Warriors use brute strength to take down foes. Of all the classes, Warriors are the only class that fight melee during their first and second jobs. They are easily the most powerful melee attackers in later levels.
Warriors possess the most HP and the greatest defense in the game due to their powerful armor. Coupled with their high attack, warriors become very powerful.
Their greatest weakness is their horrible accuracy. While Bowmen can hit boss monsters 40+ levels above them, Warriors will have trouble hitting foes the same level as them unless they sacrifice their strength for dexterity or scroll their equipment to provide additional accuracy. For example, a level 25 crossbowman could hit an Iron Hog at pig beach despite it being 17 levels higher. However there's a possibility of the monster having very high avoidbility, thus making it harder to get a decent damage. Usually when you accuracy and level isn't enough to match the level and avoidbility of the monster, either you get miss, or 1 damage.
Their poor mobility also causes training difficulties in terms of speed. Warriors usually use upgrade scrolls to add speed to their equipment so that they can move faster, increasing their training rate as a result.
Warriors have the choice of becoming either Spearmen, Pages, or Fighters at level 30.
Abilities such as Dragon Roar (which is a ranged attack with an AOE, or Area of Effect) can be learned by Dragon Knights in the third job, as well as
Elemental Charges for Knights and Combo Attacks for Crusaders.
