Introduction

Taekwon Ranker class is a really fun class to play, even though I played it for only 2~3 months, I find it a really nice class for WoE, PvP and PvM. Plus, it’s definitely one of the best hunters in the game. But prepare yourself; you will suffer a LOT until you get ranked.

Taekwon Kid

– Fighto fighto!

Job Changing

After getting novice job 10 (Probably on Training Grounds), head to Payon and go to the marked place showed below and talk to Phoenix.

He will tell you to get 1 more base level; do it and come back. Now he will ask 2 questions, the answers are “I face it head on” and “Accept differences and learn from them”. Talk to him again and you will receive a Guard[0] and turn into a Taekwon Kid.

Leveling

Different from most of the other classes, Taekwon Kid is not easy to level at all. Well, maybe until level 60 or so you may find it okay, but after that it becomes a pain in the ass.

First, you should start on Payon Dungeon level 1, just to get like level 15~20. Now you’ll stay a long time at wolves, they are easy and give nice exp. Stay there until like level 55~60, you’ll notice the exp gets really slow. Time to try something harder. You can go High Orcs (west of orc dungeon) with Mild Wind level 2 (Water), preferably bring a buff/heal slave. You will stay here until level 85~90. You could also start your quests once you get level 8x, so you will be ready to get ranked when you reach level 90.

Actually the best way to level a TK Kid is by leeching. :’D They are really fragile, and don’t have too much dps yet. I myself always leech my TKs at Anubis. So yea, do it if you have this choice. <:

Skills

Kicks and Stances

Each kick has a Stance. Once a Stance is enabled, you can use a certain kick. That’s basically how you kick with a TK Kid. I never get more than 1 kick in my build as a normal TK, so I never get confused to which kick I must use when xxx Stance is enabled. But if you choose to get more than 1 kick, you’ll have to pay attention, because your kick will fail if you use the wrong kick for a certain Stance. Example: You can’t use Heel Drop kick with Tornado Stance.

Here is a link to the effect and description for each skill if you are not familiar with them. Otherwise, keep reading.

Tornado Kick

AoE kick in a 5×5 area around you, doing 300% attack.

Roundhouse Kick

Damage its target by 400% attack and also pushes back enemies around you (Don’t damage them though)

Heel Drop Kick

Damages for 300% attack and has a chance of causing Stun status for 3 seconds on the target.

Counter Kick

Damages for 400% and never miss.
Get Counter Kick level 7 and Counter Kick Stance level 1.

Flying Kick

Awesome PvP/WoE skill, it’s a ranged kick which gets you to your opponent’s tile instantly. But the awesomeness of this skill is that it cancels Links, One Handed Quicken, Kaahi, Kaite and Berserk Potion. Arrow also influences on this skill, a Sleep arrow for example has a small chance of leaving the target asleep when you use Flying Kick. Needed for Tumbling.
GetFlying Kick level 7.

Sprint and Spurt Status

Spurt Status is when you use Sprint Skill level 7+ and stop running right after, you’ll receive the Spurt status, which gives you +10 STR for 150 seconds if you are barehanded. Also, each skill level of Sprint increases its user’s barehanded damage by +10
Get Sprint level 10.

Tumbling

Awesome Skill, blocks 20% of any ranged attacks. If you are in Spurt Status, it will block 20% of other attacks as well.
Get Tumbling level 1.

Kihop

Good skill, mainly in WoE where you always have a big party with you. The more members on your party, the more damage you do with your kicks, going up to +10% per Party Member.

Get Kihop level 5.

Leap

You jump:

• Lvl 1 – 5 secs cast – 2 tiles
• Lvl 2 – 4 secs cast – 4 tiles
• Lvl 3 – 3 secs cast – 6 tiles
• Lvl 4 – 2 secs cast – 8 tiles
• Lvl 5 – 1 sec cast – 10 tiles

Don’t need to get it as TK Kid.

Happy Break

Restores your SP by a certain amount when sitting next to another Taekwon class character. Affected by your Max SP and enhanced by a +3SP each level (+30 on level 10) with the /doridori command. Doesn’t work when you are over 50% weight.
Needs it at least level 5 for Mild Wind.

Peaceful Break

Restores your HP by a certain amount when sitting next to another Taekwon Class character. Affected by your VIT and enhanced by a +30HP each level (+300 on level 10) with the /doridori command. Doesn’t work when you are over 50% weight.
Needs it at least level 5 for Mild Wind.

Mild Wind

Enchants your attack with a certain elemental property for 5 minutes. SP Consumption and property by skill level.

• Level 1: Earth – 20sp
• Level 2: Wind – 20sp
• Level 3: Water – 20sp
• Level 4: Fire – 20sp
• Level 5: Ghost – 50sp
• Level 6: Shadow – 50sp
• Level 7: Holy – 50sp

Get Mild Wind level 7.

Until now, with all my skill advices you should be job level 49. The next skill point should be put at Taekwon Mission, so you can start doing your missions.
Remember, getting ranked before level 90 will only give you the ability to spam infinite kicks.

