Dragon's Guide To Weapon Masters

Welcome to Dragon's guide to weapons masters. In this guide I will give you a detail explanation on each skill with each weapon, build suggestions, and anything I can think of that will help you become a decent weapon master (from now on will be abbreviate as WM). A little insight on me. Been playing WM since the release pf DFO (Dungeon Fighter Online) till my unjust ban (long story). Then switched over to DnF ( Dungeon and Fighter. Basically the Korean version of DFO. Just further along in updates.) where I've been till this day. Now enough with that and on to the damn guide.


Side Note: I will For DnF only. Since eventually DFO will get what Dnf gets soon. (Hopefully soon anyways.)


Before we start let me give you my Pros/Cons on becoming WM.

Pros:
Fastest class out of all the sub-classes
Best DPS (damage per second) Of all the sub-classes
Decent PvP (Player vs. Player) class
Great solo class

Cons:
Needs a +12/13 weapon to be really effective
No effective use in parties (Otherverse Dungeons)
Needs a lot of money investment
Poor weapon durability



As the name suggests, It an upward slash of your sword. Provides little super armor and movement. The more you level this skill the more power and launch power it gains. Keep this at level 5. There's No need to max this seeing as the sp (skill points) can be put to use in better places. You can max this if you so desire and it will not hinder you in any way.


Basically another Thrust after your dash attack. Hold the opposite direction of the way you are thrusting to stay stationary. Hold forward to move forward with the skill. Has some nice push back. You need this at level 5 to learn Clash (stance skill).


Holds sword up like a shield. Protecting you from damage. As long as Skill is held you'll stay in guard stance. The more you level this skill the more damage it protects you from. This skill is absolutely great. Reducing damage by 80% at max. Learn how to use this skill effectively and you'll pretty much rape anything that moves (especially in pvp). MAX THIS SKILL. IT CAN.... NO IT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE. 'nuff said.

Zanbato Users: At level 5 Zanbato mastery, A successful guard shocks enemies.

Short Sword Users: At level 5 SS mastery, A successful guard shocks enemies.


While airborne, drives your weapon into the ground. At a certain height, you'll create a shock-wave upon landing. The more you level the skill the bigger the shock-wave gets. Another great launcher move in your WM arsenal. Good for combo starting. If your going the zanbato, SS, or bludgeon then you want to max this since this is another primary launcher. Light-saber (LS) and katana users want to put this at 10.

Zanbato Users : At level 3 zanbato mastery, Ashe Forke get multiple hits and grants super armor.


Dashes forward while attacking. Only moves on the x-axis. Input the skill again for more slashes (up to three times). The more you level the skill the power it receives and launching power (LS and Katana) Great skill with a a lot of utility. It can be used for escaping, approaching, flat-out damage, and launching (LS and katana only). For zanbato, SS, and bludgeon user you want to put this at 10 for cancel and EX passive. LS and katana user want to max this. MAX IT I SAY...

LS users: At level 5 LS mastery, Triple Slash becomes Quintuple Slash gaining two extra attacks and the last attack launches opponents.

Katana users: At level 5 Katana Mastery, Triple Slash becomes Quintuple Slash gaining two extra attack and the last attack launches opponent in air.



Grants an additional normal attack while in air. Can string up to two or 3 attack with a normal jump. Decent combo juggler if used properly. This skill is needed for awakening if you plan to get it.
