IC. About this FAQ |=-

Hi everyone and welcome to my MU Stat Buildup FAQ. This is my second FAQ to be submitted on GameFAQS (the first being the Kidou Tenshi Angelic Layer Move List FAQ).

Obviously, ths FAQ will tackle stat building. You will read more about the character classes and their _probable_ stat builds below.

I say probable 'coz everyone has their own way of making their characters grow. I just posted how I made mine (or my buddies' characters that they don't know how to place their stats).

I can only show you how I do it my way. The final decision is always up to you.

ID. Version History |=-

1.0 - Uploaded the Stat Build FAQ (the DL stat builds coming soon).

1.3 - Added a few notes here and there, corrected a li'l slip-up, and I've finally finished testing the DL stat builds (thanks v_hunter! n_n)

1.4 - Patched up the tiny blank I accidentally left (thanks again v_hunter!) and added ASCII art.

2.0 - Removed the "trash builds" (Did anyone make the mistake of following them?), added the Permitted Sites section (and the following ranting), and the Dis-Credits Section (got that idea from Rentacs).

2.0b- Added one more site to the Permitted Sites list

†_____________________________________________________________________________††_____________________________________________________________________________†

-=| Stats and Builds |=-

Stats affect every aspect of your character in MU. Whether you are in Bahr,Titan (the merged Maya & Wigle servers) or Test (where I have my account), the stats you distribute play a very big role on how you play.

As there are different characters in MU, there are also different ways of playing them. There are curerntly five playable characters in MU:

· Dark Knight [DK] (~> which evolves into the Blade Knight [BK]); · Dark Wizard [DW] (~> Soul Master [SM]); · Fairy Elf [FE] (~> Muse Elf [ME]); · Magic Gladiator [MG]; and · Dark Lord [DL].

You get the MG by getting one character to level 220, and the DL by level 250.

MU Philippines has now phased out its Test Server and replaced it with the Muren (Kara2) Server. The Muren patch now has Aida and the Crywolf Fortress open to the public.

The Land Of Trial can only be accessed by the current castle holders and their allied guilds. Unless, of course, they make the LOT access public...

IIA. The Knights |=-

The Dark Knight is one of the most favorite characters in MU Philippines. He has high power, deadly skills, tons of armor, and a wide array of weapons to choose from. After completing the Scroll of Emperor and Broken Sword quests,you can become a Blade Knight.

One reason that the knight is so favored is due to his lethal Combo, a string of attacks that is unique only to the Blade Knight. The Combo quest is exclusive to Blade Knights Lv250 and above.

Three attacks make up the Combo, one from the weapon itself and the other two from your skill arsenal: Twisting Slash, Rageful Blow, and Death

Stab. The first can be acquired while still a DK, the other two require BK status. Most Blade Knights favor weapons with the Cyclone Cutting skill.

{ ~KN000 }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IIA1. Vitality Knight

Stats:Str: 500Agi: 300Vit: 800~1300Ene: 150~200

Recommended Weapons:Basically anything

Recommended Armor Set: +7 Dragon Set +9~+13 Garuda Brass Set

Notes: It should be pretty obvious that this build emphasizes more on your HP, thus making you a *bit* exasperating target for PK'ers and monsters alike. What more if you're the type who likes to use Greater Fortitude every now and then?

{ ~KN01V }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IIA2. Agility Knight

Stats:Str: 500Agi: 1600Vit: 300

Ene: 100

Recommended Weapons: **LIMITED FROM +7 UP TO +9** Swords (Sword Of Destruction, Knight Blade, Dark Breaker, etc.)

Spears (Dragon Spear)

Recommended Armor Set: +7 Dragon Set or +7 Black Dragon Set

Notes: Agility points in MU reflect your attack speed and evasion, sometimes your damage (as is the case for Elves). A high-agi knight is necessary for quick assaults, ambushes, and staying long in duels.

The weapon level limit restriction is due to the possibility that they maynot be able to meet the required stats.

{ ~KN02A }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IIA3. PK-Type Knight

Stats:Str: 1000Agi: 260Vit: 800Ene: 120

Recommended Weapons: Swords (Sword Of Destruction, Knight Blade, Dark Breaker, etc.)

Spears (Dragon Spear)

Recommended Armor Set: +13 Dark Phoenix Set or +7 or higher Great Dragon Set +13 Hyon Dragon or Kantata Plate Set

Notes: As you can see, the PK Knight has high str, decent agi, and a big chunk of hit points. This build is ideal for your sub (second) characters,

because by thetime you've leveled your first character up you would've set aside an armor set along with the weapons. Not to mention this knight would be very in demand when it comes to duels, guild wars or castle defense/siege.

