DARK KNIGHT
The Dark Knight is the tank class of MU Origins. It is designed to get close to the enemy and take the damage that is thrown out by enemy monsters and players alike. The DK is designed to close the gap quickly and crowd control with strong close range aoe and stuns.
SKILLS
The DK has four main attack skills and a beneficial party buff.
Death Stab- Frontal power attack. Range 6m, Cooldown 4s. Crowd control effect- Knockback.
Cyclone- Short range full aoe with medium damage per hit. Range 4m. Cooldown 4s. Full Mobility during animation.
Rageful Blow- Powerful full short range aoe. Range 4m. Cooldown 10s. Crowd Control- Stun.
Ravage- Long Range Frontal aoe power attack. Range 6m. Cooldown 8s. Crowd Control- Stun with chance at slight knockback.
Buff- HP increase based upon % +base amount
The fast activating and mobility of Cyclone makes this skill the bread and butter of the DK. Use this skill to do damage as you close the gap with enemies.
Use Rageful blow to lock down targets after you have closed the distance gap.
Once the target has been stunned, use the fast activating skill Death Stab to do a massive amount of damage to the target.
Use ravage on a stunned target or target retreating in a straight line. This skill can be devastating and damaging to crowded groups of enemies.
The Rageful blow skill is the slowest activating skill of the DK, but is hard to dodge if activated near the target.
On boss fights, Rageful blow and ravage on cooldown. Follow up with Ravage. Fill in skill cooldown gaps with cyclone.

BUILD TYPES
End game, the DK has two build types that will be available to them, Tank and DPS. The difference is DPS type weapons or 1h weapon and shield.
Tank Build sacrifices damage output for extra armor. Tank build is used to counter High Damage output enemies such as elf and Bosses. Reference Below PVP Build for additional information on focuses.
DPS build sacrifices defense for higher damage output. This build is used to close in to enemies and burn them quickly. Referenc DS, Balance, and PVP builds below for focuses.
During the leveling phase, there are 3 types of build focuses that a player can choose from for the dk class; DS, Balance and PVP. Each one has a distinct focus that it builds upon to achieve within the game.
DS BUILD
The DS build is the typical PVE build focused purely on damage. This build is used for focusing on farming DS loots for faster progression through the leveling phase.
Fruit levels determine armor set. No points are put into Stam. The bare minimum agi for highest tier weapons able to be achieved for current level. The remaining amounts of stat points are put into str to maximize damage.
This build has very little armor and defense. Not ideal to use this build for PVP situations or events.
Pet Focus is pets like Garuda, Red Dragon and other max dmg pets.
Feather Focus is Blaze, Glacier, and Thunderclap.
BALANCE BUILD
Balance build is a hybrid build that has weapons higher tier than armor set, but has sustainability in pvp situations.
After achieving the highest level weapon, points are placed into stam and agility to match the armor set to weapon tier within one level.
This build has decent armor and defense.
Pet focus is pets like Garuda, Freezer, Bone Dragon and Red dragon.
Feather focus is Blaze, Glacier, and Thunderclap.
PVP BUILD

Pet focus is Freezer, Pegasus, Bone dragon and similar defensive style pets.
Feather focus is Blaze and Thunderclap.
WEAPON OPTIONS
