All you need to know about Castle Siege

🏰 Castle Siege: The Ultimate Tactical Handbook
Castle Siege is the pinnacle of InfinityMU PvP. Success requires more than just high-tier gear—it requires understanding positioning, skill-syncing, and class-specific roles. This guide covers the "Pro" tricks for both Attackers and Defenders.

The Art of Switching (BK & DL)

🛡️ How to Hold the Switch
Holding a switch is about Positioning and Skill Range, not just standing still.

• The Corner Strategy: Always aim for the corner. If you are pushed out, do not walk back—use your skill on the nearest player to "push" your way back into the corner.
• Weapon Choice: Use weapons with Range 3 (Morning Star, Tomahawk, or Swords with Falling Slash) to reach enemies trying to push you.
• Movement Lock: Hold [CTRL] + [SHIFT] while using your skill. Pressing Shift prevents your character from walking accidentally, keeping your position locked.
• Class Preference:
  • Dark Lord (DL): Easier to switch as they are less affected by horse-pushing skills.
  • Blade Master (BK): Harder to move and has higher Vitality/Reflect, making them the ultimate tank.

The Meta Gear: Accessories & Pink Options

Category	Optimal CS Configuration
Primary Set	Damage Decrease Rate (DDR) for all classes.
Secondary Options	SD Rate Increase for Shield/Sets to maximize absorption.
Pink Options	Target sets with +15,000 HP (Draco Tier 1/2, Ahriman, Paladin) or +10,000 HP (Sunlight, Dark Knight, Venom Mist).
Weapon JoH	SD Ignore for Attackers / SD Decrease for Defenders.

👑 The Ultimate Sealer (Guild Master) Build Success at the crown requires specialized itemization to withstand massive focus fire and crowd control.

• Armor Choice: Equip Full SD on your Set and Shield. A Tier 3 (T3) Set paired with a strong shield is highly preferred for maximum survivability.
• Weapon Configurations:
  • 1H & Shield (Recommended): Use a weapon with Range 3 (like the Morning Star) featuring the SD Ignore option to maintain reach and damage.
  • Dual Wielding: If running two swords, use SD Ignore on the main hand and an Arthur sword on the off-hand. Alternatively, dual SD Ignore swords work exceptionally well depending on your personal playstyle.
• Accessories & Ubers:
  • Pendant: Lightning Pendant (Prevents Soul Masters from pushing you).
  • Rings: Ice Ring (Prevents Elf freezing) paired with a Wind or Earth Ring (Reduces Wind damage or DL Stomp).
  • Uber Synergies: The exact mix is up to the sealer's preference. Highly effective setups include combining Uber Warrior Rings/Pendant with the Warrior Morning Star, or utilizing the Eplete Shield alongside an Eplete Pendant.

💍 Elemental Accessory Selection (General)

• The Wind Meta: Most BK and Elf skills are Wind Attribute. Using Full Wind Pendants/Rings makes you significantly tankier against standard attackers.

Class-Specific Roles

⚔️ Blade Master (BK)

• Killer Type: Focus on Full Uber SD sets. Your job is to "explode" the switcher or the Guild Master sealing.
• Switcher Type: Never click the corner when attacking a switcher; it helps them stay in place. Hold the switch and spam pots.
• Guild Master: Rely on your Lightning Pendant + Earth Rings setup. Do not walk to the crown—use skills on players to "teleport" into the middle of the seal area.

🐎 Dark Lord (DL)

• Attacking: Stay as far away as possible. Use your horse skill, walk away, hit, and repeat.
• The Switch Clear: Use horse skill in the middle of the switch to push the enemy out of the corner, allowing your ally to take the spot.
• Defending: Keep "Stomping" the enemy Guild Master to cancel their seal progress.

🧙 Soul Master (SM)

• Disruption: Use Ice Storm first to slow them, then spam Lightning to push them out of position.
• Switching: Use Teleport strategically. If you attempt to teleport onto another player, the spell fails—wait for a clear space.

🏹 High Elf (ELF)

• Mounting: Use a Dinorant to avoid reflect damage.
• Freezing: Keep using Ice skills to freeze switchers and Guild Masters. The high attack speed causes constant reflect damage to enemies.

The Secret Weapon: The "Stern" Skill

⚡ Pro Mechanic: Stern
Stern is a powerful freeze magic available to all Battle Masters of a guild.

• How to Unlock: Achieve 4 kills (enemies, guildmates, or AFK players) without dying.
• Effect: Freezes all nearby players for several seconds.
• Best Use: Use it immediately after a DL has pushed a switcher out of a corner. It is the most effective way to stop a professional player who cannot be killed by raw damage.
• Warning: If you die, you lose the Stern and must get 4 kills again.

Technical Optimization & Anti-Lag

Low latency and high FPS are mandatory for competitive "potting" (healing) and skill usage.

• Connectivity: Use a Proxy or Ping Booster (ExitLag/WTFast) for better stability.
