The Warlord is a human fighter with a polearm built to take down a whole pack of mobs at once: spinning strikes, area stuns and aggro pulls. At level 76 he becomes a Dreadnought. This Lineage 2 Warlord guide covers Interlude: class quests, skills by level, what doesn't stack, gear by grade, where to level, dyes, subclasses and the Olympiad. Every number comes from the server datapack.
Warlord at a glance
| Role | area damage: gather a pack, stun it and finish it with spins; in a party — pulls mobs and hits the crowd |
| Weapon | polearm only: none of the 2nd and 3rd class attack skills can be used without one — see "Warlord gear" |
| Armor | heavy or light, there are passives for both |
| Dyes | STR and DEX at the cost of CON, CON for survival |
| Where to level | 20–40 — The Ant Nest, Catacomb of the Heretic; 40–52 — Catacomb of the Branded, Garden of Eva; 52–61 — Archaic Laboratory, Catacomb of the Apostate; 61–76 — Tower of Insolence, Stakato Nest; 76–80 — Hall of Flames, Varka and Ketra |
A human fighter starts with STR 40, CON 43, DEX 30. Against a single target the Warlord deals less damage than a Gladiator, but he clears a pack faster than most fighters.
How to get the classes
| Class | Level | Quest |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | 20 | Path to a Warrior from Auron, available from level 19 — Warlord 1st class quest |
| Warlord | 40 | three marks: Trial of the Challenger (from 35, Kash in Dion), Testimony of Trust (from 37, Hollint in Oren, humans only), Test of the Champion (from 39, Ascalon, Warrior and Orc Raider only); the class change itself is done by a warrior guild Grand Master, for example Klaus Blackbird in Oren or Hannavalt in Giran |
| Dreadnought | 76 | Saga of the Dreadnought from Aiken, main class only — Warlord 3rd class quest |
On top of adena and XP, Saga of the Dreadnought rewards a 
Secret Book of Giants — keep it for your first skill enchant.
How to play a Warlord in Interlude
Solo packs. A Warlord doesn't kill mobs one at a time — he pulls them together. The rotation:
Provoke — nearby mobs come at you, by level 60 within a 900 radius; 15-second reuse.
Howl — enemies within a 200 radius get P. Atk. ×0.77 for 15 seconds, 8-second reuse. The pack hits you noticeably softer.
Thunder Storm — a 1,735-power strike in a 150 radius plus a 9-second stun, 20-second reuse.
Whirlwind — a 2,283-power strike in the same 150 radius, 17-second reuse. Auto-attack between skills: the polearm already hits several mobs in front of you.
Shock Stomp — a second 9-second stun that makes mobs drop their target; 12-second reuse.
Fell Swoop lets your polearm auto-attack hit up to 5 targets for 60 seconds (120-second reuse) — use it once the pack is gathered. 
Battle Roar raises Max HP ×1.35 for 10 minutes and instantly heals 25.7% HP. Skip it while 
Blessed Body is on you — see "What doesn't stack".
Single target. On a raid boss or a tough mob turn on 
Focus Attack: for 120 seconds the polearm hits only one target, crit power ×1.3, Accuracy +6; 270-second reuse. On a pack it hurts you — you stop hitting the mobs next to your target.
Low HP. 
Final Frenzy adds P. Atk. +129.3 on its own while your HP is at 30% or lower. 
Revival can only be used at 5% HP or lower and restores all of your HP; reuse — one hour. It's an emergency button, not a way to tank a pack.
Buffs for leveling
| Buffer | What the Warlord gets | Does it stack with his own |
|---|---|---|
| Prophet |  Might — P. Atk. ×1.15,  Haste — Atk. Spd. ×1.33 | yes:  War Cry and  Thrill Fight are a different type |
| Warcryer |  Chant of Battle — P. Atk. ×1.15,  Chant of Fury — Atk. Spd. ×1.33 | same; they don't stack with Might and Haste |
| Prophet or Bishop | Blessed Body or Body of Avatar — Max HP ×1.35 for 20 minutes | no, this is the Battle Roar type — see below |
What doesn't stack for the Warlord
- Battle Roar and Blessed Body / Body of Avatar. Same type, and the order equals the skill level. What matters is your Battle Roar level versus the level of the other buff on you: lower — it won't remove it; equal — it replaces it (the one cast last stays); higher — it always replaces it. If the Blessed Body on you is the same level as your Battle Roar or lower, leave Battle Roar alone: it would knock off a 20-minute buff for its own 10 minutes. If Blessed Body is higher level, Battle Roar won't touch it.
