In short: The Palus Knight is a fast, aggressive Dark Elf melee fighter who hits hard and even carries support buffs. It is the perfect class for anyone who wants to charge straight into the fight and feel the weight of every blow.

Picture an agile fighter of the shadows: ashen skin, quick movements, and a huge hunger for battle. That is the Palus Knight. He does not wait around — he runs to the enemy and unleashes damage with both hands.

Even though he is a knight, he is not that slow, heavy tank. The Palus Knight trades a bit of toughness for speed and mobility, which makes his gameplay dynamic and exciting right from the early levels.

Overview

Profile
Race	Dark Elf
Archetype	Melee combat
Playstyle	Aggressive and fast
Difficulty	Easy
Main weapon	Fists / blades
Position in the line	1st Class

The Palus Knight is part of the Dark Elf warrior line, following the path Dark Fighter (Starter) → Palus Knight (1st Class). In other words, he is your first big step after the starter phase, when your character is still learning to stand on his own two feet.

Strengths

Absurd strength (STR 41). This is the class's highest stat and ranks among the best in the game. In practice, every physical blow hurts a lot, and you clear groups of monsters very quickly.
High movement speed (139). The Palus Knight is one of the fastest. You catch enemies who flee, escape danger, and farm more areas in less time.
Good dexterity (DEX 34). DEX increases your critical hit chance and accuracy. Translation: more on-target hits and more of those extra-strong strikes that tear a chunk out of the monster's health.
Self support buffs. Unlike a pure warrior, he learns several buffs (attack speed, defense, defensive magic). This makes you more self-sufficient, without depending so much on other players.
Slow self heal and recharge. He has abilities that restore health and mana little by little. In long farms, this cuts down on rest breaks and keeps you hunting longer.

Weaknesses

Very low mana (975 at level 85). It is one of the smallest values in the game. Since the character uses skills often, mana runs out fast — always carry mana potions and use the self recharge.
Modest health (3333 at level 85). He is not a real tank, so he takes less punishment than tougher classes. Avoid pulling too many monsters at once and prioritize defensive armor.
Relies on getting close. Being melee, he needs to be glued to the enemy. Against ranged monsters, use the high speed to close the gap quickly.
The mix of roles can confuse at first. He has attack skills, buffs, and even defensive magic. The tip is to focus on the damage basics first and add the buffs over time.

Class-defining skills

Power Strike — a strong physical blow (PDAM = direct physical attack). This is your heavy everyday attack, great for opening a fight with guaranteed damage.
Mortal Blow — a precise strike (BLOW = physical hit with a chance of huge damage). Use it when you want to tear a big chunk out of the enemy's health in one go.
Power Shot — another physical attack (PDAM) that rounds out your damage rotation, giving you more options to keep the pressure on the target.
Haste — a buff that speeds up your attacks (attack_time_down). More hits per second means more total damage; keep it active while farming.
Wind Walk — a movement speed buff (speed_up). It makes you even faster to reach enemies and move between hunts.
Ultimate Defense — a powerful defensive buff (pd_up_special). Turn it on when you are taking heavy damage or facing a dangerous enemy to hold your health bar.
Majesty — a buff that reinforces your presence in combat, useful in tense situations to keep a defensive stance.
Recover HP — a slow heal that gives back health bit by bit (dot_heal). Turn it on during long farms to save potions.
Recover MP — recharges mana bit by bit (dot_recharge). Since your mana is short, this ability is a lifesaver for keeping your skills going.
Magic Barrier — a buff that raises your magic defense (md_up). Essential against monsters and bosses that use magic.

Stats: what to prioritize

The Palus Knight is a physical damage machine, so his base is already built to hit hard. You will want to reinforce what he already does best and cover his natural weaknesses.

STR (strength) — your number one priority; it directly increases the physical damage of every blow.
CON (constitution) — improves health and survival, helping to make up for the class's modest health.
DEX (dexterity) — raises critical chance and accuracy, making your attacks land more often and harder.
MEN (mentality) — gives a bit more mana, softening the Palus Knight's biggest weak point.

Recommended gear

Since the class weapon is fists/blades, focus on equipping the best melee weapon you can get for each level range. The weapon is what multiplies your damage the most, so it is always your number one upgrade priority.

For armor, prefer light armor, which matches the class's agile, fast style — it protects well without slowing you down. Upgrade the weapon first, then the armor, and the accessories last. Keep everything at the level of the zone where you are hunting.

Step by step for beginners

Create the character. Choose the Dark Elf race and follow the Dark Fighter line. That is the Palus Knight's starting point.
Do the first quests in the starting area. They teach the basics, give you starter gear, and a quick push in levels to start off on the right foot.
Turn on auto-hunt. With it on, your character farms monsters of your level on its own, gaining experience and items without you controlling every blow. It is the most practical way to level up.
Follow the professions in order. You go from Starter to 1st Class (Palus Knight) and, later on, to the 2nd and 3rd. Each change unlocks new skills and more power — do not skip these transitions.
Prioritize damage skills and the right buffs. Start by focusing on Power Strike and Mortal Blow for damage, and turn on Haste and Wind Walk for speed. The defensive buffs come in when you face tougher enemies.
Gather Adena and L-Coin. Auto-hunt accumulates Adena over time, and L-Coin comes from missions and the server system. Use these currencies to buy potions, weapons, and better armor.
Keep your weapon and armor always updated. Whenever you climb a level range, switch to the strongest gear you can. Old equipment stalls your progress and slows your farming.

Where to farm

Auto-hunt on monsters of your level. Leave your character hunting enemies that match your strength — it is the safest and most efficient way to grow.
Move to harder zones as you level up. As you get stronger, look for areas with tougher monsters that give more experience and better rewards.
Form a party for raids and bosses. Big enemies call for help; in a group you can take down bosses that would be impossible alone and earn rare items.
Use the Season Pass and daily missions. They give steady extra rewards and speed up your progress considerably.

Common beginner mistakes

Ignoring mana. Since the Palus Knight has little mana, forgetting potions and recharge leaves you without skills mid-fight. Always keep your supply stocked.
Pulling too many monsters at once. The class's health is modest; gathering too many enemies can kill you fast. Take it slow and respect your limits.
Letting the weapon fall behind. Without swapping weapons, your damage stalls and farming gets slow. Always prioritize the weapon upgrade.
Forgetting to activate buffs. Entering a fight without Haste and Wind Walk wastes a big part of the class's potential.

This class is for you if…

You like charging in. The Palus Knight is aggressive and rewards those who jump straight into the brawl.
You enjoy speed and mobility. The class's high speed makes every hunt more dynamic and fun.
You want a warrior that is simple to learn. The kit is straightforward: hit hard, use your buffs, and keep farming.
