PW High Five Guide — Plains Walker and Wind Rider in L2

PW in High Five — Plains Walker and Wind Rider Guide (H5)

The PW (Plains Walker) in High Five is an elven dagger fighter whose blows come almost back to back: Backstab and Deadly Blow recharge in 3 seconds, and from level 40 Shadow Step drops him right behind his target. His 3rd class is the Wind Rider, who switches to dual daggers with Dual Dagger Mastery and hits with Dual Blow. This PW H5 guide covers the class quests, how blows land, skills by level, what changed since Interlude, gear from D to S84, where to level, dyes, subclasses and the Olympiad. All numbers come from the High Five datapack.

PW in H5 at a glance


Role	single-target damage with blows; solo leveling, picking off lone targets, PvP
Weapon	a dagger, then dual daggers once you have Dual Dagger Mastery — see "PW gear"
Armor	light: Light Armor Mastery adds P. Def and evasion
Dyes	DEX up to +5 plus STR (leveling) or CON (PvP) — see "PW dyes"
Where to level	20–40 — The Pilgrim's Necropolis, Catacomb of the Heretic; 40–52 — Cruma Tower, Garden of Eva; 52–61 — Devil's Isle, The Enchanted Valley; 61–76 — Tower of Insolence, Wall of Argos; 76–80 — Imperial Tomb, Hall of Flames; 80–85 — Antharas' Lair, Hardin's Academy

For the class in the older chronicle — no dual daggers and long blow reuse — see the Interlude PW guide. Everything below is about High Five only.

PW 2nd and 3rd class quests

Class	Level	How to get it
Elven Scout	20	Path to an Elven Scout from Reisa
Plains Walker	40	three marks: Mark of Seeker — Trial of the Seeker (from level 35), Mark of Life — Testimony of Life quest (from 37), Mark of Searcher — Test of the Searcher quest (from 39)
Wind Rider	76	Saga of the Wind Rider from Black Cat; the reward is adena and a Giant's Codex

Once you have the marks, the warrior master in town changes your class; in High Five he also hands you 15 Shadow Item Exchange Coupon (C-grade) coupons. The High Five datapack has no quest scripts, so the start levels and the Saga reward are taken from Interlude — double-check them with the NPC on your server.

PW blows in High Five

What really sets H5 apart is reuse. Backstab, Deadly Blow and Lethal Blow come back in 3–4 seconds, so the PW rotates them with hardly a gap. Every blow works with a dagger and with dual daggers alike; Dual Blow needs dual daggers.

Skill	From level	Power (max)	MP	Reuse	Notes
Backstab	40	5,479	112	3 seconds	not from the front; damage goes straight to HP, past CP; 15% — take half of HP
Deadly Blow	40	5,479	68	3 seconds	from any side; 10% — take half of HP
Blinding Blow	66	3,653	72	30 seconds	if it lands, an 80% chance to turn the target's back to you; you get speed +40 for 15 seconds
Lethal Blow	76	5,773	77	4 seconds	cast 1.8 seconds; 15% — take half of HP
Throwing Dagger	80	3,488	82	45 seconds	thrown at range 300; a 40% chance of target speed ×0.2 for 10 seconds
Dual Blow	83	11,234	82	8 seconds	dual daggers only; 1% — leave the target at 1 HP, 8% — take half

"Take half of HP" is how it works on monsters; on a player such a hit drops CP to 1, and the rare full lethal leaves 1 HP and 1 CP.

Getting behind. Shadow Step moves the PW behind the target from range 600 and makes it lose its target. The reuse is 75 seconds, so walk around ordinary mobs on foot and keep the jump for PvP and for anyone running away. The skill description calls Backstab a hit in the back; in the Mobius build it lands whenever you are not in front of the target, so from the side too. If the target hasn't turned, use Deadly Blow.

Land rate. A blow lands more often from behind than from the front. Blow chance multipliers: Mortal Strike (×1.2 for 120 seconds), Focus Death (×1.6), Assassination (×1.03), Dual Dagger Mastery (×1.05, dual daggers only), Wind Riding (×1.2 for 30 seconds). There is also Dagger Mastery: after a crit it has a 33% chance to give blow chance ×1.1 for 5 seconds, and physical skills cost 40% MP. In the Mobius build DEX raises the chance as well; on some servers DEX does nothing for it.