- Detect skills — only one at a time.
Detect Animal Weakness, 
Detect Plant Weakness, 
Detect Monster Weakness, 
Detect Dragon Weakness and 
Detect Insect Weakness from the 1st class share one type: a new one removes the previous. Pick the one that matches the mobs in your zone. On the 3rd class 
Eye of Hunter and 
Eye of Slayer have higher order: Detect can no longer remove them, and only one of the two holds at a time. - Stuns. Thunder Storm has order 1, Shock Stomp and
Shock Blast have 2. A Shock Stomp stun overrides a Thunder Storm stun, but not the other way round: on a mob already stunned by Shock Stomp, Thunder Storm lands as damage only. - Howl shares its type with
Power Break, 
Curse: Weakness and Sanctuary at equal order: the last one applied stays on the target.
Warlord skills by level
1–20 · Human Fighter
| Level | Skill | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 5–15 |  Power Strike | sword or blunt strike, MP 19, 13-second reuse |
| 5–15 |  Weapon Mastery,  Armor Mastery | P. Atk. and P. Def. |
You don't need a polearm before level 20: there are no skills or polearm passive for it yet.
20–40 · Warrior
| Level | Skill | Take it |
|---|---|---|
| 20–36 |  Wild Sweep | right away: polearm, strike in a 150 radius, MP up to 37, 17-second reuse — your first hit on a pack |
| 20–36 |  Polearm Mastery | right away — polearm mastery, the Warlord keeps leveling it |
| 20 | War Cry | P. Atk. ×1.2 for 60 seconds, 180-second reuse; never goes past level 1 for this line |
| 20–36 |  Light Armor Mastery or  Heavy Armor Mastery | for your armor type |
| 20–36 |  Boost HP | Max HP; keeps growing on the Warlord |
| 28 | Battle Roar | Max HP for 10 minutes plus an instant heal; keeps growing on the Warlord |
| 20–36 |  Power Smash,  Stun Attack | only if you fight with something other than a polearm before 40: Power Smash — sword or blunt, Stun Attack — blunt only; the Warlord doesn't continue them |
| 36 |  Lionheart | resistance to stun, sleep, hold and paralysis for 60 seconds |
The whole Warrior tree costs 733,900 SP — you can learn all of it.
40–76 · Warlord
| Level | Skill | What it does (max level) |
|---|---|---|
| 40, grows to 74 | Whirlwind | 2,283-power strike in a 150 radius, MP 83, 17-second reuse |
| 40 (skill lv. 6 — 70) | Battle Roar | Max HP ×1.35 and a 25.7% HP heal; don't use it over Blessed Body |
| 40, grows to 74 | Thunder Storm | 1,735-power strike in a 150 radius and a 9-second stun, MP 113, 20-second reuse |
| 40, grows to 74 | Polearm Mastery | P. Atk. with a polearm +129.3 |
| 40, grows to 74 |  Vicious Stance | toggle: crit damage +609, drains MP |
| 40, grows to 74 | Focus Attack | single target: crit power ×1.3, Accuracy +6 for 120 seconds |
| 43, grows to 74 | Howl | enemy P. Atk. ×0.77 for 15 seconds, 200 radius |
| 43, grows to 60 | Provoke | pulls mobs in a 900 radius, MP 89 |
| 43, grows to 74 | Final Frenzy, Boost HP | P. Atk. +129.3 at 30% HP or lower; Max HP +480 |
| 46 (lv. 2 — 55) | Thrill Fight | Atk. Spd. ×1.1 but run speed ×0.8 for 5 minutes — for fighting in place |
| 36 (lv. 3 — 62) | Lionheart | stun, sleep, hold and paralysis resistance +80% for 60 seconds, 900-second reuse |
| 52 (lv. 4 — 76) |  Divine Inspiration | an extra buff slot per level; by default learned only from Ancient Book — Divine Inspiration books |
| 55, grows to 72 | Shock Stomp | 9-second stun around you, mobs lose their target; 12-second reuse |
| 55 | Revival | full HP at 5% HP or lower, 3600-second reuse |
| 58, grows to 74 | Fell Swoop | for 60 seconds polearm auto-attack hits up to 5 extra targets |
| 58 (lv. 3 — 74) |  War Frenzy,  Polearm Accuracy | toggles: stun resistance +30% and sleep resistance +60%; Accuracy with a polearm +4 |
| 66 (lv. 10 — 74) |  Wrath | strips up to 30% CP from enemies in front of you — PvP only, mobs have no CP; 120-second reuse |
The full 2nd class tree costs 82,031,000 SP, Polearm Mastery and the armor passives — 6,746,000 each. Learning order: Whirlwind and Thunder Storm → Polearm Mastery → the passive for your armor → Howl, Provoke and Shock Stomp → Boost HP. Wrath and War Frenzy are for PvP — they can wait. Detect skills are cheap in SP and add damage against their mob type: +20% vs animals, monsters and dragons, +30% vs plants.
