for all Trojans.

* No Mercy - Honestly unless you're one of the top Trojans with really good BP this is going to come in handy more than it won't so it's worth having. Even if you're super strong you may still not be able to hit that 22k damage on someone higher bp than you at all times so it's never a bad rune to have. It's especially useful in Skill pk.

* Sharpness - This is self explanatory, it increases your damage at all times.

* Tortoise Breaker - Melee a water or a tank using Tortoise Gems and watch their hp drop.
* Deadly Sight - Pretty great rune to have. It helps a lot when trying to hit those airborne targets with a throwing knife or bow. Make sure you have comprehension rune off when they are in the air or it bugs and does no damage.
* Wonder - Block is OP and can save you from crits/melees etc. Use it so you can stay alive longer.

### Situational Runes

As it says, these are situational depending on who you are fighting against.

* Tacit Strike - This is almost core if you're a break character or hybrid as a lot of people run Barrier so obviously use this.

* Overwhelm - Obviously core when, and only when you are fighting a pirate.
* Divine Shield - Going against a fire? Toss this on so you can beat them in points and use less pots.
* Judgement - Same as for going against a pirate only this time for a pure water.
* Breakdown - After the Trojan Weapon Archive expansion, trojan has become one of the best if not the best pole takers in the game. Use this if you are one of your dedicated pole takers during events.

### Non-Core Suggested Runes

These are subject to the player. I'll list some of my preferences but it's up to you, as long as you have those core runes above, the last few you choose are really up to you and your play style.

* Xp Killer - I like this more than the ones that reduce their points. The reason being is perfection xp skill pops a fair bit when going against higher perfection opponents. Reverse magic is also alright but it's gambling rather than having a guaranteed effect on their xp status.

* Blood Spawn Booster - This one is much better than Life Drain as it makes more sense you want to heal when taking damage rather than dealing it. The only time Life Drain *MIGHT* be better is during big events if you use aoe skills. Overall, BSB will never steer you wrong.
* Tidal Wave - This is really only suggested if you're using Rampage rune over Blood-tide. I myself prefer rampage and can't afford to level both at the moment so Tidal Wave is a good substitute. This way you get your XP skill fast, and still have your big hp gain and the best stamina regeneration in the game for 30 seconds. It's also good for alt gearing with a knife or bow for airborne targets.

## Recommended Attribute Points

These are of course assuming you have at least a magic bottle or gourd for stig/shield/zap etc.

#### With Epics

* Agility - 36

* Spirit - 0
* Strength - 0
* Vitality - All other available points.

## Recommended Builds

* Water-Warrior-Trojan (aka This is the only Trojan build) This gives you the skills Accuracy, Magic Shield, Reflect, and Stigma as your unique abilities. ★★★★★

Rated *five stars* as it's really the only viable Trojan build to consider.

Most other build paths can be found here.

## Chi & Jiang for all BP levels.

List of the different viable builds you can go. Normally I wouldn't recommend one over the other too much, but for tro with their Weapon Archive Skills I would recommend for everyone besides kings to go with Hybrid 2. This is due to being able to bypass BP with a melee and end anti users with ease.

### Break Build

This is the standard break Character build.

**Chi:** Break/Hp/Imm/Pattack

**Jiang:** Break/Hp/Imm

### King Crit Build

This is for Kings/129/119 chars with the highest BP.

**Chi:** Pstrike/HP/IMM/Pattack

**Jiang:** Pstrike/Hp/IMM

### Hybrid 1

This is for people that want higher sustained damage, while still breaking most people that matter. Just make sure after you're refined you have a decent amount of break still around 150-200 your choice.

Chi: Hp/Imm/Pattack/+Final or BT

Jiang Hp/Imm/Break or +Final

### Hybrid 2

This is personally my favorite, because it's like you're a king in most situations without having to play the BP war.

**Chi:**

**Stage 1 & 2:** Hp/Imm/Pattack/Pstrike -

**Stage 3:** Hp/Imm/Pstrike/Break

**Stage 4:** Pattack/Imm/Pstrike/Break

**Jiang:** Pstrike/HP/IMM/ Stage 1 BT

The other reasons I like this build is because you will break most kings around 70-100% of the time, and still have max crit on them and everyone else. Your final Break will be in the 130-140 range depending on your Relics etc with high turtle rank. Your hp will be 60-70k depending on all your rankings/perfection etc. and your attack will be 45k-50k with the same variables. It's honestly a great hybrid build and one to take into consideration.

## Pros and Cons

Pros

* Trojan is one of the cheapest classes in co to buy gear for with unbound cps.
* Trojan has a built in multiplier of 1.15 @ level 110 for every health point they have. The only classes with higher hp would be Taoist, Assassins, and possibly Shield Warriors. Please refer to the Attribute Points page for more information.
* Trojan has the best melee in the game with the Trojan Weapon Archive expansion.

Cons

* To kill reliably higher BP players you will need to have low ping for ss/fb and for melees.
* Really hard to kill flying targets as you have no counter until they land.

## Brief History

The Trojan class has been available to play since the beginning of
Conquer Online and was the original powerhouse of the game only
contended by Fire Taoist. Trojan was a class that kept this game
challenging due to the skill level it took to play the class with it's
strongest skill Fast Blade or Scent Sword. In recent times, however, it
 has fallen from grace and become the weakest class in the game next to
the shield warrior.

### Trojans Fall From Grace

The fall of Trojan began on December 19th, 2008. This would mark the
release date of Conquers' newest class the Ninja. The class had an
overall easier play style as instead of their strongest attack being a
skill shot you would just need to get close to someone and click them to
 do the same, if not higher damage. That with the ninja having an
overall completely better skill kit and Fast Blade & Scent Sword
being weapon skills, not class skills would create the new hybrid ninja
class that would use a Blade or Sword instead of Katanas to have access
to the fun skill shot while also having better overall stats, except for
 hit points, as at this time coronet had zero magic defense and you
could use the rest of the Ninjas' skills when needed.

### Trojans Short Redemption

Trojan had a short period of redemption in 2014 and was able to
become the top class again for a short time during the expansion "Wrath
of the Trojan" which introduced Trojan epics as well as new skills.
Unfortunately, this didn't last long as soon after the expansion the release of TQ's two
newest classes crushed them once again.

### The Sleeping Trojan

With the addition of the classes Bruce Lee, or what they
 later chose to call the "Dragon Warrior", Trojan had fallen off hard again and many players stopped playing it. The Dragon Warrior class had everything the
 Trojan had, and more. It had a superior Fast Blade / Scent Sword skill
with longer range, damage, and with a mini stun on top of it. The Dragon
 Warrior even had a superior Area of Effect skill that did much more damage and the class was just a completely better
and more versatile class in every way. Next came the "Windwalker". This can be considered another Trojan remake and both of the Trojan remakes were considerably superior to Trojan.

### From The Ashes

Once again Trojan has received an update with the 3.0 patch that increased the range of its fastblade/ss skills which helped it a lot. On top of that, the new rune system quite favors Trojan in terms of survivability they are close to no competition in this regards. Then with the Trojan Weapon Archive expansion Trojan has truly rose from the ashes. While most of the benefits came in the form of passive weapon skills, and a small aoe increase on fb and SS from 11x1 to 11x2, these melee skills in the hands of a good player are the deadliest in CO and even have the ability to bypass the long dreaded battle-power. While Trojan may not be on top of everyone in an overpowered aspect, it is now a balanced and formidable opponent against any who dare cross its path.
