Lineage 2M Beginner Class Guide: How To Choose The Starting Class?
Posted: Jun 06, 2025 Views: 194
As a mobile game, Lineage 2M has a wide selection of classes, but unlike other games, Lineage 2M’s classes are determined by weapons and races. Different races can use different weapons, and currently only the human and Elf race can use all weapons.
Lineage 2M’s class selection is very complicated, so how should players choose their race and weapons?
Sword/Shield
Classes that use sword/shield are usually PvP control tanks, but are somewhat lacking in PvE because you can’t perform range attacks in the early stages and must melee. Although this class consumes very little mana compared to its class, you can directly choose to add some strength so that you can use the most tanky equipment. For PvE, your most reliable active skill is Power Strike, and all your damage comes from normal attacks and Power Strike.
Sword/Shield can be used by most races, and humans are recommended as the race here because the awakening skills of the human race will cause more attack damage, which means faster gold.
Dual Sword
Dual Sword is a melee class at first, but as you gain skills, you can do ranged fear and mid-range damage, so it’s an all-around good class.
Dual Sword is recommended with Dwarf race’s Double Blade, because with Dwarf awakening skill, you can restore 2 health points for each critical hit. And with Dual Sword, you will often crit and have a good attack speed, so it can be used well together. If you don’t like Dwarves, Human race is also a good choice.
Dagger
Dagger is obviously the classic Rogue class. It performs well in PvP, but it is quite slow to advance PVE, and you will rely heavily on potions, so you will take a lot of gold and even Lineage 2M Diamonds on potions. The recommended races for Dagger are also Dwarves and Humans, both of which provide good attribute bonuses.
Bow
The bow is the class with the longest attack range of all classes and relies more on the dexterity attribute. It has high damage, but low health. This class is powerful in PVE, but it is easy to die in PVE.
Human, Elf and Dark Elf Archers are all good choices, and they can deal good damage with their awakening skills.
Staff
This is the classic spell class, which can use many AoE spells, but they can hit other players, so be careful when using AoE. This class also has a mana recovery skill and combat healing ability, which can help maintain a lot of life, but it is not so easy to get.
For PVE, Elf race is recommended because its awakening skill can provide raw power, while Dark Elves are recommended for PvP players.
Orb
Orb is perhaps the best class. You can think of it as a priest. It can provide recovery and various buffs for other classes, but it is not helpless in PVE. The most important thing is that you almost don’t need potions, which can save you a lot of gold and Lineage 2M Dia.
If you want to use Orb, then Dark Elves are undoubtedly the most recommended race, and Dwarves and Elves are tied for a second.
