What Is the Blade Knight Full STR PvM Build

The Blade Knight is the first evolution of the Dark Knight (DK) after completing the First Quest at level 150. Among the available specializations, the Full STR PvM build is the dominant choice for players who want to maximize physical damage in solo and party farming.

The premise is straightforward: every STR point directly increases the damage of physical attacks and skills like Twisting Slash and Rageful Blow. With high STR, top-tier equipment, and Wings L2, the Blade Knight tears through monster groups rapidly at the best farm spots in MU Online S6.

Nota: The Blade Knight can equip two-handed swords and shields at the same time — an exclusive class advantage. Use sword + shield for PvM: the shield adds defense without sacrificing damage output.

Stat Allocation by Level Range

The table below shows the recommended attribute distribution at the main character milestones. Each level grants 5 stat points to distribute.

Level 1 to 150 (Dark Knight — pre-evolution)

StatPoints
STRMaximum possible
AGI100 fixed points
VIT50 fixed points
ENE0

In the early levels, focus on reaching enough STR to equip the weapons available at each tier. DK weapons primarily require STR, so the progression is natural.

Equipment STR requirements reference:

  • Sword of Destruction: 130 STR
  • Beuroba: 160 STR
  • Bone Blade: 180 STR
  • Dark Reign Blade: 256 STR

Level 150 to 300 (Blade Knight — post 1st Quest)

Level 200 → STR: 350 | AGI: 120 | VIT: 80 | ENE: 0
Level 250 → STR: 500 | AGI: 130 | VIT: 100 | ENE: 0
Level 300 → STR: 650 | AGI: 150 | VIT: 120 | ENE: 0
Dica: After the First Quest (level 150), you receive a stat bonus. Immediately put everything into STR. The 2nd Quest at level 220 grants another bonus — apply it the same way.

Level 300 to 400 (Advanced Blade Knight)

Level 350 → STR: 800 | AGI: 150 | VIT: 150 | ENE: 0
Level 400 → STR: 950 | AGI: 150 | VIT: 200 | ENE: 0

From level 350 onward, consider adding VIT progressively if you die frequently in Tarkan or Aida spots. The goal is to maintain survivability without giving up damage.

Level 400+ (Blade Master — 3rd Quest)

After completing the Third Quest and evolving to Blade Master, you gain access to the Master Skill Tree. Continue with Full STR and use Master Level points to increase sword skill damage (especially Twisting Slash and Rageful Blow).

Level 400 with Master Lv 50 → STR: 1000+ | AGI: 150 | VIT: 200

Phase 1: Level 1 to 100 — Lorencia and Dungeon

  • Weapon: Sword of Destruction +7 (STR 130) → Gladius +9
  • Armor: Dark set +5 or +7 (full Defense option)
  • Ring/Pendant: Pendant of Fire +0 for initial ATK boost
Nota: Do not invest Jewels in equipment below +7 at this stage. Save Jewel of Bless and Jewel of Soul for upgrades on Dungeon and Lost Tower items.

Phase 2: Level 100 to 200 — Lost Tower and Atlans

  • Weapon: Bone Blade +9 with Luck + Skill options (STR 180)
  • Armor: Black Dragon set +7 with Defense+HP option
  • Shield: Legendary Shield +7 (boosts defense without requiring ENE)
  • Wings: Wing L1 (DK wings) — essential for survivability
Crafting Wing L1:
→ 1x Chaos Weapon (or chaotic item +4 with Luck)
→ 1x Jewel of Chaos
→ Combine in the Chaos Machine (~70% success rate)

Phase 3: Level 200 to 350 — Tarkan and Icarus

  • Weapon: Dark Reign Blade +9 or +10 with Luck + Skill + ATK Speed (STR 256)
  • Armor: Dragon Knight set +9 full option (Defense + HP + Zen)
  • Shield: Dragon Shield +9
  • Wings: Blade Knight Wing L2 (red wings — 3rd Quest)
  • Pendant: Pendant of Lightning +4 for auxiliary magic damage on skills
Atenção: The Dark Reign Blade is the best one-handed sword for Blade Knight in S6. Do not try using two-handed swords in PvM — you lose the defense bonus from the shield and become vulnerable to hits in Tarkan and Aida.

Phase 4: Level 350+ — Aida, Karutan and Beyond

  • Weapon: Sword Dancer +11 or +12 with Ancient options (if available)
  • Armor: DK Ancient set (Hyon, Vicious or similar) for set bonuses
  • Shield: Serpent Shield +10 or Ancient equivalent
  • Wings: Wing L2 +11 or Wing L3 (if available on the server)
Dica: DK Ancient sets like the Hyon Knight Set grant fixed damage and defense bonuses when you equip multiple pieces. Aim for at least 4 pieces from the same set to activate the full bonus.

Farm Spots: Full Roadmap

Level 1 to 80 — Lorencia (Goblins and Budge Dragons)

Location: Lorencia, northeast quadrant (approximately x:120, y:120)

Monsters: Budge Dragon (low EXP, safe for beginners), Hound and Bull Fighter.

Recommended skill: Normal attack — do not waste MP on skills at this stage.

Level 80 to 130 — Dungeon (Floors 1 and 2)

Location: Dungeon 1 and 2, concentrations of Skeleton, Hell Spider and Dark Knight (mob).

  • Dungeon 1: Skeletons and Hound of Baskerville — good for levels 80 to 100
  • Dungeon 2: Hell Spider and Poison Bull Fighter — levels 100 to 120
  • Dungeon 3: Thunder Lich and Dark Knight mobs — levels 120 to 140
Nota: Hell Spider in Dungeon 2 has a good drop rate for Jewel of Bless. It is worth doing focused runs on their spawn while leveling.

