Ragnarok Online 2 Knights superior strength in foundations and leadership is a tremendous asset to the Kingdom of Prontera.


Oh oh, so basically , Knight is a tank! so what STATS should I go for????
*NOTED that there's no ACTUAL stats for Tank, since vit is pretty much useless unless your want to see your HP higher than anyone (slightly). But I recommend either this 3 stats:

Stat
40 str
40 agi
8 vit

40 str
30 agi
rest vit

*this build if you think you don't need any HP boost*
41 str
41 agi

STR - increase your Phy. attack and your parry rates
VIT - Increase your HP
AGI - Increase your dodge rates and critical rates.

The only stat you need to focus is having 40 str at the end of the day. This is because that's the source of your phy. attack! Besides that, what's matter the most is your equipment's bonus stats as they have a big role in boosting your status.

Concentration 0/3
a BIG NO-NO. you're a tank, there's no point increasing damage taken. *sigh*

Aura Heal 0/3 or 3/3
max this if you want to heal yourself. Though, I recommend to leave this as 0/3 since even with full epic equipment, it only heals you up to 300 hp.

Shield Charge 1/5

Shield Boomberang 1/5
Just to agro/kite monster. leave this at level 1.

Aura Shield 5/5
Max this. reduce 20% damage taken for 10seconds. will definitely come handy when party dungeon / raiding!

Well, I know that it's hard when you screwed up with your skill, but hey, no pain no gain!

Skill Rotation
I've been trying to ask you about ROTATION skill for days already! TELL ME ABOUT IT!? D:
sorry! I was so busy with my upcoming exam and all that . Please don't get mad at me T.T anyway about my skill rotation, here it is!
I start with:
SHIELD BOOMERANG(to kite) / PROVOKE (if you're afraid that the rdps out-dps you and take the aggro themselves) > SHIELD CHARGE > HEAD CRUSH > BASH > AURA STRIKE (if I'm not mistaken you can got 3 aura by this time) > SHIELD BASH > BASH > SHIELD CANNON > BASH > HEAD CRUSH (if it's already 20 seconds, otherwise just continue bash) / SHIELD BASH (if there's no cd, otherwise continue bash) > AURA STRIKE > BASH > BASH > BASH > SHIELD CANNON. and then do whichever rotation you like

So, uhm. another question! how 'bout EQUIPMENT?!
Well, before you're hitting lv 50, I suggest you using any type of equipment. just get some green and blue, here and there. When you're lvl 50, try to join Hard Dungeon Mode for cool blue equipments and Raids (PVP arena and Bapho raids) for epic equipment!.

ONE LAST QUESTION! I saw there's card slot in my character's screen. what does it do and what CARD should I put in those slot?

Card Guide ( Special Thanks to SushiPao!)

In a recent interview with GRAVITY Co., Ltd. CTO Jin-soo Jun, it was revealed that the card system will indeed be making a comeback, but this time the cards will be attached to the character instead of individual items. The reason for this change is the fact that in Ragnarok Online many rare items were often overshadowed by low level items socketed with powerful cards. This made the inherent abilities in rare items a lot less relevant, and it proved to be a limiting factor when making new content. [3] Furthermore, in Ragnarok Online, many players had trouble obtaining these cards because they were too rare. To counter this issue GRAVITY Co., Ltd. implemented cards in ranks of bronze, silver, and gold. Therefore a gold card will be difficult to obtain, whereas the bronze card will be relatively common. This new system had then been modified in the "Limited Edition Test" so that instead of bronze, silver, and gold cards, there will be regular and special cards. By combining 5 of the same card, players will be rewarded with a special version of that card which will further increase its stats. Once a player has the maximum amount of cards equipped, you must destroy one of the equipped cards to replace it with a new one. Replacing a special card with a new one will result in the card not being destroyed, but sent back to your inventory instead. (resources from Wikipedia)
Well, basically those card slot are for used to boost your stats. at lv 1, you have 1, at lv10, you'll have 2 slot and so on.

Here's some of the cards that work great for warrior:
Ancient Assassin Card (I don't remember the stats. but it add your str/agi and vit if I'm not mistaken)

Snatcher Raiders Card
str +6
agi +6
int +6
wis +6
vit +17

Garbong card
STR +9
agi +9
vit +9
int +6
wis +3