{ ~KN03P }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IIA4. Sweller Type Knight

Stats:Str: 500Agi: 400Vit: 800+Ene: 1000~1600

Recommended Weapons: **LIMITED TO +7** Blunt weapons (Morning Star, Flail, Crystal Morning Star, etc.) Swords (Sword Of Destruction, Knight Blade, Dark Breaker, etc.)

Recommended Armor Set: +7 ~ +13 Bronze Set or +7 Dragon Set +9 ~ +13 Hyperion Bronze Set

Notes: The high ene stat translates to 300% skill damage or more, meaning if you have this knight cast Greater Fortitude while solo or in a party, the HP increase would be big. As in BIG, with almost a 1.5x increase! One downside is that he can't be in the thick of the fight at the frontlines, but he can be a big help along the middle columns, providing cover for the wizards and elves. Hey, a 300 percent skill damage increase is still a 300 percent skill damage increase!

IIB. The Wizards |=-

These are the magicians of MU. Although they have low physical power, they make up for it by their astounding magical prowess. Wizards (and their second-level counterparts Soul Masters) make a big contribution to their guilds with powerful magic spells such as Nova, Aqua Beam, and Teleport Ally.

{ ~WI000 }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IIB1. Energy Wizard

Stats:Str: (Meet the requirements of your equipment)Agi: (Meet the requirements of your equipment)Vit: 600~800Ene: 1200~1500

Recommended Weapons:Staffs (Staff of Destruction, Legendary Staff, etc.)

Recommended Armor Set: +7 ~ +13 Legendary Set, Grand Soul or Dark Soul Set

+9 ~ +13 Anubis Legendary Set

Notes: As far as I know, this is the most widely used build in MU Philippines for Wizards. Energy dictates the amount of damage you inflict on opponents (esp. the special or magical attacks), so having a high energy stat will mean a high amount of damage inflicted. The downside, of course, would be your VERY LOW DEFENSE - one hit from close range, or one stray Ice Arrow will almost surely kill you. Unless, of course, you cast Nova first... (-.-)

{ ~WI01E }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IIB2. Hybrid Wizard

Stats:Str: (Meet the requirements of your equipment)Agi: 800+Vit: (Any value will do)Ene: 800+

Recommended Weapons:Staffs (is there any other weapon??)

Recommended Armor Set: +7 ~ +13 Legendary, Grand Soul or Dark Soul Set

Notes: For those who wish to strike a balance between a fast-casting wizard and at the same time keep decent damage. Don't expect your wizard to make a one - hit kill, though...

IIC. The Elves |=-

Ah, the Elves. They're the only females in MU (aside from Queen Rainiers inIcarus and Ice Queens in Devias ^^), can use (cross)bows and maces, and some ofthe Knight's weaponry. Elves excel primarily in ranged combat and support, thusmaking them an invaluable part of any guild.

{ ~EL000 }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IIC1. Energy Elf [a.k.a. "Buffers", "EE"]

Stats:Str: (Meet the requirements of your equipment)Agi: (Meet the requirements of your equipment)Vit: (Any value will do)Ene: 1500+

Recommended Weapons:Elemental Weapon Set (Scepter + Mace)

Any shield + Kris Any Excellent Shield + Excellent Kris

Recommended Armor Set: +7 ~ +13 Vine, Silk or Wind Set (anything higher needs more Str) +7 ~ +13 Excellent Vine or Slik Set

Notes: This is a difficult build, but in the end it pays for itself. Having a low attack power can be daunting, but when you're in a party your buffing and/or healing is considerably better.

I've confirmed that using a Kris would enable your Elf to cast spells faster than using the Elemental Mace, but the Elemental Shield would be your best bet for additional defense.

{ ~EL01E }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IIC2. Agility Elf [a.k.a. "Battle Elves", "AE"]

Stats:Str: (Meet the requirements of your equipment)Agi: 1200-1500Vit: 450+Ene: (Don't add any stat points here)

Recommended Weapons:Bows (Arrow Viper Bow/Celestial Bow/Sylphy Wind Bow)Crossbows (Great Reign Crossbow/Saint Crosssbow)

Recommended Armor Set: +7 ~ +13 Red Spirit or Sylphy Wind Set +7 ~ +13 Excellent Divine, Odin Wind or Argo Spirit Set

Notes: Quick attack speed, kicka$$ damage, and excellent long-range combat skills make this Elf another must-have in any guild. The Red Spirit set goes well withthe Arrow Viper Bow, too.

