When playing Hero Online, it's important to choose a stat build that suits your personality.

1. The STR/INT Build

The most common build, STR/INT can level up easily, and PvP well. Relies on defense armor and defensive skills for protection.

build: 147 STR, 15 DEX, rest INT. Add more STR as you see fit.

str: Heavy skill damage, great skill defense.

weakness : Low defense to normal attacks.

suited classes : Musa, Champion, Tracker, Slayer, Combat Medic.

suited weapons : Blade, Spear, Axe

when : Start by getting your weapon's requirement of STR. Then add INT 'till you have 15. Add DEX 'till you have 15. Pile the rest into STR until you get 100 STR, adding enough INT for the LV25 skills when needed. Then pile the rest into INT. Add STR when needed for weapons.

2. The STR/DEX Build

The STR/DEX build is very rare. It can become almost impossible to level, but they excel in PvP combat against STR/INT characters.

How to build : 50 INT, DEX for next weapon, rest STR.

str : Heavy normal damage, great normal defense, high health.

weakness : Low defense to skill attacks, hard to level.

suited classes : Musa, Slayer, Shinobi, Ranger, Combat Medic.

suited classes : All.

when to build : Add enough INT to use skills (up to 50 INT), enough DEX to use the DEX weapon for your level, and the rest into STR.

3. The DEX/INT Build

The ultimate in leveling experience. While the DEX/INT build can't level as fast as STR/INT, it's a smoother ride. Also, can't PvP.

how to build : 50-80 STR, DEX for next weapon, rest INT. Add/reduce STR when you see fit. Try not to become a hybrid!

str : Great normal defense, great skill defense.

weakness : Low health.

suited classes : Musa, Surgeon, Combat Medic.

suited weapons : Sword, Bow, Throwing, Rod, Gauntlets.

when to build : Add 1 STR every level until you get the amount of STR you want. Add enough DEX to use the weapon for your level. Pile the rest into INT.