Damage. In H5 blow damage is skill power plus P. Atk, so pick the dagger with the highest attack in its grade. That is then multiplied by crit power — the Vicious Stance toggle (+609), SA Critical Damage, the Death Whisper buff — and by Critical Wound on the target: crit damage taken ×1.3 for 30 seconds, reuse 8 seconds.

How to play a PW in H5

Solo. Before the pull — Mortal Strike (reuse 150 seconds, lasts 120) and Focus Death (120 seconds, reuse 30), with the Vicious Stance toggle on. On the target — Critical Wound, then Backstab, Deadly Blow and Lethal Blow as each comes off reuse, weaving in Dual Blow from level 83. Elemental Heal (power 546, cast 5 seconds) brings HP back — heal between mobs and rest under Chameleon Rest.

When a pull goes wrong. Ultimate Evasion gives evasion +25 and evasion against physical skills +40 for 30 seconds (reuse 900 seconds). From 83 you also get Wind Riding, but the two share a type and won't stay up together, so pop it once Ultimate Evasion runs out. Fake Death and Switch (reuse 3 seconds) shed aggro, and from level 81 so does Hide: invisibility for 30 seconds, reuse 180 seconds.

In a party. The PW hits mobs that are facing the tank. Charm (reuse 15 seconds) and Switch take aggro off you, while Lure pulls a single mob. In H5 Sand Bomb hits one target at range 150 and cuts its accuracy by 12. The Wind Rider has no Battle Force channel in H5.

Buffs. What a dagger fighter wants most is Haste (attack speed ×1.33), Death Whisper (crit power ×1.35), Focus (crit rate ×1.3) and Might (P. Atk ×1.15).

Chests and traps. Unlock opens chests and doors, Summon Treasure Key turns Thief Key into keys (reuse 600 seconds), and from level 74 Find Trap and Remove Trap spot and disarm traps.

What doesn't stack for the PW

PW skill	Doesn't stack with	What stays
Focus Death	Focus Chance — same type and level	the last one applied; for blows keep Focus Death up
Wind Riding	Ultimate Evasion — same type and level	the last one applied: press the second when the first runs out
Entangle	Throwing Dagger, other players' Slow, Frost Bolt	Throwing Dagger and Slow are the same level, so the last one applied stays: Entangle over Throwing Dagger weakens the target's slow; Frost Bolt is a lower level — Entangle removes it, but it can't remove Entangle
Bleed	Sting from an AW, Blade Rush from a Berserker, Ice Dagger	one bleed, the last one applied
Bluff	all stuns — Shield Stun, Hammer Crush, Rush Impact	only one stun on the target
Sand Bomb	Seal of Chaos from an Overlord, Curse Chaos	the last one applied
Spirit Barrier	Chant of Fire, Magic Barrier	the last one applied; all give M. Def ×1.3
Sprint	Wind Walk, Pa'agrian Haste	the last one applied; all give speed +33

Order: both blows → Dagger Mastery → Vicious Stance → Light Armor Mastery, then Mortal Strike and Blinding Blow as they open up; Charm and Elemental Heal get whatever SP is left. Divine Inspiration has 4 levels (at 52, 61 and 76): Ancient Book: Divine Inspiration (Original Language Version) drops from raid bosses such as Death Lord Hallate lv. 73 (56%), Ancient Book: Divine Inspiration (Manuscript) — from Baium lv. 78 (100%).

The Wind Rider in H5 costs 558,340,000 SP: Symbol of the Assassin — 150,000,000, Dual Blow — 100,000,000, Throwing Dagger — 70,000,000, Dodge and Critical Wound — 60,000,000 each. Learn Lethal Blow, Focus Death and Assassination first, then Critical Wound and Dual Blow; the 150 million symbol can wait until last. Skills marked "scroll" can't be bought with SP — each needs its own Forgotten Scroll. The Fighter's Will scroll drops from the epic bosses Beleth, Ekimus and Tiat, and also from level 84 beasts — Young Buffalo, Adult Buffalo, Young Grendel and Adult Grendel. The datapack has no source for the Dual Dagger Mastery, Hide and Wind Riding scrolls — check how your server hands them out.

