[Fighter] Magnus: Phalanx or Knight? Decide Here and Now!

[SpeedyCat]

These are the two most common Magnus paths, but some people is having a hard time

choosing the best for their play style, so i gathered some info about the most important diferences regarding skills and passives. I hope this mini guide helps someone who (like me) have trouble deciding their paths xD.

Dont forget: It’s important that you pick the one that’s best suited to you.

Phalanx - Defensive Type, have much less attacking power but more physical defense than Knight. Ideal for pure tank.

Invulnerable lv1 - Invulnerable to damage for 8 seconds, but cannot move for the duration.(VERY nice)

Relaxation lv2 - Passive skill that increases hp regen by 12

Troopership L4 - Passive skill that increases physical defense by 9%.

(This skill is bugged. Works even if you're not in a party)

Blessing guard L6 -Self buff that increases the physical defense by 6%

Heavy Armor Expertise lv20 - Passive skill that increases physical defense by 23,28% when using heavy armors

and increases your VIT by 10.

Axe Training lv10 - Passive skill that increases physical attack by 8,11% when using axes.

Mace Training lv10 - Passive skill that increases physical attack by 8,47% when using maces.

Knight - Balanced Type, 5 less levels of HAE than Phalanx, but with a lot more attack power, ideal for grinding and can tank very well.

Divine Justice lv1 - Increases hp regen by 300 for 30 secs. Cooldown 5 min.

Blessing guard L5 - Self buff that increases the physical defense by 5%.

Sword Storm - Sword only AOE skill

Solid Weapon lv2 - Self buff that increases the physical attack power by 15%

Armor Synchro lv1 - Increases movement speed by 10% when using heavy armor

Weapon Synchro lv1 - Increases attack speed by 5%

Heavy Armor Expertise lv15 - Passive skill that increases physical defense by 17,41% when using heavy armors

and increases your VIT by 8.

Axe Training lv15 - Passive skill that increases physical attack by 12,06% when using axes.

Mace Training lv15 - Passive skill that increases physical attack by 12,62% when using maces.

- Source: Ingame descriptions and skillcalc v4.

- I have only listed the most important stuff. If you know any skill that is helpful please let me know.

- You can get Troopership lv2 from Infantryman (increases physical defense by 7%.)

- Magnus have Shield Training lv15, Sword Training lv 20 and Sonic Boom lv25 so no problem here.

- Phalanx also have Holy Strike lv 15 (Infantryman have lv10), but i dont have much info on that skill (int based?).

Please feed with more info or corrections... Sorry about the english, im from Mars!

Does Knight really have Troopership?

Knight not have it... only Infantrymen, Phalanx, and Paladin have that skill
