How does the Warrior skill tree work?
Up to level 10 you pick up basic skills like Stroke, Slash, Crash, Defense and Piercing automatically as you level. At 10 you pay 3,000 Noah to [Grand Merchant] Kaishan in Moradon for the first job change (Knight Online 1st job change (level 10 skill) quest: requirements and reward), become a Berserker on Karus or a Blade on El Morad, and three tabs open up. A skill unlocks once its tab has enough points; hover the skill in the skill window (K) to see the requirement.
- Attack: damage skills, ending with Hell Blade at 80 points.
- Defense: defense and resistance passives, Provoke, Binding, Descent and Sacrifice, ending with Iron Body at 80.
- Passion: buffs for attack and defense plus area hits, ending with Battle Cry and Cry Echo at 83.
- Master: opens after the level 60 master quest and takes at most 23 points.
How many skill and stat points does a Warrior get per level?
Per the in-game FAQ, skill points follow (level − 9) × 2, so every level after 10 gives 2 skill points. For stats you get 3 points per level, 5 from level 61 on. A tab can't go above your level, and the master tab takes at most 1 point for each level past 60 (2 at level 62, 5 at 65). Master points come out of the same skill pool.
| Level | Total stats | Stats you place | Skill points | Master points (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 327 | 37 | 2 | |
| 20 | 357 | 67 | 22 | |
| 30 | 387 | 97 | 42 | |
| 40 | 417 | 127 | 62 | |
| 50 | 447 | 157 | 82 | |
| 60 | 477 | 187 | 102 | |
| 70 | 527 | 237 | 122 | 10 |
| 75 | 552 | 262 | 132 | 15 |
| 80 | 577 | 287 | 142 | 20 |
| 83 | 592 | 302 | 148 | 23 |
Total stats are the Warrior's 290 starting stats plus the points you place. After 83, every rebirth level adds 2 more stat points; see What to do after level 83 in Knight Online: rebirth, talismans, dailies and farming.

How do you unlock the Warrior 70, 75 and 80 skills?
After mastering, the 70, 75 and 80 skills need a quest from [Warrior Master] Skaki on top of the tab points. Each quest unlocks the skill in all three tabs at once, and Skaki asks for 5 Spell Stone Powder at 70, 10 at 75 and 15 Spell Stone Powder at 80; per the powder's description, Narki knows what it's for (Knight Online Narki: where to find him and what dismantling items gives you). Quest pages: Knight Online 70 skill (70Lv skill) quest: Warrior Master Skaki, requirements and reward, Knight Online 75 skill (75Lv skill) quest: Warrior Master Skaki, requirements and reward, Knight Online 80 skill (80Lv skill) quest: Warrior Master Skaki, requirements and reward.
| Quest | Level | Required | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70Lv skill | 70 | 5 Spell Stone Powder | Howling Sword, Iron Skin, Berserker |
| 75Lv skill | 75 | 10 Spell Stone Powder | Blooding, Wall Of Iron, Berserk Echo |
| 80Lv skill | 80 | 15 Spell Stone Powder | Hell Blade, Iron Body, Hp Booster |
| Scream | 61 | 7 Certificate of Victory | Scream Scroll |
What is the best Warrior skill build?
Build for where you'll play. The three examples below spend all 148 points at level 83; at 70 you have 122, at 75 132 and at 80 142, so fill them in the same order.
| Goal | Attack | Defense | Passion | Master | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PvP and party | 80 | 45 | 23 | Hell Blade, +20% defense and +90 resistance passives, Provoke, every master skill | |
| Solo farming | 65 | 60 | 23 | Sword Dancing, Blade Of Hell (250% AoE), Regeneration, Frenzy | |
| Support (Battle Cry) | 42 | 83 | 23 | Battle Cry, Berserker, Berserk Echo, Hp Booster |
For PvP, Defense 45 is the most valuable 45 points in our view: Bulwark adds 20% defense and Immunity 90 to every resistance, both passive. The Battle Cry build gives the party +15 to every stat except STR within 30, but each cast burns a Stone of Warrior. If you mess up, a Redistribution Item lets you place your points again.
What is the best Warrior stat build?
A Warrior starts with STR 65, HP 65, DEX 60, INT 50 and MP 50 and you place 10 bonus points at creation; race doesn't change this. Per the in-game description, STR raises melee attack and carry weight, HP raises max HP and DEX raises hit rate.
The common build among players is STR up to 255 with every other point in HP. At 83 you have 302 points to place: 190 take STR from 65 to 255 and the other 112 bring HP to 177. If you tank more, moving some points from STR to HP is also played. Gear points the same way: the level 75 Krowaz, Rosetta and Holy Knight Warrior tops need STR 196 and HP 94, the level 80 [Steel Lion] Spear needs STR 202.
What weapons can a Warrior use?
Warriors use one- and two-handed swords, axes, clubs and spears plus shields; bows, jamadars and priest weapons are off limits. The Defense tab's defense passives grow with a shield and its resistance passives drop to half without one. We'd use one-hander and shield for tanking and PvP, a two-hander for farming and damage. High class weapons compared: Knight Online Raptor vs Iron Impact: high class weapon stats and where they drop.
Which Warrior skills hit an area?
The area skills sit in Passion: Blade Of Hell (60) hits nearby monsters for 250% and Berserk Echo (75, quest) nearby enemies for 300%. Anger Explosion, a basic skill at level 50, deals continuous area damage that ignores defense once the Anger Gauge is full. Hit Provoke from the Defense tab first to bunch the monsters up.
