                          Dark Knight

The Dark Knight or more commonly known as Blade Knight as it's second class is the most iconic character in the Mu universe and one of the first to come out. One of the most if not most powerful melee character in both PVP and PVM in-game. Able to strike and deliver deadly blows in close-range with it's unique skills and what it lacks in defense it makes up for in HP and has the largest hit points of all class which makes this class the most popular character in game.

The natural high strength that comes with able to wield two swords comes with great physical damage, as well as the skill to double its hit points (HP) makes the Dark Knight a formidable character to keep the minions of Lord Kundun at bay. This character starts it's journey from Lorencia at level 1.

In our MuX Legend Servers the Dark Knight Starts at a safe location on the north eastern most tip of Lorencia, the character starts with free 2000 Points to distribute for easy start for new players. And with every level up the Dark Knight gains free 5 Points (6 Points after Sir Marlon's Quest).

Leveling Up & Farming:

• Pentagrams, even with low to no resets characters can level up solo with the help of pentagrams (a free Pentagram package for beginners is available in the inventory upon creating a new character). You may learn more about Pentagrams here: Pentagrams.
• MuX Legend Server's unique in-game quests system from Quest Master will really give you a big help on your journey. Full info about in-game quests here. 

 

• Satans  which grants +30% Damage & Guardian Angels  which grants +30% Defense.  (These pets are basically weak and die fast, so you need to collect plenty of them, they drop from lower level maps such as Lorencia, Noria, Elbeland and Devias).

 

• It's also going to be helpful if u utilize the use of Wizard's Ring that gives additional Increase Damage/ Wizardry Damage +10% and speed. They drop from the Orcs that comes along with the White Wizard during their invasion. The durability (life) of the ring while in use is only 30 minutes, so save plenty for future use. White Wizard's invasions are at Lorencia, Noria and Devias maps.  

 

• For mobility, you must use boots +5 and above or ride mounts (Uniria, Dinorants etc). Dinorants on the other hand can give you additional damage +15% and additional damage absorb +10% and grants the rider the ability to use the special "Raid Skill" exclusive for Dark Knights from Dinorants. To create a Dinorant you must collect Uniria 10x with full health (255) & 1 Jewel of Chaos and combine at the Chaos Goblin.

          

• In advanced farming in higher level maps and leveling up Master/ Majestic levels.

• The use of Horn of Fenrir which grants the rider damage increased +10%, damage absorbed+10% or even more with the Fenrir +Illusion damage increased +15% & damage absorbed+10%. You may read here for complete information how to create: Horn of Fenrir Creation.

PVM/ PVE:

This character is a natural when it comes to killing mobs, what it lacks in range makes it up in big damage. To start off, the character should have additional points on Strength and some Stamina for PVM/ PVE, however when gaining more resets and as monsters are getting stronger, it is also advised to cash in more Energy for Skill ATK (%) which helps against mobs. It is also highly advisable that you use items with damage decrease + zen increase for sets and with life and mana recovery after mobs died for weapons for better farming zen and staying alive!

Here are the favorable maps where you can fast level up this character:

Here is my Dragon Knight Character's favorable stats for PVM/ PVE (Note: Character has not yet accomplished quests from Quest Master so it has the stat points from 100 resets.) :

 

Here is my Dragon Knight's favorable Master Skill Tree for PVM/ PVE (Note: If you don't have 3rd Level Wings, you can use the remaining points to add on other useful attributes.) :

Here is my Dragon Knight's favorable Majestic Skill Tree for PVM/ PVE (Note: I Don't have 4th Wings on my Dragon Knight so I didn't put points on 4th Wings Enhancement) :

PVP:

For PVP it's undoubtedly that the Dark Knight is the most dangerous character specially in close range combat, with the unique ability to do COMBO it's game over when this class gets close. There are a lot of debates out there in terms of stats, and also these stats must compliment the style of the player, the types of items and options the character is equipped etc. But I will try to discuss here the basics and the common and just to give you the basic idea.

Combo:

The Dark Knight is feared by it's enemies for it's unique ability to learn combo skill, the requirements to learn the skill: Must be a Blade Knight (2nd Class), level 220 to complete Marlon's Quest. It's not only useful in PVP but in PVM/PVE that has large health as well.
