Melee crit paradise dk edition

Introduction

This is a comprehensive one-stop bible for melee crit players in MuhRO through the lens of a Melee Crit Dragon Knight.

Lore of Dragon Knight

Dragon Knights (DK) are the 4th class of the knight branch who gain the powers of the Red Dragon through Leticia; a cosmic dragon who took notice of your character after mastering your mana acquired through Runes ( one that draw the respect of dragons but scares off Pecos) discovered in Ash Vacuum as a Rune Knight . Ash Vacuum is an alternate dimensions where Satan Morroc hailed from.

The Crit DK is one of 2 main playstyles for DK that directly imbue the Strength of the Dragon into his Sword to dish out outrageous DPS through skills like:

STORM SLASH: One of the highest DPS single-target skill due to short cool down and 60% chance to deal double damage,
Hack and Slasher: A 7x7 AOE skill to deal with mobs. The damage is okay but the AOE is small as the downside of Crit DK.
Charge Attack: At 14 cells- the furthest mobility target skill in game, allows Crit DK to close in on any target easily.
Vigor: Draws out the dragon's energy to deal 50% additional damage to Angel and Demi-human enemies. Also increases normal attack damage.

The other playstyle draws upon the Vitality of the dragon to spew flames via Dragonic Breath- a build with lesser Single target DPS but more life and better AOE (9x9).

Highlight of the melee crit DK build

Pro:

The high DPS of the skill Storm Slash, coupled with all the other defensive tools available to you as through Runes makes you probably the best boss-killer in the current meta.

The best playstyle to compliment this is through instances with bosses that offers great pay-outs. There is a section on instances in this guide below.

Con:

The small 7x7 AOE of Hack and Slasher makes your field-farming capabilities much lower than the typical mage, besides selected dungeons where pathways are narrower. Fortunately, the current end game dungeon, Depth 2, is one of them, and still remains very profitable in the current meta.

However field-farming is a big part of the game (at least until the late phases), and MUHRO even improves upon it by having cash shop items such as Blacksmith's blessings and Bloody branches being acquirable through field farming. As such, you may find that the starting farm speed of the CRIT DK is slow but it is worth the wait as you will eventually get strong enough to beat powerful instances much faster than most classes.

Pre-game Setup

Turbo

In official servers, some players set up external macro programs to help them spam and click skills. MuhRO has it's own one built into the game to even the playing fields without cheating. This is a game-changer in your gaming experience, so make sure to set it up first!

Refer to: https://wiki.muhro.eu/Patcher#Turbo_Setup

TIP: Turbo is useful not only for skill spamming, as you can use the rapid click feature to :

quickly sell all your junk to NPC, doing so safely by first putting all of your valuables into the fav tab in your inventory and then locking it.
level up skill points quickly through the rapid click to save time as well.

Autoloot

MuhRO has a very comprehensive loot system that lets you save various versions of autolooting items dropped by monsters in game. However, new players usually find that they have to keep retyping their autoloot options on login. Reason is that you need to save your current loot setup as the main login option.

You may do so via the command @alc , which allows you to save several different loot lists.

You can load different ones that you saved via @als as well.

Generally for new players, we would typically just type @autoloot 100 to loot everything, and use @nolootid +id to not pick up items that weight too much.

Refer to : https://wiki.muhro.eu/index.php?title=Autoloot_setups for more information on loot setup options.

Eden and Daily Quests

Levelling

While some classes may have issues levelling their first character, DK is not one of them. In fact, you'll be please to know that following my guide will let you hit lvl240~250 relatively painlessly as a DK.

A full levelling video is provided for visual purpose:

Lvl1-99

Follow through the tutorial to acquire the free HE Manual. Please hit LVL10 before exiting to save some time from visiting a separate dungeon. Equip your free costume.
Head to Office (@go Office)and job-change. If you are not yet lvl10, head to lasagna and walk down to kill Eggrings to get above 10.
Go to eden (@go Eden), register with Eden Group and collect your paradise equipment+ sword.
IMPORTANT: Use your free HE manual now as it will be disabled beyond lvl40. The duration does not tick down while in Town areas so you can relax in prontera even with it activated.
Head to Orc Dungeon and beat orcs with Bash and Magnum Break until Job lv50.
Job change to Knight at job lv50 at @go Office and @go Eden to collect your second weapon, a twohanded sword.
Head back to Orc Dungeon, and have fun with Charge Attack until lvl75.
@go Eden and collect the lvl70-99 Board quests (Just click the "Take All" option). We are after only Petite, and sometimes Mantis.
