What character to play?

[HippedGorilla]

I just got the game and i was wondering what everyone finds to be the most fun class.

[Star Dream]

Elswords and Ravens are typically the most beginner friendly, and also the most OP'd. Opinions are going to vary though, I honestly can't stand playing those two and the only character I find fun is Aisha (who is not beginner friendly compared to the rest of the roster)

[Snazman]

well from what i noticed from playing(30+ something hours) ppl choose elsword,raven,chung alot and theres a low count of aisha,rena(ranger chick)and Eve for me i choose Eve since it takes more skill to use her compared to the most common characters and shes more badass to me lol

[Evol]

I agree with the other comments, Elsword and Ravens are the more often picked due to the fact that they are beginner friendly. I actually started with a Rena, and after months of playing and trying other characters, I've only recently started playing an Elsword (I tried Sheath Knight, and it was actually very fun) but I would say that my favorite to play is Aisha. I've found all her classes fun, which is not something I can say for any other character.

[deroyl]

Agreed. If you're just starting out, Elsword and Raven are the best to introduce you to the game. After you get used to the game it can be fun to play as other characters. I started with Elsword and the played as Eve and found it to be an interesting change.

I chose a Rena as my first char, and even went as far as to make her a Wind Sneaker. To this day, I still don't know how to play her right, but the challenge she gives me keeps me from discarding her. I would agree that about Elsword/Raven, and technically, could call Eve as the most 'difficult'. Chung likes to throw his weight around (literally), and Aisha/Rena are such skill junkies. These are just my opinions, and I'm sure many would disagree.

Whichever you chose, you'll still get an interesting experience. ^_^

I really like Aisha

[SnackM8]

When i joined the game only Elsword, Aisha, and Rena was out. Raven didnt had his 2nd job change, just Overtaker and Sword Taker. I picked aisha cause she was a mage.

Then when chung came out i picked Fury Gardian and then when Iron Paladen came that was my fav character. Slowish like a turtle but Destruction and durability as a Bear. True Gardian.

So far, i've only done Elsword - Lord Knight. New-ish at it so i'm learning still. Fun to play. But agreed as Raven and Elsword are beginner friendly. I wouldn't say Op'd as Aisha or Rena, if they work in range and keep their distance could take out any Raven or Elsword.

But the best is all on you.

Well, I'm not 100% sure if I agree with Raven and Elsword being player friendly(though, they do get some pretty OP power...if used right anyway. Most don't :U). I think what they're trying to get at is that they're the most easy to combo with. Or at least, combo loop. You need to avoid knocking down enemies later on so you need to learn how to avoid using attacks that knock an enemy down.

Which ironically, Eve tends to be the easiest in this regard. Pressing ZZZX(you'll see when you play ouo; ) is the easiest loop in the game, next Elsword's Lord Knight Class just having you hold forward as you press Z over and over.

To say the least, I really just wouldn't suggest Rena or Chung, because one is kind of hard to combo with and the other is just slow. I would say Eve or Aisha tend to be the better choices, ironically, because comboing with them is actually pretty easy compared to others, especially Aisha. You only need to learn how to pause for milliseconds after shooting two fireballs to combo, and you can do this at base! Eve is probably the best for learning how to combo, since she has all the technics other classes use to combo.

Their skills also help make up for any difficulty you have getting used to the game, especially Aisha being able to mana charge.

If those two don't fit your fancy, I would suggest Raven then only. Elsword is a bit too clunky to get used to when you're new, and his special abilities are easier to handle.

[Star Dream]

Eve's mobility is different from other characters though, and is a bit tricky to use. She's technically the fastest of all the characters on top of variable mobility, but melee (Elsword/Raven/Chung) still have one of the best mobility types on top of it being fairly simple. Her overall combos aren't that great either. It's simple to execute, but it's not practical for damage or prolonged combos. Elsword/Raven has both.

If we're talking about skills, then typically melee have the fastest rate of mana gain from comboing (especially LK), and THOSE skills are typically among the strongest in the game. Sure Aisha and Rena have mana charging but it's terribly slow to comboing normally, and I honestly don't want an Aisha/Rena on my party that doesn't do anything except charge and skill.

