Download & Setup

Pro Tip: On PC, map movement/dodge skills to keys, use controller support for fluid fights, or set macros to smooth out combos.

I. Character Classes & Builds

Base Classes (Pick Your Style)

1. Archer – Ranged DPS with CC and subtle magic support. Kiting is your best friend.

2. Knight – Full tank with counterattack prowess. Ideal for front-lining.

3. Wizard – Utility mage with healing and buffs. Less survival, more support swing.

These classes are locked—choose wisely because your playstyle hinges on them .

Advanced Specializations (Unlock at Lv.15)

Each base branches into two powerful specs:

• Archer → Bounty Hunter / Gunner (focused on crit burst or AoE flow)

• Knight → Cloudstrider / Starbreaker (speedy melee vs heavy tank)

• Wizard → Elementalist / Warlock (AoE control vs buff-heavy setups)

These branch-offs shift gameplay style. For instance, Gunner suits chaotic AOE fights, while Bounty Hunter excels at roaming burst damage.

II. Core Gameplay Mechanics

 Combat System

Karnak boasts action-first combat — dodge, block, and combo with precision. Forget auto-play; here, it's your reactions that decide your fate. Skill wheels help you pre-load abilities: one wheel for actives and another for passives; swapping mid-fight smooths rotations and boosts DPS.

 Progression Modes

• Adventure: Main story, battles, and exploration.

• Elite Challenges: Harder quest remixes offering gear and materials.

• Abyss Dungeon: The late-game endurance test—bosses back-to-back with scarce healing.

Progression feels fresh and rewarding; max-level loot comes from Abyss so be ready to grind smart.

III. Gear, Crafting & Upgrades

Gear Tiers

• Rare → Epic: Tiers unlocked via Adventure and Elite

• Legend Gear: From Abyss and Siege Rewards

• Gear upgrades use Enhancement Stones, Magatrium, and Chaos Cubes

Tips

• Don’t use high-tier mats on alts early; focus on your main.

• Save Chaos Cubes for endgame sets—they deliver major stat scaling.

Crafting & Material Loop

Dismantle unwanted gear for crafting materials. Use these to craft/upgrades epic items via Chaos Cubes and Magatrium. Strategic gear cycling keeps you ahead in PvE and PvP loops.

IV. Mounts & Movement

 Mount Types

• Basic horses, wolves, magical creatures — unlocked early

• Mounts offer movement and combat support: dash, evade, AoE run

 Mount Progression

Mount XP gained by traveling and completing events. Each upgrade smoothes traversal and buffs evasion—key for open-world skirmishes.

V. Exploration & Side Activities

Whimstar Collection

Explore platforming puzzles across Istrad to find floating Whimstars. Rewards include cosmetics, lore entries, and crafting mats—totally worth the detours.

Photography (Momo’s Map Quests)

• Skill Timing: Watch animations, bait out cooldowns, time interrupts correctly

Equip PvP starter gear with cooldown reduction, defensive stats, and control effects to outlast and outplay.
