Dark Knight (DK)

The tanky warrior of MU. High melee damage and lots of HP. Evolves into Blade Knight then Blade Master.

Dark Wizard (DW)

The most feared area damage dealer in PvM. Fragile, so it requires good positioning. Evolves into Soul Master then Grand Master.

Fairy Elf

The indispensable support: buffs the group's attack and defense, heals and attacks from range. Evolves into Muse Elf then High Elf.

Magic Gladiator (MG)

A force/magic hybrid that has no second class — already strong but needs a higher level to create. Evolves into Duel Master.

Dark Lord (DL)

The leader: commands pets, has guild command skills and is strong in PvP. Evolves into Lord Emperor.

Nota: See the dedicated build guide for each class for stat distribution, recommended sets and skill rotations for PvP and PvM.
