Well sourced

Our take

The RO New World team's own view

  • This suits players who like to keep moving, kite and reposition all fight long. Skip it if you want a hands-off form; Werewolf asks far less of you and sustains itself better.
  • Our order: reach about 104 AGI for 3.0 attack frequency before anything else, then STR. Max Sharp Whirlwind first, run Gale Force until Lv40, then switch to Sharp Feather and add Feather Blade.
  • The trap is spending your God-Forged Ember now. The main skill changes at each tier, so save it for the Lv70 build. Also turn on Enemy Lock Indicator Line so you do not hit the wrong target.
  • Verdict: the most mobile Kanos form, with the least settled setup of the three (no resonance documented yet). Pick it over Werewolf only if mobility matters more to you than sustain.

Stat Priority

  1. 1. AGI
  2. 2. STR

Prioritize AGI — aim for at least 3.0 attack frequency, which needs roughly 104 total AGI before gear — then STR. The Build Master stat rewards follow STR first, then AGI.

  2. Sharp Whirlwind through grouped enemies; Swift Tornado to make space.
  3. Turn on Enemy Lock Indicator Line in your Battle settings so you don't hit the wrong target.
