Melee Skill Guide

Melee skills:
Hello young swordsman, so if you going to findout what is it to me a melee in NSO u came to right place.
As you may know from the name melee is based on STR stat. Building up your ATK at early levels of game is a significant matter cause availability of 1 hit kill mobs at almost fully rely on your damage. For that moment your pet is quite rookie to do assist you anyhow good. (As it was said before SPD to outspeed mobs is easy to get with very simple and cheap SPD clothes.)
One common note of melee's chars: they aren't that good as in WLO. Yes, they getting a bit addition (in case of damage) with last ATK skills but don't have any good ranged attacks. So this way you have to cover a distance between you and foes with your own movement and perform attack just behind their face. That fact brings 2 more matters which you have to consider.

• Good moment range (good SPD and maxed SPEED PASSIVE 1 skill) and preferable be a FIRE element so u can learn HASTE skill.
  
• Good HP (read as CON). Cause you have to sustain more damage on yourself while wading into crowds of enemies. At this time mages are simply can stay out of foes attack range or sealing range.
  

Though this solution don't guarantee fully safety for mages too. Based on my experience melee chars becoming useful from the moment when they are maxed DRAGON CHOP (v.2) skill.
WATER element has absolutely same ATK skills with a bit changes in name (to ICE) and color of effects.

Example: FIRE element skill list

Space Cannon:

Space cannon is one of 2 first skills for melee. It has best range of ATK for melees but most weakest in case of damage. Skill separated into 3. Each has bit greater damage than previous and consumes more SP (11 SP, 19 SP, 29 SP). Max grade for each is 10. All of them can be trained at same place where did you get it without additional battles.

.
Brunt of Wings:

Second skill is so similar to Hagengis (from WLO) but actually not efficient at all since AOE just 4 squares in range. Skill separated into 3. Each has bit greater damage than previous and consumes more SP (10 SP, 17 SP, 26 SP). Max grade for each is 10. All of them can be trained at same place where did you get it without additional battles.






Frenzy:

This is third skill which you can learn only after you maxed out two melee skills before. When Frenzy got maxed, it provides bit less range than Space Cannon and also smaller AOE which is cross-shaped. Damage from it is a bit higher than the skills before. Skill separated into 3. Each has bit greater damage than previous, consumes more SP (16 SP, 25 SP, 36 SP) and more grades to max it (12, 16, 20). All of them can be trained at same place where did you get it without additional battles.


Dragon Chop [v1]:

Now some serious skills coming out. You have to had Frenzy maxed and be LV40 or above to train Dragon Chop. First version of this skill (v1) has quite tiny AOE around char and it won't rise at max grade. Fire's version is called Fire Dragon Chop, Water's - Ice Dragon Chop with same AOE. Max grade is 10 and skill consumes 60 SP to perform.


Dragon Chop [v2]:

Best chopping around comes when Dragon Chop (v2) is maxed. Once you finished training Dragon Chop (v1) and your character reached LV60, you are ready to get next Dragon Chop. Second version of this skill (v2) has 2x higher AOE around char once skill is at max grade. Same as first, Fire's version is called Fire Dragon Chop, Water's - Ice Dragon Chop with same AOE. Max grade is 12 and skill consumes 90 SP to perform.


Firen Slash / Frozen Slash [Final]:

The apogee of melee skills, God Slash. It becomes available when you reached LV70 and maxed out Dragon Chop [v2]. Once maxed it AOE enlarges 2x higher. Unfortunatelly it has very close range too. Usage summons fire or ice dragon to attack. Fire's version is called Firen Slash, Water's - Frozen Slash with same AOE. Max grade is 12 and skill consumes 100 SP to perform
