Guillotine Cross is one of the best MVP hunters and instance clearers in the game. The sheer amount of damage that the class can deal is insurmountable, even MVPs with green aura crumble!
The auto-attack build assassin has been popular since the early days of Ragnarok but you have to choose between Critical or Double Attack. Fast forward to renewal, the GX auto-attack build regained its glory due to an update that allows Double Attack(DA) to co-exist with critical hits. Gone are the days where you have to create a job 42 High Thief just to skip Double Attack entirely to create a successful Double Dagger(DD) Crit GX.
Table of Contents
Reminder: Before you even consider the transition to DD Crit GX, make sure to get enough levels, at least lvl 165. The amount of consumables you have to use to maintain the build is ridiculous so please make sure that your stats will not limit your characters potential. If you are still lacking in levels, just play as an RC GX for a while. If you cannot sustain 193 ASPD and 100+ CRIT, then think twice if you still want to pursue this build.

Sedora for weapon is not a bad card , and its cheap than the paper
Does the consumable stack? I mean, can you “eat” all those consumables in 1 go?
Yes.
does this guide still relevant for year 2024? I saw so many new equipment now coming out from eggs that supersede some of the equipment suggested here. can someone explain? i would love to follow this guide, but i think can somehow be better.. also, why the community is like dead now? vendors in prontera getting lesser everyday.. is this server dead?
Hello! The guide is still somewhat applicable to early and mid-game. The author took a hiatus due to IRL stuff, but he’s back now, so we might be able to see some update in the future.
