Overview

Mastersmith is the pinnacle of the Blacksmith's career. The Mastersmith is able to create valuable items from any material they can get hold of. Plus, they have achieved the zenith of craftsmanship and can now upgrade weapons more efficiently. The Mastersmith also specializes in manipulating fire and using various weapons in battle.

The Mastersmith skill base grows upon the Blacksmith's Axe/Mace skills and received a lot of nice new skills. Although the class almost seems to be ignored by Gravity, or almost lowered in power compared to the other Reborn classes, Smiths still pose a dangerous threat to almost every class. They have the power to break Weapons and Armor while they're attacking their enemy with Shattering Strike (Meltdown) and then unleash a flurry of High Speed Cart Rams (Cart Termination). This class takes a lot of customization in order to make work properly and takes a lot of time and effort to play one well.

Being a class with high damage per second rating, Mastersmiths gained boosts in their skills that exploit their ASPD. One is the Shattering Strike skill that perpetuates use for their skill Weapon Repair due to the chance of it breaking a target's weapon or armor. Another noteworthy skill, HSCR(although over shadowed by their co-class' Acid Bomb as their new skill) is known to make characters with low VIT run for their lives. HSCR is another skill that benefits from ASPD.

Another note is that the Mastersmiths with their new skills drains more zeny than their non-rebirth counterpart.

Builds

Hybrid Battle

• STR: 110-130
• AGI: 50-80
• VIT: 50-80
• INT: 1-20
• DEX: 50-70
• LUK: 1

Weapons: Maces, Axes

The common theme in the builds of Mastersmiths, mainly because you can get good amount of ASPD for HSCR and Shattering Strike. Although the main forte is the HSCR skill (Debated: The optimum ASPD for HSCR) for its 'just right' ASPD. Ice Pick and Combat Knife can be equipped for HSCR also, much better if you have the Linker skill of Advanced Adrenaline Rush for greater ASPD since the ordinary Adrenaline Rush doesn't cover dagger type weapons.

Their preferred skills are mainly HSCR and alternates Mammonite, Cart Revolution and normal attack with Shattering Strike.

STR/AGI Battle

• STR: 100-120
• AGI: 70-80+
• VIT: 40-60
• INT: 1-20
• DEX: 50-70
• LUK: 1

Weapons: Maces, Axes

Mainly for Shattering Strike, being AGI as their priority stat. (Not necessarily to max it out.) Stats are spared for AGI, a question of durability. Can also have the same skill build of the Hybrid counterpart.
