Introduction Welcome to my guide, I hope you enjoy reading this bundle of letters and learn more about Lord Knights.

Quote:

Overview Now my work begins, so let's start. At this point many of you will say "There is a MvP-Build, WoE-Build, PvP-Build, etc.", but I sum it up to only 3 Builds: Tank Damage-per-second Hybrid So what do I mean now? Let's go on with the Tanker. Tanker A Tanker is meant to be a Vit skilled Knight to take the damage instead of his mates. Damage-per-second This build is based on a good amount of damage, so you need a lot of Agi to boost your attack speed and Str to boost your damage. Farther you can go for Luk to crit better than an Assassin. Hybrid A Hybrid is in my opinion the best one especially as Rebirth Class with +100 Stat points. This build is moderate Vit, Agi, high amount of Str and some Dex.

Stat-Builds Here you can find a calculator Tanker Str = 95 + 15 / 95 + 25 (Buffs) Agi = 1 + 8 / 1 + 20 (Buffs) Vit = 82 + 8 Int = 28 + 2 / 28 + 12 (Buffs) Dex = 51 + 9 / 51 + 19 (Buffs) Luk = 7 + 3 HP = 18946 SP = 497 Hit = 159 ASPD = 163.8 Damage-per-second (w/o luk) Str = 95 + 15 / 95 + 35 (Buffs, 2x Muscle Ring, Firelock Soldier Card) Agi = 72 + 8 / 72 + 20 (Buffs) Vit = 2 + 8 Int = 10 + 2 / 10 + 12 (Buffs) Dex = 71 + 9 / 71 + 19 (Buffs) Luk = 7 + 3 HP = 10969 SP = 428 Hit = 179 ASPD = 176 Damage-per-second (w/ luk) Note: This build is heavily based on Equipment, you will need Crit Rate increasing Items and Cards. Str = 95 + 15 / 95 + 35 (Buffs, 2x Muscle Ring, Firelock Soldier Card) Agi = 72 + 8 / 72 + 20 (Buffs) Vit = 1 + 8 Int = 8 + 2 / 8 + 12 (Buffs) Dex = 21 + 9 / 21 + 19 (Buffs) Luk = 67 + 3 / 67 + 33 (Gloria) Hybrid Str = 95 + 15 / 95 + 35 (Buffs, 2x Muscle Ring, Firelock Soldier Card) Agi = 52 + 8 / 52 + 20 (Buffs) Vit = 52 + 8 Int = 38 + 2 / 38 + 12 (Buffs) Dex = 51 + 9 / 51 + 19 (Buffs) Luk = 2 + 3 Explanation: What are the stats needed for now? Str gives you the needed strength and power. Agi gives you more attack speed. Vit gives you more survivability and status resistance. Int gives you higher amount of SP to spam your devastating Skills. Dex gives you Hit so you won't miss the target while auto-attacking. Luk gives you Crit chance, this hit can't miss and is higher than your normal attack damage. The Tanker mostly needs damage reduction items, so the stat-boni only get increased by buffs. The DPS (w/o luk) should go for str-equip, he easily reachs 130 Str. The DPS (w/ luk) could need str/crit, I decided str because with gloria and his base luk he reachs good critical rate. The Hybrid can decide between damage reduction items or to go for str-equip to reach 130. Note: For PvP/WoE I always would go for damage reduction equipment, because the damage boost between 120 and 130 str isn't that great in my opinion.

How to level up You start as Novice in Poring Heaven. Leveling up to job level 10 goes faster if you skilled str and dex. After becoming Swordman you kill Ant Eggs in Anthell 1. With Bash 10 and some str go Payon Cave 1 and kill those undeads. Later you can try Payon Cave 2. There you should do your job 50 quite fast. The easiest way is to get a Mage who leechs you in Clock Tower F2. As Knight you do some job levels. Depending on the Stat and Skill Build you can solo and kill monster by monster. Or you can mob them up and finish them with Brandish Spear or Bowling Bash, Tension Relax helps you regenerating the damage taken. Best way to level up still is to get a (High) Priest who leechs you in Sphing 4 at Anubis. The same sh** repeats if you do Rebirth.

He will fight with Spear-Type weapon (compare with Skill-Build) The Damage-per-second build needs Str and Damage Increase Equipment like Muscle Rings and so on. The Hybrid can choose between them.

How to play Tanker First off, what Items will you need? You always should have (Slim-) White Potions, (Slim-) Blue Potions, Yggdrasil Berry or Seeds and Panaceas. WoE-Attacking: Now the interesting part begins. A special strategy would be if you are the leader of your guild. So go with some other tanks with potions into a castle. Run through the Defense to the Emperium-Room. Now use the Guild-Skill to call your whole guild to you. You will now try to kill 1) long-ranged fighters with Spiral Pierce / run to them and Bash, Bowling Bash them or 2) rush down Asura Strikers (care to have full health to alive the Asura Strike) and of course (High-) Wizards & (Scholar) Sages. By reaching the Emperium you should harrass the enemies, don't attack the Emperium it's not your job. WoE-Defending Build up a Defense with your guild. Long-ranged fighters, casters and Asura Strikers in the background; Tanks (including you), Healers and (1x or 2x) Loki's Wall at the foreground. If they come in harrass them. Use Bowling Bash for mobs. In the Emp.-Room kill the Emp.-Breakers (Assassins, DPS-Knights, some others). Damage-per-second WoE-Attacking: You should be near tankers. Aim casters,long-ranged fighters, Asura Strikers and weak Healers. You will need a lot of SP Recovery Items because of the expensive Bowling Bash and your low SP value. By reaching the Emp.-Room run instantly to it and destroy it, don't care about some enemies attacking you! WoE-Defending: You are behind tankers again and rape everything you see. Firstly focus weak ones like casters and so on. Hybrid He does the same as the Tanker one. Your comments are appreciated! If you like the guides, please subscribe via email or feeds.
