Elf Stats
65STR 60DEX 65VIT 35INT 40WIS
As you read, Elves are more of the defensive race. So when you amke an Elf Fighter, you would be very successful becoming a DEFENSIVE and SUPPORTIVE Fighter than others, then they have a Rune Knight class, which is defensive and support buffs which is useful if your pure VIT.
Reccomend: I recoomend the use of maces for Elf Fighters. Why?
Mace Protection: Increases Defense by x% if have mace equipped.
May not be ALOT of percentage but its good enough, but you can be pure STR still having good defense with a Mace.
Ii also reccomend use of a shield. Why? Shields are h4x is why
Anyways, Lets start this guide!
Chapter Two
Class and Stats
Elves are made to be defensive so the class hsould be revolved around being a defensive trait, or supportive trait, so what you need in stats is obviously the most reccomended choice is VIT. You can go STR if you want to be a battler Rune Knight, but this guide is mainly for the defensive trait, so I apologise to the offensive elves, I'm not going to be covering you guys fully in that field. Anyways here are some class paths you can go
Pure Tank (Meat Shield FTW!
)
Fighter->Guard->Infantryman->Phalanx/Knight->Paladin
Stat Raised:
VIT or WIS
Weapon Reccomended:
Mace w/ Shield
Your defense will be through the roof along with your HP. You you will laugh at the hoard of enemeis doing 1s to you and go get a snack while their still fighting you 20 minutes later. Sad thing is you will be highly dependent on skills and will not do that well in attacking. It may take hours to get killed but it will take hours for you to kill. This obviously needs VIT, and a defensive weapon.WIS is also an interesting Tank Build so you can tank heavy magic atacks,a nd dish out continous damage with skills without worrying on healing it. Going Knight for the great passive skills
Offensive (iAttack and iStun!
)
Fighter->Warrior->Swordsman->Rune Knight/Knight-> Sword Master
Stats To raise:
STR
Weapon reccomended: 1H sword Shield, 2h Sword
This path will make you deal the most damage and have many status inflicting skills, like the Rune Knight's Stun, The Strike Attack DOT, and your sleep skill! You will be dishing heavy damage with your sword, and be difficult to kill. Only problem is what you have in attack, you will be lacking in defense... So think carefully before charging in the battlefield thinking rushingout into a group of mobs. I think going offensive means you need to raise STR. Knight for the passive synchro skills
Magic Knight (EAT MY MAGI-- AHH PAAIN HEAAL HEEAAL)
Fighter->Guard->Infantryman->Rune Knight->Paladin
Weapon: 1H Sword / Shield
Stats:
VIT or INT
This is an interesint path, this is for those lokong to be a supportive yet offensiv emagic caster, battle mage in a way. There are some magic swords out thre but I don't know all of them. Anyways, going this path will give you the ability to Heal, Party Buff, and cast magic as a Paladin, the interesting thing is that you can equip a STAFF to deck your magic with, and you will also have the interesting Holy Avenger skill! So when choosing this interesing path, be prepped fpor low attack cause You don't really need attack as a Magic Paladin, so raise VIT. TIP: When you become Paladin, you an go Tank Monk Build(VIT/INT) by resetting your stats, but thats cash shop property so its your decision.
Kyoteki's Fighter build! (The offensive Paladin?!)
Fighter->Guard->Infantryman->Rune Knight->Paladin
Stats to raise:
STR
Weapon: 1H Sword Shield
A Hybrid defenive build. This build is ment to go pure defensive, but here's the twist. You raise STR instead of VIT, this build is really good for being balenced, and killing fast, and tanking really well, Your diversity in skills and abilities will make you pretty hard to beat. But ehres the thing, you may be good in defense, but not THAT good, and you most likely won't be good against VIT Phalanx either..
Kyoteki's 2nd Fighter Build (Tank with a twist?)
Fighter->Guard->Infantryman->Phalanx->Magnus
Stats to raise:
VIT
Weapon reccomended: Sword or Mace 1H.
This path is simular to the one above, except the fact that it is more defensive, instead of becomming Knight, you go Phalanx which has mroe defensive capabilities, and Magnus. (Can still tank though) This build is 100% sureshot good atm, but the problem is when goign Magnus without a sword meaning you won't use sonic boom and other sword skills, but their not really need IMO, You just need Rune Impact to feel love.
Chapter Three
Skill Paths
This guide will focus on Tiers, and not job builds, so I will show a picture of the skill, explain what it does, rate it, and reccomend what to raise it to
Show shall we start?
Fighter
Strike Attack
Reccomended for: ALL One handed builds
This is your main skill to kill with through the game, everyone needs this skill for one handers, max it whenever you get the chance. This skill will do a certain amoutnt of damage depending on STR and will deal a fixed amount of damage over time. (DoT)
Fighter's Heart
Reccomended for: All
Increases STR when raised. Automatically you should know to raise this. This will only get an upgrade when you become an Offensive class. Raise this whenever you see theres a point to.
One Handed Mastery
Reccomended for: One handers
This increases your battle abilities with Attacks, max this whenever seen.
Nature's Shield
Reccomended for All:
Increased your defense when used, but drains your MP. This is your main elf skill, so I suggest highly to learn this to at least level 3.
Mace Mastery or Sword Mastery
Reccommended: All
Here's the moment of truth~! Choose a weapon type, it has to be out of these two, Sword is for the skills as mace is for the defense, choose carefully.
Guard
Blunt Shield
Reccomended for: All One handers who plan to PvP
This skill has a chance of stunning, so You really need this skill, but you don't need it MAXED if your tanking, tankers only need this up to level 3 at least, or less than that.. So becareful raising this skill.
Blessing Guard

This skill increases your defense by a certain amount so you obviously need this, what do you do? MAX this out , and use it for tanking.
