The Triple Slash is one of six special skills of the Body Warrior in Metin2. It delivers three rapid weapon strikes in quick succession. As a single-target strike skill, it is a fixed part of every Body Warrior's damage rotation. You receive skill points from Level 5 onwards: first four points at once through the quest "The Training", then one additional point per level gained.
What does Triple Slash actually do?
Triple Slash allows the Body Warrior to strike three times with their weapon in rapid succession. This skill is exclusive to the Body Warrior discipline – if you choose the Mental Warrior discipline at Level 5, you won't have access to this skill.
The higher the skill level, the stronger the effect of Triple Slash. The skill costs mana points when used. After activation, it recharges – the cooldown time varies depending on the skill level. Certain items can further enhance its effect.
Body Warrior: All Skills at a Glance
The Body Warrior has the following six discipline skills. Triple Slash is one of them:
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| Sword Aura | Attack power increases varying by level and STR allocation |
| Frenzy | Movement and attack speed increase; defence decreases at Master level |
| Triple Slash | Triple strike with weapon in rapid succession |
| Sword Spiral | Spins with weapon and creates strong area damage |
| Dash | Stun attack; movement speed briefly extremely increased; deals damage |
| Will to Live | Frontal attack |
| Earthquake | Frontal attack |
Note: These seven entries correspond to the Wiki standard – the Body Warrior has more than six skills listed, including two frontal attacks at the end of the bar.
Skill Points: How the System Works
The skill system in Metin2 is clearly regulated:
- From Level 5 onwards, you choose your discipline (Body Warrior or Mental Warrior) through the quest "The Training".
- At Level 5, you immediately receive four skill points.
- From Level 6 onwards, you gain one additional point per level.
- Points are manually distributed to your desired skills in the Skills window.
- Once you've placed at least one point on a skill, you can drag it to the quick access bar and use it with keys 1–4 or F1–F4 – or call it directly via right-click.
Skill Books and the 24-Hour Cycle
Skills are enhanced not only by points but also by skill books. Important rules:
- All skill books can be read on a 24-hour cycle.
- If you want to bypass the waiting time, use an Exorcism Scroll.
- The Triple Slash book directs straight to the Master book in the Wiki – so use the Master book for Master level upgrades.
- Depending on elapsed time, different messages appear explaining why you can't read again yet.
The 17-Point Rule: Don't Over-Skill
One of the most common mistakes when allocating skills is so-called over-skilling. This means: distributing more than 17 skill points to a single skill. The skill system is designed so that skills should advance to the next level at exactly 17 points.
Important to know:
- It is not guaranteed that the skill advances at exactly 17 points.
- If it doesn't advance, you should use the Skill Redistribution item or the Old Woman.
- At the Old Woman, you can reset your skills up to and including Level 30 for a Yang fee.
| Level | Cost in Yang |
|---|---|
| 5 | 20,000 Yang |
| 6 | 22,000 Yang |
| 10 | 30,000 Yang |
| 20 | 50,000 Yang |
| 30 | 70,000 Yang |
Formula: 20,000 Yang at Level 5, +2,000 Yang per level.
If you reset with the Old Woman and allocate the skill to 17 points again and it still doesn't advance, you can repeat the process immediately to avoid losing a skill point.
Resetting Skills: When and How?
A skill reset makes sense in two situations:
- Switching discipline: If you want to change from Body Warrior to Mental Warrior or vice versa.
- Over-skilled: You've allocated more than 17 points to a skill.
When resetting through the Old Woman (up to Level 30), you get all your skill points back. However, you lose Master levels M2 through M10 achieved through books as well as any Grand Master levels already attained. If you want to protect already invested book progress, you should use the Skill Redistribution item (also known as Skill Reset Document) instead.
Using Triple Slash Effectively
A few practical tips for daily use of Triple Slash:
- Use the quick access bar: Place Triple Slash on key 1 to 4 or F1 to F4 for quick access during combat.
- Watch your mana: Every skill costs mana. If you use Triple Slash frequently, plan for potions or mana regeneration.
- Utilise combos: The combo system from the Skills window allows you to extend your strike sequence by up to two additional strikes – a great complement to Triple Slash.
- Items for enhancement: Certain items directly increase skill effects – this applies to Triple Slash as well. These items are particularly worthwhile at higher skill levels.
- Pay attention to cooldown: After use, the skill recharges. During this time, use other skills like Sword Aura or Frenzy.
