A: Keep in mind that, you’re free to progress your combat skills as you see fit due to the Skill Cap system, which may result in your special combat class.

For instance, if you decide to become a brutal rider, rushing upon your enemies in the storm of sacred battle, you will have to choose the branch of “Cavalry” skills. It will give you a nice start on this cruel metier. In the future, as you walk the path of war, your status will be improved and you will be able to use deadlier weapons and better armor. The path consists of three different stages to achieve, and level-up comes out after the achievement of 30 and 60 level of skills accordingly.
