Dark Lord Build in MU Online
Dark Lord build for MU Online: how to create a DL, stat points with Command, skills for each stage, Raven and Horse, and farming with Idle.
The Dark Lord (DL) is the only class with the Command stat. It fights with a scepter, commands the Dark Raven and rides the Dark Horse. It gets 7 points per level, against 5 for the Dark Knight, Dark Wizard and Fairy Elf. It has no 2nd class: it goes straight to Lord Emperor at level 400. The path is in class evolution.
How to create one
On Idle MU the Dark Lord is available from the first character on the account. On the character selection screen, click Create and pick the class.
It starts with 26 Strength, 20 Agility, 20 Vitality, 15 Energy and 25 Command, 90 life and 40 mana.
What Command does
- Dark Raven: more damage and faster attacks.
- Electric Spike and Earthshake: more damage.
- Shield (SD): 1.2 maximum SD per point.
- Attack rate: you hit more often.
- Guild: a DL guild master can take more members.
The DL scrolls need a minimum Command to learn: 70 for Fire Scream, 300 for Increase Critical Damage, 340 for Electric Spike and 400 for Summon.
To put points into Command, use the C window or /cmd 100.
Points and resets
Each level gives 7 points. On a reset your points are cleared and replaced by 1,500 × the number of resets, and the 7 per level add up again as you level back up.
Queue your points with /auto: /auto cmd 400 str 300 places your next points automatically, in that order. See keys and commands.
Damage DL
Fire Burst, Fire Scream and Chaotic Diseier damage grows with Strength and Energy. Energy also raises the multiplier of every DL skill. Command stays at the scroll minimums.
| Stat | Per level | What for |
|---|---|---|
| Strength | 3 | Skill damage and scepter requirement |
| Energy | 2 | Skill damage and mana |
| Vitality | 1 | 2 life per point |
| Command | 1 | Up to 70 early, then up to 300 for the buff |
Command DL
The damage comes from the Dark Raven, Electric Spike and, with the Horse, Earthshake. This is the DL for group play: Electric Spike hits harder for each party member nearby.
| Stat | Per level | What for |
|---|---|---|
| Command | 3 | Raven, Electric Spike, Earthshake and the scrolls |
| Strength | 2 | Scepter requirement and Earthshake damage |
| Energy | 1 | Mana and skill multiplier |
| Vitality | 1 | 2 life per point |
Skills by stage
| When | Skill | How to learn it |
|---|---|---|
| With a scepter | Force Wave | Comes with scepters, from the Battle Scepter on |
| Tarkan and Aida range | Fire Burst | Scroll of FireBurst, drops from monsters |
| 70 Command | Fire Scream | Scroll of Fire Scream |
| 300 Command | Increase Critical Damage | Scroll of Critical Damage, a buff for you and your party |
| 340 Command | Electric Spike | Scroll of Electric Spark |
| 400 Command | Summon | Scroll of Summon, summons an allied monster |
| Level 218 | Earthshake | Comes with the Dark Horse |
| Level 220 | Chaotic Diseier | Scroll of Chaotic Diseier |
DL scrolls drop from monsters. Each one also requires a minimum Energy, shown on the item itself. The full list is in skills.
Fire Burst carries the early game. Fire Scream hits an area and is the farming skill of the damage DL. Chaotic Diseier comes in at 220.
The Raven and the Horse
Both pets are made in the Pet Trainer's mix, with a Spirit and jewels. The Dark Raven has no level requirement and fights at your side. The Dark Horse needs level 218 and brings Earthshake. Recipe, Spirit and the risk of the mix are in the Dark Lord's Raven and Horse.
With Idle
Idle uses one attack skill. Pick the main one for your stage:
- Damage DL: Fire Burst early, Fire Scream later.
- Command DL: Electric Spike once you learn it, or Earthshake while riding the Horse.
With VIP, the Buff block keeps Increase Critical Damage active, and Buff the party extends it to the group nearby. Without VIP, Idle only drinks life potions: keep enough Energy for your mana to last.
Where to leave your DL at each level range is in where to farm.
