Which Metin2 Class Is the Best?
There is no single right answer to "which Metin2 class is best". Each class shines in different areas, and private servers often change the balance. This guide introduces the five classes and nine skill branches and explains which ones players usually pick for farming, PvP, guild wars (WS) and mobile play.
Five classes, nine branches
| Class | Branches (Turkish client names) |
|---|---|
| Warrior | Bedensel (body) / Zihinsel (mental) |
| Ninja | Yakın Dövüş (blades) / Uzak Dövüş (bow) |
| Sura | Büyülü Silah (enchanted weapon) / Kara Büyü (black magic) |
| Shaman | Ejderha Gücü (dragon power) / İyileştirme (healing) |
| Lycan | İçgüdü (instinct, single branch) |
In the official game the branch is chosen through the level 5 "Training" quest with the teachers in the first village. Private servers may handle this differently.
Farming
Farming rewards clearing many monsters fast, so players usually favour branches with strong area damage and self-buffs. Body (Bedensel) warriors and enchanted weapon (Büyülü Silah) suras are the most common community picks. Bow ninjas and black magic (Kara Büyü) suras farm more safely from a distance but can be slower against large groups, depending on gear and server settings.
PvP and guild wars
One-on-one PvP favours burst damage and mobility, while guild wars reward durability, crowd control and support. Warriors hold the front line, ranged ninjas and black magic suras apply pressure from distance, and shamans buff the group: the Ejderha Gücü branch adds critical chance and melee resistance, while the İyileştirme branch adds movement speed, casting speed and attack value and can heal and cleanse. See Metin2 PvP servers and guild war servers.
Mobile play
In our view, branches that buff themselves and deal close-range area damage are the most comfortable on a touch screen with auto hunt, which is why new mobile players are often pointed to a body (Bedensel) warrior or an enchanted weapon (Büyülü Silah) sura. Ranged branches need more practice for positioning in PvP. See our auto hunt guide and stat distribution guide.
Lycan availability
Lycan was added after the original four classes and does not choose a branch. Many private servers, especially those based on older versions, do not include it, so check the server page. For a classic four-class experience see oldschool servers.
Values on private servers may differ: skill damage, cooldowns and class balance are each server's own settings.
Note: Rates, levels and system values on private servers may differ from the official game. Always check your server's announcements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Metin2 class is best for farming?
Players usually favour high area damage branches, especially body (Bedensel) warriors and enchanted weapon (Büyülü Silah) suras. Results can change with each server's balance settings.
Should my ninja use bow or blades?
Pick blades if you enjoy close combat and duels, the bow if you prefer a safer ranged style. For new mobile players the bow can be more forgiving.
Does every server have the Lycan?
No. Lycan was added later and is usually missing on servers based on older versions. Check the server's page.