Enchanting. Deadly Blow's Power route up to +30 lifts its power from 5,479 to 7,192, and the first step succeeds 82% of the time at level 76. Wind Rider skills go up to +15: Lethal Blow — up to 6,965, Focus Death on the first route — blow chance ×1.7; their first-step chance at 76 is 18%. Dual Blow, Throwing Dagger, Critical Wound and Dodge can't be enchanted.

If your server runs Freya or Gracia Final

The High Five datapack flags Throwing Dagger and Dual Blow as new to this chronicle, so on Freya and Gracia Final the Wind Rider most likely doesn't have them: with dual daggers he is left with Backstab, Deadly Blow and Lethal Blow. Nothing else (Shadow Step at 40, the level 81–83 scrolls, reuse times) carries such flags, and we have no data of our own for those chronicles — check the skill list at the elven trainer on your server.

PW gear

Grades open at levels 20, 40, 52, 61, 76, 80 and 84; attack and set bonuses come from the High Five datapack, and the item picks are what players usually recommend. Dual daggers only appear at S grade.

Without the Dual Dagger Mastery scroll, dual daggers have no mastery of their own: Dynasty Dual Daggers have P. Atk 304, Dynasty Knife - Critical Damage has P. Atk 291 but comes with an SA for crit power. Go by your budget — after the scroll you'll move to duals anyway.

80–84 · S80 grade

Armor	Weapon
Moirai Leather Breastplate — set: P. Atk ×1.0426, attack speed ×1.04, speed ×1.03, DEX +2, CON −2	Icarus Dual Daggers, P. Atk 332; before the Dual Dagger Mastery scroll — Icarus Disperser - Critical Damage, P. Atk 318

From level 81 the duals pull ahead: Icarus Dual Daggers have P. Atk 332, Icarus Disperser - Critical Damage has P. Atk 318; Dual Dagger Mastery adds P. Atk +87.5 and blow chance ×1.05, and from level 83 Dual Blow only works with duals. All a single dagger keeps is its SA Critical Damage.

84–85 · S84 grade

Armor	Weapon
Vesper Noble Leather Breastplate — set: P. Atk ×1.0557, attack speed ×1.05, crit power +172, evasion +3, STR +1, DEX +1, CON −2	Vesper Dual Daggers, P. Atk 360

Beyond that — Elegia Leather Breastplate (P. Atk ×1.0659, attack speed ×1.06, crit rate +170.5) and Mamba Edge Dual Daggers with P. Atk 437, if your server has them.

Where to level a PW in H5

The zones come from player guides (linedia names Cruma Tower, Tower of Insolence, Wall of Argos, Den of Evil, The Giant's Cave and Dragon Valley) and from XP per HP; each one lists the mobs with the best XP and two items from their drops with the chance at x1 rate. The PW fights one target at a time, so lone mobs suit him better than tight packs.

Level 20–40

Best for a PW: XP per HP peaks in two dungeons at once — The Pilgrim's Necropolis and Catacomb of the Heretic are tied; Necropolis of Sacrifice comes third and already works for a Scout from level 20. Seal Stones drop there at a 70% chance.

PW dyes

Style	Three dyes
leveling, blow damage	Greater Dye of STR (Str+4 Con-4), Greater Dye of DEX (Dex+4 Con-4), Greater Dye of DEX (Dex+1 Con-1)
PvP, Olympiad	Greater Dye of DEX (Dex+4 Str-4), Greater Dye of CON (Con+4 Str-4), Greater Dye of DEX (Dex+1 Str-1)

STR raises P. Atk, which in H5 goes into every blow's damage; DEX gives accuracy, evasion and attack speed, and in the Mobius build blow chance as well. CON in the PvP set is an HP cushion against enemy daggers and archers who strike first.

Subclasses for a PW

With a PW as your main, almost any 2nd class works as a sub. Off-limits are your own class, Overlord, Warsmith, the Kamael, dark elves and the two other dagger classes — Treasure Hunter and Abyss Walker, which sit in the same group as the Plains Walker. Most players take a buffer or a summoner to help level the main, less often a second damage dealer.

