Skill Tree Build for Stalker in Ragnarok Origin

Before we jump into the skill build of Stalker we should talk about how you should distribute stats to this subclass. Focus your stat points on DEX, STR, and AGI with a slight boost in VIT. We would advise trying to balance the three main stats out while keeping the VIT at 25% of whatever you have invested in them.

Don’t forget that, in order to get to the Stalker you need to play Thief class and choose Rogue at the first upgrade. That will put you on a path toward the clandestine Stalker when you reach level 70.

  • Double Attack (level 10) – By leveling the Double Attack to the maximum you get a 55% chance of hitting your enemy again (can’t be crit) and if you have a katar equipped the damage of your secondary weapon is increased by 20%. This effect will only trigger when you have a knife-type weapon equipped and chances for Double Attack to trigger are calculated separately for each hand. So if you’re wielding two knives instead of a knife and a crossbow you will have higher chances of activating this passive attack.
  • Shield Dodge (level 5) – When you activate this skill you get a 10% chance to avoid enemy attacks and an increase of 60 to Dodge for 5 seconds. Can be a great asset when you are surrounded by many enemies.
  • Trick Control (level 4) – A great AoE damage skill as it deals 180% + 200 Neutral Physical Damage to 10 monsters in your range. Use this to clear waves of weak enemies that are piling up around you.
  • Detoxify (no level) – You don’t have to spend a skill point for this skill as you will get it automatically. Detoxify is a classic debuff spell that removes poison effects from you and your teammates who are around you.
  • Increase Dodge (level 10) – A passive skill that will permanently increase your FLEE by 30 and give you a 5% move speed bonus.
  • Hiding (level 10) – Enter Hiding during which no enemies can spot you. You will suffer no moves peed penalty and this skill will cost you 10 SP + 1 SP for every 17 seconds you are in the Hiding.
  • Backslide (level 1) – A single point in Backslide allows you to quickly disengage and go backward while gaining a 15% move speed bonus for 10 seconds. Great for resetting in a fight that isn’t going in your favor.

  • Sneaky Attack / Raiding Shot (level 10) – This is a dual ability which means that it will be displayed differently depending on whether you use a melee or ranged weapon with it. When you use a dagger, you will hit the target for 450% + 350 Neutral Physical Damage with a 15% chance to get 100 Eden Coins. If you use this skill with a crossbow it will have the same effects, but they will only be applied through a projectile.
  • Crossbow Blade Mastery (level 10) – A passive skill that will give you +30 ATK when you use Crossbow Blade and Knife. This weapon combo can be the core of your build so it’s important to have it when you don’t want to carry two daggers/knives.
  • Remove Helmet (level 3) – You get a 5% chance to remove the target’s helmet. Your chances are increased if you have high DEX and LUK attributes.
  • Stealthy (level 5) – A passive skill that is activated after you use the Hiding skill. It gives you a 25% move speed bonus for 15 seconds.
  • Powerful Raid (level 5) – This passive skill gives your basic attacks a 10% chance to trigger Sneaky Attack or Raiding Shot (depending on which weapon you’re using).
  • Remove Cloak (level 3) – You get a 5% chance to remove the target’s cloak. Those chances are further increased by DEX and LUK.
  • Coerce (level 5) – When you use this skill you will freeze one target for 2 seconds and pull them in towards you. This is great for melee weapon combo situations where you can just pull one enemy from a crowd and kill him quickly. Just be careful not to reel in a powerful enemy.

  • Counter Instinct (level 5) – A dual skill that will work both with melee and ranged weapons. It gives you a 60% Physical Parry Chance for 5 seconds.
  • Remove Armor (level 3) – You get a 5% chance to remove the target’s armor for 15 seconds. Chance is increased when you have high DEX and LUK.
  • Shadow Seeker (level 5) – Enter a shadow state where you stay hidden even after you attack. This state lasts for 17 seconds.
  • Ambush Attack (level 5) – This passive skill deals 10% more skill damage when used with melee or 15% bonus more skill damage with a crossbow.
  • Remove Weapon (level 3) – Use this skill to get a 5% success rate to remove the enemy’s weapon. Your chances are increased the higher your DEX and LUK are.
  • Slyness (level 5) – Passive skill that gives dual bonuses, depending on which form you use it. When you use this skill in dagger form you get 15% increased Crit damage when there’s more than 1 enemy around you. If you use it in crossbow form it increases your Physical Damage by 10% +1% for each ally near you.
  • Copy (level 3) – When you use this skill you get to steal an ability from the enemy. On level 3 you can even steal MVP skills.
