Shillien Knight (Shillien Knight) — the second class of the dark elf fighter, from level 40 to 76. From level 76, the third class Shillien Templar. The whole path: Palus Knight (20–40) → Shillien Knight (40–76) → Shillien Templar (76+).

This is a tank: his job is to hold monsters and enemies on himself. Aggression is drawn with Aggression (28) (lv. 24), Aura of Hate (18) and Shield Strike (984) (lv. 40); protection comes from Ultimate Defense (110), Guard Stance (288) and the shield. What sets the dark knight apart is dark magic and cubics: Drain Health (70) and Life Leech (289) restore health through damage, Summon Vampiric Cubic (22) absorbs the enemy's HP and heals its master, and from level 43 Cubic Mastery (143) lets you keep two cubics at once.

Getting the classes

How to play

Below are combinations that follow directly from the skill descriptions in the game.

Holding attentionAggression (28) increases the enemy's desire to attack you; Aura of Hate (18) (lv. 40) forces several enemies to attack at once. Shield Strike (984) (lv. 40) strikes with the shield and also increases aggression — in High Five Part 3 it got a hate effect. From level 77, Vengeance (368) sharply increases the aggression of nearby monsters and gives a huge defense boost, but you can't move while it's active.
Protection
DefenseUltimate Defense (110) gives a huge boost to P. Def. and M. Def. for 30 seconds but immobilizes you. The toggles Guard Stance (288) (lv. 43) and Shield Fortress (322) (lv. 64) strengthen shield defense, Aegis (316) (lv. 60) lets you block attacks from all directions with the shield, and Final Fortress (291) (lv. 52) raises P. Def. by itself when HP drops below 30%.
CubicsSummon Phantom Cubic (33) (lv. 40) lowers the enemy's P. Atk., P. Def. and Atk. Spd.; Summon Vampiric Cubic (22) (lv. 43) absorbs the enemy's HP and heals its master; Summon Viper Cubic (278) (lv. 49) poisons. Cubic Mastery (143) lets you keep two cubics at once. From level 80, Summon Smart Cubic (780) removes all debuffs from its master.
Dark magicDrain Health (70) and Life Leech (289) deal damage and restore HP — Drain Health converts HP 80% of the damage. Hex (122) lowers the enemy's P. Def. by 23%. Judgment (401) (lv. 55) deals dark magic damage and forces the enemy to attack you, reducing its critical damage by 25%. Lightning Strike (279) (lv. 58) slows the target and then paralyzes it for 10 seconds.
ControlArrest (402) (lv. 55) provokes the enemy and holds it in place for 10 seconds; Confusion (2) makes the enemy switch its attack target; Shield Bash (352) (lv. 77) stuns for 2 seconds and drops the target.
Party supportCombat Aura (982) (lv. 52) increases the party's P. Atk. and Atk. Spd. by 3%. Shield of Faith (528) (lv. 79) gives the party a huge defense boost for 15 seconds and takes 90% of their damage; Spirit of Shilen (789) (lv. 83) increases the party's P. Atk., Speed and Atk. Spd. by 30%. Vanguard (813) (lv. 40) is a transformation for rushing into the thick of battle with dual swords; shield defense drops by 50% while it's active.