Dreadnought skills at 76–80
| Level | Skill | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 76 |  Wisdom,  Health | passives: +20% resistance to hold, sleep and mental attacks; +20% to poison and bleed |
| 77 | Shock Blast | 2,072-power strike on a 150-radius area at 500 range, 9-second stun, target's P. Def. and M. Def. ×0.7; costs 507 HP, 4-second cast, 30-second reuse |
| 77 | Eye of Hunter | damage vs insects, plants and animals +40% for 10 minutes |
| 77 |  Skill Mastery | a chance (scales with STR) for a skill's reuse to reset instantly |
| 77 |  Battle Force | channel on a party member: his P. Atk. ×1.1 while you keep casting for 15 seconds |
| 78 |  Earthquake | 4,040-power strike around you in a 150 radius, enemies lose their target; costs 340 HP, 30-second reuse |
| 78 | Eye of Slayer | damage vs monsters, dragons, giants and magic creatures +40% |
| 78 |  Parry Stance | toggle: P. Def. and M. Def. ×1.25, Atk. Spd. ×0.8, run speed ×0.9 |
| 78 |  Master of Combat,  Braveheart | P. Atk. +80 and Max CP ×1.05; 1,000 CP instantly, 600-second reuse |
| 80 |  Symbol of Honor 📖 | a symbol with a 180 radius: allies inside regenerate HP and CP faster; requires a Battle Force effect of the second level or higher on yourself — two party members give it by channeling Battle Force on you at the same time (each extra one raises the effect level), consumes a  Battle Symbol, 30-minute reuse, not usable in the Olympiad |
The full 3rd class costs 283,000,000 SP, and more than half of it — 150 million — goes into Symbol of Honor alone. Its book 
Ancient Tactical Manual: Symbol of Honor isn't sold in shops: it drops from Tyrannosaurus lv. 87 at 33.33% in one drop category and 2.94% in another. The book is only required on servers with the SpBookNeeded setting turned on; with it off, Symbol of Honor is learned for SP.
The Dreadnought's core combo is Earthquake around you and Shock Blast at range: both have a 30-second reuse and both cost HP — 340 and 507. Go into the combo at full HP: use potions, and Battle Roar only if you don't have Blessed Body or Body of Avatar on you.
Warlord skill enchanting
From level 76 the 2nd class skills can be enchanted to +30 along one of two routes. The first step is unlocked by a Secret Book of Giants; every step costs SP and XP. The higher the step, the lower the chance, and the chance rises with character level — so people enchant at 78–80. 3rd class skills can't be enchanted in Interlude.
| Skill | Route 1, at +30 | Route 2, at +30 |
|---|---|---|
| Whirlwind | power 2,899 | MP 53 |
| Thunder Storm | stun chance 78 instead of 50 | power 2,204, MP 39 |
| Howl | chance 50 instead of 40 | MP 34 |
| Boost HP | HP +580 | HP +480 and CP +300 |
| Shock Stomp | chance 70 instead of 50 | — |
Start with Whirlwind on the power route: it's your main damage against a pack. For Thunder Storm, route 1 is the stun, route 2 is power and MP.
Warlord gear
The Warlord moves to a new grade at levels 20, 40, 52, 61 and 76. One polearm does every job — it's two-handed, so no shield, and the set's shield bonus is lost.
