Grand Khavatari class guide (Orc) — strengths, skills and step-by-step
The Grand Khavatari is the Orc fist fighter: a wall of muscle who charges into the brawl and simply won't fall. Learn how to play it from scratch.
In short: The Grand Khavatari is the Orc master of martial arts — fighting with bare fists, facing the enemy head-on, and boasting one of the largest health pools in the game. It's perfect for anyone who wants a tough melee warrior, easy to understand and nearly impossible to knock down.
Picture a huge fighter, all muscle, who throws his weapon on the ground and says: "I'll handle this with my own hands." That's the Grand Khavatari. Instead of a sword or mace, he uses fists and combat gloves, striking fast and building up force energy with every punch.
Playing a Khavatari is a very direct and satisfying feeling. You rush into the middle of the fight, take hits without flinching thanks to your giant health, and answer back with charged blows that blow the enemy apart. It's the "charge in and hit" class par excellence.

The Grand Khavatari is the end point of a line of pure strength: Orc Fighter (Starter) → Monk (1st Class) → Tyrant (2nd Class) → Grand Khavatari (3rd Class). Each step raises health and punching power, turning the beginner fighter into a true walking wall.
Strengths
- Absurd toughness (CON 47). It's the class's maximum value in this attribute, top among all classes. In practice, this means you can endure a rain of blows that would drop any mage, and you rarely need to flee a fight.
- Huge health (3936 at level 85). It's among the largest in the game. More health means more time farming without dying and more margin for error while you're still learning.
- High strength (STR 40). Your punches hit hard. Since physical damage comes straight from Strength, each enemy falls faster, which greatly speeds up your level farming.
- Excellent physical defense (pDef 80). Your body absorbs enemy blows with ease, reinforcing the front-line role that holds the pressure.
- Self-buffs for the fight. The class carries chants for attack speed, movement and a magic barrier, plus small heals. You depend less on other players and manage on your own during auto-hunt.
Weaknesses
- Almost no magic power (INT 18). It's among the lowest in the game. Don't try to use damage magic; tip: ignore INT and put everything into punching and survival, which is where the class shines.
- Modest speed (130 run). You're not the fastest on the field, so ranged enemies can flee or shoot before you arrive. Tip: keep the movement-speed chant on and prioritize fighting where you can reach the target quickly.
- Very short range (25). Fist fighting requires being glued to the enemy, so archers and mages have the early advantage. Tip: close the gap by running straight in and don't let go of the target until it drops.
- Little ranged control. Without arrows or spells, you need to be in melee to do anything. Tip: in a party, let support handle flying enemies and focus on what's near you.
Class-defining skills
- Power Strike — a strong physical punch; it's your basic "hit harder" attack from early on, great for opening the fight.
- Iron Punch — another direct physical blow; combine it with Power Strike to keep a steady rhythm of hits on the target.
- Force Blaster — a strike that consumes the force energy built up from your punches and releases big damage; save it for the right moment and blow the enemy apart.
- Full Knockdown — a physical blow that knocks the target to the ground; use it to lock down a dangerous enemy and buy time in the fight.
- Chant of Haste — a chant that reduces the time between your attacks, meaning you punch more times per second. Always keep it on.
- Chant of Wind Walk — a chant that increases movement speed, helping make up for your modest run and reach targets.
- Recover HP — a heal over time (health that returns little by little); great to stay on your feet between fights without relying on potions.
- Recover MP — recharges mana over time, ensuring energy to use your special blows without running dry.
- Cripple — a debuff that reduces the enemy's speed; perfect for stopping targets from fleeing you, since your range is short.
Attributes: what to prioritize
The Grand Khavatari is a class of brute force and thick skin, so the focus is clear: hit hard and don't fall. You want to maximize physical damage and survival, and ignore everything magical.
- STR (Strength) — your main source of physical damage; the more, the stronger the punch.
- CON (Constitution) — increases health and resistance; it's what makes the class a wall.
- DEX (Dexterity) — helps with accuracy and crit, making your blows more reliable.
- INT/WIT (Magic) — ignore them; the class doesn't use damage magic.
Recommended gear
Use combat gloves / fists as your weapon, which is the class's natural style. For armor, prefer heavy armor, which fits the tank role and gives more physical defense.
Early on, prioritize raising your weapon's level (more damage = faster farming) and, in parallel, improve your armor to take more hits. Add an attack attribute to your gear as soon as possible, since it boosts your final damage considerably.
Beginner step-by-step
- Create the character. Choose an Orc Fighter — it's the starting point of the line that leads to the Grand Khavatari. Don't worry about final decisions right now.
- Do the first quests in the starting area. They teach the basics, hand out gear, and give the first levels almost for free. Follow the markers on the map.
- Turn on auto-hunt. Auto-hunt makes the character farm on its own against monsters of your level, attacking and using skills automatically. It's the main way to level up in Essence.
- Advance through the professions. Follow Orc Fighter → Monk (1st) → Tyrant (2nd) → Grand Khavatari (3rd). Each change unlocks stronger skills and more health.
- Prioritize the right skills. Always keep the attack-speed and movement chants on, and use the physical blows and the charged Force Blaster in fights.
- Gather Adena and L-Coin. Adena comes from auto-hunt and selling drops; L-Coin is the special shop currency. Save up to buy gear upgrades and consumables.
- Keep weapon and armor updated. As you level up, switch to better gear. A weak weapon stalls your farming, so it comes first.
- Lean into survival. Make the most of your giant health: get close to the enemy, turn on your heals over time, and let auto-hunt run safely.
Where to farm
- Auto-hunt on monsters of your level. It's the foundation of everything: leave the character farming on matching targets to level up safely.
- Move to harder zones as you grow. As you gain health and damage, switch to stronger areas, where experience and drops are better.
- Form a party for raids and bosses. With your huge health, you're excellent on the front line holding the boss while the group deals damage.
- Use the Season Pass and daily missions. They're extra guaranteed rewards every day, great for speeding up progress effortlessly.
Common beginner mistakes
- Trying to fight at range. The class only works glued to the enemy; staying far wastes all your potential.
- Investing in INT or magic. There's no magic damage here; every point spent on magic is punching power thrown away.
- Forgetting to turn on the chants. Without the speed buffs, you hit and move much slower than you could.
- Leaving the weapon behind. Upgrading armor but forgetting the weapon makes farming slow; keep both up to date.
It's for you if…
- You like to charge into the brawl head-on and be the wall that holds the team.
- You prefer a simple and direct class, without much magic micromanagement.
- You enjoy the fantasy of a brutish fist fighter who wins through raw strength and toughness.
