    0. Intro
    #########################

    With the massive strength and powerful physique, Dawn Warriors vanquish the enemy in close proximity. They are accompanied by Soul, the spirit of light, especially in combat. Only those equipped with a burning heart, sharp eyes, an even sharper blade, and undying loyalty to the empress are qualified to become a Dawn Warrior.

    1. About dawn warriors
    #########################

    this is just a little information about dawn warriors

    You need a level 20+ to start a dawn warrior. Dawn warriors get all their powers and job advancements at Eevre.
    A dawn warrior is the warrior class for the Cygnus knights (KoC), it has some normal warrior powers and some new powers.
    At level 30 you do not get to choose a new job but you do get a job advancement and more powers
    This is the same at level 70. You can get the skill brandish at level 100. You can get Advanced combo attack at level 110. The level max is 120. KoC get a mount at level 50, it costs 10 mill.

    Pros:
    Higher DPM than a normal warrior
    Highest DPM at level 120 out of any KoC class
    Lots of mob skills for fast leveling
    You get 6 AP a level until level 70 when you get 5 AP per level like normal

    Cons:
    120 level cap
    Do not get to choose a level 30 job


    #########################
    2. AP settings
    #########################

    The are 4 main AP settings for a dawn warrior: Dexless, Low Dex, Normal Dex, and High Dex.

    Dexless:
    Put all AP on Str, leave your Dex at 4.
    You will need a lot of money (about 50 mill although you can do it with any amount, it will just be harder) to make a good dexless Dawn Warrior.
    All your money will be spent on equips that give accuracy.

    Low Dex:
    Each level put 2 points on Dex until level 20-25
    your Dex should by capped at 40-50
    You will need decent funding (about 10 mill, you can do it with none)
    Money will be spent on equips that give you accuracy.

    Normal Dex:
    Each level put 2 points on Dex until level 30
    your Dex should by capped at around 60
    You will need little or no funding
    Money will be spent on equips that give you accuracy or attack

    High Dex:
    Each level put 2 points on Dex until level 40-50
    your Dex should by capped at around 80-100
    You will need no funding
    Money will be spent on equips that give you attack

    #########################
    3. 1st job skill build
    #########################

    Grats on level 10.
    At level 10 head on over to Eevre and talk to Neinheart and mehile

    So now your a dawn warrior. well here is the build I have made after hours of asking pros, looking at guides, and watching movies (last part just for fun, but they were dawn warrior movies!)
    M=maxed +# is put # SP on this skill

    10-13 Improving Max HP Increase M
    14-15 Power Strike +5; Soul +1
    16-19 Slash Blast +12
    20-22 Power Strike +9
    23-25 Slash Blast M; Power Strike +1
    26-27 Power Strike M; Soul +1
    28-30 Soul +9

    End result:
    Improving max HP increase 10 (M)
    iron body 0
    Power Strike 20 (M)
    Slash Blast 20 (M)
    Sprite summon 11

    If you want you can put the points from soul on to Iron Body, both powers don't end up helping much. I just like summons :D

    #########################
    4. 2nd job skill build
    #########################

    Grats on 30! Getting harder?
    So now I suppose you want the 2nd job skill build, right? Thought so.
    remember! At level 50 you can get the KoC mount for 10 mill, just go back to Eevre at level 50.

    Well here's build 1
    30 soul runner +1
    31-37 sword mastery M; soul blade +1
    38-47 soul blade M; rage +1
    48-50 sword booster +6
    51-57 rage M; sword booster +2
    58-60 soul runner M
    61-63 sword booster M
    64-70 final attack +21

    and then we have build 2.
    30-37 Soul runner +1; soul blade +21
    38-39 sword mastery +6
    40-43 sword booster +12
    44-46 soul blade M
    47-50 rage +11; soul runner +1
    51-53 rage +8 final attack +1
    54-56 soul runner M; sword mastery +1
    57-60 sword mastery +12
    61-63 Final attack +8; sword mastery M
    64-70 final attack +M

    build 1 should end with: (note: next update will change build 2!!!)
    Sword mastery 20 (M)
    Sword Booster 20 (M)
    Final attack 21
    Rage 20 (M)
    Soul Blade 30 (M)
    Soul runner 10 (M)

    you get final attack last because it doesn't really help until level 100 when you get brandish.

