MapleStory Dragon Warrior Skill Build Guide

MapleStory Adventurer Dragon Warrior Job Selection

Dragon Warrior is a MapleStory Adventurer Pirate who wields gun and a special shield. This job is a mix of Mechanic, Brawler and Gunslinger skills with a touch of Chinese Martial Arts and Dragonball. Dragon Warrior Primary stat is DEX, secondary stat is STR. Basically, Dragon Warrior is similar to Jett just that it uses different skill animation but stats remain nearly identical and has some new additional skills. Dragon Warrior is exclusive for CMS/TMS (China MapleStory / Taiwan MapleStory) whereas Jett is exclusive for GMS (Global MapleStory). UPDATE NOV 2012: It seems that MapleSEA has copied TMS/CMS Dragon Warrior and relabel them as Zen Job Class.

Dragon Warrior Storyline
The story tells of a village attacked by the Black Mage (emperor of darkness), and before its destruction, the village head managed to send his young son and daughter to safety via a boat. However, the boat got hit by Black Mage evil monsters and it crashed in Nautilus. Later, Kyrin rescued them from the wreckage. Both son and daughter had some training during their stay at their father’s emperor temple, this explains they have some special skills along with Kyrin’s Pirate teaching.

Explanation:
I recommend capping Dragon Wing Fist because its much easier to train with long-range skill compared to Violent Impact, a close-combat skill. Both attack multiple enemies where the latter deals more damage by sacrificing range. You can switch between Dragon Wing Fist or Violent Impact depending on your game-play. Double Shot is maxed last to unlock Triple Shot (Dragon Warrior 2nd Job Skill)

    Hi Jason Khoo, there was a slight mistake with the max level for Truth Seeker’s Fist. It is not max level 20, but max level 30. That is where the missing 10 SP (Skill Points) went.

  2. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Diamond Low, I realized that CMS Dragon Warrior and MapleSEA Zen 4th Job skills is a little different. I have created a separate guide for MapleSEA Zen which can be found at http://ayumilove.net/maplestory-zen-skill-build-guide/

  10. fluxczen on said:

    Anyone know how to do 4th job advancement for zen?

  11. anoimus on said:

    Actually Ayumi, they did not re-skinned dragon warrior. All they did was just translated the skills, the story line and gave it a new name.

  12. Ayumilove on said:

    Probably a Pirate Job since GMS Jett (A reskin of this class) is a Pirate.

  13. Ayumilove on said:

    Thanks Anoimus for the update! It seems that many Maplers find it hard to believe that MapleSEA is re-skinning Dragon Warrior with new flashy skills but same attack pattern with a new name Zen. It would be a comeback for MapleSEA to define their own local attack style just like Korean PSY Gangnam Style with horse riding dance :D
