For readability I'll type in a normal font for this post...

Introduction to Warrior:

As said on the Conquer Online site, the Warrior is the "defensive" class, compared to Trojan, which is the "attack" class. The warrior class is very easy to start off and is one of the fastest (if not The Fastest) class to level up, thanks to the XP skill, Superman.

Advantages of Warrior:

1. Highest defense of all classes (at earlier levels anyways)

2. Ability to wear a shield greatly reduces damage (again, at lower levels)

3. Shield skill, Dash, allows you to
"Dash" an opponent, pushing back them one step and doing normal damage. A special trick is to left click on the opponent just as you are about to do Dash damage, so you end up hitting twice in one move.

4. The XP skill. Superman. THIS IS YOUR LEVELING GOD. For a few good seconds, your damage against monsters is increased by 10X, and you get 10X off each hit as well. Very fast at mowing down mobs for quick exp. With Superman you can kill Messenger, Aides, and Kings very easily.

5. Warrior is a very independent class. You can comfortably level by yourself without always needing someone to level with you.

6. Warrior equipment is the cheapest of all class equipment. On Lion server, most warrior equipments are about half as expensive as trojan ones. So if you're starting a brand new character or are just really poor, then warrior is for you.


Disadvantages of Warrior

Warrior's probably sounding really nice right now huh? But there are some drawbacks to this class.

1. Lower damage compared to trojans, since warriors are always stuck with using one weapon.

2. Very hard to kill using a Warrior, compared to other classes. Warriors rely on SS/FB/direct hit to kill, while Trojans have all that, and on top of that, have Hercules. Herc may not be that strong (when without a good DragonGem set), but its much easier to aim. You as a Warrior, are going to use a Club for leveling (usually), so it will be insanely hard to defend yourself using a Club. (Warrior PVP later in guide)

3. At mid-higher levels, a piece of Trojan armor has more defense (phys/mag) than Warrior armor. So if you decide to go with a 2-hander weapon anytime during your warrior carreer, just know that a Trojan of the same level would most likely have just as much defense as you, or more.

4. Low HP, about half the HP of a Trojan, and the same HP as a Tao of the same level.

5. Only able to wield one weapon, so you can't mix and match weapons like you can with Trojan.

6. Lower level Trojans can own you.

7. Since Warriors can only hold one weapon, they can only get 2 easy sockets, while Trojans can get 4 easy sockets a-la Dual Wielding. (Suggested by mariux)


Why Play Warrior Then?

After all those disadvantages, you're probably wondering why you would want to play as Warrior. Here are some commonly used reasons:

1. Cheap equipment. Very easy to start a new warrior character with decent +'s.

2. Cool looking armor. Generally, only the armors level 70 and up are the good looking ones. Everything under that isnt too good.

3. If you ever become a good PvP warrior, you'll have reason to boast. Hard to PvP as a Warrior when compared to Trojan.

4. Because Warriors level quite fast with Superman, they are one of the fastest classes to level up to reborn. (Tip by ESD)

DOs and DON'Ts of Warrior

DO:

- Buy an Elite Helmet and Elite Armor as soon as possible.
- Buy a Fixed Warrior armor and use it until Level 57, where you should switch to your Elite armor. There are Lv32 and Lv47 Fixed armors.
- Use a Club for leveling. ANY club! Regular club will be decent for leveling, refined and higher are even better.
- + your armor and helmet as much and as often as you can. First + your armor, then your helmet. The m-def you get from +'ing armor is very helpful.
- A Blade/Sword with FB/SS is recommended to use at Training Grounds on the Scarecrows.

DO NOT:

- Do not use a Blade, Sword, or any weapon without an area attack skill for leveling. The exp you get from using a Club or even a Whip is much better than from a Sword.
- Do not attempt to train at rednamed monsters unless you take 1 damage from them. Anything higher and they will be a drain on your pots. Instead, train on whitenamed monsters that will hit you for the minimum damage and maximum exp.
- Do not super your equipment right away. If you are a new player who miraculously came into possession of a Super item, sell it, dont use it. Super items take a very large amount of meteors to upgrade at market. Upgrading Super items at TC is very difficult and dangerous - you can be PKed at anytime.
- Do not carry/sell expensive items in town. Do this at Market, where you can't be PKed.
- Do not use Dragonballs to upgrade the quality of items unless you know that the upgraded version of the item is worth more than the original item + DB combined. NEVER upgrade the quality of a normal or refined item, unless its a socketed non-weapon.
- Do not super anything that does not have sockets. Sockets first, quality later.
- Do not get pleveled at levels 50-60+. You will most likely be able to level solo faster than by plevel.

Is Warrior the Right Class for You?

If you want the easy way to level up fast: YES - Warrior is very easy to level
If you are a hardcore gamer and want as much power as you can: NO - Warrior is not a brute strength class. If you want brute strength, choose Trojan or Fire Tao.
If you want to be strong and powerful right from the start: NO - If you want power, Trojan is for you.
If you want to look cool: YES
If you want to PvP easily/often: NO - It is not easy to PvP as a warrior for the average player. If you are a PvP-loving person, Trojan is more suited to you.
If you are poor and have little/nothing to start with - YES - Warriors need little money to start compared to other classes.
