#New player: Striker or Ninja? (Or are there better suggestions?)

Hey guys, i'm a new player. Started yesterday, currently playing on EU server. First character I made was NInja, but that was done without any research or checking any guides whatsoever.

However, after watching a lot of youtube guides, I got hella confused on what is best to start with as a beginner, and perhaps, main throughout the process for good. I keep hearing that Ninjas are super good, but they require high-skill learning to actually be good at. While Striker is beginner-friendly and is good, but I have never tried it or watched anything about strikers.

Hence why i'm here, hoping this community would shed some light on what's currently a good choice.

You can trial both characters and see which one feels better to you. You want to find something you enjoy and can play hours on not the flavor of the month. Cause you will make more money in game if you actively enjoy what you are playing.

#

You can create trials from the character select top right: Trial Character

#

Would recommend practicing rotations you find and see which feels easier/more enjoyable to you.

#

This way you have them both at the same level equal gear to get a feel for them in battle arena on the training dummies.

Not necessarily no

lahn is a great beginner class, shes squishy but easy to learn

#

succ maegu is another, mid APM and great all around, awk maegu is also really great in pvp so thats a plus

Yeaaaah, i'm torn between Dosa and Lahn rn. Lahn seems intriguing to main, but like you said she's Squishy, and I like to play PVP as much as PVE tbh.

also ur not holding ur ground for shit as a new player ur getting 1 shot regardless

#

gear matters too much especially in ganking cuz even if he went afk ur not killing him

hollow plinth
#

Gee that motivating

celest crater
#

glad to be helpful

#

So basically, whatever I choose, it is a matter of which class has low/high APM and skill ceiling. But when it comes to PVP/PVE, they all are equally efficient one way or another.

#

Eventually it all falls down to gear

#

?

celest crater
#

nah they arent equal

#

there are some classes that out perform others

#

but i wouldnt worry about that too much especially in pve

#

and i wouldnt worry about pvp until late game where u go out of ur way to pvp

Both Lahn and Dosa fall under those criteria, correct? Low APM and low SC
