"This is gonna hurt.. A LOT." That line tells you everything about the Giant Savage. Where the Berserker fights with reach and sustained pressure, the Savage goes all-in on dual-wield brutality — two weapons, gruesome offensive tactics, and one of the most unique skill mechanics in the game. The Savage is the burst-focused Giant advanced class, trading the Berserker's sustained staying power for explosive short-window damage.
Extraction is the Savage's signature ability and primary damage dealer. The skill removes enemy vital organs — mechanically a single devastating hit that defines the Savage's offensive identity. When you want to end a fight, Extraction is the skill you build toward.
Lunge applies a heavy slow to the enemy, dramatically reducing their movement speed during combat. This is the Savage's answer to the kiting problem that plagues all Giant classes — a slowed enemy cannot escape, and a Giant Savage that has closed the gap with a slowed target is a fight on its terms. Lunge enables everything else in the kit by ensuring enemies cannot simply run away from your dual-wield range.
Storming Cross is powerful on its own — a strong multi-hit attack that deals significant damage. What makes it exceptional is a mechanic unique to the Savage: if you have a Brain item in your inventory when Storming Cross fires, its damage spikes dramatically higher. The Brain is a drop item obtainable in the world — carrying one in your inventory is not complicated, but players who do not know about the mechanic are leaving a massive damage increase on the table. Before any serious fight, confirm you have at least one Brain in your inventory; the damage jump when it is present is not subtle, and never using Storming Cross without one is the single most important habit to build as a Savage player.
Quick Tips
- Always carry Brain items before entering combat — no Brain means you are playing Savage at a significant damage deficit on Storming Cross.
- Use Lunge as soon as an enemy tries to disengage — catching a slow on them early keeps the fight in your melee range.
- Extraction is your finisher; set up with Lunge to ensure the enemy cannot escape before you use it.
- Farm Brain drops proactively — treat them as a consumable resource to maintain, not a one-time pickup.
FAQ
Q: Is Giant Savage good in Rohan Online?
A: Yes — the Savage is one of the higher burst DPS classes in the game. The Storming Cross and Brain mechanic adds a skill ceiling that rewards prepared players with meaningfully higher damage than unprepared ones. In PvP, a Savage that hits a Storming Cross with a Brain can eliminate targets extremely quickly.
Q: Where do I get Brain items for Storming Cross?
A: Brains are drop items obtained from monsters in the world. The exact drop sources depend on your server's content, but they are farmable. Prioritize building a stock of them early and replenish after each combat session.
Q: How does Savage compare to Berserker in PvP?
A: Savage wins on burst — the Lunge-Extraction-Storming Cross (with Brain) sequence deals more damage in a short window than the Berserker's Jolt-Cleave combo. Berserker is harder to run away from over a long fight due to Retaliate, but in quick 1v1 exchanges where the Savage can land its full rotation, the Savage tends to be the stronger PvP pick.
Q: Do I need dual-wield weapons specifically?
A: Yes. Dual-wielding is the Savage's intended weapon style — skills like Bereave and Extraction are built around it. Equip a weapon in both hands and gear for physical attack power to maximize the Savage's output.