Level 130 to 180 — Lost Tower (Floors 3 to 5)

Location: Lost Tower 3 → Lost Tower 5

  • LT3: Cursed Wizard and Death Angel — levels 130 to 150
  • LT4: Death Centurion and Iron Knight — levels 150 to 165
  • LT5: Metal Balrog — levels 165 to 180 (requires Wing L1 and +7 set)
LT5 Route:
→ Enter through the Lorencia portal (NPC Basi)
→ Descend to floor 5
→ Farm at the central Metal Balrog spawn (x:100-140, y:60-100)
→ Use Twisting Slash to hit multiple mobs

Level 180 to 250 — Tarkan 1 and 2

Location: Tarkan — portal via Lorencia

  • Tarkan 1: Baselord, Zaikan, Orcus — levels 180 to 220
  • Tarkan 2: Bloody Orc, Sapi-Tres, Genocider — levels 220 to 260
Dica: In Tarkan 1, stay in the cluster around x:130-170, y:090-130 where Baselord and Zaikan respawn frequently. These mobs drop Jewel of Bless and Jewel of Soul at a solid rate.
Atenção: Tarkan has periodic Hydra invasions. When a Hydra appears, do not try to kill it solo below level 220 — it deals heavy area-of-effect damage.

Level 250 to 330 — Aida 1 and 2

Location: Aida — portal via Devias

  • Aida 1: Shadow of Kundun, Bloody Summoner mobs — levels 250 to 290
  • Aida 2: Lich King, Balram — levels 290 to 330

Aida is one of the best spots for farming Jewel of Creation and quality set items.

Level 330+ — Karutan 1 and 2

Location: Karutan — endgame solo farming

  • Karutan 1: Varag, Orcus Knight — levels 330 to 370
  • Karutan 2: Genocider Knight, Sapi Queen — level 370+
Nota: Karutan 2 is the best solo farming spot for Full STR Blade Knight in S6. The mob density and drop rate for Jewel of Bless and option-bearing items are excellent from level 370 onward with a full +9 set.

Priority Skills and How to Use Them

The Blade Knight has access to a specific skill set after evolution:

SkillUse
Twisting SlashMain AoE — use on groups of 3+ mobs
Rageful BlowHigh single-target damage — bosses and tough mobs
Death StabHigh speed — useful for kiting
Blood Storm (Blade Master)Massive AoE after 3rd Quest
Standard PvM skill rotation:
→ Move into the mob group
→ Twisting Slash (AoE) to hit multiple targets
→ If one mob remains with high HP → Rageful Blow
→ Repeat on the next spawn
Dica: Twisting Slash has moderate mana cost. Use Jewel of Life on your set to get passive HP/MP Regen, or carry a large stock of Potions for long farming sessions.

Wings Progression

Wings are absolutely mandatory for Blade Knight PvM — they grant damage bonuses, damage absorption, and HP absorption from enemies.

Wing L1 (level 150+):
→ 1x Chaos Weapon +4 or equivalent item
→ 1x Jewel of Chaos
→ Combine in the Chaos Machine

Wing L2 (after 3rd Quest, level 400+):
→ 1x Wing L1
→ 1x Loch's Feather (drops from Balgass when Crywolf FAILS)
→ 1x Jewel of Creation
→ Combine in the Chaos Machine

Wing L3 (advanced endgame):
→ 1x Wing L2
→ 3x Loch's Feather
→ 1x Jewel of Creation
→ Combine in the Chaos Machine
Atenção: Loch's Feather only drops from Balgass and only when the Crywolf event FAILS (meaning players fail to defend the altar). Coordinate with your guild to plan when to let Crywolf fail in order to collect Feathers.

Progression Checklist

Use this list to track your advancement:

  • Level 150 — complete the First Quest and evolve to Blade Knight
  • Equip Wing L1 before entering Lost Tower 5
  • Reach STR 256 to equip the Dark Reign Blade
  • Level 220 — complete the Second Quest for the extra stat bonus
  • Build Dark Reign Blade +9 with Luck + Skill
  • Complete the Black Dragon set +9 with full options
  • Level 400 — complete the Third Quest and evolve to Blade Master
  • Craft Wing L2 after the 3rd Quest
  • Reach Karutan 2 with a +10 or Ancient set
Nota: The Full STR build sacrifices VIT in favor of damage. If you die frequently at a particular spot, add 50 VIT points before pushing further into the map. Do not force progression without minimum survivability.

Perguntas frequentes

Do I need AGI on a Full STR Blade Knight?

A minimum AGI investment is required to equip armors and maintain basic defense. Keep between 100 and 150 AGI points and dump everything else into STR to maximize physical damage in PvM.

What sword should I use before getting the Dark Reign Blade?

Use a Knight Blade +9 or +10 with Luck and Skill options while you farm Zen to craft better gear. The Bone Blade +7 is also a solid transition piece between Lost Tower and Tarkan.

Does Blade Knight need ENE points?

No, not for a Full STR PvM build. ENE is only useful for extra mana to cast skills more often, but all damage gains come from STR. Keep ENE at 0 or at the server minimum.

When should I move to Tarkan?

Head to Tarkan at level 180 or above, with at least +7 equipment and an active Wing L1. Tarkan 1 with Baselord and Zaikan provides solid experience and drops Jewel of Chaos and Jewel of Bless.
