Introduction
When
playing Hero Online, it's important to choose a stat build that suits
your personality. Not doing so can result in an early delete of your
character, and possibly the game. Use this guide to get a good
understanding of the viable stat builds in Hero.
Stat Builds :
The STR/INT Build
SHORT
DESCRIPTION: The most common build, STR/INT can level up easily, and
PvP well. Relies on defense armor and defensive skills for protection.
HOW TO BUILD: 147 STR, 15 DEX, rest INT. Add more STR as you see fit.
STRENGTH: Heavy skill damage, great skill
defense.
WEAKNESS: Low defense to normal attacks.
SUITED CLASSES: Musa, Champion, Tracker, Slayer, Combat Medic.
SUITED
WEAPONS: Blade, Spear, Axe, dual blades, pentacord
WHEN
TO BUILD: Start by getting your weapon's requirement of STR. Then add
INT 'till you have 15. Add DEX 'till you have 15. Pile the rest into
STR until you get 100 STR, adding enough INT for the LV25 skills when
needed. Then pile the rest into INT. Add STR when needed for weapons.
The
STR/DEX Build
SHORT DESCRIPTION: The STR/DEX build is very rare. It can become almost impossible to level, but
they excel in PvP combat against STR/INT characters.
HOW TO BUILD: 50 INT, DEX for next weapon, rest STR.
STRENGTH:
Heavy normal damage, great normal defense, high health.
WEAKNESS: Low defense to skill attacks, hard to level.
SUITED
CLASSES: Musa, Slayer, Shinobi, Ranger, Combat Medic.
SUITED WEAPONS: All.
WHEN TO BUILD: Add enough INT to use skills
(up to 50 INT), enough DEX to use the DEX weapon for your level, and the rest into STR.
The
DEX/INT Build
SHORT DESCRIPTION: The ultimate in leveling experience. While the DEX/INT build can't level as fast
as STR/INT, it's a smoother ride. Also, can't PvP.
HOW TO BUILD: 50-80 STR, DEX for next weapon, rest INT. Add/reduce
STR when you see fit. Try not to become a hybrid!
STRENGTH: Great normal defense, great skill defense.
WEAKNESS:
Low health.
SUITED CLASSES: Musa, Surgeon, Combat Medic.
SUITED WEAPONS: Sword, Bow, Throwing, Rod, Gauntlets, dual
rods, pentacord
WHEN TO BUILD: Add 1 STR every level until you get the amount of STR you want. Add enough DEX to use the
weapon for your level. Pile the rest into INT.
The Pure STR Build
SHORT
DESCRIPTION: More of a "for-fun" build, pure STR hits for big numbers,
and is mainly for PvP only. It requires a lot of money for leveling up,
so it's best suited as an alt character.
HOW TO BUILD: 35 INT, rest STR.
STRENGTH: Heavy normal attack, high health.
WEAKNESS: Low defense
to all, no accuracy.
SUITED CLASSES: Musa, Slayer, Ranger, Tracker.
SUITED WEAPONS: Blade, Spear, Axe, dual blades
WHEN
TO BUILD: Easy; add enough STR for level 2 weapon requirements, get to
35 INT, then pile the rest into STR.
The Hybrid Build
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Everyone learns to hate it. Hybrids are only moderate in all
categories, and that is their downfall.
HOW TO BUILD: STR for next weapon, DEX for next weapon, rest INT.
STRENGTH:
Nothing is bad.
WEAKNESS: Nothing is great.
SUITED CLASSES: All.
SUITED WEAPONS: All.
WHEN TO BUILD: Whenever
you see fit to add stat points.
Note
Just
because classes are "suited" for a build doesn't mean you have to be
one of those classes. Choose the class that interests you, but just
remember that the class skills you get with them might not work out as
well as you expect.
While writing this guide, I realized there was only four STR weapons.
