A brief overview of which slayer to play, what the advantages are for each slayer class and why one class is worth playing over the other.

Headstart for Slayers

DarkEden Slayer One of the longest running MMORPGs out there is SoftOn Entertainment’s highly unique vampire hunting game, DarkEden Online. Despite its three-quarter view and simple mouse-controlled gameplay the game still poses to be complicated and sometimes difficult game for newbies to play. This is especially due to the complexity of the multiple player classes and highly diversified weapon and skill systems. So, to help out Slayers and give them a good starting point here is a brief beginner’s guide for playing DarkEden Online.

When starting off the game is rather straight forward: pick your race, pick a name, pick your gender and pick a picture. It’s really that simple. Now, unlike a lot of other games you can’t choose your skill set or class at the beginning of the game. Instead, you can re-roll your starting stats to best suit what kind of Slayer class you plan to become. The game uses a unique free-form leveling system that allows players to level up any class they see fit simply by using the appropriate weapon. So it’s important to know what stats you need when you’re starting off to get a good foothold for leveling.

All About The Stats

These three main attributes designate how a player will level what class they will be most proficient in. For Enchanters and Priest (also known as Healers) it’s important to have a lot of intelligence (from now on it will be referred to as INT) in order to use more healing/buffing skills, stronger crosses/maces and deal more magic damage. Strength (which will be referred to as STR from here forward) determines a character’s HP (health points) and their protection (how much damage is deflected from an attack). STR is essential for Bladers and Sworders who rely on taking a lot of damage and dealing a lot of damage. STR also affects how much physical damage a character can deal. Dexterity (which will be referred to as DEX from here forward) is used for amping up a character’s defense (which allows characters to dodge attacks) and raises a character’s ability to hit enemies (known as ToHit). DEX is essential for the Gunner class because they rely on it to rapidly shoot (or snipe) enemies as well as keep a distance and dodge attacks.