The big thing in H5 is certificates: the sub brings skills to the main. From sub level 65 you learn Emergent Ability - Attack (P. Atk with a dagger up to +33.4) or another Emergent Ability, from 75 — an ability matching the sub's type and Master Ability: Master Ability - Attack (+20.1 with a dagger), Warrior Ability - Boost CP (CP +738.3), Rogue Ability - Evasion (evasion +4). From 80 — the Divine transformation book. Only the main class learns any of these.

PW in the Olympiad

The Olympiad is open to nobles on their main class. A typical opener: Hide, creep up unseen, Shadow Step behind and Backstab before the target turns around. Against kiting archers and mages — Throwing Dagger (speed ×0.2 for 10 seconds), against fighters and daggers — Dodge and Wind Riding. Bluff keeps the target stunned for 9 seconds, but only lands 40% of the time. Dual Blow has a 1% chance to leave the opponent at 1 HP and 1 CP — the PW's most dangerous hit in H5. Spirit Barrier and Protection of Rune (M. Def ×1.15) cover you against mages. Symbol of the Assassin is blocked in the Olympiad.

Tree and numbers are from the High Five datapack (L2J Mobius CT 2.6). In High Five spellbooks are gone: everything is learned for SP except Divine Inspiration (Ancient Book) and skills that need a Forgotten Scroll — their SP column says “book or scroll”.

Guides to the other classes are in the Lineage 2 classes section. A dagger fighter in H5 needs people online for PvP and the Olympiad — look for active projects in the L2 High Five servers with a live population catalog.

FAQ

Where should a PW level in H5?

20–40 — The Pilgrim's Necropolis, Catacomb of the Heretic, Necropolis of Sacrifice; 40–52 — Cruma Tower, Garden of Eva, Alligator Island; 52–61 — Devil's Isle, The Enchanted Valley, Catacomb of the Apostate; 61–76 — Tower of Insolence, Wall of Argos, Catacomb of the Witch; 76–80 — Imperial Tomb, Hall of Flames, Forge of the Gods; 80–85 — Antharas' Lair, Hardin's Academy, Swamp of Screams.

What changed for the PW in High Five?

Backstab and Deadly Blow reuse is 3 seconds instead of 11, Lethal Blow 4 instead of 15. New additions: Shadow Step (40), Critical Wound (79), Throwing Dagger (80), dual daggers with Dual Dagger Mastery (81), Wind Riding and Dual Blow (83). Battle Force was removed.

Dagger or dual daggers for a PW in H5?

Until level 81 — a dagger with SA Critical Damage or Dynasty Dual Daggers. From 81 — duals: Dual Dagger Mastery gives P. Atk +87.5 and blow chance ×1.05, and Dual Blow from 83 only works with them.

What dyes should a PW use in H5?

For leveling — Greater Dye of STR (Str+4 Con-4), Greater Dye of DEX (Dex+4 Con-4) and Greater Dye of DEX (Dex+1 Con-1). For PvP — Greater Dye of DEX (Dex+4 Str-4), Greater Dye of CON (Con+4 Str-4) and Greater Dye of DEX (Dex+1 Str-1).

Which subclass should a PW take in High Five?

Any 2nd class except your own, Overlord, Warsmith, the Kamael, dark elves, Treasure Hunter and Abyss Walker. Most often a buffer; sub certificates give the main P. Atk, CP or evasion.

Which marks does a PW need for the 2nd class in H5?

Mark of Seeker, Mark of Life and Mark of Searcher. From level 40 the warrior master changes your class and gives you 15 Shadow Item Exchange Coupon (C-grade).

PW, AW or TH in H5 — what makes the PW different?

Of the three dagger classes, only the PW has a self-heal, Elemental Heal, and an M. Def buff, Spirit Barrier. His Wind Riding gives blow chance ×1.2 — less than Exciting Adventure (×1.3) and Ghost Walking (×1.4), but it adds speed +50 and evasion against physical skills +75. More in AW in H5 and TH in H5.