[AshDaHero]

i would go for the Raven class just because their combos are a lot easier to learn (thats mu opinion) but if your really stuck on what to pick i would make a test character for each class then pick the one you like the most. im a Raven by the way XD

[R7_Zenny]

All of the classes are really fun to play once you find their weaknesses and strengths to build on.....
Im somewhat of a Elsword Expert and I reccomend doing SheathKnight to Infinity Sword first before the first 3.... dude 2 swords = spam = troll fun = fastest of all 3... the down fall to him is he will die REALLY Quickly and youll do low damage so get good equipment

SwordKnight/LordKnight is the Power subclass of all 3..... prettyy simple combos but gets boring really really fast... I mean just zzz Armor break xxxx sonicblade loop is just really boring once you actually use it

MagicKnight/Runeslayer would be the most challenging of all 3 because youll need to be training with those dash runes... he does the least hit in total but Runeslayer is Debated to be the best of all 3 elsword in the long run with PVP..... JUST BE EVERYWHERE AND YOULL BE FINE

I have two Eves. One is Code Electra, other is Code Exotic. I find them the most fun, so far. Then again, I like casters and robots, so this barks RIGHT up my tree. As Eve, I typically MVP all the Very Hard dungeons I encounter. Code Electra is supra-easy to slay many with, anyway. I feel like I'm rambling, so:
tl;dr Eve is fun.

[SeraviSays]

I have a Code Exotic Eve and Shooting Guardian Chung. I'm really torn between making my third a Code Electra Eve or Trapping Ranger Rena. Alas, if only there was just one more free character slot :(

Raven and Elsword (or Elboy as some people call him, including me) CAN be easy to use, if used RIGHT.
For example, if you become a WT (Weapon Taker) Raven, yes he is powerful, BUT he drains health when used to much. Now im not saying dont drain health, you will get an attack boost from it. but there are people who spam the X combo. Yes, it stun locks your oppenent (if they arnt a boss) until the attack ends, yes it drains your health, but in puts you into super armour state, in which you cant flinch (not be able to do anything) or be knocked down, BUT YOU CAN STILL GET DAMAGE ALONG WITH THE HEALTH DRAIN. And once again, not saying dont use it, but be smart about WHEN to use it. I use a WT my self, and it can be hard to use, especially after a period of no use. But dont over spam something and call your self 'skilled' people WILL rage at you. And be wary of those who just say you spammed something. Someone i faught in PvP said i spammed a skill when i only used it twice. Not my fault he was standing still and not moving.
Elsword is eays to use, but lets be honest, only after either hours of practice or as a secondary character. Sheath Knight is made for combos that dont knock your opponent down. in fact, personally, i think all the new classes, spare a few, are MADE to combo for you. but im talking about elboy right now. Magic Knight i dont know a whole lot about, seeing as people rarely PvP as a magic knight. Rune Slayers though, are very quick to learn, but can take some time to master due to timings and how long something lasts. Sword Knight, once again, people dont really PvP with, so i dont have much to tell. Lord Knight? they can spam the same combo over and over again. they can also add a roll-ish movement (ill just call it spin) to the combo to make it become something like this : spin zzz armour break xxxx spin sonic blade. spam that over and over again and you will most likely win. but i wouldn't suggest it. if that is all you use to win, people will notice and start hating for very good reasons. Not because they cant get the rank you have, but because its all you did to get that rank. It is noticable by the way that you need the skills to cooldown before useing that combo again. There are people who will literally go and: combo, run, wait for mp to recharge, combo, run, wait for mp to recharge: again and again. Dont be like that.
As for what this has said, obviously it says not matter the class you play, spamming IS a tatic in PvP, but it is NOT a good one. It also says each class does actually have the ability to be 'player friendly' but only if used the right way.

oh, and to DW (dimension witch) doing nothing but impact hammer is NOT cool. Is it illegal? No, sadly it isnt. Does it piss overy body off? BEOND COMPARE! Now i understand most combos for DW need you to be right there, there is even a skill note for IH called wormhole, which draws players towards IH (yeah, thanks devs) but IH, quick combo, run and mana chage, then repeating that, IS WORSE THAN LK. ShK can combo, but does not have a lot of chances to. the only one i know so far that is at least a slight combo is zzz>>zz and that is spammed to death. even by IS. can't wait till NW so we can have even MORE issues like this.

And to new people or people who dont know the abbreaviations used,
IH= impact hammer
LK= Lord Knight
ShK=Sheath Knight
IS= Infinity Sword
if i missed any, just ask others what they are, and i left out the ones i stated, which was WT and DW i believe.