1–20 · no grade
| Armor | Weapon |
|---|---|
 Wooden Breastplate — set: P. Def. ×1.02, HP +41 | sword or blunt for Power Strike |
20–40 · D grade
| Armor | Weapon |

 Brigandine Tunic — set: P. Def. ×1.05, HP +153 |  Glaive, P. Atk. 92 |
 Manticore Skin Shirt — set: MP +92, if Wild Sweep keeps draining your MP | the same Glaive |
40–52 · C grade
| Armor | Weapon |
|---|---|
 Full Plate Armor — set: HP +270 |  Orcish Poleaxe - Wide Blow, P. Atk. 156: wider swing angle |

52–61 · B grade

 Blue Wolf Breastplate — set: STR +3, CON −1, DEX −2, speed +7, HP regen ×1.0524 |  Lance - Critical Stun, P. Atk. 194 |

 Imperial Crusader Breastplate — set: P. Def. ×1.08, HP +445, sleep and hold resistance +70%, STR +2, DEX −2 |  Saint Spear - Haste, P. Atk. 281: Atk. Spd. ×1.07 |
 Draconic Leather Armor — set: P. Atk. ×1.04, Atk. Spd. ×1.04, STR +1, DEX +1, CON −2, MP +289 | Saint Spear - Health |
Imperial Crusader lets you survive the pack, Draconic kills it faster. A polearm swings slower than a one-handed sword, so attack speed bonuses are worth more to a Warlord than they look. Jewelry — the best you can afford: on B the 
Necklace of Black Ore set, on A — 
Majestic Necklace, on S — 
Tateossian Necklace.
Where to level a Warlord
A Warlord wants spots where mobs stand close together: the more of them around you, the more XP a single skill rotation brings. The tables list the zones with the best XP per mob HP and two notable drops each; chances are at x1 rate, the mob's level is shown next to its name.

Level 76–80
Best for a Warlord: Forge of the Gods — more XP per HP than Hall of Flames and far more mobs; Monastery of Silence — almost as much XP per HP as Forge of the Gods; Varka Silenos Barracks and Ketra Orc Outpost — packed camps, hundreds of spawns.

Warlord dyes
You get three slots. The Warlord can use dyes for STR, DEX, CON, INT and WIT; there are none for MEN.
| Goal | Dyes |
|---|---|
| damage on packs |  Greater Dye of STR (Str+4 Con-4),  Greater Dye of DEX (Dex+4 Con-4) and Greater Dye of STR (Str+1 Con-1) |
| you keep dying in packs | Greater Dye of STR (Str+4 Con-4),  Greater Dye of CON (Con+4 Dex-4) and Greater Dye of CON (Con+1 Dex-1) |
The two damage dyes add up to STR +4, DEX +4, CON −8; a third STR dye makes it STR +5, DEX +4, CON −9. Your HP comes from a set that gives HP: Full Plate, Doom, Imperial Crusader. INT and WIT do nothing for a fighter.
Subclasses for a Warlord
A subclass is taken from level 75: your main class and every subclass you already have must reach it. With default server settings there's no subclass without the Mimir's Elixir and Fate's Whisper quests; the maximum is three.
- Warlord as the main class. Any 2nd class works as a subclass except your own, Overlord and Warsmith. People usually pick a different role: a buffer or healer for the party — Prophet, Warcryer, Bishop — or a Gladiator for single-target fights.
- Warlord as a subclass. It's taken for fast pack leveling when your main class is something else. aCis code has no restrictions on Warlord as a subclass, but the list offered by a given subclass master depends on his race and type.
In Interlude subclass skills don't carry over to the main class: they only work while the subclass is active. High Five has subclass certification.
Warlord or Gladiator
| Warlord | Gladiator | |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon | polearm, area strikes | dual swords, single-target strikes |
| Strength | packs, pulling mobs, area stuns | duels, raid bosses, one-on-one PvP |
| Shared | War Cry, Final Frenzy, Detect skills | same |
On dense spots the Warlord levels faster. The Gladiator is stronger against a single target and in the Olympiad. If you play with a buffer in a second window and like pulling packs — go Warlord; if you're after bosses and PvP — Gladiator.
Warlord in the Olympiad
The Olympiad is open to Noblesse only and on the main class only — with a subclass active you can't start a match. There the Dreadnought relies on Shock Blast (stun and target defense ×0.7), Wrath (−30% CP in front of you), Howl against fighters and Braveheart for 1,000 CP. Lionheart and War Frenzy keep you standing against enemy stuns. Battle Force is useless in the Olympiad — you have no allies in the match, and Symbol of Honor can't be used there.
