The original Elsword

Overall usefulness

Pretty crappy at combos(in the beginning), the character also knocks down enemies down a lot too, mostly not a team player(until you know how to use him well).

Pros:

  • After awhile, you'd know how to do combos without knocking him down
  1. When you learn that. gaining MP is much faster, making you one of the faster mp gainers for first job
  • Being short, believe it or not, being short is very good, there are some bosses that will lose around 1/3 of their move set because they just can't hit you with it, though that is still only viable for maybe 4 bosses.
  • Has two skills for super armor mobs and when bosses gain limited superarmor, great 3rd Magic Skill, actually better than his later jobs' third skill.

Cons:

  • No range moves, meaning you're going to get hit a lot later on(until you know how to dodge), also really bad against super armor mobs(unless you have something like flame geyser and you have enough MP).
  • Crappy physical skills in comparison to magical attacks
