==Demon Slayer Basics==

===AP Distribution===
STR is the Demon Slayer's main damage stat. All points not spent on STR should be put in DEX, as the other stats do not help Warriors AT ALL!  Some people cap their DEX at 50 or so and put all AP on STR after that.

Consider trying to go without DEX, or at least keep it as low as you can. Second job Physical Training adds 30 DEX. If you have a level 70+ Cannoneer, level 10 Pirate Blessing gives 15 DEX, and it's not difficult to add more with other equipment such as rings and zhelm.

===Skill Build===
At level 10, after you job advance to Demon Slayer, you will get 4 skills in the beginner tab automatically.

*'''Level 10''': +1 '''Dark Winds''' (1)
*'''Level 10''': +1 '''Curse of Fury''' (1)
*'''Level 10''': +1 '''Fury Unleashed''' (1)
*'''Level 10''': +1 '''Demonic Blood''' (1)

Note: Level 10 Fury Unleashed is a Link Skill, but it can not be given to another character on your account until you reach level 70.  It can be changed to another character on the account only one time per day.

*'''Level 10''': '''Demon Wings''' is a mount. Open Character Info, Press Mount (tab), put this skill on a keyboard key.

==Demon Slayer==

===First Job===
All first job skills will be maxed. There are a couple good 1 pointers, then max Demon Lash first as it will be your primary attack.

Don't forget to talk to Dances with Balrog at level 18 for your Andras hat. It gives 12 STR.

After maxing out your primary attack boosting skills, Soul Eater and Vengeance could be swapped depending on which you use more, but Soul Eater's first real use is level 48 Spirit of Rock (Kerning Square boss), then you don't need it again till about level 54 when you go to Jesters and it works fine with only 1 point. Vengeance will match Battle Pact time when maxed and they work good together on a macro. Dark Thrust and Chaos Lock also do their job well with only 1 point. The extra damage is nice, but can easily wait till later as it can already 1HKO CD's with only 1 point. Chaos Lock does not get maxed.
