Dark Knight Build in MU Online
Dark Knight build for MU Online Season 6: Strength, Agility, Vitality and Energy points, skills by level, evolution, sets and Idle setup.
The Dark Knight is the melee fighter: lots of HP, high sword damage and area skills that clear packs of monsters. It is the easiest class to start with and the toughest one to leave farming on its own.
Points per level
The Dark Knight earns 5 points per level. After the Gain Hero Status quest, from level 220, it earns 6.
On reset, your points are wiped and replaced by 1,500 × your reset count: at reset 3 you start level 1 with 4,500 points to spend, and the points from each level come on top. See the reset tutorial.
What each stat does for a DK
| Stat | Effect |
|---|---|
| Strength | Physical damage and the requirement for almost every weapon and armor |
| Agility | Attack speed, defense and defense rate |
| Vitality | HP: 3 HP per point, the highest of any class |
| Energy | Raises the damage of every skill, and AG |
The Blade Knight combo scales with Strength, Agility and Energy.
Stat distribution
First, meet the Strength and Agility your gear asks for. The rest follows one of two lines.
| Damage DK | Tank DK | |
|---|---|---|
| Strength | 50% | 35% |
| Agility | 20% | 20% |
| Vitality | 15% | 35% |
| Energy | 15% | 10% |
With 4,500 points, the damage DK ends up with about 2,250 Strength, 900 Agility, 675 Vitality and 675 Energy.
- Damage DK: kills faster and earns more experience per hour. For farming a map you already handle.
- Tank DK: survives strong maps and events on fewer potions. For leaving Idle on for many hours.
To spend points without clicking one by one, use /add str 500 or /str 500. To have points spent automatically as you level, use /auto str 1000 agi 300. A reset cancels the queue: set it up again after resetting. To redo everything without resetting, /resetstats. The commands are in keys and commands.
Skills by level
| Level | Skill | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Start | Cyclone, Slash, Lunge, Uppercut, Falling Slash | The equipped weapon |
| Start | Defense | The equipped shield |
| 80 | Twisting Slash (area) | Orb of Twisting Slash, sold by Pasi the Mage in Lorencia |
| 120 | Swell Life (more HP for you and your party) | Orb of Greater Fortitude, dropped by monsters |
| 160 | Death Stab (single target, high damage) | Orb of Death Stab, dropped by monsters |
| 170 | Rageful Blow (area, high damage) | Orb of Rageful Blow, dropped by monsters |
| 220 | Strike of Destruction | Crystal of Destruction, requires the Gain Hero Status quest |
An orb drops from monsters close to the orb's level. Tarkan and Aida drop the orbs in the 74 to 85 range, such as Rageful Blow. See where to farm at each level range.
Evolution
- Blade Knight: second class, from level 150.
- Combo: the Secret of the 'Dark Stone' quest, from Marlon at level 220, unlocks the Blade Knight combo.
- Blade Master: third class, from level 400. Opens the Master Level tree, with upgrades such as Twisting Slash Mastery and Rageful Blow Mastery.
Each quest step by step is in class evolution.
Weapons and sets
| Range | Weapons | Sets |
|---|---|---|
| Early | Gladius, Falchion, Serpent Sword | Leather, Bronze, Scale |
| Mid | Lighting Sword, Legendary Sword, Giant Sword | Brass, Plate, Dragon |
| High | Sword of Destruction, Dark Breaker | Black Dragon, Dark Phoenix |
| Items 114+ | Daybreak, Knight Blade | Great Dragon, Dragon Knight, Titan, Brave |
The Chaos Dragon Axe doesn't drop from monsters: it comes from the Chaos Machine. Bone Blade, Flamberge and Sword Breaker require level 380.
With Idle
- Attack skill: Twisting Slash from 80 and Rageful Blow from 170. An area skill kills the whole pack that comes close, and the DK can take hits from several at once.
- Buff (VIP): Swell Life.
- Potions: health potion at 50% to 60%. Without VIP, Idle doesn't drink mana potions: keep enough Energy so your mana and AG don't run out.
- Spot: the tank DK can stand in the middle of a monster spawn without dying. See Idle.
