Best Metin2 Class for Pvp: Which Character Should You Choose?

"Which class is the strongest in Pvp?" is one of the oldest debates in Metin2 communities. There is no single right answer: the server's balance, the level range, your gear and above all your own skill decide the outcome. Still, every class has a clear role in Pvp and situations where it shines. This guide compares the classes and their skill groups and helps you figure out which one fits your play style.

Classes and skill groups in Metin2

In Metin2 every class (except the Lycan) picks one of two skill groups, and the gameplay changes a lot depending on that choice:

• Warrior: The Body group is all about high melee damage and aggression, the Mental group about toughness and defense.
• Ninja: The Blade-Fight group is an assassin that deals fast burst damage; the Archery group is an archer that fights with a bow.
• Sura: The Weaponry group fights in melee with magically enhanced attacks; the Black Magic group focuses on ranged magic damage.
• Shaman: The Dragon Force group deals magic damage; the Healing Force group is a support character that heals and buffs the team.
• Lycan: Stands out with fast, rapid-fire melee attacks and has only one skill group. Not every server has it; oldschool servers in particular usually leave it out.

Strengths and weaknesses of each class in Pvp

The ratings in the table show general trends. Which class stands out in 1v1 Pvp depends on the server's balance, the level range and the gear, and players don't agree on it either. A Ninja with good bonuses or a Shaman with good timing can also beat an opponent who looks stronger.

Which class suits your play style?

• If you like attacking head-on: Body Warrior or Weaponry Sura. If you want to go straight at your opponent and keep up the pressure, these two are the most fun choices.
• If you want to be tough: Mental Warrior. Ideal for surviving long fights and holding the front line in guild wars.
• If you're after speed and burst damage: Blade-Fight Ninja or (if the server has it) Lycan. Strong in the hands of players who know when to strike and when to pull back.
• If you like fighting from range: Archery Ninja, Black Magic Sura or Dragon Force Shaman. A good fit if you enjoy positioning and keeping your distance.
• If you love team play: Healing Force Shaman. Always in demand in guild wars and dungeons.

Check the server before you pick a class

The same class can perform completely differently on two servers. Before you decide, look at the following:

• Level range: On 1-99 servers the basic skills and your gear are what count. On 1-105 and 1-120 servers, alchemy, shoulder sashes and similar systems shift the balance between the classes. You can browse the range you want on the 1-99 or 1-120 server pages.
• Server changes: Some servers adjust skill damage or class balance. Don't decide before reading the systems and patch notes on the description page.
• Popularity: Popular classes face more competition, and gear for them is pricier on the market. A less played class can make it easier to find gear and get you more invites to groups.

Practical advice for beginners

Picking a forgiving class for your first character makes learning the game easier. The Warrior is a good start here: the Mental Warrior's high defense forgives your mistakes, while the Body Warrior's high damage clears monsters and Metin stones quickly. Once you've learned the basics, you can move on to classes that demand more mastery, such as the Ninja, the Sura or the Shaman.

Frequently asked questions

What is the strongest class in Metin2?

There's no definitive answer; it depends on the server's balance, the level range and the gear. In 1v1 fights the player's skill usually makes the difference. In guild wars, however, a good Healing Force Shaman can decide the fate of the whole team.

Can I change my skill group later?

That depends on the server's rules. On many servers the choice is permanent, or it can only be reset with a special item. Find out the server's rule before you invest heavily in your character.

Which class is better for hunting monsters and earning Yang?

Classes with strong area damage clear monsters quickly. The Body Warrior, Weaponry Sura and Dragon Force Shaman stand out here.

Should I create more than one character?

On most servers you can create several characters on one account. Leveling a support character (for example a Healing Force Shaman) next to your main makes both dungeons and team play easier.