Taekwon Ranker

– The King of kicks

To turn into a Taekwon Ranker, you’ll need to do some missions and earn Rank points. Each mission gives you 1 point, and you can check the Top 10 Ranked TKs by typing /taekwon.

On each mission you will have to kill 100 certain monsters, and you can start a mission by using your skill “Taekwon Mission”. If your mission is a hard monster (Like Frus for example) you have the choice to change to another monster by spamming the skill; you’ll have 1% chance of getting another random mission.

NOTE: You can’t change a mission if you already started one (i.e. killed 1 of the required monster), so be careful when you choose your missions; I myself had a hard time killing 100 Anubises at level 8x. @_@

Advantages of being ranked

• Infinite kicks, meaning you can use ANY kick with ANY stance, and can also use a kick after another, making an infinite combo (If you have fast fingers that is. :}). This advantage can also be achieved under level 90.
• Triple MaxHP/MaxSP. Requires level 90.
• All skills enabled. Yes, meaning you’ll have all the kicks/instances/other skills even if you didn’t use any skill point on them. Requires level 90.

Now that you are a Ranker, it will be way easier to level up. Also, you’ll need to change keyboard every 2 months ): . Nah just kidding. But indeed you will spam a lot of kicks. I suggest you to stop a bit after 2hours or so, your hand will start hurting. Anyway.

Leveling 90~99

Now you’ll have absolutely no problem on Anubis, your flee should be high enough to flee most of their attacks and you have a huge amount of HP. Bring a buff/heal slave and you’ll do fine.

You can also party in Abbey Sanctuary, exp there is really good and the drops are nice also.

Actually TK rankers can adapt to a LOT of places. With an “okay” flee, nice STR and super HP you’ll definitely survive and kill lots of stuff. That lead us to the Stats part.

Stats

• Your main stats are STR, AGI and VIT.
• Secondly comes DEX.
• LUK and INT aren’t needed on this build.

Your stats should be something like this (total with buffs and Spurt status):

• STR: 120~140
• AGI: 60~80 (WoE) 70~100 (PvM)
• VIT: 70~90 (WoE) 50~80 (PvM)
• DEX: 40~60
• Leftovers go in INT/LUK.

Equips

WoE/PvP

• Headgear: Feather Beret or Drooping Alice with Nightmare.
• Armor: Odin’s Blessing(combo with Valis/Vidars)/Glittering Jacket with Marc.
• Shield: Valk Shield with Thara.
• Garment: Vali’s Manteau (combo) or Manteau with Raydric
• Footgear: Vidar’s Boots (combo) or Boots with Green Ferus or Firelock (if +9)
• Upper Headgear: Evil Wing Ears because they are cool. ):
• Accessories: Mantis Rings, Magnum Break ring/rosary/clip/whatever, since you need to hit someone to activate a Stance, magnum helps a lot.

PvM

• Headgear: Magni’s Cap (Combo) or Ulle’s Cap (Combo) or Spiky Band.
• Armor: Odin’s Blessing (Combo), Slotted Pantie (Combo) with Porcellio(?).
• Shield: Stone Buckler (Combo) with a Size Reduction card.
• Garment: Vali’s Manteau (Combo), Slotted Undershirt (Combo) with mhmm Whisper/Raydric?
• Footgear: Vidar’s Boots (Combo), Firelock Boots.
• Upper Headgear: Evil Wing Ears because they are cool. ):
• Accessories: Mantis Rings, Magnum Break ring/rosary/clip/whatever, since you need to hit someone to activate a Stance, magnum helps a lot.

Actually you can play a lot with gears, it’s just some basic information.

War of Emperium

WoE: First Edition

Your main role here is to ANNOY people. Seriously, you will not be able to solo anything else but High Wizards or other stuff with low VIT. You got a nice DPS but it’s easily out potable. No you are not immortal. No you are not an Emp Breaker.

Flying kick is your friend, the main targets are SinX’s and WS’s; they will become way less effective without link/berserk pots, but use it against other classes as well though. Also, use it to get into a Precast line and spam Heel drop + Tornado Kick on it, you won’t just annoy them, but may also kill some wizies.

Leap will help you a damn lot. Since WoE:FE got lots of portals that normal players can’t reach, you can use this to get into the Emperium room in a few seconds.

Your main kicks are:

• 1st- Heel Drop Kick
• 2nd- Counter Kick
• 3rd- Tornado Kick
• 4rd- Roundhouse Kick

Try to spam your kicks moderately. I mean, don’t just hammer your keyboard or something, the best way to get a nice combo is by timing your kicks correctly.
Always be in a party with lots of members, so Kihop will help your damage.

WoE: Second Edition

Same thing as FE but Flying Kick/Leap/Sprint doesn’t work here.

PvP is also the same thing, always Flying Kick your target before starting your combo, in some time you’ll get used to the Flying kick small delay and be able to start your kick combo right after you use it. Leap and Sprint will save your ass lots of time.
Use Magnum Break accessory against high AGI chars, stun/sleep/blind arrow with Flying Kick may help too.

You can also MVP with a TK , including Bio ones (HW and HP are easy for you), of course there are easier/faster ways of doing those, but it’s really fun.
