What is Fast Attack in Metin2?
Fast Attack (also known as Blitzangriff in German, Attaque rapide in French, Szybki Atak in Polish) is a skill in Metin2's skill system. Skills are special abilities for your character that you manage through the skill window and use actively in combat. This skill belongs to class-bound skills that you develop through skill point allocation.
Metin2 has two basic types of skills: class-specific skills (including Fast Attack) and mount skills. Fast Attack falls into the first category and is tied to your chosen specialisation.
Skill System – Fundamentals
Before you can use Fast Attack effectively, you need to understand Metin2's general skill system:
- From level 5 you choose your specialisation via the quest "Training".
- At level 5 you immediately receive 4 skill points.
- From level 6 onwards you receive 1 additional skill point per level gained.
- Each class has two specialisations with six special skills each.
- Once you've allocated at least 1 point to a skill, you can drag it to the quick access bar and activate it with keys 1–4 or F1–F4.
Warrior Class Skills Overview
Fast Attack should be understood in the context of warrior classes, which are divided into two specialisations in Metin2: Body Warrior and Mental Warrior. Each specialisation has its own skills with different focuses.
| Specialisation | Skill | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Body Warrior | Sword Aura | Attack value increases based on level and STR allocation |
| Body Warrior | Battle Fury | Movement and attack speed increases; defence decreases at Master level |
| Body Warrior | Triple Slash | Triple strike in quick succession |
| Body Warrior | Sword Whirlwind | Strong area damage around the character |
| Body Warrior | Dash | Stun attack with extremely high movement speed |
| Body Warrior | Will to Live | Frontal attack |
| Body Warrior | Earthquake | Frontal attack |
| Mental Warrior | Strong Body | Defence increases; movement speed decreases; no knockdown at Master level |
| Mental Warrior | Sword Strike | Stun with area damage |
| Mental Warrior | Stomp | Stun chance with area damage |
| Mental Warrior | Breakthrough | Area damage |
| Mental Warrior | Violent Strike | Area damage |
Allocating Skill Points – Step by Step
Point allocation directly determines the effectiveness of your skills. The following applies to all skills including Fast Attack:
- The higher the skill level, the stronger the effect.
- Skills cost mana points when used – consumption increases with skill level.
- After each use there is a cooldown that varies by skill.
- Certain items can further improve a skill's effectiveness.
- Counter skills unlock boost skills once they are mastered.
Important: Never allocate more than 17 points to a skill without it advancing to the next level. This is called "mis-skilling". If this happens to you, you'll need to reset your skills.
Skill Books and Training
In addition to skill points gained from levelling, there's another training method: Skill Books (e.g. Fast Attack Book, which internally forwards to the Master Book). You read these to further improve your skill.
- All skill books can be read in parallel on a 24-hour cycle.
- If you haven't completed the waiting period, you'll receive a message explaining why you must wait.
- To skip the waiting period, you can use an Exorcism Scroll.
Plan your daily login so you can use the books on a 24-hour rhythm – this is the most efficient way to bring Fast Attack to Master level without extra Yang.
Resetting Skills – Costs and Procedure
If you've mis-skilled or want to try a new specialisation, there are two ways to reset:
Method 1: Old Woman (scales to level 30 for free)
The Old Woman resets your skills up to and including level 30 for a Yang fee. You get all skill points back – but you lose points from Master levels M2 to M10 and any Grand Master levels already achieved.
| Character Level | Cost (Yang) |
|---|---|
| 5 | 20,000 |
| 6 | 22,000 |
| 7 | 24,000 |
| 10 | 30,000 |
| 20 | 50,000 |
| 30 | 70,000 |
Note: The cost is 20,000 Yang at level 5 and increases by 2,000 Yang per level.
Method 2: Skill Reallocation (Item)
The "Skill Reset Document" item allows a reset without the restrictions of the Old Woman. It has equivalents in almost all languages and is the preferred method for higher levels.
Practical tip when resetting: If the skill doesn't advance at exactly 17 points when resetting at the Old Woman, you can try again immediately – this way you don't lose any skill points. Advancing at exactly 17 points is not guaranteed.
Quick Access Bar – Using Fast Attack in Combat
Once you've allocated at least 1 point to Fast Attack, activate it like this:
- Open the skill window (K key, depending on server version).
- Drag and drop Fast Attack to the quick access bar at the bottom of your screen.
- Activate the skill with keys 1–4 or F1–F4.
- Alternatively: Right-click the skill in the skill window.
- Some skills can also be placed directly on the left or right mouse button.
