Miner's Lord Knight Build (Spear Knight) Str Dex Knight

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why create Spear Lord knight?Spear Knights have high HPs and they have a balanced between offensive and defensive path. They might not be a killer like Assassins nor a meatball like Paladin. Knights are more like a combination of both.

Usually Knights works as a frontliner. They are the ones that ride to the combats first. Though Knights are the first to receive damages but with the right equipments, they can take tons of punishments. This way, Mages and others can storm in later to do their jobs.

Personal note: Try not to make Spear Knight as your first character because they need lots of zeny to be strong. Make yourself a second character to support knight’s high consumption of zeny or else you might be broke in no time

________________________________
Spiral Pierce
________________________________
Extend your spear, and spin it in a spiral fashion to increase overall damage and ability to pierce. A more powerful version of Pierce which ignores DEF and VIT DEF and also stun-locks your opponent for 3 sec. Damage is 100%+50*SkillLV% ATK. The attack is 5 hits with the damage divided evenly between the hits. However you can increase damage further by increasing the weight of your weapon (upgrades count too! LV 1 weapons +10/upgrade, LV 2 weapons +15/upgrade, LV 3 weapons +25/upgrade). Although damage will increase with better skill level, so will the Cast Time / Cool Down. Aura Blade does not add damage to this skill. Recent tests revealed the following (rather complex) formula: [(80% of weapons weight times (100%+level*50%) + (round.down(STR/10^2) + Upgrade Damage) * size modifier (small 125%, medium 100%, large 75%)) * card factors (+20% and such) * element factors ]* 5 hits

Requirements: Spear Mastery Level 10, Pierce Level 5, Spear Stab Level 5, Riding Level 1
Skill points max: 5
Comment: I get 5. It’s a very good skill if you have heavy spears such as Pole Axe or Hunting Spear.

In Short about whatever that its said above is the damage is affected by STR, ATK, Spear Weight, Size and almost anything

Personal Recommendation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we are at Knight before reborn, I recommend that you first become an 2 handed Sword agility knight. This is because it would be easier to level.

With high ASPD and Big Strength, Agility knights could kill faster and with their dodging, Agi Knights could kill mobs of higher levels.

To be honest I was also an Agi Knight. Agi Knights is a good stepping stone before reborn. I will be writing about agi knights soon so just stay tuned.
