The Dark Lord is the "lord" class: it has a mount (horse/raven), buffs allies and hits hard in AoE. Excellent party leader.
Key skills
The Dark Lord fights with a Scepter while mounted on a horse/raven. Notable skills:
- Earthshake: a huge AoE while mounted, sweeps whole screens, damage scaled by Command, the signature farming skill.
- Fire Burst: multi-hit single-target, can stun at mastery.
- Fire Scream, Electric Spike: other AoE attacks.
Command skills: Summon calls a monster to fight for you (needs enough Command), Increase Critical Damage buffs the whole party's critical damage (Dark Lord only). The Dark Raven pet adds extra hits.
Stat build for Dark Lord
- Command: the unique stat, boosts pet/summon damage, put the most here.
- Strength/Vitality: for survivability.

Playstyle & leveling
Mounted Earthshake sweeps the screen, making the Dark Lord one of the fastest farmers, plus a pet and high bulk. Easy to play and excellent for offline leveling in dense spots.
- Early: stack Command (boosts Earthshake and pet), with Strength/Stamina to survive.
- Mid: get a horse and a good Scepter; farm Blood Castle and Devil Square.
- Late: reach enough Command for Summon and the crit buff, add Vitality for PvP.

PvP & party role
The Dark Lord is the commander: Increase Critical Damage buffs the whole party's crit (hugely valuable in Castle Siege and group PvP), strong Earthshake AoE, tanky body. Weakness: weaker single-target if the enemy dodges the AoE.
- Party role: crit buff + AoE + bulk, the ideal leader and group-PvP anchor.
- PvP: wide Earthshake, stay mounted for mobility and bulk.