    #########################
    5. 3rd job skill build
    #########################

    Wow! level 70. good job. Did you get the mount?
    remember! You must get brandish and advansed combo attack brandish is at level 100, go to evree and talk to neinheart. Note: you will need to kill a (random) boss equal (or neer) to your level. Advanced combo attack is at 110, you have to do the same thing.

    Here's the 3rd job build #1, only recomended for undead training (good since himes is at level 9x-120, and black kents and elderwraiths are sooner)
    70-77 soul driver +21; soul charge +1
    78-84 soul charge M; soul driver +2
    85-87 soul driver M; combo attack +2
    88-90 combo attack +9
    91-100 save 30 SP and max brandish at level 100
    101-103 combo attack M
    104-110 save 20 SP and max advanced combo attack at level 110; final attack +1
    111-113 final attack M; 1 SP left over.
    The 1 left over SP and all the SP from level 114-120 can be spent on anything, it doesn't really matter.

    And build #2, I recomend this one.
    70-80 soul driver M; soul charge +1
    81-87 soul charge M; combo attack +2
    88-90 combo attack +9
    91-100 save 30 SP and max brandish at 100
    101-103 final attack M
    104-110 save 20 SP and max advanced combo attack at level 110. The rest of the SP can be spent on anything.


    You should end with
    Final attack 30 (M)
    Improving max MP recovery 0
    combo attack 20 (M)
    Panic 0
    Coma 0
    Brandish 30 (M)
    Advanced combo attack 20 (M)
    Soul Driver 30 (M)
    Soul charge 20 (M)

    7.Q and A
    #########################

    This is the Q and A section of my guide
    If you have a good question about dawn warriors, tell me (e-mail: [email protected]) and I'll answer it the best I can.

    Q: how does final attack effect brandish?
    A: Final attack does work with brandish! It increases the DPM by a fair amount. movie of final attack with brandish

    Q: when do dawn warriors start getting acc? (from Al0haKnight)
    A: I've heard that you need a certain acc to hit monsters 100% of the time, and this amount goes down by 5 every level (same as +5 acc per level). I don't know if this is true. You get 0.8 acc for every point you put on dex, dexless/low dex dawn warriors mostly get their acc from equips.

    #########################

    You forgot the colors again lol. Easier to read. Make the Font different for the subject titles too. More appealing. I would also add in some Advancing Guides.

    Eg. 1st Job Advance: Get to Level 10. Talk to Mihile...etc...etc

    Try to be a little more detailed that that ^^^^ though.

    Other than that, leave it to the other hsers to find flaws xD.

    Oh nice, another DW guide! I don't see many of these around... Maybe DWs just like to keep to themselves?

    As for DEX... I had no idea when to cap my dex or if there even was a good cap, so I've got 70 DEX now and haven't touched it for the past ~3 levels. Should I round up to 10 and go High Dex, or just stay with the way I am? I can't afford to buy AP reset points as I'm on a student budget and luxuries like NX are.... luxuries.

    tl;dr lolunaware dex is at 70, stay where I am or move up to 80 and try to go for no-funding needed highDEX?

    Also, where are C-1 and MP3? idk what maps those are... And they're in the immediate future for me.
    Well isn't that interesting?
    What's this? You bothered to highlight my sig?You're very bored then, aren't you? Ha. Ha. Ha.

    Stay the way you are. You'll hardly have to buy any dex equips. Buy a few and spend the rest of you money on atk equips. I don't think you'll need to use acc pills.

    C-1 is in magita-not kering subway! Get to magita from arient.
    Mp3 is in Singapore


    Captian mini dungon isn't in gms? Oh.
    Just train at my-lung at pirates.