{ ~EL02A }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IIC3. Hybrid Elf

Stats:Str: (Meet the requirements of your equipment)Agi: 600~800Vit: 350+Ene: 800

Recommended Weapons:Bows (Celestial Bow)Crossbows (Saint Crosssbow)

Recommended Armor Set: +7 ~ +13 Divine Set +7 ~ +13 Odin Wind or Argo Spirit Set

Notes: The Hybrid Elf is more or less the most common for elves in MU Philippines but it has a lot of downsides. You can actively buff and heal your partymates, but you compromise your attack ability. If you choose to raise your attack, then your support abilities suffer. If you wish to use the hybrid stat build, then you'll have to decide which downside you want to avoid. You'll still end up with a downside. You have been warned.{ ~EL03H }†_____________________________________________________________________________††_____________________________________________________________________________†

IID. The Magic Gladiators |=-

Magic Gladiators are a crossbreed between Dark Knights and Wizards. He can use the Wizard's magical arsenal, and also utilize the Knight's weaponry. But in spite of his apparent advantages, the MG cannot use all the skills of eithercharacter. To make up for this deficit, he is granted seven stat points per level.

{ ~MG000 }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IID1. Spellcasting Magic Gladiator

Stats:Str: (Meet the requirements of your equipment)Agi: (Meet the requirements of your equipment)Vit: 800+Ene: 800~1500

Recommended Weapons:Staffs

Recommended Armor Set: +7 Legendary Set or +7 Storm Crow, Thunder Hawk or Hurricane Set

Notes: Similar to the Energy Wizard build, this MG has a lot of mana waiting to beexpended and once you start, it's hard to stop this MG from killing

monster mobs in a jiffy. Better to put up a store and say, "Spot Taken!"

{ ~MG01S }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IID2. PK Magic Gladiator

Stats: Str: 1000 Agi: 600 Vit: 743 Ene: 450

Recommended Weapons: +9 ~ +13 Blades (Rune, Dark Reign, Thunder)

Recommended Armor Set: +9 ~ +13 Storm Crow, Hurricane or Thunder Hawk Set +9 ~ +13 Gaion Storm Crow Set +9 ~ +13 Garuda Brass Set [there's no helm required, Hyon Set has]

Notes: Looking closely, you'll notice that most, if not all, PK builds are based on the PK Type Knight. Again it is on the PK Magic Gladiator. You still have to consider your Wizardry damage, therefore the 450 Energy. Oh, that also reflects your skill damage (Knight affinity).

IIE. The Dark Lords|=-

The newest character to enter MU, the Dark Lord has FIVE stat parameters instead of the usual four (Strength, Agility, Vitality, and Energy). The fifth stat is COMMAND, which dictates how many members a DL may hold in a guild at any given time, and also how well he controls his "pets" (the Dark Horse and the Dark Raven).

{ ~DL000 }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IIE1. PK Type Dark Lord

Stats: Str: 1000 Agi: 550 Vit: 1000 Ene: 143 Com: 100

Recommended Weapons: +13 Excellent Lord Scepter

Recommended Armor Set:

Anything up to a +13 Excellent Dark Master Set

Notes: The PK Type Dark Lord is basically a reflection of the PK-Type Knight. You have to sacrifice the (effectively useful) Dark Raven to have greater attack and more hit points, thankfully the Dark Horse doesn't have any other stat requirement aside from levels (a Lv50 Dark Horse requires a DL to be Lv318). Aside from the obvious benefits of the Raven, you also sacrifice the equally powerful Dark Lord attack spell Electric Spark. The only spells you can use would be Fireburst and the starting DL skill Force Wave.

{ ~DL01P }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IIE2. Charisma Type Dark Lord

Stats: Str: 500 Agi: 250 Vit: 700 Ene: 408 Com: 935

Recommended Weapons: Anything up to a +9 Shining Scepter

Recommended Armor Set: +9 ~ +13 Dark Master Set +7 ~ +13 Warrior Leather Set

Notes: If the PK Type Dark Lord has only the Dark Horse, the Command type (also known as the Charisma type) Dark Lord has both the Dark Raven and Dark Horse, and he also has the other spells Summon, Critical Damage, and Electric Spark in his arsenal. Although he has significantly lower hit points than the PK DL,

he makes up for it with his Raven (which has a two full screens-wide area of reach diameter). And need I say that the Electric Spark would be enough to stop your would-be attackers?

{ ~DL02C }**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

IIE3. Vitality Dark Lord

Stats: Str: 500 Agi: 250 Vit: 1400 Ene: 440 Com: 203

Recommended Weapons: +9 ~ +13 Warrior Morning Star +7 ~ +13 Excellent Kris + any blunt weapon [up to +9] Anything up to a +7 Great Lord Scepter

Recommended Armor Set: +9 ~ +13 Warrior Leather Set +9 ~ +13 Dark Master Set

Notes: This is basically a reflection of another Knight build: the Vit Knight. Although the Vitality Dark Lord has no Raven (a major sacrifice for most DLs), or a low-level Raven (maybe a maximum of lvl10), he is vital to castle defense,beside an Energy-type Knight for backup and one Full-Support [Energy] Elf and an Agility Elf for cover. He has probably the largest HP among all character types and builds. But, like the Energy Elf, the low attack power can be a real downright pain in the butt.
